Hyeres, Hyeres, Hyeres


Just a quick note to let everyone know that I am still alive. I've just had a fantastic long weekend in the southernest city in provence, Hyeres where I was fortunate enough to visit the festival, I even got to have a long conversation with the Sartorialist. I am pretty tired still and want to save my postings until I can actually write again but this is a teaser. Apologies that I'm so late but what can I say...I'm lazy.

Bollywood Sexy Actress Mallika Sherawat’s sexy pole dance


Hot Mallika Sherawat never misses any opportunity to woo her audience. Many times, her seductive body movements made guys fall weak in the knees. In Kamal Hassan’s Dasavatharam, Mallika is again going to awestruck everyone with her
sexy pole dance.

She is quite excited to perform this new dance form which she has never tried before. Her inquisitiveness about pole dance is so high that before shooting she did a thorough research about the dance, consulted many books and watched videos of expert polo dancers. When she had shaken her body in Maiyya Maiyya for Guru, she was highly appreciated and the same choreographer Brinda has trained her for the pole dance.

Brinda appreciated Mallika’s co-operation. They completed the song in two days without any tensions and barriers. Brinda describes the song in the following words, "The song has been framed to seduce Kamal Hassan where Mallika will be heading some other dancers in the background." Madam M never hesitates to do dance movements however vulgar and awkward it may look. Controversies stuck her in every step but she boldly faces any harsh comments.

After conquering Bollywood, ravishing Kareena Kapoor is heading towards south. Grapevine buzzed that Kareena will act in Telugu film opposite south star Pawan Kalyan in his next flick Puli. Director SJ Suryah and producer Singanamala Ramesh have approached Kareena but she is yet to give her consent.

The action sequences of the film will be directed by a Hollywood action director.

Kareena have a bagful of Bollywood assignments and if the filmmakers are able to convince her then it would be a great achievement for them. The director and the producer are anxiously waiting for her reply.

Bollywood Hot Actress Celina Jaitley says Cheerleaders can't wear saris


Cheerleaders being wrapped cricketer being slapped, Is cricket turning into a Tamasha? Bollywood reacts...
Celina Jaitley: "No I don't think cricket has become a tamasha. I think everything that's happening at the IPL is being turned into a tamasha. Sreesanth being slapped is very unfortunate. I feel that the spirit of sportsmanship which makes every sport noble is now going out of cricket. Sad.
Hema Malini: "Yes, cricket has become a big tamasha. The dignity of the game is completely lost. Cricket by itself is so engrossing. Why does it suddenly need women to cheer on the players and the public?

There's absolutely no need for such distractions. The Indian public had no clue about such entertainment (cheerleaders) before this. And now there's slapping during the game! I am shocked.

Urmila Matondkar: "I don't think cricket is turning into tamasha at all. It's just that cricket has turned more glamorous exciting and bigger. As for the cheerleaders I don't think they serve any purpose at all. We don't need to copy the West blindly."

Naseeruddin Shah: "It's been heading towards that direction for a while. But hasn't everything becoming a tamasha? Look at the daily news."

Mahesh Bhatt: "The triumph of entertainment and the death of cricket. In the desperate effort to entertain our entire existence has become grotesque.

Sonu Sood: "No I don't think so. People in this country have a tendency to overeact. Cheerleaders add glamour to the sport. So why not treat it that way?
Don't spectators enjoy the presence of these cheerleaders at football games abroad? But here there's bound to be a reaction to everything that's new. Sad. What happened to Sreesanth was not right.

I agree cricket has become more of a tamasha less of a sport lately. At least to me it's no longer exciting.

Aryan Vaid: "I've always been a huge cricket fan. Nothing can take away from its popularity. Tomorrow it may can turn into a ras leela, it won't matter. It will continue to grow in popularity.

As for the cheerleaders I don't want to play a spoil sport. But I don't understand the need for so much flesh display. The IPL is a tamasha. And that's what sells. Ask Rakhi Sawant and Mika about it ha ha.

Chitrangda: "I really feel it's more a tamasha than a sport. All I hear are numbers involved in the money-spinning market. I miss the real sport, the real use of talent and the genuine intention of the sport. I'm afraid it's being played for the love of the money and not the game."

Kushal Punjabi: "Firstly this is hardly cricket. T20 is a completely new format. All the rules have been changed, so why not go the whole hog and make it a fun-filled event with cheerleaders, celebrities, the works?

As for the slap, fights happen in every sport. So let's not get carried away. Let's just enjoy the tamasha and let's be entertained. We are an entertainment-crazy people.

Muzzamil Ibrahim: "I've played cricket under 16 and on national level. Cricket per se incites passion. No need for cheerleaders and other props to set the pulse running. It has to be some non-cricketers who have turned into a money-making circus.

Ashish Chowdhary: "Well cricket is meant to be entertainment for all. And cheerleaders are a fun part of it. We don't need to ape the West. But it's entirely up to the organizers what elements they want to bring in.

But please let's not bring in the moral police. There's more nudity happening on tv. We get offended in the country for the silliest of reasons. As for Sreesanth's slap it's a matter between two team mates.

They's understand their bonding better than any of us. If Sree complains it should be looked into. If he doesn't we need to mind our own business. Emotions always run hight during sports events.. If cricket has become a tamasha I love every bit of it.

Samir Soni: "Certain frills might have been added to the cricket format to broaden the fan base. But that apart the game continues to be intensely engaging.The slapping incident is unfortunate.

But such things happen in any sport so why single out cricket? About the cheerleaders the less said the better. Cricket being big in our country everything about it gets blown out of proportion.

Prakash Jha: "Ha ha. Market pressures will turn everything into a tamasha. There's much more of it coming up."

Riya Sen: "Cricket as a game has a huge credibility attached to it. Some peculiar situations may arise. But nothing can take away from its charm."

Tusshar Kapoor: "Everything is turned into media entertainment these days. With so many channels on the air the appetite for controversy is insatiable."

Koena Mitra: "The slapping on the field was an ugly situation not expected from a sportsman. But I'm sure this incident is just an isolated one.The Indian team has such unity it's impossible for them to fight with one another.

As for the cheerleaders, they can't be dressed in sarees on the field. Come on! Some politicians are again wasting their time fighting a bogus issue.

Rohit Roy:"Well T20 is meant to be a tamasha kind of cricket in any case. It's the perfect blend of cricket and entertainment with Bollywood ka tadka.Quite like the baseball games in America.

The incident between Bhajji and Sree, however unfortunate, proves that cricketers are not taking the game lightly. I'm hosting the Jaipur leg of the tournament.

I've seen the matches from close quarters. Let me tell you they're fought tooth and nail. As for censoring the cheerleaders, that's another example of moral hypocrisy that exists in oir country.

Neetu Chandra: "No I don't think it's a tamasha at all. Rather it's a celebration of cricket and I'm sure the ILP will be like the Olympics of cricket.

It's amazing to see so many professionals apart from sports persons making the IPL happen. I hope everyone puts aside personal issues. Because the whole world is watching India."

Marchesa Fall 2008 Collection and Its Architectural Inspirations

Marchesa's Fall 2008 Collection paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth 1. It is mainly composed of evening gowns and cocktail dresses. The colour palette was mostly black, purple, red and ivory, with the one pale blue one-shouldered gown. Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig used ruffles, rosettes and lace.

The gowns were gorgeous, aren't they? But I'm sure you'll love them more after visiting Trendinista blog. Jill Sherman, author of the blog, studied the designs of Machesa's gowns and she was able to compile photos of the gowns with spires and pagodas that somehow looked like them. You'll never believe this, at first glance you'd probably think that the gowns were inspired by these architectural designs.

Hey guess what. I FREAKING HATE hot weather.

Please stop saying it) AND cost less than $100! Also, why do they call them jumpers? Playsuits? Whatever. I just wanna spend all of the days between now and October laying around in airconditioning and wishing I lived in John Ritter's apartment in Three's Company.

Flair Magazine April 2008: Hollywood Dreams with Flavia Oliveir

Have you seen the April issue of Flair magazine? Well, it has a spread featuring model Flavia Oliveira with an editorial title "Hollywood Dreams". Flavia portrayed an image of an aspiring model who seeks stardom, finds rejection, romance, publicity, boredom and personal epiphanies along the way.

In these photos, you will see Flavia smoking Nat Sherman Fantasia cigarettes in bright, spring-colored hues and holding a bottle of whisky. Do you consider cigarette and whisky as glamorous and fashionable accessories to an outfit or they're just self-destructive ?

Perforated Plz: F-Troupe's White Patent Leather Saddle Shoes

($158, f-troupe, Oaknyc.com)
Usually white shoes are a HUGE nein, but these white patent perforated saddle shoes -- they're perforated with teensy little STARS -- break through the busted code and come out clear on the side of awesome sauce. And they remind me of the Steve Madden Skiip perforated flats I loved for so long.


A cursory Internet search brings up only the 8.5 at Zappos, so, if you're a 8.5 AND you want these shoes, it's SO your lucky day!

Bath and Beyond

Driving through the green English countryside on a perfectly sunny day is absolutely dreamy. Walking through the historic city of Bath, where Jane Austen lived for 5 years and found inspiration for such loved characters as Mark Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett, is even dreamier. I am still reminiscing about the quaint cobblestone streets, ancient Roman Baths, magnificent residential homes of Georgian architecture, and an overpriced tourist trap known as the Jane Austen Centre which greets visitors with a photo of actor Colin Firth (you should already know who that is).














The Perfect Shoe?



I have never had the perfect pair of nice red shoes, I don't think. Thinking back, I recall a pair of slip-on Diesel sneaks that were awesome (but smelly, eventually); a pair of shitty vintage pumps whose soles fell apart on the first wearing (ah, vintage); a pair of woven leather Dolce Vita moccasins that are comfy as hell but sorta make my feet look fat and are difficult to keep on the feets -- and that's it. I did frequently borrow a pair of Tamron's when we were roomies back in the day: Red heels can really pump up a black-pantsed professional look, and are of course great with jeans for going out, etc. But then she moved and I was s.o.o.l. God, I miss those days of a double shoe wardrobe. And so it is with great glee that I present these fabulous Seychelles peep-toe kitten heels, criminally overlooked by Ms. Lohan in her recent roundup. Are they not just perfect?! I love them so, and they shall be mine in three to five business days. $64.95 plus free shipping! Whee!

They don't give you the pic with the best view of it in big form, but here it is in itty-bitty format anyway.



Totally cute, right?
