Glam-filmy boosters for online shopping

Bollywood faces up their fashion ante with e-commerce ventures

CONFESSION TIME: Every time my email box has a promotional message of an online sale, my weakness surges and my wallet gives way. And so, I've exhausted my download quota of 3G speed and bought and also enjoyed numerous goodies. (PS: I've also returned few dull and wrong-size outfits too).

BOLLYWOOD FACES: Charming actors have now boosted the authentic labelling of e-commerce ventures. Well, I do wonder if they've ever bought anything from those sites themselves. But their connect works. (with me surely).
Here's my pick of best filmy name associations.

YOUNG GUN: Alia Bhatt for Jabong
Neha Dhupia picks the best combinations for Limeroad 
Reigning Bollywood Queen Kangna Ranaut makes it chirpy and colourful for Myntra
Bipasha Basu (The Trunk) and Malaika Arora Khan has The Label association with Amazon
This was a surprise. Shah Rukh Khan for Yepme

When Mr Choosy Aamir Khan links his name to Snapdeal, you gotta check it out!



GIRL WITH THE BLUE SCARF says: The e-commerce shopping ventures have raked in big orders, thanks to trending Bollywood names. A birdie inside my head does tweet in wonder if the Bollywood biggies themselves ever log in to the e-commerce websites for a garment on sale. Good news is the heightened sense of authenticity the filmy association brings along to regular consumers like me.  What do you say...

I like shopping online. At times, it gets way cheaper than shop sales.

The 'casting couch' is serious trouble for male models in India The Casting Couch is a reality. Not just for female models but also the males in India’s buzzing fashion industry. In a quest to make it big, acquire fame, money and a high-profile lifestyle, many male models face the rude reality of ‘talent hunts’ under the guise of ramp show auditions. While many such auditions are genuine, others are ‘indecent proposals’ or a fast dial way to make it on the ramp for big designers and then to the silver screen. Incidentally, under the scanner of late is model Sid Gupta (name changed) , assistant director in a recent Shah Rukh Khan film, who was given a shot on the ramp to open and close the KJo-Varun Bahl’s menswear show in Delhi and the India Couture Week in Mumbai. Fashion circles in both cities are abuzz with rumours about he being a toyboy for his godfather. Not just him, in the recent past model Inder Bajwa and then Lalit Trehan were rumoured to have been the boyfriends of d...

'What nudity? It's a free expression of art'

Choreographer and IPL fashion show coordinator Prasad Bidappa defends his expression of art — a calender of nude men, which leaked out in the public recently Prasad Bidappa was a hassled man recently as he prepared for the Indian Premier League 2011 show in Mumbai. Reason being: His hobby of exotic photography was costing him his reputation and ruining his sleep. Some of the pictures he had shot of nude males, which were sent to an exclusive friend list on email were mysteriously leaked out to in the public eye. Apart from hushed talks amongst the modelling circuit who are participating in Bidappa's own IPL fashion shows, a fashion blogsite too posted this incident as a scandal.

So, last year, Bidappa shot pictures of nude males in different sexual positions and compiled it for a select invitee list of friends. It was done wi...
