Bipasha Schumacher

Back in the day, Raj Cooper used to sing "Mera Joota Hai Japani", i.e., "My Shoe Is Japanese". Japanese shoes? MWAHAHAHAHAHA. Italian leather footwear sounds alluring. American sneakers are out of this world. But Japanese shoes? Like straw slippers? Or recycled sushi mat thongs? Give me a break Raj Blooper. Leave the shoemaking and singing to me in the future, dammit.

Bipasha Basu Needs A New Shoemaker

Anyway, in other fashion news today, I would like to draw your attention to style icon (my new favorite term for Bollywood dorks) Bipasha Basu's fantastic shoes. If you were wondering where, or who helps her pick these shoes, go no further. Jimmy Choo, Manolo Whoo?

Yes, it is me, Cow Tse Tung, shoemaker and shoe stylist to the superstars. So the next time you're after some quality footwear with a hefty tag, and out-of-this-world fashion sensibilities (in short, alien sense of style), bring your business to my little boutique. With my Midas touch, I will make you a shoelebrity. Take Bipasha Ba-shoe's word for it.

The Next (NEXT???) Great Indian Athlete Will Come From Bollywood

After many years, India has finally produced some world-class athletes, in the form of this stooge and Bipasha Basu. Bisou bisou. Blip on my crotch radar Bisou.

Why didn't the Sports Authority of India think of this actor-athlete scheme before? Must I ALWAYS have to do all the smart thinking around these parts of the globe?

India's Future Olympic Gold Medallists

Anyway, foreign investment in sporting technology has been great. Kolhapuri chappals are now known to be one of the most comfortable names in high-speed jogging thongs, whatever that might be. Scientists at the Cow Tse Tung Sporting Technology Advancement and Penile Enhancement Institute have come up with aerodynamic bodysuits that will make the most hardcore of purdah-proponents seem like a latter day Gloria Steinem. We've even converted duppattas into uh, aerodynamics-enhancing dorsal fins.

Some might argue that the tight pants cramp the runner - but you tell me - how many Bollywood heroines in those tight pants do you see "cramped" or not fast enough to outrun a sexual offender? How often have you seen Govinda in tight pants complain about...well...the tightness of his pants? He still dances his way into Michael Jackson's heart every time, right? As for the loose tops, its a special mechanism to ensure their bodies can breathe. Trust us sports scientists. For once.

We've also retained the traditional bling bling of India, but added some enhancements to it, like Bluetooth headsets, for starters, so things like baton transitions don't get screwed up too much. I know this is all too boring for all you Bollywood junkies, but hey, sport is important to us currymunchers. Okay?
