Stage Lines

The theme is the 60’s, but the people are in the 21^st century.

How does it matter?

Radhika had worn a pink polka dot saree – which rightly fit in the 60’s as it was the era when Mumtaz, Sharmila Tagore and Sadhana would drape themselves in polka dots, doll themselves up with extended eyelines, into a delicate curl and bouffant.

No Radhika didn’t go to the extent of the bouffant, as its difficult to maintain in a party, where, one feels like dancing to the songs, but she did the rest.

Polished her nails pink, wore long silver dangly earrings; and a white, pointed trout covered high heel; the same one, anyone would be used to be seeing in a Mumtaz’s films with Rajesh Khanna, and the bag was her own style, a while crushed Jean Paul Gautier.

Of course she wore a big pink bindi, with crystals adorning the edge.

The bangle was broad silver, old –fashioned Amrapali.

Her lipstick was pink too, soft and sensous. Eye shadow, pink and white. And the rest...

Rest was the people, in their own 60’s attire, the whole atmosphere, a scene out of any bollywood 60’s film.

That’s fashion. 60’s style.
