Heh heh....just thought i wud take Prachi's suggestion and desperately seek attention by splashing a title that seems to hint at YET another criticism of Mona's dressing sense!( Now i just hope it works and i get plenty of replies to my post!)đ
far be it from me to do such a thing! i m a tree-huggie too and anyway, this post is about more than just mona's way of dressing. It is my answer to all those people who ve been saying Mona is FAT (they can't spell-it's PHAT not fat), wears ugly skirts and what not....no offence meant, just expressing something i feel strongly about. read on--
According to me, there are 4 broad categories of dressers--
There are the FASHIONABLE DRESSERS who folllow the latest trends closely, are brand-conscious, buy the best clothes and usually look good. Your average college student wud be a gud example.
Then there are the FASHION VICTIMS who, in a desperate attempt to look hot, blindly buy whatever is in fashion, never mind whether it suits them or not, and team disparate items to look like a style disaster (tube tops with choodas, for instance!)đ¤˘
We also have STYLE ICONS who make their own personal statement, never mind fashion. Their wardrobe consists of a few classy items that they coordinate to create their own distinctive look. Rakshanda, for example...
Then, finally, there are the NAIVE DRESSERS-people who dress to please themselves. they are not hungry for attention. They buy what is trendy ONLY if it appeals to them personally. Sometimes they may look mismatched, or underdressed, but they rarely look really bad coz they are comfortable in whatever they are wearing.
Mona belongs to the fourth category. OK, her patchwork skirts may not be page 3 material, but what the heck, she loves them! At least she isn't wearing revealing clothes to show that she is hot! I agree with the person who said that she was the most decently dressed at the Sony bash.
The point is, mona dressses like the girl-next-door and THAT is what constitutes her charm. She is REAL, not a Cosmetically Concocted Creation(CCC) unlike most celebs! She wears the kind of clothes i wud-and i am just a reasonably fashionable dressser living in a moderately style-conscious town.
Honestly, NOBS(CC) is doing a great job. And i understand that all of us are interested in celeb lifestyles coz they have aspirational value--they are where most of us wud want to be, they have waht we want to have. So there is nothing wrong in noting the clothes of celebs and taking style tips from them--or giving them some!
But when we start dissecting each and every aspect of someone's dress sense we forget that there is a PERSON behind the public face who is far more important than the clothes he or she wears. To me, Mona is beautiful, because she is a real-life portrayal of the Jassi we all once loved. She is simple, down-to-earth, unaffected by the mindblowing fame and adulation that has come her way. Has anyone noticed her enthusiasm, her vivacity when hosting the Miss India contest or the Abhijeet Sawant show? Or how warm and unaffected she is in her interviews? Didn't Rajan Shahi (the director who s now quit JJKN) say that Mona is very humble, that she is more concerned about her scene than her looks, that she shot for 18 hours without complaining? How many CCCs wud do that? Have u seen the plastic smiles of most show hosts or the Balaji heroines wearing 4 layers of pancake and yet sleepwalking thru their roles? They all LOOK gorgeous but there is no depth behind that polished exterior. A diamond in the raw is still a diamond; if u polish it, its beauty becmoes visible, thats all.
One can cut and polish glass to shine like a diamond, but that does not mean it IS a diamond. It is just glass.
What i m trying to say is, the cosmetic industry can make ANYONE LOOK GOOD. All u need is a plethora of expensive beauty products, personal stylists and a few friends in the media who will project ur best face to the world.
Now im sure that Mona can well afford to do all this-she s one of the highest paid actors in tellywood, she has done commercials AND signed a film. But she doesn't. Why? because it doesn't matter in her scheme of things. She knows that there is a HUGE difference between mere looks and real beauty. She possesses the latter in abundance so why shud she bother about the former? leave that to the CCCs.
Mona is beautiful inside and outside....coz she is NATURAL, TRUE and REAL! Go Mona!đđđ
