Taapsi’s embroidered saree

I just don’t particularly care for this saree – individual pieces are OK; the blouse looks fine, the embroidery is great, the colors are not conflicting, but its not coming together for me. I think that the saree might even look better if one lost the embroidery on the pallu..

mughde Godse – transparent saree, short petticoat, bright lipstick.. it is all wrong

So many things wrong here.. first of all, why would you have a slip instead of petticoat, and that too for a sheer transparent saree? Jewelry is a misfit and lipstick is disproportionately red..

I thought the black saree she put on in 2009 at the filmfare award was odd, this one is odder..

Genelia in Manish Malhotra saree – kind of nondiscript

Genelia in a Manish Malhotra’s ivory saree. Saree is non-descript and the blouse is not worth describing.

Only attractive thing in this whole picture is the beautiful smile of Ms. Genelia.

Another view on Rekha’s sarees

At MSN Lifestyle, they have comments on Rekha’s gold saree and I thought they were all valid and witty and right on point.

Yawn! Yes Rekha, we get it. You have bought the town of Kanchipuram, and its citizens sit day and night creating silk wonders only for you. You have also bought the town of Kolar, which is where you get your endless supply of chunky and traditional jewelry from. And you have, on your staff, a brilliant head masseuse who keeps you hair looking so thick and luscious.
We got all that about fifteen years ago. It’s time to teach us some new lessons. Like how bad you feel about clashing with the bride’s carefully worked out gold look? And why you have sindoor in your hair. Was there another wedding we don’t know about? And if yes, how do we get those pictures?

But she looks so great in these sarees, I can never get tired of looking at her in the Kanchipuram saree with chunky jewelry from Kolar. Its like.. why mess with perfection?!

Love this picture of Rekha, Jaya Bhaduri and Asha Bhosle

What can I say? Rekha looks gorgeous. She has been wearing a lot of gold sarees lately and I think the color and the concept of gold suits her.

Actually this might be one of the few pictures I have seen of Jaya and Rekha together – they do have a lot of history behind them.

Here is a close up of her.

The images are from Gautam Rajadhyaksha’s Chehere (“faces”) Book Launch. I would love to see this book. He is a genius photographer for sure.

Kareena in a seductive green saree and strapless blouse

I have no idea as to what the story line of “Main aur Mrs. Khanna (Me and Mrs. Khanna)” was. But in the days of Savita Bhabi, I don’t have to extend my thought much farther to guess..

I do think that Kareena looks very seductive in this butterfly saree. The strapless blouse adds the extra oomph that is needed to elevate the scene.

I decided not to put this in “wordless Wednesday” section, because I was concerned that story this saree might tell would not be suitable for gentle readers of this blog… not!

Nargis Bagheri bursting with colors

I find the sarees with unexpected burst of colors on the pallu kind of intriguing and exciting. I would have preferred slightly lighter color on the base of the saree, but otherwise I don’t particularly mind the saree..
