About
Here’s an attempt to de-mystify us, our blog and answer a few of the zillions of questions we get.
Q: Who are Payal and Priyanka?
Extremely bitter, complexed, sociopathic loners. No, seriously. Recovering alcoholics too, who happen to fall off the wagon with every alternate post!
Q: Why the blog? Why don’t we ever see ‘Hollywood’ stuff on it?
This blog came about because we never could really find a ‘Desi-centric’ fashion blog… Not just ‘Bollywood’ but all things ‘Desi’ pertaining to style and fashion make their way onto this site.
And why no, Hollywood stuff? Really, do we want yet another Hollywood celeb/fashion/daily dish blog?
Q: What’s the logo all about? Why the bald lady?
The blog is for the woman who appreciates a classic ‘lbd’ (a symbol of timeless chic), for the woman who can carry off the fieriness of a high heel (a symbol of undisputable sensuality) and for the woman who dares to defy convention, even if it means going bald, because when it comes to personal style, not everyone wears their hearts on their sleeves being slaves to fashion pundits. And for that woman, High Heel Confidential is an essential style file. And hence, the logo.
Plus, after a couple of martinis it’s easy to find logic behind anything. We just loved the image. Period.
Q: Why is my comment going into moderation or getting deleted?
Because on a slow day, we like to build up Freudian psychological profiles based on comments we don’t like. Nah, just kidding.
Actually, you’d blush if you read some of the comments that make their way onto the site, so moderation is necessary. Personal attacks, non-content related malicious comments, abusive language (towards the subject in question, other posters or writers), hate words, insensitive words, possible racist comments, implied or otherwise, and comments that are posted merely to instigate drama will get deleted. Constructive criticism is always appreciated, as are opinions, just not the vile kind. We can handle the heat, (as you might have noticed by the undeleted comments) but lets leave out other posters and subjects in question. The comments have to be civil. Also, outgoing links unless posted by us, will get deleted.
How come some comments of mine make it and some don’t?
Thats easy… when a comment comes in, it comes with its corresponding IP address but often times some users to make their point far more ‘impactful’ might make the same comment in different words with different user names but their IP addresses remain the same…so we know its the same person!
Often times we let that pass, coz it might be a public computer or in general harmless but when the comments get vindictive or too self-promoting, we approve one or two comments and not the rest.
Also, any comments with outgoing links unless posted by us will also not get published.
Plus, hey, we own the blog, soooo, guess who has the deciding vote?
Q: How come my questions don’t get answered in ‘Letters’?
We do the best we can. Sometimes we just don’t know where one can buy a peach ‘anarkali’ in West Virginia.
Q: Do you have a personal vendetta against celebrities? Is this blog a way to channel the ‘hate’?
Actually no. We just call a spade, a spade. We have never shied away from the ‘compliments’ either. It’s just a look at all things ‘fashion and style’ and if they happen to come under fire, they do.
Q: You guys must be two very frustrated and complex’ed individuals, right?
A: Probably. Our better halves and shrinks will attest to it.
Q: How come there are no pictures of either of you on the site? Will you show pictures of yourself here so we can see what you look like?
Checked Interpol?
No. We won’t post pictures of ourselves, only because we are not celebrities. And this blog is about ‘them’!
