Meet Princess Fatemeh Khanum “Esmat al-Dowleh,” who was the Princess of Persia.

This is from the onion right?

So... most of the ladies on here believe that they are the most beautiful men in the world and that everyone wants to fall down and worship their caftan.

She is the patron saint of datalounge

Is she were alive today, she’d be married to a Jonas Brother.

The Tiffany of her generation.

A mustache on a woman was a symbol of beauty in her time.

The power of PR to brainwash the masses.

Gilbert Godfried could play her in a biopic.

Ivanka of Persia

A little truth...

Is she were alive today, she’d be a Jonas Brother.

Stunning and brave!!!

Does she have an OnlyFans yet?

Kandy Muse's auntie

She looks like Kandy Muse from Drag Race.

I wonder if she went to a gay orgy and got rejected.

This is the outfit Meghan wanted to wear for the funeral.

[quote] Does she have an OnlyFans yet?

Does she have “an” OnlyFans yet?

So they were as inbred as the European royal families?

The 'debunking' article on this 'junk history meme' presented here only says that the timings claimed are wrong - everything else is correct.

"The primary figure in this history is Princess Fatemeh Khanum “‘Esmat al-Dowleh”[1] (1855/6–1905), a daughter of Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar (1831–1896), King of Persia from 1848–1896, and one of his wives, Taj al-Dowleh. The photograph circulating is indeed ‘Esmat, not an actor, and was taken by her husband circa the mid- to late-19th century. This information alone, readily available online and in print, contradicts the claim that ‘Esmat was “the ultimate symbol of beauty… in the early 1900s.” Since the photo of ‘Esmat was taken years before then, and she died in 1905, it’s a stretch to make her an icon of a period she barely graced.

The only part of the meme that has a grain of truth to it is that there was indeed a period in Persian history when ‘Esmat’s appearance — namely, her “mustache” — was considered beautiful. According to Harvard University professor Dr. Afsaneh Najmabadi, “Many Persian-language sources, as well as photographs, from the nineteenth century confirm that Qajar women sported a thin mustache, or more accurately a soft down, as a sign of beauty.”[2] But, as Dr. Najmabadi clearly points out, this concept of beauty was at its height in the 19th century. In other words, the 1800s, not the 1900s, as the meme claims."

Why the James Franco porn mustache

Why the hell is she dressed like that? In fucking loafers and knee socks? That is not flattering on a big gal. I know some Arab chicks today who look like that.

Maybe she was an early hipster.

Her legs were hairy too so looks like she was a very au natural gal

[quote] I know some Arab chicks today who look like that.

But she was Persian not Arab!

No wonder Persia no longer exists.

Like a candle in the wind.

Maybe Persian men liked non-binaries before it was chic

R26 was she the Iranian Rose?

Not homely at all!

I love her!

Tell me what you don’t like about yourself Princess Fatemeh?

Anyone who looks like that and has an average or attractive partner must have a solid heart of gold and be a complete freak between the sheets.

I think she's tremendous.

She kind of reminds me of a Weeble Wobble

Her pubic hair contained at least 70% fecal matter, rest assured.

She don’t fall down

It looks like an ANVIL fell on her head.

I think G. would be wonderful in a film of her life - I can smell an Oscar for her. All the make-up in the world could not transform me into Princess Fatemeh.

She’d have to have her clam steamed and pressed multiple times

what cute...socks?

Nice culottes

R17, I don’t get it. What is this “an” joke?

How could she be both his daughter and his wife?

Maybe she was very witty

I would say she has a pretty face, but, well . . .

Persians didn't have convents or nunneries to ban their embarrassing, unattractive female offspring like this one?

Convents were like butch prisons for life. Ireland kept digging up young female skeletons with partially healed broken bones in so called Magdalene cemeteries. The sisters/nuns murdered them before their bones could heal.

[r46] crazy. Why did they do that?

We found her at last! She's a long lost Khanum Kardashian, whose brand new reality show "Keeping Up With Khanum" starts next month on TV Land!

Know what really drove the men wild? Her pussy smelled like goat

Is that Danny Devito in drag?

One man's Mede is another man's Persian.

Excuse her beauty!

First Lindsay Lohan and now Princess Esmat!

Justine Bateman's next book is half way finished!

r52 and their eyebrows! On point!

"I Said, 'Don't Call Me Brave First' before that Hollywood Whore stole my book title!"

Isn’t this what Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner looked like before plastic surgery?

[quote] Maybe Persian men liked non-binaries before it was chic

She'd be a trans today

Fuck you, Melissa McCarthy! And you can go fuck off, Gabourey Sidibe! The biopic is MINE!

And Kathy Bates, I WILL cut a bitch. My snack purse has a large knife for just that purpose.

Oh my god, Danny Devito! I love your work!

Wait, that's a woman????

"She" looks like Reza Farahan from Shahs of Sunset, in a burqa and knee high socks.

You just know that "Princess" FAT-ME has a wildly hairy snatch.

I doubt it smells very nice, either.

Her milkshake brought all the boys to the yard.

I can't stop giggling at her photo!

Besides being BUTT UGLY, I also can't get past that outfit.

It's like, "Lets take this really ugly woman, and put her in a REALLY ugly and silly looking outfit. Yeah, that's the ticket!"

Omg....

If someone as ugly as that turned me down, I'd probably kill myself out of embarrassment as well.

I would not be surprised if she had a hairy stomach, back, and chest, as well.

I’m sure she was hirsute, but Persians have historically been adept for centuries at hair removal via threading and sugaring. What happened during this dynasty that hairy became fashionable? So odd.

Wasn't she on LOST?

I remember reading that indeed the moustached women were considered hot in that era in that part of the world- Persia, Armenia, Turkey etc...

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have found the MISSING LINK!

They were ahead of their time on gender-queering.

That's obviously a guy who doesn't even try looking feminine.

OMG she really DID have a moustache!

Sexy!

Yowza.

I can't, with that photo at R73..... rofl.

Really, I just can't....

Twitter is about convince everyone that "she" was the first trans person and fought for everyones rights. Wouldn't be surprised if they are already photoshopping her into pictures of the stonewall riots.

OMG! Is she wearing socks with those Weejuns? what was she thinking?

Thanks for posting that article R9, it was an interesting read. Sadly the rest of this thread makes the writer's point all too well.

I’d seen girls and women in healthcare settings who looked like her. Problem was, they’re genetics cases and their parents almost always closely related, cousins or uncles-nieces pairing.

This is evidence female beauty is truly culturally defined. Mustaches, elongated necks, bound feet, wasp waists via corsets, black-dyed teeth, unibrows, genital and breast mutilation, et cetera.

It seems male beauty is mostly consistent and simple. Tall, broad shoulders and good hair.

Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice are reuniting to write the light operetta musical.

I see a new lewk for DL fave Alok Vaid-Menon!

@r43, "How could she be both his daughter and his wife? "

You don't know how royalty works, do you? Let's update, Queen Elizabeth just lost her husband AND her cousin at the exact same moment

I offer 3 camels and a bushel of dates for her hand in marriage!

Mercedes (MJ) of Shahs of Sunset wishes she looked this good.

Shut up she’s lovely, she a Kardashian of Persia.

Those are child-bearing ankles.

She’ll never make it as a Disney princess without a complete make over and a white girl singing her songs.

If she were alive today, she'd be writing on Huffing Post: "My Genderfuck 'Stache Doesn't Make Me Less of a Woman."

Pretty sure that’s a photo of a wombat in a dress.

Are wombats native to Persia?

Please, don't insult Wombats

[quote] If she were alive today, she'd be writing on Huffing Post: "My Genderfuck 'Stache Doesn't Make Me Less of a Woman."

If she were alive today, she'd probably be an angry lesbian writer, ala Roxane Gay.

Is that Chrissy Teigan?

R94 Angry QUEER writer, lesbians and gays don't exist anymore.

The Princess of Persia and the Queen of Farts.

Alok her alot

The perfect match, a century apart. That's sad.

They know the 13 suitors is a lie because she was married at 9 years old. Discuss.

I bet she was hot when she was 9.

Did you have to roll her in sand to find the wet spot before sex?

I LOVED R52 ! I was terribly sad when a poster on another thread told me she had died . She was a lovely mess indeed !

Did Persia have an Olympic team? She'd have made a helluva shot-putter.

There was a maharajah who came all the way from India to beg one of her compression stockings. Later he strangled himself with it!

Is this an All Stars outfit for Kandy Muse?

She's quite an ... errrmm..... handsome woman.

Her daring fashion choices are inspirational to me!

Will She/He/They become a Datalounge icon?

Best to avoid that gene pool.

That's a man, baby!

"I bet she was hot when she was 9. "

Matt Gaetz aren't you in enough trouble?

Proof that homosexuality existed there, nobody would fuck that.

I need her to sit on my FACE!

No way that's female. That's an ugly man in a dress.

R93 Fun fact about wombats - their poop is cube shaped.

Maybe she killed them when they rejected her natural beauty

R116 “She’s so cold I bet she has her period in cubes!”

She looks dowdy

Is she listed on Find a Grave?

The best source I have found, although the Australian English seems unproved.

Feeling cute - might delete later

Do you think her grave site has been destroyed by bombing?

Wow

Akim Tamiroff IS the Princess Fatemeh Khanum!

Looks like John Belushi in drag..

That's Yashar Ali!

If you saw her wandering down the street, someone would probably put some money in a cup.

Muslim women were not allowed to dress in skirts above the knees

Socks are photoshopped

Do you think she had a Brazilian wax?

R105, I laughed out loud!!!

Do you think Persia mid 19th century women even knew what Brazil was?

Lena Dunham could play her in the movie

She looks inbred.

She probably had q delicate downy landing strip after many waxing sessions. However, it would grow back overnight.

She was shit. I am the Princess of Franistan

She was early frau royalty

That Borat daughter should play her in the movie and it should be a comedy. No Rudy though.

"Muslim women were not allowed to dress in skirts above the knees "

What knees?

"No Rudy though. "

What?! I am Princess Rudiana of Italy

Y'all hatin'-ass hoes will never achieve mah level of [italic]beauté[/italic]!

Damn, I wish I could drive men to suicide

In her bravest role yet, Julia Robert’s IS Princess Fatemeh!

@r143, "Damn, I wish I could drive men to suicide "

Don't sell yourself short, cupcake, I'm sure many men your life have given it serious consideration

One shouldn't wear skirts with legs like that. A full burqa covering all but the eyes would suffice.

No one wanted her Persian rug

Why is she wearing such short skirts? Wasn't anything besides a bit of ankle showing considered scandalous?

One of the greatest WAPs of all time, apparently

She looks like a Babylonian Housewife.

@r142, I double dare you to stick your head under that skirt...

... and live to talk about it

I have a shortlist for you to practice on R143.

They're so lucky the Vikings sold Scandinavian women to them. It boosted their DNA.

DHPS ?

I have been unable to stop masturbating to these pictures.

[quote]In her bravest role yet, Julia Robert’s IS Princess Fatemeh!

Oh, dear.

[quote]She was shit. I am the Princess of Franistan

You're only a MAHARINCESS, bitch.

And yet, just a few decades later, Princess Fawzia Fuad made an appearance and later married an Egyptian king.

Iranian women clean up nicely after they adopt Western techniques and standards of beauty.

Does this woman remind you of anyone? A great beauty of the 20th century, born in India with a Persian/Afghan grandparent?

False.

No one thought she was beautiful.

No one.

R158 That is Scarlet O'hara.

Madonna is in talks to play her (as Madam X) as the new Evita-like Persian Princess of the People. The tour-de-force musical number is "Don't Cry for Me, Persia", but some of the lyrics are being changed. Here's a leaked working draft:

It won't be easy, you'll think I look strange When I try to explain how I feel about my mustache That I still need your love after all the hair that I've grown You won't believe I'm a woman All you will see is a ugly "girl" you once knew Although "she's" dressed up in caftans to the nines At zeros and ones with you.

Her twat smells of gardenias.

Did those 13 men commit suicide in advance of her charging at and attempting to eat them because they had all failed at trying to service her adequately?

She was a tranny avant la lettre.

For many women, the burka is a blessing.

R158, you are wrong. Princess Fawzia Fuad was the daughter of Fuad I (first king of Egypt and Sudan, sovereign of Nubia, Kordofan and Darfur) and his second wife, Nazli Sabri. Fawzia was the first wife of the Iranian Shah Reza Pahlavi, whose father Reza Khan (later on, Reza Shah Pahlavi) deposed the Qajar dynasty in 1925.

She was not Iranian by any means, but of Albanian, Circassian and Arab descent on her father's side (her grandfather was the famous Ismail Pasha "The Magnificent") and Arab, French, Turkish and Greek descent on her mother's side.

On the other hand, the hideous Fatemeh Khanum was born in 1855 in Iran (66 years before Fawzia, and in a completely different country), as part of the notoriously inbred Qajar dynasty.

She looks like one of my Fraternity Brothers .

We accept her...one of us!

WTF is Circassian? Wasn't that one of the alien races on Star Trek?

^ No, it's that country where all the guys are circumcised

She just needs some nip and tuck.

My dick is raw from spanking out so many loads to these pics!

I like blue.

This thread is making me SO horny!!

It's hard to stop touching yourself when you see such a hot bitch as this.

I’m in tears from this thread. Biggest laughs I’ve had so far this month.

The frilly pantaloons and white socks that launched a million wankfests all across Persia...

"I'm not wearing any panties"

She originated "The Ocarina" dance.

That’s the photo of Khloe that the Kartrashians tried to have scrubbed from the internet.

She looks like a young Jon Lovitz!

There's two things I know for sure:

She was sent here from heaven and she's daddy's little girl.

As I drop to my knees by her bed at night

She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes

And I thank god for all of the joy in my life

Oh, but most of all

For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer

Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair

"Walk beside the pony, Daddy, it's my first ride."

"I know the cake looks funny, Daddy, but I sure tried."

Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right

To deserve a hug every morning And butterfly kisses at night.

If she were any prettier, I'd have to say she resembled Ernest Borgnine.

She's prettier than Elizabeth Taylor!

I'd rather meet the Prince.

R182 Where’s Maurice Chevalier to prove wrong at times like this?

@r131, "Do you think she had a Brazilian wax? "

How do you think Brazil learned to clear-cut the entire Amazon Forest?

::; and one of his wives Taj al-Dowleh.

Was his wife Taj banished or executed for producing this daughter?

The only thing I know about that region is that Boris Johnson's great-great-grandmother was a Circassian and possibly a slave.

Weekend in Mar-a-Lago! For the dinner crowd of donors, including Stallone, tonight, I am writing a skit to perform. I will play Queen Sheba, and Donald will play King Solomon. I am so excited! It will be so much fun.

^ Ol' Betty could stand to skip a few Happy meals herself... Oh, and it's Queen *OF* Sheba

Was she reincarnated as Karen Olivo?

Are there any ass shots?

R189 Cool flag!

I'll bet that her snatch smells like a mix of b.o. and day old seafood that has been sitting out in the hot sun.

Did she have "an" OnlyFans?

These black and white modelling phots of Lourdes are amazing! Best she’s ever looked.
