Mindy's Bindi

I do not know why i named it that. But can we talk about Binds? So this post is a bit late but can we just talk about how they make someone look quite...different? We like 'different' here. But i think they just change a person's persona right away; as we connote binds to the Asian culture or lets say the Indian culture to narrow it down. But walking around London and in shoots, i see different cultures and races wearing binds and it bloody looks awesome!  Is been quite dated since people have started wearing them but i thought i should just let you know. Remember in the 90s when Gwen wore it? I think is coming back again with Gomez making it a hit on her new influenced song 'Come and Get It'. But there has been some issues about how it could be seen offensive to the Indian culture as some people even want Selena to say sorry for wearing it at the MTV show. With that in mind i think people are wearing it to show how beautiful it is not to make it seem offensive. I think people are getting to be diverse and acknowledging other people's belief and cultures. But i think is just wonderful, so here are some ways i found celebrities and people have been wearing it in tumblr! (since i can't get a camera out and take pictures of them in the street)  And can i just add how much i do love it on a Indian woman with their full cultural dress as well.

hi petals



Ps, i love Aishwarya Rai, Prettysickly, Nyane Lebajoa!
I really want to know if people find it offensive and why? Growing up with Indian people and culture i see it as a beautiful thing and also wore it because my friends mom would dress me up and put it on me when going to Indian parties...so i don't know. Am not Indian but i was not turned down as a child. Is it wrong or should we embrace it?
