Why I heart Shilpa Shetty..

Yes Im straight oh ye of too much internet porn. Yes you read the title right. I heart Shilpa Shetty for what she's doing. Not that I for one minute believe that she understands just what a big catalyst she is. I figure her "people" explain it to her thus:

Shilpa's "people"- " Shilpa dahling you look divine"
Shilpa- " ha ha ( giggle, flutter big fake lashes, slap said people in seriously pansy girly way) thanks ya"
Shilpa's "people"- " Dahling, you have contributed immeasurably to change the image of Indians in the UK. They have been forced to reevaluate their little stereotype of every Indian being a cross between Peter Sellers as Hrundi. V. Bakshi and Hank Azaria as Apu in The Simpsons. The whiteys can't see us as green card, citizenship chasing brown skins that call bird food num nums anymore. Brava Shilpa. brava"
Shilpa- " what ya?....you don't like my dress?"
Shilpa's "people"- "Sigh....Shilpa dahling you look divine."

It's easy to knock her down for having greatness thrust upon her and perhaps for not really deserving the attention she's getting. It's much harder to admit that she's done more in a few months than most of us could have in our life times.

As a public service announcement to any Non- Indian that might be reading this (haha how i flatter myself):-

- No we do not want to marry you for your citizenship. Look around..us Indian girls are bright, fabulous looking, well educated, high profile jobs, have servants, drivers and cooks. We're cossetted and spoilt and treated like the Princesses we are. What in your little pea brain makes you think I'd want to give that up and clean your house, not get a job because your country doesn't recognize my degree , give up driver/cook/maid/maali all for the ability to buy Jimmy Choo's? Hahahahaha......good one!
P.S. Jimmy Choo and his papa are coming to India anyway.

On completely unrelated tangent ...ok somewhat related, they share the same initials...
I HATE Suhel Seth. You know that dude who runs some Ad Agency and is an obnoxious talking head on most news channels? Tiny mofo with seriously humungously painful personality. Have never met him but did attend a panel discussion he chaired for the CII ( boss made me go). Throughout he just kept trying to put everyone else down and prop himself up! wanted to go bop him on the head and say "Shut up!Shut UP! SHUT UP! No one wants to hear your voice pompous ass!"
