Happy (belated) Holi, tout le monde! Yesterday marked the day of Holi, the festival of colors celebrated mostly by Hindus and Sikhs. I'm kind of unsure as to the exact history behind Holi (I wikipedia-ed it, and it seems a little complicated), but basically, people who participate in Holi throw colored powder at each other to mark the beginning of spring. Here are some of my photos from the Holi celebration at UT.
The colors at Holi remind me of runway make-up for this season and in history:
Metallic body paint: maybe the most daring trend of all time?
Shirley Eaton in Goldfinger, 1964
Dior 2010
My hair/scalp kind of looked like this (except green!) just after Holi
Chanel 2010
Gaspard Yurkievich 2010
That's all for now, bébés. This week, look out for posts on my trip to Vegas and the recent Wilhelmina-Brown launch party in Austin.
Great Holi pics, Colleen!!! You got some better ones than I did, but then again, I was more focused on throwing rang at my friends! I wish I had seen you!
ReplyDeleteAnd also, Holi was at the beginning of March, but someone told me they always do it during the weekend of round-up at UT :/
