i bought this teal silk sari at goodwill today for $1.32. it feels so pretty on. i looked up a tutorial on how to wrap and tuck it correctly, i think i got it mostly right (click through for more pics). it feels very graceful to wear. except i need a real petticoat to wear under it.

i still have a sheet of bindis that my poetry teacher brought me from india in like 1996. they are labeled bombay instead of mumbai. anyway, i might go find some pretty jewelry and use this as my halloween costume. and also my watching-bollywood costume.
