Women of the Veil

I'm a girl who loves biology, music, stories, Disney animations (Aladdin, Mulan), drawing, and acting. My definition of swimming is jumping around and splashing everybody. I love pasta. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This blog is a very specific collection: I try to post only portraits of happy, genuinely smiling women, but sometimes other things just sneak in. No, that is not a picture of me.
