He made cats and butterflies, and was very pleased with this. He then decided to outdo his previous amazing works, and so he created the sardarji. He put hair on their faces in much abundance to seperate tem from the rest and make them THE best looking creatures alive. Well, it must have worked, because after this, Vaheguruji could NOT duplicate his sucess with these precious creatures. (And yes, this IS pattie 'nirmal', but im not in NY full time yet....)</p> Ok the pink n suspender is just screwed up, especially with the turban shave, but as long as we don’t pull a gori toting attempt at fashion like waris tries (which jut makes him nasty gross vermadoola), the rabbi shergill hairy – as – a -cat classic pagh (my fav is nikku style) is just amazing…..besides…u ever hear of how sardars came to be?

They have a super hot Sikh Model on the entire storefront in their 5th Avenue flagship store. I've been trying to find the picture online (short of walking over there and taking one myself) but haven't been successful.</p> By the way the ads are up.
