I want my MTV India

I turned on the telly Tuesday night to discover BBC World and MTV India. The former is keeping me from feeling completely out of touch with current events, the latter boasts a show called "Style Check," which is sort of like House of Style and hosted by a Downtown Julie Brown lookalike who offers hair advice.

I could use her help, seeing as how I look like I've been to hell and back by the end of each day. My face shines--and not in the glowy, pretty way. My hair is a rat's nest. No matter how cute I look in the morning, my outfit is stretched out, sticky and wilted by the time I return home. For the first time in years, I understand the appeal of a shaved head.
