Ofcourse the biggest news of the past weekend has been that the NY State legalized same sex marriages. That along with the Pride Parade on Sunday was definitely one of the most historic times in NYC. I don’t know why for the love of God I did not think about doing this shoot in the parade!! I thought about the idea entirely after I was done with the shoot at Grand Central terminal. Oh well. Nonetheless, congratulations to all the gay people in NY. It was a long time coming and I am proud to be a New Yorker where equality always prevails.
Ok so about my outfit. It’s really not an outfit. It is just some chiffon material I draped around my body over a skirt [which I got tailored in India a million years ago]. But all that henna art you see on my leg and shoulder is the fabulous work of my friend Hetal Somaya. I have wanted to incorporate henna in a shoot for months and ofcourse even though I love the traditional Indian and Arabic henna art; I wanted to do something different. So on the leg we ended up doing a creepy tree and on the shoulder we did a skeleton of a snake. Although by the time we actually shot the pictures a lot of the henna had come off and you can’t really see the skull of the snake or some of the tree, I think overall we just had a really good time experimenting.

what can i say? all those comments are already telling the same stuff but i have to tell that i'm agreeing: that colour looks gorgeous on you!! and i love the fact that you and your friend go out and shoot randomly at a place where everyone else seems so average and POP in the middle of this setting there is prutha with that piece of chiffon looking simply amazing. i also like the way your friend did the henna - parts! you are truly inspiring me.
ReplyDeleteand thanks so much for your feedback on my english and writing.. i so appreciate reading things like that from people who know what they are talking about! :)

The idea of wrapping the Chiffon material, like a dress is very creative. Looks very good on You. Also nice new Happy bird clip.
ReplyDeleteHetal did a brilliant job with the design. Imagine u had little time to let it dry completely, but it's a really cool idea naturally evolving after head Dots and face paint. Also Nurbs pics r continuously getting better.
Ur fav kind of high exposure pic with u lurking in the corner is very good. Guess Many people missed that.
The mehendi looks crazy niceeeee!:)

ReplyDeleteI'm speechless. You do crazier posts after another. I think you do sporadic personal style posts so that your readers font die of speechlessness :p
ReplyDeleteDo I even need to say I love it. The chiffon fabric almost looks like a gown in one of the pics!
