…I can see Sophia’s thigh!
Brimful brings yet ANOTHER brown fugging to our attention! This time, the fuggee is Sophia Hyatt Hayat, whom I am not so familiar with…but like I said before, that’s irrelevant when it comes to a good fugging. It’s totally possible to fug someone you don’t know. Sometimes, it’s even better. Anonymous fugging, if you will. Ah, I’ll stop fugging with you.
Unlike the previously blogged fuggings, this time Jessica was on top of things:
One of my basic rules of thumb is that, whatever you wear, you should make sure that it a) fits and b) covers your bits.
Solid.
And I mean that in the most fundamental way: this is not a screed against halter tops or mini-skirts or even (for once) shorts. I just mean that a mantilla is not a gown, and no one really wants to see your panties.
Stop hey, what’s that sound, everybody look what’s goin’ down…all us South Asians look alike, yaar. Thus, like Matthew Sweet once crooned, “Baby, we’re the same.”
This dress does not look alluring, nor does it make our Sexy Indian Hottie look like a mysterious flamenco dancer, or even like a contender for a role in Zorro 3: Zeta-Jones Doesn’t Do Straight To Video. It makes her look like she forgot part of her outfit.
As my beloved Father would have barked at Ms. Hayat, “GET A PETTICOAT!”I’ll forgive Jessica’s subcontinental confusion because she goes on to discuss something straight out of one of MY rants about kindness, courtesy and etiquette. It’s funny, so I’m quoting the whole thing:
In fact, it reminds me of something I once read on the subject of etiquette, which was that rules for social behavior don’t exist to control people, but rather to make everyone feel comfortable.
EXACTLY. No one sane gives a shit about what fork you use, just stop weirding people out.
I think we’ve all been in a situation where, say, you’re eating a cheeseburger at Hamburger Habit and the sun is shining and the birds are singing and the boy you like called you and your skinny jeans fit and all is right in the world. And you look at the table across from you, and a woman is sitting there in too tight low-rise jeans and SERIOUSLY? You can see her entire butt and thong. And I guarantee you what happens next: every girl at your table reaches back to make sure that her own derriere hasn’t made a break for it, everyone then quietly wonders if she can’t feel the draft, and then everyone can’t stop looking at her thong, but not in a hot way. In, like, a “should I TELL her that her thong is hanging out, or is she doing that on purpose?” kind of way. And then she leaves and everyone is relived.
So save us some social angst, ladies who like to flash your panties on purpose, and cut it out. Because of you, none of us know whether or not the girl at Hamburger Habit is thonging it up on purpose or not, and therefore, we are unable to decide if it would be sisterly to hand her a sweater to tie around her waist, or if that would insult her. And all we really wanted was a cheeseburger.
Well, more like a gardenburger for me…and speaking of, those of you who know me IRL are surely cackling uncontrollably, since I call those…(drumroll please)
Wedgieburgers.
Thank you, I’ll be here all week.
thanks a lot ANNA… I was eating my lunch.
oh, and it was a wegetarian burger, too 😉
I think you guys are being unfair. If Zorro had x-ray vision then every woman would look like that.
some ruin it for all of the girls. Seriously in one of my classes, this girl who sat directly in front of me everyday, always had ass cleavage hanging out. I threw up a little in my mouth every. single. day.
“Anonymous fugging”
you crack me up anna
Some people look down on Sofia because she wears dresses like this to London movie premieres:
NSFW!
But I like her, because I always cheer for the Pakistani girl who dreams of being a star and gets disowned by her family because of it, and is called a harlot for it, and who also knows what to do with a cigar (scroll along)
God Bless Pakistani Rebel Women
you have a point, Abhi. But really, aren’t there some you could be happier without seeing? Why subject the public to that?
Speaking as a photographer, I should point out that this girl probably only looked this way during the 1/125th of a second that the flash fired. Remember what happened to poor Alexandra Kerry (John’s filmmaker daughter) at an event during the last election?:

Light skin under sheer black fabric blasted by a 150 lumens of white light is a recipe for paparazzi-induced titillation.
oh dear god, Red Snapper! MY EYES!
1) Darling DesiDancer, I am sincerely sorry for fugging with your wedgieburger. What a horrid thing to do.
2) Abhi-kins, even Zorro don’t wanna see THAT.
3) Jeet- I know exactly what you mean. (p.s thanks!:)
The more I look at that pic, the more I think that dress is atrocious.
Preston, my Merchant of gorgeous imagery, I thought the SAME thing (right down to a mental flashback of Kerry nip) and then I thought this; it still doesn’t excuse the dress. F-U-G-L-Y, she ain’t got no alibi, that’s fugly, yeah…that’s fugly.
hmm, i agree with the fugging, but I would advise her to go with the black underwear, instead of white, next time she wears this dress.
NSFW!
dude. respect the ladies.
ah man! i was just coming here to post the link to this!
Anna, as you may have gathered, the correct spelling of Ms. Wisecrack’s name is Sofia Hayat.
She has a website, complete with a own not-especially-tuneful Hinglish pop song called, appropriately, “Shake Your Cha Cha.”
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE! I was WONDERING why not a damned thing was appearing apres a good googling. Thanks!
A side note: Who the FUG cares what she is wearing???
A very boring post indeed.
It’s not your fault – the FUGgers spelled it wrong.
She’s not an H-hotel-heir like you-know-who.
I would think that if you are one to frequent red carpets, you’d know that there will be cameras a plenty. Wouldn’t you take the flash factor into account when picking out your ensemble? Nah, I don’t buy the “oh, the flash,” excuse. She knew exactly what she was doing.
oh wait, there is a whole other post discussing what Parminder Nagra is wearing.
Goddamn people! You guys must be bored out of your minds.
On to the NY Times.
If you are whom your IP addy implies you are, do remember to say that to my face on August 13th, since you RSVPd for it. We’ll chat about why the FUG the REST of us care, as proven by the overwhelming majority of comments on both “Go Fug Yourself” threads. It’ll be fugging FABULOUS.
Don’t let the door hit your pretentious, judgmental self on the way out– good riddance to bad snobbery (since you were trying for the “more-erudite-than-thou”-contrivance, you could have picked something less ubiquitous than NYT…I would have gone with The Economist, but that’s just boring me)
Anna, I’ll be sure to do that when I see you. I have no qualms telling you in person that this was a “boring” post. But, that’s just me. I’ve been reading the news a bit much in the past week or so and frankly, it was difficult to appreciate the contents of your post given what is happening in the world at this very moment.
(Speaking of, I was wondering why we haven’t had a post addressing Israel/lebanon or anything related to it. It might be too broad a topic and probably elicit hundreds of reponses)
Going back to the issue, I didn’t ask why others care about this girls dress. I’m sure they have their reasons.
I do find your knee-jerk response to my post rather funny. So, thanks for that.
Allow me to quote from our FAQ, since you seem to be confusing us with MSM:
Rammi, If you have no qualms stating that it was a “boring” post, why hide behind a new alias?
Anna,
That bit about the nature and scope of this blog is good to know. Thanks.
Rammi, if I may answer that question (at least from my perspective). Finding a desi angle on the Lebanon story (which is not impossible and in fact I have another good one in addition to the angles we have already blogged about) and then sitting down to write the post takes a good hour and a half to two hours. As a counter-example, some of the lighter posts that I have been recently writing take 15 minutes. They aren’t as deep but it may be all we have time for on a certain day, week, or even month. Plus if we blogged heavy issues on every post the responsibility of blogging would weigh us down so fast that we’d burn out and quit. I think our bloggers average about 6 hours of sleep a night as it is.
Just do what I do. Skip posts that don’t interest you.
Well said, Abhi.
He’s right. The average post I write takes an hour. This one took 25 minutes. The serious ones which require more research and thought? Don’t ask.
AMARDEEP: “Rammi, If you have no qualms stating that it was a “boring” post, why hide behind a new alias?”
That’s so funny.
It’s because I don’t even remember the last one I used since I use a different one every time or for every new post that I respond to. And this computer has two users, myself and my boyfriend, we both visit sepia occasionally.
Rest assured we’ll both be sure to speak to you guys in person whenever we see you and remind you of this little episode here.
btw, my real name is Manu, and I don’t think I have met any of you before. But I’ve seen the pics, so I’ll locate you.
I think more Pakistani women should show their naked ass at movie premieres in England.
What does everyone else think?
(Just ignore this post if it offends you, or is not relevant to current Lebanon crisis. It took over an hour to conceive of and construct with the requisite wit)
Oh, great, I can’t wait! And please, while you’re at it, do tell us about everything else that annoys you about us. What a wonderful way to make friends!
Abhi,
Your point is well-taken. Although, I am certainly not interested in something based on whether or not it has a desi connection. But, I see what you are saying about the amount of work that would involve.
Thanks. Yeah, usually, I just skip them. But like I said, having been consumed and disturbed over this situation in the mid-east, it just irked me to read something light-hearted like this.
Aight no more.
Some of us read (or write) light-hearted things exactly BECAUSE we are consumed and disturbed over such situations. Beyond that, why look down on someone else because they cope differently or have dissimilar interests from your own? I respect how you are affected by war, but I don’t think it gives you license to be so unkind.
Amardeep: Oh, great, I can’t wait! And please, while you’re at it, do tell us about everything else that annoys you about us. What a wonderful way to make friends!
Aight guys, getting a bit silly for me here. All I said was that I found the post/topic boring. Big deal!!!
Niceties are overrated.
I’m off and won’t be checking back on this post. You guys did a good job.
PS: Amardeep, I do think a lot of your posts in the past have been totally fascinating, but sorry, I still think this one is a boring topic. Can I think and say that without you guys being so defensive?
Abhi, i think you may like this site: http://www.aldaily.com
Adios!
I’ve always agreed with the notion that SM is a never-ending online cocktail party which we host; I don’t like it when people are rude to my other guests. Any topic which generates 100+ comments is obviously a conversation which said guests are enjoying. Bottom line: I’ll stop being “defensive” when you stop being dismissive.
I’m not against it, but I think it depends; perhaps it should be taken on an ass-by-ass basis.
She seems to have taken her inspiration from that Sophia Loren quote: “A woman’s dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.”
Voyeur Pleasure
rammi, all I have to say to you is this.
Wassup Mutineers – agree it is a Friday, but whatsup with all glam posts in last few days?
Too much flug makes mutiny a TOI wannabe….
I’m curious; do you laud posts you like as well as complain when you don’t?
I’m amazed at how self-centered certain commenters seem to be today, i.e. “I think this is stupid. Obviously, my preferences are all that matter, so I will state this publicly in order to make my displeasure known.” As if the rest of our opinions are irrelevant– wait, what AM I thinking? Of course. The rest of us should obviously agree with and act like you. Then, we should kill ourselves. Here’s a footstool: GET OVER YOURSELVES.
Rammi:
If this is such a boring topic, why stick around and keep poking the people with a stick who enjoy it. If you’re looking for attention for the mere sake of it, please spare us the high horse. You see, the problem I [not speaking for anyone else] have is that you didn’t critque whether you agreed the lady was fugly, or the structure of the post, or anything else. You said you were bored by it, which means it didn’t interest you. You didn’t offer constructive criticism of THIS post. You threw out the standard,”Give me something that interests ME, ME, ME, ME…”.
I think these bloggers here do a good job of letting us in on THEIR thoughts and THEIR interests. They are courteous enough to take into consideration what we may or may not like. That is a courtesy, not our right or something we’ve paid for. Unlike a movie or TV show, or even a magazine subscription where you pay for entertainment, this is a free service to us all. Which means nothing is binding us to this blog other than mutual interests. Lodging complaints about how this wasn’t worthy or boring does you no good because you, like me, are guests of this free service and the bloggers aren’t catering (in my opinion) to selling a product for entertainment (like a movie, tv, paid magazine, etc.)They’re just writing stuff, we’re voyeurs who get to pipe in sometimes, and everybody learns a thing or two and marches along.
I love my petticoats
for more fugly… did you guys check out the photo gallery at ms hayat’s site? there is more evidence of fugly and some eye candy for the boys… don’t miss the pics below the gallery ‘book’… there are a couple of ‘wedgieburger’ shots, one of them in the black lace number… oh dear! blush
A+ not T&A.
Worse than the pics was the godawful music! Sheesh, this is to warn any unsuspecting peeps to turn the volume to mute when looking at her sight.
TOI, I’m gonna have to agree about the glam posts lately comment.
But, we all deserve a little fun sometimes with that stuff.
I’m starting to wonder if there is a cultural or generational context for comments like this; truly, I don’t think anyone who “gets” the glam/TOI references would know anything about GFY and v.v.– I see two very separate audiences for the two. Perhaps it’s an “American” or 2nd gen thing, but Go Fug Yourself has quite the following, so a desi appearing on its pages is understandably a noteworthy event. Three desis in one week? Simply astounding. I don’t read “/.” but I understand that being on it can be a big deal. Same thing, but again, for a totally different audience, I guess.
I do, and it is. Woe be anyone’s server if an article about you gets slashdotted!

There are bloggers in India that talk about GFY. Some exmaples: here, here, here.
I’m too sexy for my love too sexy for my love Love’s going to leave me

I’m too sexy for India
More civilians were killed in Iraq last month (3 times more than Lebanon) and more American servicemen died in Iraq compared to Israeli troop casualties. But who is counting ??
Sorry for the brief irrelavent point. Now back
to T&Ato clothes or lack there of.Btw, sepia did have a post related to the plight of Sri Lankan maids abandoned by their employers and stranded in Lebanon a few days ago. At least do a proper read-through before rushing to complain that some topic you want this free site to provide has not been covered.
