Mallika cannes show and she will..

I just had to find an excuse to put up this picture of Mallika Sherawat [left]. After graciously giving vent to the long suppressed libidos of Indian men, she has decided to be charitable and go international. This is her Cannes appearance with Jackie Chan for his new movie 'The Myth' where he rescues an exotic Indian princess in Indiana Jones style. Mallika's can-and-will-bare attitude stands out in a nation where the 'good girl' image is so highly rated, even while the biggest draws in Bollywood are the sex-flicks. (She is however going to disappoint many men who turn up for her 'Vagina Monologues' expecting a titillating play instead of the serious monologue it really is.)

While I admire her attitude, the truth has to be said. While Mallika has a good taste in clothes and jewellery, she has a really bad taste in unnaturally elevating push-up bras.

UPDATE: Check out Shahrivar Shermine (also at Cannes, 2005) above for a classier take on the same idea.
