Parody Twitter accounts are always the most fun to track.
Parody Twitter accounts are always the most fun to track. So no wonder when we discovered Not Miss Malini, we were tickled to say the least. The account aims to mock celebrity blogger Miss Malini (who tweets about Bollywood’s people and parties) and her oh-so nice stance and positive spin on everything. Complete with a picture of celebrity Miss Malini’s cartoon avatar with dollar signs in place of her eyes (she could be the only blogger making good moolah of blogging), Not Miss Malini is all about saying politically incorrect things. When someone complains about his life being so public now, Not Miss Malini brings him down to earth by reminding him, ‘Don’t worry, no one knows you’, and when one asks for advice about travelling to Cambodia, all s/he says is ‘Will blog about it in return for free beer’. And unlike the real Miss Malini, this one hates celebrities. When Mahesh Bhatt tweeted, ‘Unless you’re a celebrity, ppl don’t care about your every move. So don’t tweet what you are doing NOW’, Not Miss Malini tweeted back a big ‘UNFOLLOW’. Have to love this troublemaker.
