Furry friends join festive season in sherwanis, sarees and lehengas

The second half of the year in India brims with lights, colours and the usual festive excitement. As webring out our traditional best, from shimmering sarees to tailored sherwanis, our furry friends are no longer being left behind. Across India, pet brands are now designing intricate sherwanis, tiny lehengas, and cute blouses, ensuring that cats and dogs can celebrate the season in equally stylish fashion.

Furry friends join festive season in sherwanis, sarees and lehengas

Thechowmeow, a Rajasthan-basedbrand delivering pan India, dresses furry babies in blouses, lehengas, and sherwanis. “For me, including pets in festivals by making them wear traditional outfits is just a way of showing love to your furry friends that they are also our family members. I have gotten many orders for matching outfits this season, like lehenga choli, sherwani with dhoti, and anarkali dresses, all under ₹1,000,” says founder Vandana Suman.

She uses laces for detailing and matching fabrics. For shimmery or other fabrics, they always use a lining inside, along with velcro and straps to adjust, so the pet feels comfortable while walking and sitting.

Shreya Goyal, founder of Delhi-based Furrvanity, tells us that they often get colour swatches, outfit pictures, and even design references from clients who want their pets’ looks to match theirs perfectly. “This year, we’re really going all out with variety and craftsmanship. We have some unique pieces like Maharashtrian sarees, kurtas with half jackets, intricately embroidered lehengas, anarkalis, and angrakhas. Our sarees have been an absolute hit this year, catching everyone’s eye,” she adds.

The festive range starts from ₹999 and goes up to ₹5,000, depending on the design, detailing, and level of customisation.

WRAPINFUR, an online pet brand, lines their outfits with pure cotton to protect sensitive pet skin, with prices starting from ₹649 “We use cotton lining inside if we are using fabric and make sure it is designed in such a way that it doesn’t irritate the pet. We also provide a hassle-free size exchange, since many pet parents are often unsure about their pet’s exact measurements,” says founder Chinmaye Agarwal.

It’s a sentiment that resonates deeply with pet parents as well. Mumbai-based Simran Singh dresses her beagle, Poppins in festive clothing in a new colour each year to see which one suits him best. “We think he looks the cutest in a bandhgala kurta. Diwali just feels incomplete if Poppins isn’t wearing a sparkly kurta for the evening puja,” she adds.

Delhi-based Priyanka Kapoor dresses her golden retriever, Alex, in matching outfits, often customised by her local tailor. “I love dressing him up, but his comfort comes first,” she says.

It’s All Her Fault: A Tribute to Cindy Walker

Grey DeLisle & Friends

Hummin’bird

10 October 2025

Songwriter Cindy Walker’s name is well-known to country music fans. Her songs have charted more than 400 times, recorded by icons such as Ray Charles, Bob Wills, Roy Orbison, and Elvis Presley. Willie Nelson released an entire album devoted to Walker’s work: (You Don’t Know Me: The Songs of Cindy Walker) back in 2006. She has been celebrated for her ability to capture emotional moments in everyday situations that define our lives, such as meeting an old lover, aging gracefully, and dreaming of a better future.

Grey DeLisle, a longtime admirer of Cindy Walker, is best known for her voice acting work, but she’s also a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter. With her own deep roots in music, DeLisle recognizes the significance of Walker’s legacy as a pioneering country music auteur. So when she learned that Walker’s childhood home was deteriorating, she rallied a group of female country artists to record a tribute album. The proceeds will support the restoration efforts led by the Cindy Walker Foundation.

The results are outstanding, which is not surprising considering the talents of those contributing to the project and Walker’s songwriting prowess. Highlights include Amythyst Kiah’s solo acoustic rendition of “Goin’ Away Party”, a tearjerker sung with an intimate sneer; Mandy Barnett’s swinging “Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream), and Gail Davies’ weepy “Warm Red Wine”. While the individual tracks all have merit, there is not a weak cut on the record; the results are serendipitously better than the sum of its parts.

Taken as a whole, the album reveals Walker’s ability to celebrate and entertain as well as comfort and console with the knowledge that all these emotions are an essential part of just living. Her narrators understand the thin, semipermeable line that separates happiness from sadness. Walker’s lyrics are lightened by a sense of humor and a drop or two of alcohol. Several of the songs are barroom ballads, such as Summer Dean’s blissfully bluesy “Don’t Talk to Me About Men”, that put a tear in your beer and a smile on your face.

Some songs benefit from having a female perspective, but were not originally written with it in mind. Rosie Flores does a plaintive version of the classic “You Don’t Know Me” (penned initially for Eddy Arnold). Flores lets the lyrics do the heavy lifting. This approach enhances the song’s melodrama. Instead of sobbing, Flores’ stoicism makes the pain sharper. The fact that a female protagonist delivers the message suggests a different set of sexual politics.

In contrast, Kelly Willis croons, “I Don’t Care” with an ache in her throat. She expresses the absence of hurt and subsequent happiness by implying how bad she would feel without finding love.  Brennan Leight and Grey DeLisle take this a step further on the bubbly “You’ve Got My Heart Doing a Tap-Dance”. There’s not a drop of sadness in this song!

Other seemingly happy songs include Kimmi Bitter’s lively “Hey, Mr. Bluebird”, whose lyrics convey a deep depression (“I’ve been so lonesome that I could die / and tears like raindrops keep falling from my eyes”) sung in a light, lilting tone. One would think the narrator was joyful. Bitter disguises her despair by hiding it behind a cheerful sheen.

Walker plays it straight on songs like the breezy anthem “You’re From Texas”, brightly performed here by Katie Shore, Melissa Carper‘s loving “Take Me in Your Arms”, Ginny Mac’s doleful “The Day You Left Me”, and Mozzy Dee’s semi-confessional “It’s All Your Fault”. All of these songs have aged well and profit from finding new audiences through the latest renditions. Jolie Holland‘s clever take on “Don’t Be Ashamed of Your Age” explicitly makes that message clear. These songs may be oldies, but they remain goodies.

23-Year-Old Philadelphia Woman
Kada Scott Reported Missing
After Telling Friends She’d Been Receiving Harassing Phone Calls

#Philadelphia police are intensifying their search for 23-year-old Kada Scott, who went missing after work.

Authorities are combing the 55-acre Awbury Arboretum, working “north of Washington Lane,” with K-9 units, cadets, and detectives searching heavily wooded terrain. Investigators believe Scott “wasn’t voluntarily missing,” citing several red flags: she left her car behind, her phone is off, and she vanished from social media. Authorities also revealed that before her disappearance, Scott told friends she was being harassed via the phone by an unknown individual or individuals.

Scott was reportedly last seen at her job at The Terrace at Chestnut Hill, an assisted living facility. She’s 5 feet, 6 inches and weighs 120 pounds, police said. Her family remains hopeful and has urged anyone with information to contact police at 215-686-TIPS.

Jennifer Aniston Says A Friends Reboot Without Matthew Perry Is “Literally Impossible” | Glamsham.com

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Jennifer Aniston has made it clear that a Friends reboot or sequel is something she just can’t imagine doing, not without Matthew Perry.

In a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar U.K., published earlier this week, Aniston said it would be “literally, physically impossible” for her to return as Rachel Green following Perry’s passing. The actor, who played Chandler Bing on the beloved sitcom, died in 2023 at age 54 from the effects of ketamine, with additional health factors contributing.

“It’s heartbreaking that he had so many demons,” Aniston said. “But boy, for someone who had that much inner turmoil, he sure got to laugh a lot, and that was everything to him.”

Her words struck a deep chord with fans who still hold Friends close to their hearts. The series, which ran from 1994 to 2004, became one of the most iconic sitcoms in television history. Alongside Aniston and Perry, the show starred Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer. The six of them formed not just a legendary ensemble but also a genuine family behind the scenes.

Aniston recalled how much joy the cast found in working together. “It completely formed who I was. It was pure joy,” she said. “I couldn’t wait to get to work every day, to see those people, to read the new script.”

The last time the entire cast reunited was for Friends: The Reunion on HBO Max in 2021, an emotional moment that Perry was part of. Looking back now, Aniston described that event as even more meaningful. “We did everything we could when we could,” she said. “It almost felt like we’d been mourning Matthew for a long time because his battle was such a hard one to watch. As hard as it was for all of us and the fans, there’s a part of me that thinks this is better. I’m glad he’s out of that pain.”

Aniston’s remarks remind everyone how deeply connected the Friends cast was, and how the loss of one made a true reunion feel unimaginable. For now, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, and the rest will live on in the memories and laughter they’ve already given the world.

In a widely shared picture, he was seen eating at a small roadside eatery, with food served on a disposable leaf plate, or pattal, which included chapati, curry, and a dish resembling medu vada. Scroll down for images from his spiritual journey.

Alia Bhatt Enjoys Quality Time With Friends In Alibaug – See The Fun Photos | Glamsham.com

Alia Bhatt has finally given herself some much-needed time off from her hectic routine to spend some idle time with close friends at Alibagh. The actress was seen heading off to the seaside town on Thursday, escorting her husband Ranbir Kapoor along. Wearing a simple yet elegant white dress, Alia cut a fashionable figure, and social media immediately took notice.

Snapshots and clips of the getaway, posted by Instant Bollywood, quickly turned viral. Fans invaded the comment areas with heart emojis, complimenting Alia’s natural look and sunny aura.

Social Media Buzz: Deepika Reacts to Alia’s Look

Prior to leaving, Alia also posted a series of glam pictures on her Instagram. Looking elegant in a white Gucci cut-out dress and holding a high-end bag, she captioned the picture: “the good, the bads and the glam @gucci ⭐ All ready for the #TheBadsOfBollywood!”

The post won appreciation from numerous people, including actress Deepika Padukone, who said, “STUNNING!” Bhumi Pednekar and Alia’s mom Soni Razdan were also among the others who appreciated her style and demeanor.

Google Gemini’s “Hug My Younger Self” Trend Takes Over

While Alia’s vacation trended, another pattern is trending on the net — Google Gemini’s “Hug My Younger Self” image reimagination, driven by its AI tool Nano Banana.

This feature allows users to create realistic, polaroid-type images of themselves hugging their younger versions, producing emotionally charged images with just one prompt. Although many netizens have welcomed the feature for its originality, others say such AI features are likely to dilute original human creativity.

Nevertheless, the emotional pull of this trend has been felt far and wide, with many creations spreading on various platforms and demonstrating how AI is further remaking the manner in which we express identity and nostalgia.

Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber have no problems keeping up this friendship. 

The makeup moguls teamed for a sweet best friend moment as they used each other’s lip products while getting ready in the car. 

In a video Kylie posted to TikTok Sept. 15, the 28-year-olds can be seen wearing almost matching looks—Kylie in a black v-neck tank and Hailey in a white v-neck tank—as they apply lipstick together to create matching makeup looks. Kylie captioned the video—set to Hailey’s husband Justin Bieber’s song “Speed Demon”—“besties who lip combo.”

The duo appeared to be using a lip liner from Hailey’s Rhode brand, as well as another lip liner from Kylie Cosmetics. And their fans were clearly eager for a collab between the two makeup companies. 

“Rhode X Kylie cosmetics. We need!!!” one commented on TikTok. Another added, “THE GIRLS NEED KYLIE COSMETICS X RHODE.”

Meanwhile, one fan was more curious about the products they used, writing, “Okkk. But what shades we need to know girls.”
