Re: Kaali Dhulhan
^ Thanks Muniya for starting this thread, pakistani women are gorgeous and even more when as a bride they keep their natural beauty!
Why do pakistani girls even want to look white ...or should i rather ask why do beauty parlors paint their customers like they have seen a ghost at their weddings? Eitherway i think this whole gorey wannabe complex is going deeper and is rooted in our society's beauty perception!
But it isnt only the parlours it has become a widely common phenomenon , its on every page of a magazine that u open , television , advertisements and even in reality i know people looking for gorey gorey rishtey the whiter the better!
When i was in pakistan 2 yrs ago I watched a riddiculous advertisement on tv of a of a whitening cream product. (i think it was pearl whitening cream) where a young girl goes for a job interview and gets rejected , but after she uses the whitening cream and wear cheap ''modern western'' clothing she becomes more succesfull and gets noticed that results that she eventually gets the job! i mean how discrimininating and degrading can get be more?
I am baffled in western countries these kind of commercials would bemarked as racist, i have seen pictures of a bride who is a natural beauty with a dark complexion that looked completely different on her wedding pics! I did not even recognise her and was told that she had even brushed her arms so that it would look even....
It stunns me that despite pakistans independence we are still being ruled and awed by this nonsense white gorey beauty perception!
Although i am very fair by nature, i did not allow my makeup artist to paint me even more white on my wedding thank god!
