Want Ranbir Kapoor to style your hair?

Posted on by

So, I was cleaning my mailbox today. I had to pay heed to the warning sign in the fear of losing incoming mail. And I came across these super pictures. There are always benefits to cleaning. For instance, if you have just spring cleaned, you can write in to me (alicewandering25[at]gmail[dot]com) with details of items you’re planning to toss out and be a part of our upcoming yard sale.

Good summer hair?

Meanwhile, the hot summer has descended upon us. If I know one thing for sure, it’s long locks and summer don’t gel. I was accompanying a friend to the salon and my hairstylist decided to snip the length off my hair. Hence, I am currently sporting a sorta bob with a heavy fringe.

Aalim Hakim and Ranbir Kapoor

While I wish Ranbir Kapoor was the one styling my hair, you may read the news. Turns out Ranbir surprises his friend Aalim Hakim by dropping in at his hair academy and even testing his skill on one of the students.

Love it. Put a badge on!

Posted on by

My affection for badges is no secret. Single badges, regular and button have found their way to my shopping bag every holiday. Badge packs, in plenty sit at my desk. Assortments of badges are gift wrapped for dear ones. It is known, bags will be decorated with badges in my spare time.

It is only natural then that I would be google surfing button badges.

Wouldn’t the Toy Story 3 badges go perfectly with the theme of my bag?

Fashion for all | Shahid Kapoor

At Filmfare, we carry this page titled Instant Copy

Because everyone has a little fun when they see
more than one person wearing the same outfit

What is even more fun for me though
Is to randomly snap my friends, family and people off the street
Wearing an item of clothing previously seen on a celebrity

So, at a Filmfare photo shoot, I was taking behind the scenes photographs.
Shahid Kapoor was talking about his recent trip to Bangkok.
He had picked up funky t-shirts from Bangkok and preferred
To wear them for the shoot because a personal touch
Always adds to the styling. Don’t you agree guys?

Well, a couple of months later, I spotted him wearing one of the t-shirts
To a promotional event for his upcoming film then, Paathshala

Here’s the page from Filmfare.

Instant Copy | Shahid Kapoor

For the behind the scenes video shoot of the Filmfare cover shoot.
(That I recorded and colleague edited :-) )

And after the press screening of Cats & Dogs,
a friend tagged me along to a gig at Firangi Paani.
The band Zedde was performing.

And here’s what we snapped of the lead vocalist and guitarist.

Zedde Live | Firangi Paani

In the Shadows | Zedde

Pretty cool, eh?
Although the t-shirt seems to carry a common graphic print,
I love the feel of it.
Shall locate it online for you guys. xoxo

And, now, time for a fun poll.

Hey, if you liked the post, leave your response in the comments section.
Or write in to me at alicewandering25@gmail.com
Signing off now. Keep it fun and filmy. Keep it stylish. Mwah.

Pack of cards | Alice

Posted on by

Postcards from Oxford

Alice wandered to Alice’s shop
And found a pack of cards
She built a card castle of relationships
She played with Kings and Queens of her kingdom

You're nothing but a pack of cards!

The cheshire cat taught her how to grin
The madhatter tricked her into almost accepting defeat
The red queen wanted to be ‘off with her head’
But it was the white queen she had most fun playing with

And she asked all those living in her kingdom
Would they bow to the queen of hearts?
Or fight the ace of Spades?

These are the answers she received.

She even asked her friends on the BlackBerry Messenger
They were quick to responded
She tabulated their answers as below

Her best friend akin to the rabbit confessed
While playing the game of hearts, the black queen
Had brought upon many a nightmares

The gore of the Ace of Spades hadn’t escaped Alice either

Ace of Spades | Scare

On reading more, she found
The ace of spades was also referred to as the ‘death card’
It was all a dream
She thought to herself

Alice | Dreams | Nightmares

And was off to sleep again…

The green hand pump | Representative of Peepli Live

Peepli Live, backed by Aamir Khan, in trademark style, deals with another sensitive issue in a comical way. That of farmer suicides.
Although there are no recognizable star faces, the new actors do a great job in their roles. The short length of the film is just right.
A film right in sync with the wavelength of multiplex audiences should attract single screen goers thanks to its persuasive marketing campaign.
I’d say it’s a 3*** film, that may be a hit, given the budget and production house.

(UFO Moviez wanted an SMS review from dad and of course, when he has an in-house reviewer, he turned to me. I’m not one to disappoint daddy dearest and the SMS review is on its way to the UFO Moviez magazine.)

That got me thinking. What if there was an SRS – short review service?
An update on the latest release’s review, especially for mobile, via several media.

Natha: “Natha card ka kya hua?”
Budhia: “BPL card nahi hai garibo ke liye?”

Well, now what can I say?
I’m a BPL mobile user and these lines are from the film.

Please take the polls.

Thank you for your time.
