Juhi is so pretty ...

[scottishlass]

I really need ot watch more of Juhi Chawla's movies. She is still so pretty and expressive. I loved her in Paheli even though she had only a few scenes.

As for my life ... it sucks ... I have a middle ear infection and bingo I'm on antibiotics and on leave till Monday included. So event though I have time off from work I have these really awful ear aches :s I hate being sick.

Juhi looked amazing in Paheli. I thought that she stole the scene from Rani when they were together.

Oh absolutely :) She was beautiful and serene.

I am hoping you are doing better ....

I need your advice. Mara wants to dress up as a hindu girl for Fasching (this friday) tips you could give me? I dont have a Sari but I thought I could find something similar .... makeup? Jewelry? The basics?

Thank you!!!! I was thinking of painting her the (whats the name?) red dot on her forehead as well ... would that be appropiate??

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

It is called a bindi. I have just looked into my stash of Indian things and I found a few things that will not be ready for Fasching but Mara can have them nonetheless.
What is her favourite colour?

Well you know she becasme hooked in Bollywood movies with her mommy (LOL)

She loves all colours, spcially pink and green and purple, but she looks great in any bright colour, given her darker skin and raven-black hair.

THANK YOU!!!

I shall make pics (hoping to get it right) and send you them ...

Huggles and love,
Elf

What size does she wear? 116?

[elfnut.livejournal.com]

Oh, I htink then a normal adult saree is in order. I will have a look at the shops here. I think I have seen the right saree last week in a shop here. You'll either have to shorten it (just take a piece out in the middle) ... and I have found some bangles and stuff in my Bagvad Nidjam stash (my former saree is a no go as it is in shreds but I have found a complete tikka/earpiece/necklace set in fake gold and my old bangles) Oh and glue on bindis :)

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee .... Thank you!!!

Anyway, I'll go hunting for stuff for Fasching here and send you the pics, hoping not to mess it up too badly ...

Oh this is fun :)
Okay, instead of a saree, try to find either a very long very colourful shawl to wrap around her hips and then secure it once over her shoulder or a very colourful skirt.
If you find some fabric in orange or pink and then just paint on some ornaments on the hem with silver or gold that would do as well. She'll need a similarly coloured top (best belly free).
As for the jewelry. Bangles, lots of bangles. You could do them in FIMO and just paint them in red, green and gold.
As for the tika and the earrings - use something dangly for the earrings, and for the tika (the center jewellery on the forehead) use a trinket or something with a fake pearl or little semi-precious stone (best with the chain attached or a piece of yarn) and secure it with hair pins at the top of her head.
For the hair, use a *Haarreifen* and slick back the hair from her forehead and put it into a bun (you could use babyoil for the slicking). If you have an old Haarreifen, then glue fake (or real) white or yellow (marrigolds) flowers onto it and you can secure the tika-yarn at that as well.
If she wants to go as a little Indian girl again, I can send over some stuff for her - like jewellery (tika, earpieces etc.)
As for make up ... lots of kajal around the eyes and a red bindi between the eyebrows. A bit of red on the lips and she is ready to go :)
