On Wednesday, the Oberoi men8217;s and women8217;s salon Silhouette re-opened. Shutfor over a year for renovations, the salon wanted to celebrate its newavatar with a bang. So they roped in model co-ordinator and choreographerRasna Behl to do a lunch-time show for them at the hotel8217;s Sport8217;s bar,Champ8217;s The salon has been a favourite with the city8217;s fashionable crowdfor long it was not uncommon at one time to see Tanya Godrej, Tina Ambaniand Ramona Garware there the lunch proved that the salon still retainsits former hold. Attended by some of Mumbai8217;s more style-conscious womenfrom Rima Jain and Nirja Shah to Dolly Thakore, L8217;Oreal showed off its newcolouring and perming techniques. According to the latest fashion buzz, itis now hip to sport curly locks. Hmmm8230; we wonder if any of the women atthe show would be sporting enough to perm their hair?
Thai time
With the party season in full swing, it8217;s surprising to see that NikhilChibb is missing. This chef is as well known for his Burmese delicacies, ashis ability to party. Anyway there is a good reason for his absence he hasmoved to Goa. And not to party, but to work as this weekend he officiallyopened his own restaurant Busabong. This restaurant is rumoured to servesome of the most authentic Thai, and Burmese food you can find. And anyparty animal will be able to find Nikhil8217;s new place with ease as it is inBaga just near Tito8217;s 8212; the most popular nightspot in Goa.
And finally8230;
Also missing in action for a while, the new Kama Sutra model, VivekaBabajee, is back in Mumbai at last. Not on the ramp, but as the model andambassadress for Urvashi another fragrance launched by the Kanegaonkargroup the same people who introduced Lata: Eau de Parfum, last week. Theperfume, by the way, is being billed as the first Indian perfume to bemarketed internationally. Well, then it certainly makes sense to use aninternational beauty.
