Finally!!!

I don't understand what they are. But since patrix, my fellow marathi manus tagged me and Pavan batted his eyelids (now who can resist that), here i am doing one more thing in life for the first time - playing the tag game.

Being a simple and sweet girl that i am (twisted...dare you disagree) i have a HUGE list of crazy things about me. Lets start with some good points...

1. I know all of you have wondered about my *lingerie addict* status. Yes, I am a self confessed lingerie addict especially bras. I have over 25 of them and i don't even want to start ranting on the types. But if i am fair to my *lovables* i have almost all styles and colours. Its a difficult addiction to understand and i know so coz my old man hasn't understood it as yet.

2. I am a die hard martini and scotch buff. Martini has to be extra dry with two olives and just about one cube of ice. And if you have green olives on the sides to nibble, life is heaven. In scotch my all time fave is the royal salute but since i can't afford it daily, i like Chivas regal and the glen series.

3. I cannot for the love of god live without eating fish. If i don't eat fish for over a week, i start feeling unwell. I cannot type this without my tummy rumbling for tisrya, and surmai and bombil...yumms.

4. Contrary to my image here, i do pooja daily. I have toto faith in ganpati bappa.

5. I have been with the same man for the last 6 years. I never thought it possible and i still think its impossible to live with him, but 6 years later..here i am.

6. I am a maharashtrian and no i cannot read or write marathi. Apologies in advance to the marathi manus gang.

7. I hate men who think a woman should not drink or smoke. Such hypocrisy!!!! Someone should stick their cigarette butts where the sun don't shine.

I had to do only 7 (patrix baba said so) and yipppeee i did it.

Now for those people who have made wise cracks and those who have been sweet ... you are tagged and here is the list.

Rule - post 8 random facts about yourself.

Pavan - tujhe kya laga .... tu bach jayega?
Us and them - you are always a buddy.. i would really like to know 8 facts
Priya - this is going to be fun.
Itchingtowrite - it cannot be about the twins babes.
Rahul - SWOT or PERT or fish-bone studies will not be accepted.
Twisted - you had to be here.
Prats --papi..... yeah number late dene ke liye.
QLC - you are the sweetest friend ever.

Porn categories - strap flaunting tan and no tan

I had gone to meet my mother over the weekend. When i came back all the links in the windows address bar were gone except for my fave 5. A lil Sherlock homes-giri showed that some tremendous amount of porn was downloaded. Now what kind of a man does that?? Well mine just did. Aghast when i asked him what shit is this... i got a sweet smile and check it out yourself for an answer. Knowing how would i react to certain categories he had clearly slotted - strap tan and no tan. Now that was cute. Thank you Ol Man for the tip.

That brings us to the topic of the day - strap marks and uneven tanning.

I don't even want to start on tan due to chlorine. Its sticks like freakin areldite. Exceptionally tough to get rid of, this type of tan can be best avoided by using Nivea sunscreen and the right costume. Not much can be done top your legs coz more or less the exposure is the same. But, the shoulder and back can be tinkered with.

The safest bet is the zip-up full back and neck speedo. only arms are bare and the tan looks like a normal indian sun-tan. Now for the more adventurous kinds who wear a bikini to swim, please accept my best wishes. The exposure or the consistency of exposure can be maintained. Try to wear a strapless (a slim piece please, else the uneven tan looks very bad, especially there) or a transparent strap, or a slightly lose halter fit.

Slightly lose transparent strap even tanning and the distance between the strap and the skin allows water to circulate leading to a lighter tan. A halter top with very thin string around the neck gives the shoulders a uniform tan.

So much for tan ....

A Man's Plight!

I always thought that not enough space was dedicated to lingerie in a store. Here is a different and humorous perspective by desitrain.

"Walk into a typical American clothing store. Target. Robinsons May. Macy’s. Nordstrom’s. Costco. Walmart. K-Mart. Whatever store that you would like to go – doesn’t matter. Walk to the men’s section which occupies 0.05% space of the entire store. So you walk through 99.95% of the length of the store, brushing through designer bras, designer panties, designer lingerie, more bras more panties, more multi colored lingerie, more lacy underwear and then you stop and think – How many fucking bra and panties do women change in a single day? "

I suggest read the full post here. Its a laugh riot.

Update: Pavan , Thanks for the link.

The Glow Worm Effect.

I went bowling day before yesterday and this post started brewing since then (please don't question the existence of straps in the story). I really do not understand why they would do it, but they switched on this light that made everyone look like glow worms (remember those cute bedside glowing airmails). And then as i looked around i couldn't help but laugh. All these girls dressed in their summer special white and pastels looked like parle -g orange Candy... transparent wrappers. And their sad lingerie shone through in the light.


All sorts of patterns, ripped seams on the back, leopard print under a white top (i wonder what that girl was thinking when she wore that) everything stood out and screamed. I don't blame those girl. Someone at home should have taught them, but then the knowledge and the need to talk is appalling. So here are some basic rules about matching lingerie (especially now that monsoons are coming and wet clothes mostly are no clothes.



1. White under white and black under black. Please don't mix them and look like desperate-for-attention kind of a woman. You could also use skin/nude colours/ flesh toned innerwear.

2. Please ensure that bra is always in good condition. Many women are of the philosophy of "why waste money when it cannot be seen".

3. Wear the right fit so that the look is a pleasant one.

4. Be confident. Its not a crime for your bra to be seen.

5. When in doubt wear a camisole or short slip.Under very flimsy clothes that look ok under light.

6. And for please Do NOT wear printed lingerie under sheer coloured clothing or whites. ]

I cant recollect more points right now. Will add them as and when i can remember. Please feel free to add your valuable suggestions.

I have no clue who wears them.

I have written about padded bras and cotton pads to hide pebbled nipples, but today as i went digging in a store, i found something funny to push me to write on the topic again. Nipple enhancer. No its not the one used during pregnancy to help pulling out flat nipples. To me it looked like a corn cap or a round band aid. Honestly, am not joking.

I asked the sales lady what it was and she looked at me as though i had asked her whats the eaxct population of Australia. She simply pulled out the box and kept it on the counter. It read something like this
"Nipple enhancer - to make your nipple stand out under tight clothes or bras.

Pulling up my dropped jaw and toning down my mba brains i simply gave the only guy in the store my sweetest smile and asked does anyone actually buy this? To which he smirked and said that's the last piece madam. all sold out.

As i walked out of the store, i wondered if i have become old or is the fashion going wonky but i promptly decided on the former. I for the love of god would never walk into a nightclub looking like a sex-starved-pointed-nipple teenager coz trust me even i blind man would not agree if i said i was cold... yeah its that grotesque.

Anyways, so, maybe the fashion is to look perennially aroused. Good. The mating call could never have been clearer. And no am not old, its just that i don't like the idea of walking around with corn caps over me. :P.

For those few who have been kind and asked where i was... i was home convalescing from a surgery. All well now and am back.
