You'll Help Me w/ My Online Dating Profile, Right? Pt. 3: The Profile Redux!

Hoo doggy.

Lemme tell you, it's a little overwhelming to wake up at 10:00 to a mailbox FULL of comments with readers' opinions on how to tweak a profile.

You guys didn't hold back and gave it to me straight. And for that, thank you!

Revision 1: The Part About Drinking

Also, apparently you guys think I'm a raging alchy. Huh. Which is fine, I guess. Just because I'm 25 and out of college doesn't mean I'm dead. However, I think that I mention booze a lot because:

1. It's easy to make self-deprecating jokes about getting hammered and
   
2. I've found that girls that like to drink are the ones who don't take themselves too seriously and are more outgoing. Maybe I'm full of shit?
   

But I toned it down! See below.

Revision 2: The F*cking Part About Offensive Swearing

That was just a miscommunication on my part as the blogger. I know better than to swear like a sailor when trying to put my best foot forward with the fairer sex. I do it on my blog a fair bit, but not on a public profile! The swearing that some of the confused readers read was just my personal commentary to YOU guys, not what I actually put on the profile. I made the changes on that post for clarity.

Revision 3: The Tagline

Thanks to those of you who shared my pain with me on this section. It's ridiculous how hard it is to think of something good. Most of you didn't like what I had before (although SOME did), so here is what I settled on:

"Finding the perfect girl is like finding the Indian with the shooting star on Tootsie Pop wrappers"

Revision 4: The Height Thing

A funny and interesting dynamic between male readers and female readers was exposed in this area. Most females told me to be straight up and honest (not even an inch!): I need to say 5'3".

The guys (all 3 of you) said that it was more beneficial for me to say 5'4"... giving me that crucial inch to bring the ladies a-runnin'.

I'll let you guys ponder about the reasons why that is...

I put 5'3". I didn't want to, but the people have spoken!

Revision 5: The Final Product

Alright here it is. I tried to take a little bit from everyone's comments to create the ultimate profile. Think of me as the Green Ranger busting out my badass flute and with everyone's help we put the final piece on the Online Dating Megazord.

Check it out and let me know what you think:

Hot Spots: I've developed an obsession with eating out at restaurants in Los Feliz. I haven't lived in Burbank very long, so I'm at a loss for "hot spots". As far as traveling outside of the US, I'd love to do it eventually it's just these pesky college loans

Religion: Atheist. Very respectful of others' beliefs as long as they aren't proselytizing.

For Fun: On weekends you'll catch me out laughing at some lame joke with my good friends. I may or may not be busting out a karaoke classic. However, a night in reading or watching a movie is never considered a wasted night. I am an MS Paint guru.

My Own Words: If someone would have told me 2 years ago I'd be sitting here stressing out about how to describe myself to AnonymousDatingSite.com, I would have taken their 8th rum & coke away.

But here I am times are a changin'. Online dating is the norm these days, I suppose! I have a close group of friends in LA, but I've found it's harder to meet new people outside of college.

For as long as I can remember, I always thought that 25 year old males lived in apartments with all black furniture, a mini bar, and glass coffee tables. Sexy cocktail parties would be frequent. How wrong I was. Maybe that's true for some, but not me.

Top Reasons to Consider Going Out With Me

* Ability to have a conversation without excessive use of the word "dude."
* Won't embarrass you in public. (*Actual results may vary.)
* Random quotes from obscure movies for every situation.
* I don't own sweatpants.
* You might as well get out of the house while waiting for the next season of "Grey's"

So, basically I'm looking to test the dating waters after a little bit of a layoff. If you've read this far, I already have a crush on you.

Drop me a line if you're interested. Thanks for reading!

So I guess I'm looking for someone attractive, funny and smart (Who isn't right? Just call me "Cap'n Cliche") for some interesting conversation. A great sense of humor is undervalued these days. Someone who is serious about her career, but won't shy away from spontaneously going out on a weeknight. A girl that can drop an old school Nickelodeon reference will always cause my heart to skip a beat. And a girl who enjoys naps. I love naps.

* * *

Okay! Round two! Thanks guys!

Actress Isha Koppikar wallpaper, Images and Photos

Movie Review : Rock On!

Guess what, I'm going to watch this movie again. And maybe, a third time, too! Excel Entertainment excels yet again. With ROCK ON, the team of Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani are spot on.

The movie has a Hollywood feel; the casting is just perfect, every character is given due importance, the music is way above brilliant, and the lyrics are something you will rarely hear in a rock ballad. I guess, it will soon be a trend; simple, inquiring questions that are actually everyday happenings. Hats off to Javed Akhtar.

The styling of clothes by Niharika Khan and of the sets are given a minute detailing. The background score captures the mood of the film. Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonca have teamed with the makers to come out with melodies that will easily knock off the frequency of Kabhi Kabhi Aditi and Pappu Can't Dance from the film JAANE TU... ,on radio stations, to the background.

In short, this film is a lesson in filmmaking. On how to scout for the right actors for the part; of how to blend lyrics with the mood and how to add music to the flavour. Director Abhishek Kapoor who made his acting debut ages ago alongside Twinkle Khanna has shown immense talent behind the camera getting the best out of each and every character.

And what about Farhan Akhtar? Yes, what about him? I mean, how do you describe his performance? It's easy to go overboard when a performance just blows you away. And this here is not just one good performance from one actor, but the product as a whole, which leaves you shaking your head in disbelief. Farhan proved himself as a director of repute with DIL CHAHTA HAI and then DON. As an actor, he is simply honest to his craft. You don't get the feeling that this here is his first outing on screen in front of the camera. Agreed he began shooting for THE FAKIR three years ago, but what he comes out with is stuff of what seasoned actors are made of. His singing is awesome. His unique voice texture lends that freshness to the rock ballads and his miming to his own songs on stage is what legendary rock stars are made of. You rock dude.

Prachi Desai has vowed viewers as the bahu on television; she takes her performance a step further making her Bollywood debut with confidence. She adds a touch of freshness to a very complex role for a newcomer. Shahana Goswami, who too makes her debut, is a talent to watch out for. As first the bubbly girlfriend of Arjun Rampal, and then the nagging wife who has to bear the burden of taking care of the household, she is impressive, almost addictive. Arjun Rampal is slowly coming into his own. After playing a character with a negative shade in OM SHANTI OM, he returns with another powerful performance as Joe Mascarenhas the lead guitarist of the band. Vibrant at first, and then subdued he walks the act with a rock star gait. Purab Kohli's cute act as the Killer Drummer, and 'life' of the group enchants you. Catch his 'I Will Surive Act' and you will know what I mean. As for Luke Kenny, he has got a role that suits his personality and he does full justice to it. Did I forget to mention about the editing? Take a bow, Deepa Bhatia. A word of mention for Jason West too, the film's cinematographer. The filming of the concerts is almost real!

ROCK ON is about four friends in their twenties for who music is a passion they dedicatedly pursue. Music binds them; rehearsals make sure they are always together. They have a band called 'Magik'. The movie is interestingly sewn in flashbacks. Abhiskek gives the flow a seamless look even though he has to travel a few years back and forth every now and then. As a band, Adi (Farhan), Rob (Luke Kenny), KD (Purab Kohli) and Joe (Arjun) were a treat. They brought the house down whenever they performed. But somewhere down the line, something went wrong and each go their separate ways. For 10 years, they do not meet each other. What was it that blew their friendship away? The simple narration keeps you on edge while the music builds up the suspense, if you may call it that. Because you want to know what it was that made these four thick pals, who stood up for each other, go their own way. And what it is that brings them back together for that one last gig?

This movie, I'm sure will inspire a generation of youngsters to pick up the guitar and also dabble with lyrics.

Movie Review : Chamku

The movie tells the tale of a Naxalite Chamku ( Bobby Deol ) who’s miraculously saved after a police encounter and inducted into covert operations by RAW and IB (quite a leap from one side of the law to the other). Working for the government, Chamku kills cold-bloodedly. He assassinates the anti-national elements without whom the IB, in all its wisdom, deems the world to be a better place.

so Chamku becomes a killing machine until his heart throbs the moment he sets eyes on a kindergarten teacher ( Priyanka Chopra ) who, too, falls for ‘Chamku’ despite the fact that he is visibly the most unromantic, if not boring, person and his conversations with her are restricted to the mono-syllabic hmm..ha.Ho Hum.

With the movie seemingly going nowhere, director Kabeer Kaushik (who’s not even half as good as he was in Sehar ) decides to throw in a twist. The plot takes a vendetta angle with the entry of a chubby-cheeked Thakur whom Chamku has hated since childhood.

After that the story keeps zigzagging like the bullets that fly zooming by in every next frame of this grossly violent film. Chamku plans revenge but is dissuaded from the course by his shrewd boss ( Irrfan Khan ) until Thakur himself emerges before him one day.

After that the story keeps zigzagging like the bullets that fly zooming by in every next frame of this grossly violent film. Chamku plans revenge but is dissuaded from the course by his shrewd boss ( Irrfan Khan ) until Thakur himself emerges before him one day.

Bobby Deol convincingly keeps a singular expression for the most part of the film, but that’s not a compliment for his performance. Priyanka Chopra perhaps had ample free time on her hand that she even decided to do this film. Ritesh Deshmukh makes a brief appearance as Chamku’s colleague who plans to retire from his bloody job but retires from the world instead. Irrfan Khan is visibly uninterested in playing the character of Chamku’s manipulative boss.

All said, ‘Chamku’ turns out to be a big disappointment if you compare it with director Kabeer Kaushik’s riveting ‘Sehar’. The movie’s plot is as disjointed as the life of its protagonist. The songs are as painful as the refreshments bill in the multiplex. The film has some stunning visuals and a few deftly executed sequences, but that’s too little a compensation for the time and money spent (rather wasted) on this grim and slow film.

Tempestad and Dreams - Eugenio Recuenco's Amazing Photo Exhibit

I published some amazing photos from brilliant Spanish photographer Eugenio Recuenco a couple of days ago and promised to add more stuff. This very evocative and absolutely magical photo exhibition is Recuenco's latest work. The exhibit is called Tempestad and Dreams and it was presented at the Galerie Bertie-Toublanc in Paris in February/March of this year. These images are not yet in Recuenco's website but the site is worth visiting here.

Rain of Madness - A Hilarious Mockumentary for Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder

Rain of Madness is a mockumentary for the comedy Tropic Thunder starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downing Jr. and Steve Coogan supposedly chronicling the behind the scenes filming of Tropic Thunder which made its USA theatrical debut on August 13th. I think I got to the party a bit too late by posting this video now after the movie premiered but I think it is so funny! Juvenile as heck but funny to me nevertheless. The fake documentary mocks Hearts of Darkness which is a real documentary that chronicles the making of Francis Ford Coppola's epic war film Apocalypse Now.



"Tropic Thunder is a 2008 action comedy film directed by Ben Stiller and written by Stiller, Justin Theroux, and Etan Cohen. The film stars Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. as a group of prima donna actors making a Vietnam War film when their fed-up writer and director decide to abandon them in the middle of the jungle, forcing them to fight their way out."

Check out the trailer for Tropic Thunder if you have not done so already or watched the film. I think its totally hilarious!

This is the work of 38 year old Spanish photographer Eugenio Recuenco who is considered by many to be the most important photographer on the international scene. Mr. Recuenco's amazingly evocative, pictorial photography and unique chiaroscuro style have earned him comparison with such great Spanish masters as Goya, El Greco and Zurbaran. Mr. Recuenco,who has earned multiple accolades for his fantastic work such as the Lion of Gold and Bronze for his work for Playstation at the 2005 Cannes Festival, has done work for such powerhouses as Lavazza, Nina Ricci, Pull & Bear, Magnum, Mango, Le Bon Marché, Vogue, Maxim, Saint Laurent and many others. This is a 2003 campaign for Lucky Strike cigarettes.

I hate the cigarettes but I absolutely love the amazing photographic work! More to come from this fantastic artist. For now I leave you with this small gallery.

Best Fathers Day Gifts - Give your dad what he really wants

Father's Day is close upon us, as can be seen by the over flowing junk mail in and around the mailbox. Everyone knows that these so called 'days' are an evil plan hatched by all the department stores and retailers so they can put their grimy hands down your pants and grab your wallet, and while they're down there, your balls too. Let's spare a thought for the countless trees that were sacrificed to bring attention to all the father's day deals

Let's for a moment forget the advertisements, even though they are like the smell of skank - clinging all over you. What do fathers really want? Does every dad want turbo charged power tools that can slice of his careless and in 2 seconds, or the latest semiautomatic garden hoe that can chop off all his 10 toes at the press of a button, or a John Rambo signature hunting knife? I don't think so. Here are the top 10 gifts any and every father would love to have.

Clothes - Lingerie, not for your dad, unless he's a fairy. Lingerie for a wife to wear for her husband. What is the common denominator for all men? Sex. Dress yourself up in sexy lingerie and turn up without a head-ache on father's day. Please note that this is probably not a good idea if you're trying to do this for your dad (you're his daughter). Unless you're super hot and your dad is a bit of an incestuous perv.

Power tools - Vibrators, this is an excellent gift because he can use it on himself as well as on his wife or partner. Believe me, if you are a wife, this is one power tool he will want to use on you everyday. Over and over again. Even when you are sleeping.

Books - How about an annual subscription to Playboy or Penthouse? Or something a bit more skankier like 'tit-o-rama' if your dad is so inclined. Not only will he actually read through the whole magazine, but this will help give his right hand a good workout too.

DVDs - Porn! I'd suggest softporn with a semblance of a story. He can fill in all the missing hardcore bits with his wife. This is the gift that keeps on giving, because when no one's home he can indulge in some serious monkey spanking. How many times can you watch Jeremy Clarkson? Once? Now how many times can you watch a hot woman undress? Nuff said.

Food - Forget chocolates or other fancy health foods. What he really wants is a bucket full of oil slathered KFC, a six pack of the best beer and some carpet to munch on a little later in the day.

Akshay Kumar is the most stylish: Rocky S

Designer Rocky S has clothed Bollywood star Akshay Kumar for eight long years and says the actor is the most stylish and metrosexual man around.

"I have worked with Akshay for eight years. I really respect him for the way he has groomed himself. He has become one of the biggest metrosexual stars, most stylish fashion icon and he is
so successful that I am proud of him. Just look from where he has come and where he has reached," said Rocky.

However, he is no longer designing for Akshay. "I started designing for Akshay in 1992. But I stopped working with him in 2000 because I had to move on. Also, both of us needed to take a break from each other," he added.

Unlike most other Indian designers who started their career by showcasing their collections at fashion shows, Rocky started his stint designing for Bollywood stars. "I started 16 years back. At that time the only opportunity I got was in Bollywood. I think it was good for me, as it has created awareness about my brand. I have met a lot of actors who want to wear clothes designed by me."

Currently Rocky's clientele includes big names like John Abraham, Katrina Kaif, Bipasha Basu and Shilpa Shetty. Rocky claimed: "The people I dress up are the best dressed. They are really great with clothes. They have a great body to carry off anything and they have a good style of their own."

Talking about the likings of his female clients, he added: "Shilpa likes deeper and rich Indian colours. She likes to wear emerald, she loves red and it really suits her. Even Bipasha likes red. Katrina likes pastel and lighter shades."

His most recent project was the hit flick Singh is Kinng. He dressed Katrina in the film and is also working with her in Yuvraj. Apart from that he has designed Bipasha's clothes for Pankh and Kangana Ranaut's for Raaz - The Mystery Continues. Rocky says designing for the actors is challenging. "It is fun to work with actors and also challenging to make them look different every time. It is also a challenge for them to get into a character every time with different clothes and looks. A lot of hard work is required in Bollywood."

On an average, Rocky takes up almost four projects in a year. The Mumbai-based designer entered mainstream fashion around 1997 to cater to the general public. He introduced the collection under his label Rocky S.

"When I started, fashion was not even taking off in a very big manner and I think it was after four to five years that I felt the need to do creative work for myself. That's when I started doing clothes that were more wearable and saleable.

"I came at the right time for mainstream fashion. Luckily, I have kept a very good balance between Bollywood and mainstream fashion till now," he said. He is gearing up to participate in the upcoming Spring-Summer edition of the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) to be held in the capital from Oct 15-19.
