Growing hips
It takes a lot to make a jaded old blogger speechless, but that's just what happened to me when I read this article. In particular, this quote by Minissha Lamba:
First Wild and Wetty, and now this. Is HTTabloid playing some elaborate joke on us all? Or are they really like this only?
Update (May 16): Young Shilpa informs me that HT has removed this piece. Indeed, I note that they also removed the Wild and Wetty piece (before doing so, they'd apparently changed the headline to "Wild and Witty"). Such is the power of India Uncut?
On a more serious note, newspapers really should take their websites more seriously, and hire good editors and writers for them. They have a mid-90s attitude to what, in 2006, is very serious business. Their loss.
Update 2 (May 16): Reader Sonny Gill informs me that the page is still available here, and cached here.
I am surely obsessed with my growing hips. I want them to grow much bigger than they are. And that's the reason I love doing all those things, which will make my hip bigger and bigger. I feel there is nothing wrong in having bigger hips.What she means by "all those things" is, sadly, not specified. The rest of the piece rocks as well.
