Asking a Girl Out - the Correct Way to Ask for a Date
When you would be dating the women, the first thing that you ought to keep in your mind is that you must be particular about the timings that you will maintain in your dealings with the women. What is more important for you when you would be dating the women is that you have to be very sensible in your timings about when particularly you would be asking a girl out with you.
You might be wondering why timing is so much important when it comes to the matter of asking a girl out while you are already dating her. There are, of course, some reasons. Let them be explained. Tracking back on life many people will find many instances that have been the results of mistiming. There are also numerous people who ultimately turn out to be a failure as a dating master. You might be thinking that there must have been some misunderstanding between the two due to some different way of thinking or some other reasons. Things may be so. At the same time, it will also be revealed in most of the cases that one of the couple has done or said something at a very wrong moment.
To speak frankly in general about timing, there is nothing in the world that is regarded to be the ultimate right or the ultimate wrong. It depends much upon the situation in which you are expected to say or do. If you do or say according to the situation, you are the right one. Even if you say or do the right thing at a very wrong time, everything is going to be wrong with you. So beware of bad timings. Always keep it in your minds that you can never track back to the past so that you can redo what you had already done. There is no scope for undoing and redoing.
Asking a girl out is, of course, a necessity for you if you are already into the game of dating women. How can you date a woman or a girl if you do not ask her to get out with you? You can’t. Therefore, you have got to ask a girl out if you want to date that girl. What is important is you have to ask the girl for an outing with her at the right timing. Do net be too early. Neither be too late. You may be refused after asking a girl out at a too early time. You may also be frustrated to see the woman getting married to someone else since you have been too late in asking her out.
It may happen to you when you are already in the game of dating various women that after your asking a girl out she refuses to go out with you. There is no reason to think that the girl refuses to go for an outing with you because she does not particularly like you. You must think that there may really be some reasons for which she may not be able to manage an outing with you. If you know from beforehand that the girl is in some problem for which she cannot afford to go with you foe an outing, it would be better of you and also for you not to press her too much for going out. She may very naturally get irritated. If this irritation turns out to be something very genuine and long-lasting there remains no hope for you, so far as your relationship with the girl or the woman is concerned.
You also have to be very careful about timing even if the girl accepts your proposal to go for an outing. It is true that the whole matter of arrangement is at your hand. Still, it is better for you to go for the outing in the weekends. You have to keep in mind that you have to join your work on the first working day of the next week. The weekends will provide you a comparatively longer time. The haste is also quite less. Since you are getting ample of time to create some higher impression in the heart of the girl, why don’t you go for that? You may also get some scope to get involved with her more deeply.
You will also come across girls or women who feel reluctant to go for an outing for a longer time. If you feel interested in dating any of those girls or women, the best option for you is to go for night dating with them. A girl may not be out with you for a whole day. She can certainly go for the dinner with you after the work of the day. If you can realize this at an earlier time, you better opt for the right option instead of trying to pursue her to go for a long dating. It may change your impression that the girl has about you. One more important thing that you must keep in mind before asking a girl out is that the girls are initially comfortable with short dating. The shorter the dating is the more interested she will feel for dating with you. You, therefore, take her for short dating after the work in some nearby places after the day’s work. In the process she might be feeling interested in going for a long dating with you. You never know very well when and how a girl or a woman feels sexually attracted towards a man. It is, therefore, better for you to wait for the right moment rather than pouncing at any chance.
Try to avoid taking a girl to the restaurants or to the nightclubs. There are chances that the girl may feel interested in the events going on in the club. The restaurants are, it has been found, not generally liked by the women or the girls as their dating or meeting places. Without taking any kind of risk, you can plan going to some nearby attractive places. If they are sea beaches or hill-foot areas the girl or the woman whom you are dating cannot but be newly impressed. They will be simply eager to go for the next outing with you.
Keep the maximum time in your hand so that you have the option to go with a woman at any moment she intends to go. It never means that you would pose before the woman in a way that you are ever available for her. Show that you are busy enough and still, you make time for her. Advance for the next step when you feel it very natural. Do not be theoretic in thinking that the woman should not be approached too fast. On the other hand, you should never think that this is not the time yet to make an approach even though you find the girl quite willing to make out with you.
Here are some tips or suggestions about asking a girl out. Try them if you do not want to be a victim of mistiming while asking a girl out.
You must feel the problem of a girl if she refuses to go out with you. She may have some real problems. Do not even make arguments to show that she can go for an outing with you despite her problems.
Be flexible while fixing up the time for dating. Offer as many option as possible. She just cannot manage to cancel all the options.
Pose that you are somehow busy, even if you are not really so. Again, do not show that are in a tremendous hurry.
Weeknights are preferable for the first dating.
Make the approach or some proposal at the right moment.
Never express your annoyance or irritation before her if she refuses to go with you on some particular day.

Jewelry Ideas That's Easy On the Pocket
Some affordable jewelry ideas come from books found at the district library. Ancient jewelry designs worn by Indian tribes from the African or Australian continents might find rebirth in designs created by someone who is very young in age. Children have creative minds and often come up with affordable jewelry designs just by looking at photographs in magazines or the geography books they study from at school. Jewelry fashions change rapidly all of the time so there is plenty of written materials to consider when designing new jewelry designs in an art book.
Some believe that affordable jewelry can be obtained by using beads and chains that are placed in drawers throughout the house by every member of the family. People get designs for fashion jewelry from many things they view throughout the day. Some will be inspired to convert those images to jewelry forms that anyone would be proud to wear, and others will make quick sketches of jewelry designs so that they can add them to design books that do good service for inspiring creative designs every time they are reviewed.
Paths in a forest could inspire the graphic images that are carved into clay. Some people use wheat growing in a field as inspiration for jewelry designs and these images transfer well into oval shapes that are later going to be used to create a fashion bracelet. Clay is an affordable medium for fashion jewelry and crafty artists can use stamps, paint, and crimpers to create fashionable jewelry items that would bring a good price if sold in mass at a flea market. Younger customers will respect any affordable jewelry ideas that learn toward nature and the use of natural mediums. Mining natural stones on location every weekend is an affordable jewelry idea.
Some of the affordable jewelry ideas will incorporate items already purchased for other craft projects at home. Fashion jewelry designers are very crafty with yards, leather cords or odd pieces of leather because these scraps can be turned into fashionable jewelry items in record time. Fashion bracelets will only require a jewelry designer to create braids that will fit the wrist. To dress up these fashion notions, the fashion jewelry designer might come up with several affordable jewelry ideas that incorporate the use of less noticeable treasures located throughout the home.
An inspired fashion jewelry designer might recognize affordable jewelry ideas when they add miniature pearl buttons taken from old clothes to the weave patterns of odd craft scraps. These buttons can be alike or the idea of using different shapes at various points will allow the artist to be artistic and still able to create jewelry that is suitable for wear at church events and social occasions. Large turquoise colored buttons could be used to create southwestern jewelry designs. Affordable jewelry ideas can come from many resources and designers need to be open minded enough to recognize the designer options.
Diamond Engagement Rings - Should They Be Appraised And Insured?
They can be employed by a jewelry store and still perform appraisals for customers of the store and non customers. However, they must deliver an appraisal that represents the true market value of the jewelry and not necessarily the price paid in the store. Example: The store gives a customer a 10% discount on an item. The appraiser would then value the piece at the current market value (what a comparable item would sell for in the most appropriate market) and not at the discounted price.
Some jewelers will sell a piece of jewelry for one price and then give you an appraisal for a much higher value. This practice, if not illegal, is certainly unethical and is frowned upon by all appraisal organizations. Anyone receiving an appraisal with a value that is extremely higher than what was paid for the piece should question the jeweler as to why this was done. If you buy insurance based on an inflated value then you will be over paying for your insurance. Most jewelry insurance is for Retail Replacement Value.
This means that the insurance company is obligated to replace the item in like kind and quality. This does not mean that the insurance company will write you a check for the value stated on the appraisal. If you have a jewelry loss and choose to cash out, the insurance company will usually only pay you an amount equal to what they can replace the item for through their sources.
Most insurance companies do not require that an appraisal be from an independent appraiser although this is thought to be true by some in the industry. Assuming that you are insuring a diamond engagement ring the important factor for the insurance company is that it be accurately and completely described with the current market value.
The appraisal should contain a reference to any Diamond Grading Report that might accompany the diamond, along with a complete description of the mounting into which the diamond is set. The insurance company will decide if they will insure the ring based on the description in the appraisal. Many insurance companies are now requiring that an appraisal be performed by a Graduate Gemologist with additional training in appraisal theory.
Most homeowner's policies offer a jewelry coverage policy. You should check with your agent and ask what their requirements are. You should find out what they cover, and equally important, what they don't cover. If you rent your home or apartment, it is possible to purchase a renter's policy which can also include jewelry coverage. It is not necessary to have a homeowner's policy. If you rent a home you can still get insurance.
How To Find The Finest Wedding Jewellery
In these early times it is suggested that jewellery was
not solely for adornment but also was used as a form of commodity. Jewellery was created as a way of storing wealth and items were also produced to pin together clothes.
Jewellery has been created to dress every single part of the body. Jewellery has been used over the years for a number of different purposes. Jewellery has been used as; an item of currency; an item for functional use such as pins, clasps and buckets; a method of showing status or membership of a group; an item that protects from spirits; and an item of artistic display. All of these different uses are still in use but nevertheless the most popular of these uses is as decoration.
Archaeologists and historians have discovered a wealth of information about Jewellery and as a result the history of Jewellery is extremely well informed. Jewellery has had a vast range of different uses over time and different cultures have used jewellery in different ways. As a result it offers us an interesting insight into different cultures and different times. The use of jewellery has endured for many thousands of years and the diversity in uses of jewellery tells us a great deal about the time and culture of the societies which used jewellery.
Jewellery is so old that it has been found alongside dinosaur bones. In Russia bracelets were found that were made out of the tusks of a mammoth and crude necklaces made of animal sinew adorned with pieces of bone or teeth and many of these ancient forms of jewellery included the use of shells. Copper jewellery has been found that dates back to a much more recent, yet nevertheless ancient, seven thousand years ago.
There is a great deal of evidence of Jewellery from the Ancient Egyptian time period. Expected to date back as far as 5000 years ago the Jewellery created by the Egyptians often comprised of gold which was treasured for its properties of rarity and luxury. Gold was relatively easy to work into desirable functions and as a result became very popular.
The role of jewellery developed further in the Middle East 4000 years ago. The jewellery maker in these times and in these cultures produced jewellery that incorporated a great deal of gold and precious stones.
This type of jewellery was most reminiscent of the types of jewellery that we have today. The jewellery makers produced magnificent artefacts including the tight fitting collar necklace and pins that were adorned with precious stones. It was also around this time that amulets and ankle bracelets were very popular. These jewel makers were meticulous in their techniques and really developed the standards of jewel making.

Of course, you don't necessarily have to get the birthstone for her specific birthday; you can choose based on her favorite color, or even the date of her graduation.

History of Family Crest Rings
Jewelry has been used by men and women for wealth storage and for personal adornment for tens of thousands of years. Heraldic jewelry, such as the family crest ring, has roots squarely grounded hundreds of years ago, in the Middle Ages. In those long-ago times, several specific types of heraldic jewelry were designed for practical reasons as well as for their beauty. A prime example is the family crest ring.
During the Middle Ages, family crest rings were beautiful pieces of jewelry that were used by members of the nobility to identify themselves as lords of the manor. Family crest rings can still be used to signify family membership, although now they are also used as a decorative fashion accessory.
Designs Used in Family Crest Rings:
The surface of the top of a family crest ring is engraved with a graphic, heraldic device called a family crest. Some people use the term "family crest" interchangeably with the heraldic terms "coat-of-arms" or "family shield." But technically, a family crest is only one component in the design of a coat-of -arms, usually the uppermost portion that stands on top of an armor helmet that is depicted in the coat-of-arms. The stylized
representations which we now think of as being family crests originated as displays sitting atop actual armored helmets worn by knights during Medieval battles and
tournaments.
A variety of patterns, colors and devices may be used in family crests, with some of the more common devices being a hand or arm holding a weapon, a lion, a horse, a dragon, or an eagle's or other bird's wings. Each of the components of a family crest has a specific meaning, and together they tell a story about the progenitor of that family and his deeds. No matter which elements are used in the design of family crests, they are always symbolic,stylistic and stunning.
Family Crest Rings Can Be Useful As Well As Beautiful:
Although the need to identify themselves by wearing family crest rings has long past, many individuals even today wear family crest rings as a means of symbolically linking to their family history and heritage. In countries where the noble class still exists, family crest rings can also be a status symbol - they serve as an instant identifier of the wearer's level in society. Even today, a fine family crest ring is a uniquely appropriate gift
for a man or woman of high accomplishment or high social status.
Family crest rings are often made of precious metals such as gold, silver or platinum. The arresting appearance of high-quality pieces, with their intricately engraved detail, captivates anyone who sees one. Their visual appeal can be enhanced even more if they are enameled with vivid colors or set with precious gemstones.
Family crest rings have become extremely popular because of their attractive designs and the family history that they signify. The pageantry and the magnificence of the Medieval world are quickly brought to mind by these beautiful rings with their highly stylized, intricate designs.
History and heritage, perfectly and beautifully symbolized by family crest rings.
Custom Military Rings
Each and every day, men and women in the military protect us, and protect our freedom, through their selfless sacrifice. We honor and respect them for their service in the armed forces and for their dedication. And they are proud of their efforts and the traditions of
the military.
We cannot think of a better way for them to show their pride than a custom military ring that is a visual symbol of their service. We cannot think of a better way for us to honor them than with a custom military ring that reflects their strength of character and their
commitment to protect us all. In short, a custom military ring is a uniquely appropriate way to reflect a person's service in the armed forces, either past or present.
Custom military rings can use any one of three basic types of designs:
1. The first type of design is a somewhat ornate ring that is very similar to a school ring or class ring. These types of custom military rings usually have a large semi-precious gem, crystal or colored stone set in the center. They also have several different
designs engraved partway down the sides of the band on each side of the central stone.
2. The second basic design that is used is a more streamlined, elegant ring with flowing, "clean" lines. This type of custom military ring sometimes consists solely of engraved precious metal at the top of the ring, but other times these rings are set with a
central semi-precious gem, crystal or other stone. The sides of the band of this type of ring are usually not decorated, and the ring has a strong, masculine appearance.
3. The third type of basic design for a custom military ring is a signet ring or seal ring that utilizes military coats of arms or insignia as the "seal" at the top of the ring. There is no center stone with this design.
Customization Options for custom military rings:
Any of these three basic designs can be customized by using one of the specific, highly symbolic heraldic-type crests, shields, coats-of-arms or insignia that are so frequently used in the military. A custom military ring can be designed to reflect a person's service in a specific division, regiment, battalion, fleet, or other military or
naval unit. Custom military rings can also be designed to show that a person served in the armed forces during a particular war or a particular series of battles: World War 2 rings, Korean War rings, Vietnam War rings and Operation Desert Storm rings are all examples of military rings that have been customized in this way. Still other types of custom military rings incorporate the design of a specific combat medal or badge, or a specific rank insignia, into their design. Custom military rings even exist for ex-Prisoners of War.
A military ring can also be customized by engraving on the band the initials or name of the person who will be wearing it. This type of personalization further customizes a military ring and makes it doubly meaningful.
Custom military rings are stunning pieces of jewelry:
Custom military rings are usually made of precious metals such as gold, silver or platinum, and high-quality pieces have intricate detail. If a military crest, coat of arms or other heraldic device has been enhanced by being enameled, or if the center of the ring is
inset with a colored gemstone, a custom military ring is quite striking.
Our soldiers and sailors are proud and faithful servants, always there when we need them. Each and every one of them would be proud to wear a deeply symbolic, visually stunning custom
The History Of Wedding Jewellery
Although this wedding jewellery was created thousands of years ago word jewellery developed from the Latin word 'jocale' which meant plaything. This developed into the French word 'jouel' which was in use in the 13th century and this word has developed into the word we used today. The American version of the word spells it slightly differently as jewelry.
Jewellery has had played a number of different roles in society aside from adornment. Jewellery has also been a method of storing wealth and it has also been used as a commodity as well as being used as a pin to connect items of clothing. Jewellery has been used in the transfer of goods and was used in cultures that used the barter system to trade.
Jewellery has also been an important aspect of showing wealth and status within a society with the richest and most esteemed members of the society displaying jewellery. It has also been used as a method of artistic display and also found a use in some cultures and religions to ward away evil spirits. Jewellery has also been used in many situations as a method of indicating membership of a group. But despite the wide variety of different uses jewellery is most popularly used as a form of decoration of the body and has been used to adorn all parts of the body.
There is a great deal of information on jewellery that has been collated over many years. Numerous archaeologists have devoted chunks of their lives to researching jewellery and as a result there is a great amount of quality information about the roles that it has played in the world and the types of jewellery that have existed. The main reason for the interest in jewellery is that it often gives a very good insight into cultures and societies at different times throughout history. Jewellery also tends to be preserved very well and is therefore very rewarding for archaeologists and historians as they can often find complete examples of jewellery that was used in the past.
Jewellery has been found that is as old as dinosaur bones. Bracelets have been found in Russia that were created out of the tusks of a woolly mammoth. Crude necklaces have also been found that are made up of pieces of bone and teeth. There has also been examples of copper jewellery that have been dug up that date back seven thousand years. Jewellery from ancient Egyptian times is expected to date back around 5000 years and in this time gold was treasured as a rare commodity and was a signal of luxury. The reason gold became so popular is that it is relatively easy to work and as a result could be fashioned into desirable functions.
Why Girls Really Love Diamonds
One thing you have to remember is that when buying diamond rings as an engagement proposal, you should spend plenty of time selecting the perfect style, cut, clarity, carat and colour. These are the ever-important four C's, which all avid fans of diamond stone will have become familiar with. This will help you when selecting a perfect diamond set ring, without, which could lead to you wasting your money on something that will in time change in quality.
The four C's is simple to remember and refers to the quality of the diamond. The cut of the diamond is self-explanatory but for those who are unfamiliar with this term, it is quite simply how well the diamond reflects the light back. This has nothing to with shape, so do not get this confused. Diamonds reflect light in many directions, they have that hypnotic twinkle and clean look. This is what attracts women to this studly gem, as it will make heads turn. Therefore, if you get the cut right then you are only a quarter of the way through finding the perfect ring.
Diamond rings come in different cuts, which are as follows; ideal cut diamonds reflect onto the table that stretch across from one end of the table to the other. Fine cut diamonds are slightly wider but still a good quality to buy. Shallow cut and deep cut diamonds tend to be the poorer cut diamonds, which lack the fiery and scintillating reflective effect.
The clarity of a diamond refers to any blemishes or inclusions on the stone, such as air bubbles, cracks and some non-mineral inclusions within the diamond. The diamond itself has not been formed in a crystal clean and controlled environment therefore, there are bound to be flaws that develop with it. They are measured by letters, which include F (flawless), IF (Internally flawless), VSI (Very slightly included) and I (Included). There are more categories with each letter signifying their worth and value, obviously F is the most expensive and highest quality diamond.
All diamond rings come with a certain measured weight, which is where carat comes in. As the carat goes the up on a diamond stone, the price will become increasingly expensive. Try not to get this confused with 'karat', which is used to measure, the weight of gold. One carat is approximately 2oo milligrams; therefore, how the diamond is formed it is harder to find bigger diamonds, which makes it more expensive and rare. A typical half-carat platinum diamond ring will cost roughly 1500 pounds, depending on where you go to buy it.
The final part to the four C's is the colour. This is generally determined by it formation process, therefore the whiter the diamond the greater its value. A diamond does not change colour over time and reflects light strongly making it appear more lustrous.
However, as mentioned earlier, if you find your diamond is changing colour over time, it could be a potential fake as no diamond changes colour. Some diamonds can appear lightly yellow or brown, but they do not change and stay the same. Letters grade colour, which is similar to cut. The difference is that from A-E, the diamond will be colourless or near colourless. Anything beyond will lower the quality and value of the gemstone.
Now that you have become more familiar with the terms and how to measure your diamonds, you are now wondering why girls love their diamond rings. It is not so much the thought of having something that over time will increase in value, nor is it the fact it is one of the strongest gems around, but it is a socially constructed stereotype that put women in front of this idea of having something look stunning in their possessions. Unfortunately, there is no one answers to this question; women have their own taste in jewellery.
The majority of the female population appreciate this fiery unbreakable gem, for its mesmerising twinkle, value and long-lasting properties. This piece of jewellery will turn simple coloured clothing into a glamorous outfit, so if it makes us look good then we will use it over and again.

Here’s How To Get A Whiter, Bright Smile
Whitening the teeth procedures are a valuable way to lighten the color of the teeth and leaves the surface of the tooth intact. Unfortunately teeth whitening procedures will only lighten the existing color of the teeth. With only a few that are truly blessed with very white teeth it is difficult for many to achieve that great white smile. Teeth seem to discolor as we grow up leaving our smile less than sparkling.
Our teeth can also be stained on the enamel because of the food and drink we eat. Coffee, tea, and red wine will discolor our teeth. Smoking is another cause of teeth discoloration. Most people may encounter staining beneath the surface which is caused by minute cracks in the teeth or certain antibiotics that absorb the stains.
The most common way to lighten teeth is by bleaching. Always get the approval and recommendation of your dentist before you begin a teeth bleaching treatment. This method is done by putting a special gel or rubber guard on the soft tissue and then the bleaching solution will be applied to the teeth with the use of a special mouth shaped tray.
Laser whitening, otherwise known as power whitening, is often considered the best teeth whitening method. It is however rather expensive which makes it unaffordable to many.
The whitening effect of laser whitening can often last up to three years. Of course you are advised to avoid teeth discoloring activities such as smoking, drinking coffee and red wine, and eating products and snacks that may stain the teeth as well. Some people report a sensitivity of the tooth after laser whitening; however, they usually go away within a few days.
There are other methods of whitening for your teeth; the aforementioned ones were just the most popular. The most expensive, longest lasting, option is to have porcelain installed to cover your teeth. The cost can be significant but the results last for 15 years. There's nothing like the feeling you get when you flash that perfect smile.
Keeping in touch with beauty and fashion during your wedding trip
Your wedding attire
There are two main considerations when planning your outfit for a wedding abroad. You need to find something that you will be comfortable wearing, especially if you're getting married in the sunshine, and you also need to choose something that you can transport relatively easily.
If the temperature on your wedding day is likely to be very cool, a 'float' beach dress probably isn't the perfect choice. Look for something that will suit the environment - more of a traditional ball gown-style wedding gown, for example. Equally, consider accessories such as shoes. Pretty beach sandals aren’t the thing for walking around the castle grounds. Instead consider a high heel shoe.
What you wear for your wedding is entirely up to you and there are no real dress rules if you are marrying in the grounds of your hotel. However, if you have arranged for a religious service in a chapel or church you will most likely be expected to respect local custom and cover your head and shoulders. Also in some Eastern countries, such as Thailand there is a specific dress code. Your wedding coordinator or the relevant embassy will advise you.
Transporting and caring for your outfits
When you choose your perfect dress, speak to the designer or store about how best to transport it. It may pack well with plenty of tissue paper, or could be better kept in a dress bag.
Check with your airline for advice on transporting your wedding outfits. Some recommend that they should be boxed or packed into separate suitcases. They will then be placed into the hold. Others suggest that you use suit carriers and, space permitting, they will be hung in the cabin of the aircraft. Outfits can always be carried as hand luggage but this will restrict you to keeping the rest of your hand luggage to a minimum.
As soon as you arrive at your hotel, unpack your wedding outfits and hang them up. A warm and humid tropical climate should allow creases to fall out naturally. However, your hotel or your wedding coordinator can normally arrange for your outfits to be steamed if necessary. Alternatively, hang clothes in a steam-filled bathroom which will help the creases drop out.
Hair and beauty
Hair and beauty treatments can be arranged when you arrive at your hotel, or you might even decide to book things before you arrive. If your hotel does not have these facilities, ask whether there is somewhere you can visit nearby. For total peace of mind, practice styling your own hair and make-up before setting off.
You're likely to want to have a healthy tan on your wedding day, but basking in the sun before the wedding isn't a good idea. As well as damaging your skin, you run the risk of looking more like a lobster than a sun-kissed bride. Pace you’re sunbathing on the run-up to your wedding or help nature along with a good quality fake tan. If you're doing your own fake tan, be sure to practice well in advance.
Making eyes at you
Here we see another cute photo of Amal, lazing on her tummy while fixating longingly at the camera. She’s wearing an argentum colored eye shadow with light makeup. They say you can tell what’s in a girl’s mind by gazing into her eyes. What do her eyes say?
We don’t know about you, but we think this chick is kinda cute!
At Exam Center
Here’s a scene that’s often seen at our colleges. A pretty desi girl sitting an exam at a college somewhere in remote Sindh. Her shalwar kameez seems to be made out of the sheer “lawn” material, made of cotton. The sea-green clothes contrast starkly with the brown background. What’s really interesting is that the lady behind her is also wearing blue/green!
4 of Kind
Pakistan is home to a staggering range of ethnicities, ranging from Hazarajat to Makrani, and everything in between. The four provinces contain a large number of subethnicities and diverse languages. In this picture we see four beautiful ladies posing for Pakistan, one for each region.
Happy independence day everyone!
Independenc Day
Pakistani girls all dressed up for the 14th of August celebrations. Brandishing flags painted green and white, Pakistani girls sure know how to celebrate their national day. Today is the 61st independence day of Pakistan. This means that someone who was born at midnight, the 14th of August 1947 is 61 years old now.
Pakistan came into existence 61 years ago as a country for the Muslims of India. Born after great sacrifices by people from across India, Pakistan was a dream turned into reality by the magnificient personalities of Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Allama Iqbal.
Sana with Friend
This elegant lady has just sent us her picture. Sana’s apparently a Pakistani girl, posing here with her friend (or is it cousin?).
One’s wearing deep blue (with a hint of turquioise), while her mate wears pink that’s extensively embellished with what appears to be ornamental beads. These ladies appear to be Southern Punjabis.
Field Trip
Cute Pakistani chicks on a field trip up in northern Pakistan. Lots of peole like to travel to the northern regions of Punjab, NWFP, Azad Kashmir and the Northern Areas to spend time in the serene mountainous surroundings.
In this photograph, we see a group of students in what seems like the upper reaches of the Hazara district, probably Kaghan. In the background is a red Chinese manufactured jeep (probably fitted with a Toyota diesel engine like the rest of them in Pakistan).
Girl in Pink
A beautiful Pathan girl from a university in Peshawar stands before the imposing ochre building running her fingers through her auburn tresses, lost in thought. The leafy foliage creates a serene backdrop to this photograph, imposing an almost melancholy ambience. Feminine beauty that makes you contemplate about the mysteries of life.
The Frontier province today is ravaged with violence, an unfathomable tragedy to the immense natural beauty and legendary people of the region. Here’s to the beautiful ladies of Pakhtoonkhwa!
Hijab Girls
Here we see two friends, one of whom is wearing a hijab. Pakistani girls come in a variety of shapes, sizes and of course dress codes…not least of which is the hijab. Hijab is an Islamic dress code which entails the covering of the hair.
Unlike the commonly held stereotypical belief, however, hijab does not include covering of the face. Face covering(known niqab) are not an Islamic dress code, but actually derived from the culture of the Arab bedouins and has no basis in Islamic injunctions.
Zunaira
Zunaira has sent her pictures to us without specifying which city in Pakistan she’s from. This looks like a somewhat professionally done photoshoot.
In some of the pictures we see Zunaira wearing a Pakistani shalwar kameez suit, while in othes she’s sporting a western front-button down shirt. We think she’s rather cute - what about you?
Peshawar Girl
A cute babe from Peshawar is seen posing here for the camera in what appears to be a self shot. Peshawar girls are renowned for their good looks and fair complexion. This lady appears to have some very attractive facial features, including lovely eyes and lashes (are they real?). She’s also wearing pink lip gloss.
Warda
Wardah, the hot babe from Lahore appears again in another picture. Here she’s seen wearing a pink shalwar kameez posing in front of a mirror.
Wardah is studying at the University of South Asia and enjoys posing for the camera. We wish her the best for her future and hope she keeps sending us these cool pics!
Teachers from the Punjab
A group of school teachers from a rural area in the Punjab have sent us their pictures. These two ladies seem to be relaxing during school hours, probably taking a break from work. Though no students can be seen in the background, the setting reveals what appears to be neem trees and shoddy rural brickwork of the type seen in Punjabi hamlets.
Contemplation
A beautiful Pakistani girl overlooks a bustling Western city through what appears to be a glass elevator. Lost in thought, she projects a serenity of form that makes for a rather dramatic photographic effect. Her black bag glistens in the crisp afternoon sun as she silhouettes the crisp azure sky.
Notice the creases on her outfit creating an intense interplay of light and shadow. Whoever thought contemplation could be this beautiful?
Girls at a Mehndi
Here we see a throng of girls at a Pakistani mehndi event. Mehndi, Urdu for henna, is a traditional ceremony performed before a Pakistani wedding. Both the bride and the groom are decorated with elaborate body art created out of henna leaves, with the bride apparently getting more of the attention.
Combine botanical body art with nice music and curiously ethnic dance moves and you get a traditional “Mehndi”. Part of a four day wedding event, Mehndi can be great fun for everybody involved.
On the banks of the Ravi
Here we find a group of three beautiful Lahori chicks posing upon some steps. As lovely and vivacious as ever, these girls from Lahore prove yet again that when it style, this ancient city on the banks of the Ravi will always be on the forefront in South Asia.
We’ll be putting up more pictures of these beauties, so stay tuned!
Rayshum from Lahore
Beautiful babe Rayshum from the city of Lahore is seen here in a variety of poses. Innocence combined with exuberance can be a exquisite combination, as is apparent from the photos submitted by this beauty.
Rayshum is extraordinarily enthusiastic about getting her pictures published on the website.
