I wrote about the sari bar ad “six yards of attitude” from Sri Lanka, and it is reproduced below. It is one of my favorite saree ads.
There are four most beautiful women in Sri Lanka, competing for the miss Sri Lanka 2008 title; and observe the blouse design for each of the saree; they are EXACTLY the same. It’s like the same tailor put them to gather in different colors.
Here are a couple of more pictures of the debutantes; and all of them have exactly the same style of blouse.
Why is that? I can’t believe that the pageant would require them to wear that, so there must be another deeper reason.
Hate this saree blouse and all others that are in the same genre of
ta-ta (*oob) blouses!
At times you might want to show your endowments and may be even accentuate them, but this is really really tacky and slutty way to do it.
If you want to add a different color to your blouse, there are plenty of other opportunities; be a blouse Picasso and draw whatever you want; but don’t be a graffiti hacker drawing sophomoric female body parts.
This style comes from the dancing girls in the mughal court, and sure enough, if you want to look a little bit like a dancing girl, you can try it; but for others, dance away from this style.
The sarees at Sri Lanka beauty pageant were shining even brighter than the ones at miss Femina India 2008
It’s been a while since I saw a gorgeous saree and absolutely plain blouse. But she carries it really well!
Aishwarya Rai looks pretty in a pink sari with silver work all over. As always she is perfectly accessorized, we huge dangling earrings and a shiny silver bracelet. The small silver bindi adds the perfect finishing touch.
We have never seen Aishwarya wearing an ugly sari or bad jewelry. Have you?
If there was a proper saree competition, as there should be, you can tell who will win here.
The one on the left has too much exposed, and somehow lacks grace; one of the right has taken the shortcut of wearing a saree with pre-wrapped thing; the person who is wearing the saree right is the one in the middle and that is:
