With all the adjectives used in the press description of this saree, I have run out of things to say except that I like the saree.

Rukhsar Sizzles in Benney And Babloo

Here is a plot of Benney and Babloo:

Smitten by the glamor of Mumbai, two friends, Benny (Kay Kay Menon) and Babloo (Rajpal Yadav) land up in distinctly different jobs – Benny as the bellboy of a five-star hotel and Babloo as a waiter in a ladies service bar.

Benny believe his job is better than Babloo’s and makes fun of him on many occasions. Benny’s pride fades away as they both realize that even though their job may look different on the outside, they’re quite similar on the inside.

Benny witnesses several criminal activities at the hotel, from drug abuse to political fiascos while Babloo sees the human side of the ladies bar. The truth stares them in the face that five-star hotels are not so different from ladies bars

And yes, ladies service bar is a euphemism for house of illrepute.

Considering her role in the movie, the saree suits her well.

Ultimate Luxury wedding show – sarees

I like NC Shania’s work – especially her emphasis on wearing the saree in different ways.

I have advocated that for eons – there are 200+ different ways of draping a saree and I think every woman should know at least five, so she can take the same saree and transform it in to something new and exciting and wear the patina of a different culture.

In the wedding exhibition, NC showed off 36 different ways of wearing a saree. Here she is explaining the drape of one of them.

She is taking the exhibition to Delhi in the next couple of weeks, so I’ll have a second opportunity to emphasize this.

I know, some of you want to see how it is done and I should do my part in explaining some of it. Oh, how much I miss Chantal Boulengere at this time. A few years ago I looked in to getting some high quality videos done, but then I got distracted with something else that was shiny. One of these days, I’ll focus on it again.

Sarees on pedestal, where they should be

Can’t think of a better way to use photoshop.

Sarees on a pedestal – mostly manish malhotra work.

Geeze… enough with this large bindis… such an un-bengali thing to do…

I know, it is supposed to be “Bengali” tradition… and this is Miss Kolkata 2010, so you got to have traditional attire. I get it. I know all about the Durga connection…

But this ever expanding bindis have to stop! Enough already. No oversized-large bindis please!

I also think that this is very “un-bengali” thing to do. A bengali woman is a sophisticated woman who has a sense of style and how could they possibly let a bindi that is out of proportion to their face touch their forehead?

This is no longer a tradition, it has become some sort of caricature.

Just look at the picture. I fully applaud the saree choices but the bindis are turning this image in to some sort of cult image bringing out all the bad jokes about bindis. Enough already!

I wrote about this when Bipasha did this, an oversized bindi in a Mona and Pali saree.

Ok, here are the rules, the oversized bindi only looks good if it is accompanied by the white bindis on both sides that cover the whole forehead.

This is OK

But just the bindi without the additional embellishments – use this size. An oversized un-proportioned single bindi doesn’t look so good.

Yes, you may step out of the frame – Manish Malhotra’s soft saree

Life is not all glitz and your saree shouldn’t be all glitz either, so says Manish Malhotra with this saree.

Happy birthday to Rupa

I thought about opening a wine bottle or popping a champagne bottle but I settled for a cup of a soothing tea instead.

Wishing a happy birthday to the fellow saree lover, fellow tea lover, fellow blogger and all around beautiful person Rupa!
