Sari Envy
April 2nd, 2012 at 4:29 am (Uncategorized)
Once again, I’m in the land of saris, and a river of the gorgeous garments parades past my seat int the terminal. I haven’t seen this many sequins and make up outside of Vegas. Big, small, plump, thin, old, young – doesn’t matter, these sari-bearers pull off this look in a way a drag queen pulls off thigh high, 5 inch platform boots. How do they make it look so effortless and elegant? Draped in soft pastels, or deep saturated gem hues, some hemmed in brocade, others in simple print, and yet others of an iridescent hue reminiscent of a dragonfly wing. There are polka dots, stripes, florals, solids. I am trying to keep from staring – they just rivet my attention.
Well, boarding now. On to Kolkata. Woo-and-hoo.
