So You Think You Can Dance?
K-School Hip Hop Crew
Remember I told you I started taking a Lyrical Hip-Hop dance class with Manik Bhatheja (who’s an awesome teacher btw) at Kaytee Namgyal’s K-School of Performing Arts? Well they’re starting a new batch of dance classes this week and I urge you to try it cos its SO fun! (Tarana is gonna kill me for this but we have our first choreographed “performance” at Zenzi Mills on Wednesday night to “Mad” by Ne-Yo if you wanna come see what its all about!) Here’s a run down of all the classes starting in September. Step up! Read more…
Mumbai Glitterati is now gearing up for Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive ‘10 at the Grand Hyatt from September 17th-22nd. After announcing the 74 designers participating this time at a press conference earlier in the week, Lakme and IMG hosted a party at Olive, Mahalaxmi on Thursday to celebrate 11 years of fashion where all the pretty people turned up (I especially loved Sabina Chopra’s funky fitted abstract-print dress!) and Narendra Kumar Ahmed gave me the scoop on his Killer Nari line of denims. (I even got to break out 
This is a super week for gigs; I’ve no idea when I’m going to get any rest! Bangalore folk-rock band Swarathma play Hard Rock Cafe. They’re collaborating with Old Man River, a one-man act visiting from Australia and putting a new spin on popular tracks like Ee Bhoomi and Bolo Hai Kya. With colourful costumes, a ghodi and plenty of stories, Swarathma is always entertaining.
You gotta love the whole Indie music vibe that’s picking up big time in Mumbai. (Especially when some of the city’s most fashionable glitterati deck up for the do!) Ashutosh Phatak launched his new dance album, Petri Dish along with Arjun Vagale + Ash Roy (Jalebee Cartel) at Blue Frog on Friday. Apart from the sound and light extravaganza it was nearly impossible to tear your eyes away from some of his guest star hotties on stage including Anushka Manchanda (in funky crimped hair) from Shkabang, Monica Dogra from Shaa’ir + Func, Suman Sridhar from Sridhar/Thayil, Ashima Aiyer, Saba Azad (sporting fairytale fashion) and Vasudha Sharma (from the band Aasma). Take a cue kids, this is what we call “concert chic”!
OMG girls I have GREAT news! If you’re anything like me you probably get super excited about the idea of shopping but end up extremely frustrated whenever you looking for denims because you have to try on like 50 pairs to find even one that fits you well. Which is why I was extremely impressed when my fit-expert Tusharika Rao took two-and-a-half seconds to hand me a pair of jeans to try on. I did and they fit perfectly! (See?!) So now I’m psyched. I know I’m a 25 Demi, and I kinda like the slim boot cut. So I plan to walk into the Levi’s store on Linking Road next weekend and shop up a storm since I already know what shape I am :)
