a princess toy we guys are least interested about

Fashion illustration classes in our college unwraps a bags of scope for some of those perverted jokes. She looked into one of my fashion illustration’s long stylized legs and joked that I am a ‘leg guy’. The conversation changed from legs to Bipasha Basu and later we went on to make a hottest-women-list!

While I had known her for last three years, we both bonded together a year later when we moved into the fashion design department in our second year of college. She was quite popular, beautiful, bold, outspoken and was at times known to be rude. I knew the truth that she’s the most genuine person I’ve ever met who’d tell it on the face with nothing to hide.

I would discuss Angelina Jolie’s hot lips and even the other girls I liked in my college just to know her opinion only to later disagree with! She never liked what I liked. She makes fun of my dry and stubborn hair while I made fun of her ‘Dove’ conditioner as a “a-princess-toy-we-guys-are-least-interested-about”. We kept having silly fights in facebook while she was always the first person I would talk to when I was in crisis. Our choices were never identical while we still made the best understanding of our differences which is the very reason why we were best buddies. We were inseparable in college which even made some of my roommates think that we were dating!

Months down the line, we were stitching garments at the eve of our final exam at a senior’s room. It’s one of those cruel winter nights in New Delhi when we were struggling hard to keep ourselves warm in the only small blanket available in the room. We both were fighting (wrestling actually) with each other to squeeze our way inside the tiny blanket while her soft flowing hair constantly brushed my face. I cursed her and the entire universe for conferring her that beautiful hair which smelled good and constantly makes me jealous. Playfully I pulled her hair and asked what hairspray she uses? She snapped at me saying, “It’s no hairspray. It’s just a-princess-toy-you-guys-are-least-interested-about”. It has been almost a year now since we have been happily dating each other and yes... I started using Dove shampoo and conditioner too!

P.S :- I am not sure if I am the same ‘leg’ guy anymore, but it’s certainly the hair that fancies to me. It’s the beautiful hair that brought out my hidden emotions which even I wasn’t aware. May be... I am a ‘hair’ guy after all!

P.P.S :- A F(h)airy tale since I was L(d)ove struck! Hair later went on to become one of my main focus in fashion illustrations. Stylized hair redefines the illustration with flair and grace. Scans from my illustration copy.



P.P.P.S :- I no longer look down hair care as a girl-only affair. Earlier my hair was so stubborn that I had to listen to it. Thing have changed and now my hair listens to me! It's smooth and much softer while I can style it the way I want.
