Sri Lanakan Sarees
Here are some more pictures of the classic Kandyan Saree for the Sri Lankan airline. In the last picture, you can see a white and maroon Kendyan saree which is more traditional and not necessarily very flattering. But the new design is very contemporary, very soft and captures the spirit of Sri Lanka.
Here is the last post about the Kandyan Saree uniform.
Sarees at Catholic Carnival in Rio De Janeiro
it is Carnival Season in many countries around the world with a Roman Catholic heritage. Celebrations and parades are put on just prior to the observance of Lent. Over the past few weeks parades and celebrations have taken place throughout Europe, the Caribbean and South America. An estimated 730,000 foreign tourists, many fleeing snowy winter conditions in Europe and the United States, traveled to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for this year’s celebrations. Collected here are a handful of images from some of the elaborate celebrations of this Carnival season.

Sonia Dara in the Sports Illustrated bikini issue
Sonia Dara. Nice to see a desi girl in the Sports’ Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
Oh, and she’s a sophomore at Harvard – beauty and brains combined – thats why I love desi women!
Sonia also did a photo shoot for vogue but didn’t wear a saree or anything.
Comical Saree Ad
I find it comical when a model poses next to an object she has no connection with or any intention of using. This one made me chuckle. It appears as though she is exhausted from playing the drums. Take a rest, dear. pounding on the drums while looking beautiful is indeed fatiguing.
Love this porcelain doll
She reminds me of a porcelain doll – so perfect and cute – like she is going to say something and come alive!
Cutie in a Saree
Cute child in a cute little saree. Ok, I know a saree is not really a practical outfit for a toddler but when I saw this photo I just couldn’t help but smile. I hope it makes you smile too.
