Day 25 – Bollywood

Today’s inspiration comes from Bollywood beauty Bipasha Basu.

Now, I know your thinking ‘B-poosie whatsie?’ It’s not so much about the actress as it is about the genre.
Bollywood is the term used for Hindi-language films out of Mumbai. Usually containing song and dance numbers.
And they are awesome!

I bought a few metal pieces at a bead store in midtown to recreate Bipasha’s Tikka (traditional Indian head jewelry.)

I glued some red stones on the front piece to give more of an Indian feel. Then I bobby pinned it to the part in my hair.

I slept with my hair wet to ensure maximum curl. Luckily I do have naturally curly hair, so I didn’t have to do anything else to the hair itself.
