wardrobe malfunction

sadhuji · Apr 3rd, 2006, 20:24

Wardrobe malfunction is one more addition to the dictionary of euphemisms. It took off in the world of the Yankees and, like so many other things that have gradually infiltrated into our cultural setup, has invaded our tinsel town and has left an indelible mark on the world of Indian fashion. Our designers do not harbor intentions of aping the West and would rather have the West enamored by Indian fashion. They do not need cheap gimmicks to generate publicity. Like their counterparts of the West, they laugh off these irritants and request that the focus of showcasing the large variety of Indian fashion to foreigners not be lost sight of. If the designs are impressive enough, they will translate into business proposals and, in turn, earn foreign exchange.

It is said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder – when the gown slips to reveal good looking shoulders, no one cribs about it. Therefore, when the halter slips to dangerously low levels, it is not fair to blame the one who stands exposed – she is, after all, following someone’s directions and if someone else has erred down the line, why take it out on the poor kid. The girl must have died a thousand deaths that very instant. As to the second incident of the zip fastener that failed to keep the dress fastened, it is all attributable to the poor standards of quality that are maintained. No matter how hard we may try, our basic instinct to cut corners and notch up profits at the expense of the consumer remains intact. We are firm believers in the philosophy that nothing can be hundred percent correct or accurate of functional. We love to adulterate, we love to use sub standard material to churn out so-called world class items and, when they get rejected in the final stages, we unpack them and arrange for discount sale of ‘products meant for export’. It would not surprise us to learn that zip fasteners that cannot be trusted to keep delicate figures zipped up also belong to such a category.

In this connection, may I recollect a similar incident – when the zip of my pant gave way? All I could do was to pull out my shirt that was tucked in and make a dash for my home. Fortunately, I stayed in the company quarters and it was a few minutes by scooter. Therefore folks, do not make a mountain of a mole hill – such slips at fashion shows can occur and are not to be taken seriously. Yes, if these continue to become repetitive in nature, it will be the wake up call to look under the carpets.

Yesterday I was watching "Chokher Baali" Bengali film. Ash was wearing a silk saree which kept on slipping down.... Rituporno made full use of this malfunction.
About the fly:
On annual day dinner of our company some one always get up to deliver an after dinner speech begining by saying that he is going to make it short & then go on & on. What I often do is that I send a slip to him saying that his fly is unzipped.... that works 100%
