Tattoo Artist Al...

As a part of the gypsy theme, we had Al, the tattoo artist, over at the office. He had the coolest looking hairstyle, and the most wonderfully colorful toolkit. He had some really funky patterns, that the office people happily lapped up. He uses an organic henna mixture in his temporary tattoo mix, and as far as I know, there were no allergic reactions noted. He even asked us all if we had something specific in mind and then he would draw it for us. Happiness! The guy is very good at his work. He owns a tattoo salon in Bandra. In fact, the colorful mural that we all loved so much was done by him for the office. Just how cool is this guy? In the couple of hours that he was there, Al finished some twenty temporary tattoos. Lightening fast. I have never been able to gather the courage to get a permanent tattoo, but I got a temp one, a tiny devil. Loved it! Here are some pictures of the man in action and some lovely tattoos he did for my colleagues.

The Hippie Party Sneak Peek

Remember the hippie theme party I had in my office last Friday? I finally got around to uploading some pix. Will do an elaborate post later in the day. For now, a preview of the decorations. Picture one is of a wall-paper, hand-made decoration, done especially for the Friday theme. The second picture is of the glow-lamps in the pantry. I love this picture for the vibrant colors.

In fact, I love it so much that I just might make it an element in the new blog look (wink, wink). Yup, am looking at redecorating the blog, getting a few new features, interviewing some blogdom celebs, posting loads more pictures. So, currently the list of stuff I am busy procrastinating is mighty long.

Hippie, Hippie, Hurray!!!

I guess the Hippie fever is catching on! My office has a theme-Friday every week, and today the theme is Hippie! Everyone is supposed to dress like one. And we also have a barbecue and flea market arranged in the evening. Talk about mixing pleasure with work. Am posting the Fashion Friday invitation from HR right now. Will post the pictures over the weekend.
