Rate My Turban
Filed under: Fashion, Best of the Season
Just yesterday some friends and I were lamenting the loss of sites like Hot or Not -- where random people uploaded their snapshots to a website and thousands of strangers rated their appearance on a scale of 1 to 10. Totally superficial, totally narcissistic, and totally awesome.Now those with an eye for Sikh fashion have their own version -- Rate My Turban. From the site's creator: I noticed most Sikhs living outside India have a pretty boring turban life (they wear 1-2 colours and usually tie the same style turban as their fathers).Furthermore, today's Sikhs are commonly confused for Muslims and I wanted to think of a creative way to showcase Sikhs and their royal turbans in a positive way to the general public, and also show Sikh youths that wearing a turban is cool and fashionable.
Not only does Rate My Turban have a decidedly worthier cause than the self-indulgent, people-rating sites of yore, it features some amazing looks. Check out the Hall of Fame if you don't believe me. Those turbans are amazing.

what's alarming about that website is that a deemed terrorist group is at the top...more as a message rather than anything turban-related.
