Are those Indian Mouseketeers or the Corny Collins dancers from the Bollywood version of Hairspray? ("And I am Link.")

Because NYE without massive quantities of bacon is pure heresy.

Actually it's New Years Day when the bacon is traditionally consumed

A friend of mine just shared the following link (in case anyone's looking for dupioni silk): http://silkbaron.com/silk/index.html

dupioni for $10.50/yd... I assume that's a decent price (haven't seriously shopped it)

Mickey Mouse wears Indian clothes, jigs to Bollywood numbers

Walt Disney characters Mickey and Minnie Mouse along with their friends Donald Duck, Goofy and pet dog Pluto enthralled their fans here Tuesday when they staged a live performance wearing traditional Indian attire and danced to Bollywood numbers. The fans experienced Disney magic. The place was filled with music, laughter, colour and excitement when all the characters boogied to popular Bollywood songs.

I really wish there were some photos with that article. I want to see the outfits!

Ha! As soon as I tried on a shiny, beaded masterpiece in Little India, I absolutely had to have it, even though it was out of my supposed price range.

Heh - it just means you'll have to find reason to wear it again

Yeah, we kinda did the same thing.

I still laugh at myself that we found a really cool outfit for Susan that was really inexpensive (not the one she wore to the party: another one) and then I insisted on getting the matching Pashmina that cost four times as much as the outfit.

Anyone catch the Indian dancers on Superstars of Dance? I thought they were fantastic (and the show actually proved to be super-interesting to both J and I).
