2. Women's fashion
I just can't get enough. It's kinda odd.

Oh, women's hairstyles too.

And my non-guilty obsession - trying to get my wife to have cool fashions and cool hairstyles.

4. Tracking the BradJen thing.
It's like an accident you're trying to drive by. I can't quit rubbernecking. Every time you think it's all over, they pull another body from the car.

6. Bollywood---though, now I look at it as legitimate pleasure.
At first I was like, oh silly me, loving Shah Rukh in his see through shirts and his dancing around being sexy!

But then I realized he could actually act, as can a number of Bollywood folks. Their cinematography is just to die for...the dancing runs circles around any of the recent Hollywood musicals...also, Shah Rukh is ridiculously intelligent as well.

Okay, other than that, um, celeb gossip. I'm all about knowing who's with who and why she did what she did and why he's in AA, etc.

7. It's definitely legit!
I'd almost rather watch Bollywood movies than American movies!

10. I'm for sure more excited about new Bollywood films now...
i'm trying to figure out how I'm going to see The Rising in my area (very difficult!). Meanwhile, if I don't see The Island...eh. I'm good with that.

American films seem so short now, like they cut a whole bunch out, LOL.

11. I would have gone to see it tonight
But my husband went to Kansas City for the weekend, and I'm hosting his cousins overnight. We'll catch it next week.

Where do you live?

And I'm wondering - are you "Desi"?

13. Not even slightly desi.
I'm African American...Turner Classic Movies turned me on to Bollywood.

I live in New Jersey, which is actually one of the best places to catch Bollywood films--unless you live where I live now. I think I'd have to go into Philly. Or, visit the fam in North Jersey.

So jealous of you!

Restaurants, shopping, movie theaters showing only Bollywood movies - you should move to Dallas!

20. My wife and I love Bollywood!
and Shah Rukh Khan is all over the place. He has been in some good films, but we just saw Dil To Pagal He and were quite disappointed.

27. Norwegian black metal.
I know it makes you rot from the inside out, but I can't get enough.

That, and Googling my own name to see if I get more hits than the other guy in this country with my name (it's not a very common name).
