My name is Iran. Iran Davar Ardalan. Like the country I'm named for, my life has been filled with contradictions. Here's a picture of me in my photo album from March of 1982 posing like Brooke Shields. "Nothing comes between me and my Calvins" - remember that? It was taken at a photographer's studio in Boston where I was going to high school for a time. The next photo was taken two years later in Tehran. I'm veiled and somber, a young bride in Ayatollah Khomeini's new revolution.
