Beauty in Eye of Beholder
More and more women are having plastic surgery to improve their looks, but it seems Iraqi men are not so hung up on conventional beauty.
In this episode of The Other Half, a report from Sulaimaniyah featured Ali Hussein who pointed out that women’s beauty was short-lived, and that their real beauty was their culture and education. But in the same piece, Jwan Lawa begged to differ, saying that looking good was really important to her - with most of her income spent on expensive cosmetics.
Zahra al-Asady reported from a plastic surgery clinic in Baghdad. Hala Abdulkarim, a university student, said she had had an operation on her nose and felt happier with her appearance. But Adil Hamid, civil servant, remarked that such surgery created was a western fad, which Iraqi women didn’t need.
In a vox pop by Nuhad Kareem in the al-Kut area south of Baghdad, Iman Abdulrazaq, a doctor, said he felt well-educated women were always beautiful, while Salih Hamidi insisted that veiled women were the most beautiful.
The show also interviewed a women poet, Huda al-Asady, who said that people were more concerned about security these days than their looks.
