In My Opinion...I don't see anything wrong in fashion show. We Nepalese try to be too much in going aginst such things. If we all are so much worried about the situation, then what the hell are we doing abroad? Its very easy to bash about your country from staying far away. All these fashion shows are not knocking at your door...Those who are interested are particpating...and there is nothing wrong with that... I am very sad that people like us have such mentaility.... I know the country is going through some rough times...but who is at fault and who is to blame? Everybody knows ---somewhat... So what even if the country is experiencing bad times---that doesn't mean that people can entertain themselves... Don't you go to clubs here or even try to act as American/British/Australian, etc? By the way Preeti---for your information--there is no swim suit round sin Nepal. So youdon't have to worry about showing your beautiful bodies.
