If you happen to mix a bit of Indian and Western attires, you might end up looking a little crazy. However, if the 28-year-old Lady Gaga happens to wear a dress which has touch of both, 'gorgeous' will be the outcome. Of late, we have seen a lot of Hollywood beauties in Bollywood attires looking just about superb. Lady Gaga too has tried her hand at a Bollywood dress and she has given us the best look we could ever have imagined. The eccentric singer, who loves to wear uncanny clothing, was recently spotted outside her home in NYC wearing a red pant and top and looking more like an Indian bride. The vermilion Indian bridal colour on the beauty made her look sensational and stunning. Sources claim that Lady Gaga isn't interested in marriage. But she is very keen on trying every bridal attire. From accessories to headdresses, Lady Gaga's bridal collection seems to be way better than anything that comes across as being 'usual'.

This Indian bridal look of Lady Gaga ranks as the best in her bridal collection. We have also seen the beauty in Indian wear before, but this bridal look is somehow the best of the lot. Here is a collection of Lady Gaga's bridal looks, take a look:

There are many cliches about beauty. Who has not heard of the popular saying that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. That old adage now has been rewritten as beauty lies in the hands of the skilled cosmetic surgeon.

Though the pain and perils of cosmetic surgery are well-known but the quest for lasting youth and beauty has meant that more people than ever before are willing to undergo surgery. But what if all that is sought after is possible after just a few painless pin-pricks? Acupuncture, popularly thought to have originated in China offers the possibility of taking years off one's face and other parts of the body.

Lacotse Catherine, a 49 year-old French lady living in India, decided to try acupuncture for her sagging facial skin and crow's feet and is happy with the results.

She says, with a broad smile on her face, "I took about 10-12 sessions for this problem but I also had other health problems when I first started getting acupuncture done. After the sessions, even my husband commented on the change in my face." And husbands do not lie, especially when it comes to being brutally honest about their wives' appearance.

Both, Dr Raman Kapur and his wife Sunita Kapur are treating Catherine for cosmetic acupuncture.

"When it comes to wrinkles, in acupuncture we can only do a seven millimeter pull of the skin around the wrinkle. If a wrinkle requires more than that to be straightened, then the wrinkle cannot be removed", says Dr Raman Kapur.

That is why those who practice acupuncture do not call it a facelift, the term otherwise popularly used by cosmetic surgeons.

Acupuncture remedies

Acupuncture can and does offer remedies for many cosmetic problems like sagging facial skin, double chin, sagging breasts, breast augmentation, bags under the eyes, upper and lower medial eye areas, reducing male breasts, forehead wrinkles, cheeks, upper and lower epigastria area (middle of the stomach), obesity, sagging upper arm, obesity and cellulite.

Acupuncture needles stimulate collagen (protein) synthesis, which is how the wrinkles get smoothened out. The needles also increase blood supply to facial tissues and that is how the skin starts looking radiant and blemish free.

But for the effect to be permanent, the organ or organs responsible for the damage also needs to be treated. If your internal organs work well, then your face will show it. For instance, if the spleen channel (not to be confused with the organ) is deficient then the body will be prone to loose skin, cellulite and varicose veins. And that is why with ageing, when the energy flow of the channels reduces, wrinkles start appearing and the skin starts sagging.

Catherine puts it succinctly when she says, "Basically your disease is visible on your face in acupuncture."

Since we live in an imperfect world, there have to be caveats to what seems to be the discovery of a cosmetic heaven. If the skin is long gone due to the body's natural degenerative process then acupuncture offers little hope. And if the sagging part of the body needs more than a seven millimeter pull, then too acupuncture offers little hope.

Jane Becker, a composer and solo pianist, celebrated her 50th Birthday at the dermatologist, paying $1,500 for shots of Restylane and Botox, but three months later, their wrinkle-smoothing effects wore off. So, she turned to a less-artificial youth tonic: facial acupuncture.

Like many women who have tried acupuncture in pursuit of beauty, Becker hoped that having needles strategically inserted into her face would be cheaper and last longer than her birthday injections. Becker, now 53, started with 10 sessions in five weeks ( $1000) and has gone for monthly maintenance since.

I can really see a difference in my face, said Becker, who sees a licensed acupuncturist in Minneapolis. "It looks younger, smoother, brighter and uplifted." Early adopters like Becker first spread word of the virtues of a so-called acupuncture face lift. Before the 2005 Academy Awards, a crew of facial acupuncturists descended on Soho House, a makeshift celebrity hangout in Los Angeles, and A-listers jumped at the chance to transform their skin from the inside out.

Cosmetic acupuncture has caught the attention of more of the wrinkled public. Its holistic approach appeals in particular to women who want to slow signs of aging but do not want to undergo surgery or to inject chemicals.

Whether it is called facial rejuvenation, acupuncture face-lift or cosmetic acupuncture, the aim is to tackle wrinkles, muscle tension that may be causing unsightly lines, as well as systematic issues standing between you and glowing skin.

What does a cosmetic acupuncture session involve?

1. Application of local anesthetic cream on the face.

2. Using body acupuncture points to improve the flow of Qi and blood.

3. Tonifying the jaw muscles and tightening them.

4. Points on cheek, around eye, along nasolabial fold, chin line.

5. Use of special cosmetic needles on the face.

6. After removal of needles, special Jade roller is used for massage.

7. Entire treatment is totally painless and it is a one hour treatment session.

8. An average patient requires twice a week treatment for 6 weeks and thereafter once a month for maintenance of facial rejuvenation.

9. The cost of per treatment session is Rs. 2500.

'Chickens picked from floor, washed in filthy water... then sold on to your supermarket': Investigation launched into claims contaminated poultry is being sold on the high street

 

Supermarkets have launched emergency investigations following claims that contaminated chicken is being sold on the high street.

 

Whistleblowers say the public is being put at risk because of suspect practices at two of the largest UK poultry processors, the 2 Sisters Food Group and Faccenda.

 

A hygiene alert has been raised around factories and farms supplying chicken to Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Aldi, Marks & Spencer and Nando’s.

 

The allegations, which are denied by the two firms, have prompted Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Marks & Spencer to launch inquiries into the way their chicken is produced.

 

Concerns about poor hygiene standards come at a time of mounting concern that supermarkets are failing to protect customers from food-poisoning bug campylobacter – which is most often found on raw chicken, and is responsible for around 100 deaths a year.

 

An official study published in 2009 found two thirds of all fresh chicken on shelves was contaminated with it.

The whistleblowers claim failures they saw at the operations run by 2 Sisters and Faccenda are likely to spread bugs.

 

The allegations, which first appeared on The Guardian website, are denied by the companies, while the supermarkets all insist that their own audit systems ensure that the meat reaching the high street is safe. The insiders claim that:

 

Chickens that fell off the production line and on to the floor at two factories run by 2 Sisters were routinely put back into the food chain;

 

Mechanical failures meant material at risk of being contaminated – feathers, guts and offal – would be left to pile up for hours while production continued at a 2 Sisters factory in Wales;

 

An equipment failure meant around 250,000 dead birds were passed through dirty water at the start of the food production process;

 

A chicken catcher at a factory farm run by Faccenda claimed biosecurity rules designed to stop the spread of campylobacter were routinely ignored.

 

The alert was raised after the Daily Mail revealed how supermarkets have been secretly lobbying official watchdogs to stop them naming and shaming stores selling contaminated chicken.

 

Yesterday, the board of the Food Standards Agency decided to drop a previous pledge to publish quarterly surveys identifying which stores are selling chicken contaminated with the bug.

 

The decision followed pressure from retailers, producers and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

 

The move was widely criticised by food safety experts, academics, consumer groups and even several of the board members.

 

Erik Millstone, of the University of Sussex, said: ‘The decision of the FSA board is deeply disappointing, and shows it has abandoned its commitment to put the interests of consumers ahead of the interests of the food industry.’

 

The allegations about the two food firms were partly based on information supplied by Ron Spellman, director general of EWFC, which represents meat inspectors across the EU.

 

EWFC has been lobbying against a scaling back of inspections at meat plants that have been introduced by the EU and backed by the FSA.

 

Tesco said: ‘We take these allegations of poor practice against one of our suppliers extremely seriously, and have launched an immediate investigation.

 

‘Customers can be assured that we conduct our own stringent quality checks on fresh chicken received from suppliers before it is placed on shelves, so we can be confident that it meets our very high quality and safety standards.’

 

Sainsbury’s said: ‘Customers can be confident in the safety of products bought from our stores. We perform regular independent and in-house checks to ensure these standards are met and are investigating these allegations with 2 Sisters.’

 

M&S said: ‘We take food safety very seriously and regularly audit all of our suppliers to ensure they meet our strict codes of practice. We do not tolerate any alleged breach of our standards and have launched an immediate investigation into these allegations.’

 

Asda referred enquiries to its suppliers. Both Nando’s and KFC said they were confident that their suppliers operate to high hygiene and welfare standards.

 

Aldi said: ‘We take any claims of this nature very seriously. Aldi works with our suppliers to ensure the high standards we expect are adhered to.’

 

The allegations of malpractice relate to 2 Sisters’ plants in Anglesey, Wales, and Scunthorpe, and a farm and abattoir operated by Faccenda.

 

2 Sisters said: ‘The allegations about our processing sites are untrue, misleading and inaccurate. Both have British Retail Consortium “A” grade Food Standards certifications, based on a number of announced and unannounced visits.

 

‘Our Scunthorpe site has already surpassed the Food Standards Agency’s 2013 targets to reduce campylobacter levels, and continues to work towards the 2015 target.’

 

Faccenda said: ‘We operate under the Red Tractor standard, and are always looking for ways to further improve.

 

'We are investing heavily across our business to identify ways of reducing the risk of campylobacter.’
