Makes Us Proud!

Hi,
Just wanted to share my pride where fashionscandal.com was mentioned in the league of Economic Times and Outlook Magazine that wrote about Robert Vadra and DLF Nexus almost 18 months back.
Scroll down to read. (I have highlighted the section that mentions fashionscandal.com).
Fashionsandal.com was probably the first that posted on Robert Vadra and DLF deal way back in March 15, 2011. Here you can read it: http://fashionscandal.com/index.php/2011/03/robert-vadra-ties-up-with-dlf/

Robert Vadra & The Innocence Of Journalists

When Arvind Kejriwal announced a press meet on October 5 the media must have rushed to get some more interesting sound-bites on his new political party. They didn’t expect him to lay out alleged financial misdeeds of Robert Vadra (RV), the national son-in-law. All hell broke loose. Later, one anchor, who likes to see the larger picture, even asked if Team Arvind is going to target a BJP member next. I’ve never seen so many heavy weights coming out with guns blazing to defend one man. Some of them even claimed he’s a ‘private citizen’. Yes indeed, the sudden growth of RV to a billionaire is indeed a very private affair. There were Congresspersons of all voices and sizes. There was Rashid Alvi, Rajiv Shukla, Manish Tiwari, Renuka Chaudhary. They even threw in ministers like Salman Khurshid and also Jayanthi Natarajan, who made a sudden special appearance after a long gap. Khurshid even angrily stated: “We will teach Kejriwal a lesson”. Someone joked on Twitter if Khurshid is the Union Law Minister or the Union “In-Law” minister.
All this is nothing new. The Robert Vadra story has been doing the rounds for over a year now. It’s only the print media though, that was doing all the talking. TV news channels stuck to their Sharia which prohibits them from ‘blasphemy’ against the Sonia Gandhi clan. Private folks on Youtube showed greater courage and narrated RV’s story.
First, a bit about Robert Vadra’s billions. Economic Times (Robert Vadra ties up with DLF) was among the first to do a full story in March 2011. Then Outlook magazine did an analysis of the ET article with reactions from Opposition parties including the BJP. Here’s what Outlook said on March 18, 2011 (Tweets are highlighted in red):
On March 16, the TOI reported: BJP, Left to corner Cong on Vadra’s rise:
On Tuesday, leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj said, “The matter is a serious one and the party is gathering documents to aise it with the prominence it deserves.” She said the party had “entrusted” leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley to collect facts on Vadra’s rise. CPM leader Sitaram Yechury was on the same track.
On August 25, 2011 FashionScandal reported thus: “DLF, which is going through a financial crunch is also looking to divest its stake in the Hilton Group. Some feel that these divestments are aimed at distancing DLF from Robert Vadra owned Sky Light Hospitality Pvt. Ltd. DLF Hotel Holdings entered into partnership with Sky Light Hospitality Pvt. Ltd. but after that the group has been facing political heat from the Opposition parties”. So now that we have some background story we can get back to Rajdeep Sardesai. On pushing Dr.Swamy over why they aren’t going to courts, Swamy replied he had announced long back RV was third on his list after 2G and P.Chidambaram. This is correct. But it’s clearly shameful of Rajdeep to ask these stupid questions when TV channels even failed to discuss the RV reports in print/websites. Naturally, Dr.Swamy delivered a stinging slap to Rajdeep and others like Prabhu Chawla and Vinod Mehta when he pointed out the “innocence of journalists” in real estate scams. Ouch! That’s gonna hurt. What Swamy was clearly hinting at was that top media celebs and media houses were no exceptions when it came to real estate scams. Is it then a surprise that all the ‘media pawns’ were fighting so vigorously for Robert Vadra?

Lady Gaga Finally Wore Manish Arora (for Paco Rabanne)

On November 9, 2011, in fashion, gossip, scandal, sex, drugs, piracy, fake, business, government,, by jack

When Lady Gaga was in India for the F1 Indian Grand Prix, Fashionscandal posted that she would have done better if she would have opted to wear Manish Arora instead of Naeem Khan to showcase an Indian Connect. Here is the link to my post on the 30th October, 2011:

I do not know if Lady Gaga read our post or her stylist did but I was mightily happy to see Gaga in ensembles from Paco Rabanne’s Spring/Summer 2012 Collection, which was designed by Manish Arora for Paco Rabanne at the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards.

Manish Arora had Philip Treacy design Flying Saucer Hats, with slits for the eyes and Nicholas Kirkwood designed Crystal Heels. Incidentally Paco Rabanne was infamous for his interest in Paranormal Phenomena. For the final sequence Manish sent out models dressed as flowers from the future with massive circular metallic collars. 

Cheers to Manish Arora and also let me bask in the glory of the fact that Fashionscandal’s  advise being given heed to by Lady Gaga (though it may just be a coincidence ;) !

On February 6, 2011, in fashion, gossip, scandal, sex, drugs, piracy, fake, business, government,, by jack

Fashionscandal was the first to break the news of Manish Arora being appointed as the Creative director of Paco Rabanne. We published this as early as 22nd December 2010. Here is the link to that post:

http://fashionscandal.com/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=1088

Many rubbished the news but I stuck to it as it was TRUE. Truth wins and Fashionscandal is all about the TRUTH!

Manish Arora will showcase his first collection as the Paco Rabanne Creative Director during the Spring-Summer 2012 of Paris Fashion Week to be held in October 2011. Manish now virtually lives out of Paris and has quaint and cozy pad in the heart of Paris. Way to go Manish. You do us PROUD!
