Men wearing Polka Dots is very rare unless its on a necktie or jackets[yes jackets]. I did get pictures of Rishi Kapoor & Akshay Kumar in awful looking polka dotted shirts but I guess they were wearing it for their films. Hrithik Roshan though looks hauuute here:-).

Polka dots are fun and versatile. Most people like them but if you are afraid of polka dots, then you are suffering from trypophobia which technically is a fear of holes:-).

When I was small a north-indian neighbour got me a red&white polka dotted salwar suit from her hometown. It was my first salwar suit and prized possession for many years. That’s the 1st thought which comes to mind:-).
ReplyDeleteOther than that I remember this famous song “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini” I had on one of my favourite English tapes;-D
Dr. Green - Dhulai ki tikiya! That's the first thought that comes to my mind.

ReplyDeleteRakesh: LOL really;-D.....but why on earth, I mean whts the connection?????
ReplyDeleteAn Open Book: Oh yes I saw them when I googled for the pictures....but decided against posting them;-D

ReplyDeleteto your prev question: gave a couple of kacheris albeit as an accompanying artiste to my more accomplished sister (never gave solo ones)...didnt learn as much to do so...
First of all...so sorry I missed some questions.
ReplyDeletePolka Dots...hmmm...when I was 8 years old or so, I used to go for "Modern" Dancing classes - black leotard and black ballerina shoes - we had to do a show for a song called "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" - Oh! The shame! And my folks made us dance it for Onam celebrations as well! But we wore skirts on top of the leotards for the sake of "decency :D We have that dance on video :O
Must hunt that song down on Youtube - thanks for the memory jog!
Lol!Well, I can see that you can still manage to bring a smile to my face - no matter what you put out here! ;)
ReplyDeleteHow have you been, dear? And thank you so much for making your presence felt :))
As for polka dots, never thought or will think of them as fashion. Don't know why! The only memory I have is being in a boring eco class in college and me counting the polka dots off one of my classmates salwar kameez. OMG!!! The whole salwar kameez! What was she thinking! ;p
Uma: Oh yes...that top is famous;-D.
ReplyDeleteI've been to a few Kacheri's and found them very interesting:-).
Jane: LOL...esp the leotard show for Onam...really funny;-D.
I had tht song on tape & loved listening to it and also clearly remember the next song which was "I'm too sexy";-D. Gosh...memories:-))!!!!!
Sparkling: AHA look who's here..... good to see U:-))!!!!

ReplyDeleteAlas polka dots mean little to me - not being sartorially fascinated. But can make the following learned comments
ReplyDelete- Cheryl Cole looks lovely
- Paris Hilton looks ugh
- Victoria Beckham looks awful
- Kareena Kapoor looks nice
- Suri Tom Cruise is gorgeous -
- Madhuri Dixit could lose some weight !
- Drew Barrymore should not be photographed like this
