Cannes glamour

Cannes 2010 is full-on red carpet glamour.....all the beautiful people have gathered there to chat, watch a few movies, mingle, drink some bubbly....how Mulain wishes he was there to soak it all up. Of course I would n't desert the MUs in the middle of their 8 week pro course....! Duty first my friends...so am watching it all from the television, computer and our newspapers. Mrs. Bachchan is certainly upping her PR machine at the moment....schmoozing with Scorsese et al...flashing that dazzling smile.....sporting different red carpet, glamour looks every day.

In class today we were looking at current trends, pops of colour, flawless glowing skin, statement lips.... we then added this to creating a red carpet glamour look, great fun in class....everyone glammed up with nowhere to go! Mulain again was reminded just how he loo-ves MAC pigments....just wow on the eyes....especially Bluebrown...on it's own or over black it just adds star value and instant glamour. Not sure it's available in Mumbai...will 'ave to check that with you my darlings....Antique Gold is also a sure winner.....

So next time you need a touch of glam (personally or professionally) get your pigments out and play around. Subtle as a wash or intense drama that's longlasting...it's your choice.

Another hot night in town ...Oeuuf! Another cold shower....nighty night Mulain x

Ok...Mulain was asked his take about the Filmfare red carpet looks. Well..... went a-cruisin' on Santabanta to get a good look at the film frat out in force....my goodness everyone was there non? What struck me was the amount of gowns on display, was this Hollywood or Bollywood I asked myself....then I spotted Vidya and Kajol in Indian attire and realised it was the Filmfare 2010 awards.....it was, what Mulain calls a night of 'global glamour'.....most of these ladies (like all the femmes fatales at the Oscars) went for sophisticated, classic, safe glamour. They could have been in Cannes, Toronto, Hollywood.....this is the new India it seems....Genelia looked super cute and fresh, Shahana G looked sexy and cool, Sameera looked stunning in that blue and some dressed in jeans and a t-shirt!

Mulain loves to see the person shining through...with make-up and hair, clothes, jewels....Vidya and Kajol did this Mulain feels and a few others with bright, poppy styles. So generic global glamour is all around us my dears.....what do we think about this....good or bad? Are we losing our identity, merging into a West / East fusion look?

Mulain is going to sleep on that one....we are all heading to a shoot tomorrow so off for my beauty winks...

"Yes it's Ladies night and the feeling's right, oh yes it's ladies night...oh what a night!"...thank you Mr.Kool and the Gang for giving us such great lyrics.....well it's certainly been a ladies day....March 8th...International Women's Day.....the fat mu team spent the day with girls from the Sharanam Centre for Girls in Bombay www.sharanamcentre.org making them up for their dance performances at their celebrations today....great day out and thanks to all our freelancers and team who supported us. Bravo! And Bravo to Katherine Bigelow who won Best Director at the Oscars yesterday....truly a ladies day and night.

Mulain carefully scrutinized the red carpet and really found nearly everyone went for safe, generic, classic glamour...lots of long gowns....strapless chic...bits of Avatar Blue around.....(are we all getting a bit dull?)....a few statement mouths, thank you Sandra Bullock....and arty hair, thank you Patricia Fields. 80s teen star Molly Ringwald looked tres cool and different doing her own thing and young Carey Mulligan holding the torch for those with short hair amongst us....everyone else....sort of blended into the same...maybe it's just me but where was Cher in a fantastic cabaret number, where was Bjork dressed as a swan, Diane Keaton dressed in a tux? Imagination, individual flair? .....Would love to know what you all think my darlings....?

Caio for now...
