Bozoical Cosmetics....

This possibly might be the precursor to what might eventually be the Bozo India Fashion Week, but Bozo, Mumbai's only blogging dog has now started modelling exclusively for Magiceye.

Most folks get treats after they model. And Bozo has been promised some stuff too.

But really, he is not a run of the mill model, and it might be worthwhile to see what goes on in his mind, as he gives his statesman like poses while Magiceye clicks.

I mean
John Abraham,
runs shirtless and talks
about
creams that whiten...
And Katrina Kaif
walks around emanating
molecules of
Yardley of London,
not to mention
ShahRukh Khan
brushing teeth.

To tell the truth,
I was approached,
by  the "Oh My Dog !" Brand folks
to be
the Show stopper for India,
to display
Kiwi Shamppos,
Jojoba Shampoos
and Plum-Vanilla Fragrance Wipes
and advertise
Ear Cleaning and Eyebrow Trimming
Dog Spa treatments.

I simply raised my
naturally impressive eyebrows
and
had to politely decline.

I am still
the show stopper and show starter
for the family,
even though
I smell of the garden earth,
sprinklers
and normal bath shampoo,
with decent scrubbing,
occasional smells
of dosa
Upma,
and Pohe thrown in.

I mean
why would Magiceye ask me
otherwise
to model for him ?

Maybe they are coming out
with Idli flavor shampoo ?

Yum!

Shady messages....

As my friend Magiceye says , where he posted this picture, in the Saturday Photohunt Reflect and Humor series",  maybe it is time to "Reflect under a Bus stop shade to Humour the advertisers."

The topic of "fairness" (in complexion) , being the biggest  rip-off  and piece of wool being pulled by advertisers , over the eyes of the general public.  Causing thousands of young women to rush and slather their skins with unnecessary chemicals, in a desperate attempt to maintain suspect societal standards dictated by cosmetic companies, and simply generate a Melanin War....

In this disappointing state of affairs, one can only appreciate the humor in the placement of the photographers name (as if it's a quote from him :-)    ) on the said billboard !

Rejoice!

For some of us
who are born with
"deep skin damage....."

Naturally tanned,
and proud of it,
we wear uniforms to match
as we wait
with the bus conductors
and  duty drivers
amidst shiny chrome stands
and white untannable billboards
in front of the
Pink Baskin Robbins
and Blackberry written in white.


Like in life,
with the Sun,
you take some, you give some.

And when it becomes
too hot,
you rest
under wonderful
old leafy mother trees,
adamantly maintaining
their place
amidst the
ravages of money
time ,commerce
and, style.

Just surprised
that
at the end of the day
after spouting knowledge
next to "beautiful" white faces,
the
Lakme Sun expert lady
should actually
hog the same space...
