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. 


















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?

 I feel like is been so forever! My things that i wanted to upload on here all got deleted from my laptop and so that was a bummer. Then i got super lazy and did nothing and made out that life was horrible and had my ups and downs and thought about things, went through therapy with my mind AND finally conclude that am just A OKAY. So i did a few awesome things and just let loose. I start thinking about what i want to do, who i want to be. All in a nut shell i was being the thinker that i am. (if that makes any sense) My life now is surrounded by film and TV and also fashion. Am doing a lot of videos for people with a team finally, i have my own team. And am also interning for an amazing stylist who worked with the cast of Made in Chelsea, to xfactor finalist and well known music videos. So after yesterday my first take on the proper job (after just listening and doing small things in shoots and stuff) i broke down and said i hate the whole fashion world, it was so super hard going to PR offices and getting clothes and so many other things, plus being lost in the middle of nowhere and my phone dying! I said that was it, but when the day finished and i came back to the office and saw how everyone was so worried, i gave in again. Now everyone knows i hate that side and maybe should just stick to shoots and casting. I also met awesome people along the waY.  I have small dreams that i want to showcase BIG. And am glad i finally found a great circle of people that i can shout, slap and then laugh with. This is kind of long so I'll stop. To end this i just want to say I'll be back posting more things, documenting my journey in fashion and do and show some videos. Am also doing some hair! which is so strange but i found out that am really good at it and people came and asked me, so now am letting my good fellow friends Chels and Marie be my dolls to train on. Am just right! Ta Ta
