Rashmi at Youthcurry is not at all pleased with the latest Lounge edition from livemint, which is trying to sell beachwear to the Indian public for Rs. 50,000 a piece (yeah you read that right):

But here is what REALLY took the cake. The black and white striped beach dress by Chanel for… Rs 50,000.

Tell me dear writers and editors @ Mint, would YOU ever pay up this kind of money for a beach dress? And if not, why are you recommending it to your readers??

I bet every single person on the Mint team would go buy a beach dress/ sarong from a Janpath or Colaba Causeway for Rs 150.

I bet you guys use Lakme, Lotus and Garnier sunscreen (or at best Banana Boat) - not Vichy costing Rs 1090.

I bet you guys would be terribly embarassed if you were asked to wear any of the swimsuits modelled on that yacht…

I guess this isn’t going to be “Every Girl’s Beach Basics” this summer. :)
