Reading a rather risque blog this morning, I read mention of a Bollywood actor, so Google image searched him, and came across Bollywood Photos.

 

 

These are, in my opinion, the best looking Bollywood stars who I saw there:

Female	Male
Aishwarya Rai Amrita Rao Ayesha Takia Mallika Sherawat Neha Dhupia Priyanka Chopra Rani Mukherjee Sameera Reddy Sonam Kapoor Vidya Balan	Arjun Rampal Hrithik Roshan John Abraham Saif Ali Khan Shahid Kapoor Sikander Kher Tusshar Kapoor Uday Chopra

 

Take a look and see what you think of my choices?

What is it with the Chopra and especially the Kapoor families?!  Wow, that Kapoor family is certainly good looking!  Well, I presume they're siblings.  Edited:  "...five generations of the Kapoor family have acted, directed, or produced in the Bollywood industry..."!

Some of the women have such long noses it crossed my mind that they could be female impersonators.  A lot of the men, and women, have 'weak chins'.  Some of the men look effeminate.  Some of the male actors are just too old for their female co stars.

Of course I'm looking at them from a different (Australian) cultural perspective.

The Bollywood actresses are so glamorous, thanks to their gorgeous, feminine clothing and fantastic jewellery!

You Are An INTJ

The Scientist You have a head for ideas - and you are good at improving systems. Logical and strategic, you prefer for everything in your life to be organized. You tend to be a bit skeptical. You're both critical of yourself and of others. Independent and stubborn, you tend to only befriend those who are a lot like you. In love, you are always striving to improve your relationship. You have strong ideas of what love should be like. At work, you excel in figuring out difficult tasks. People think of you as "the brain." You would make an excellent scientist, engineer, or programmer. How you see yourself: Reasonable, knowledgeable, and competent When other people don't get you, they see you as: Aloof, controlling, and insensitive

Actually, I'm INFJ, which is more rare.  This was only a quick test, & I found myself wanting a third option for at least several questions.

I was looking for an art tutorial to put on my neglected art blog, when I came across this:

 

I've either forgotten how to, or we can't, embed a YouTube video here on tblog? - so click here to see this video, please?!

 

I can relate.  I've been involved with a "wolf disguised as a puppy dog", on & off, for seven months now.  It's been so confusing.  Still, I have gratitude for some aspects (hehe), and some results (= how else could I have met this other person?!), of my experience - & don't wish for harm to befall the exwolf.  I just want him to become the good man I know he is capable of being.
