This might put your most shudder-inducing teen gig to shame, cheris. Actress Freida Pinto, dolled up in a high-low melange of Chanel and Alternative Apparel, graces NYLON's April cover, out on newsstands March 27. In the mag, she discusses her Mumbai upbringing, her next flick set in the 1890s, called Trishna...and a particularly unsavory gig from her formative years. “I was entertaining at kiddy [sic] parties, but I was always trying to run away from dressing up. I didn’t want to get in a dirty costume! You sweat in it!” Pinto told NYLON. Ick! Chic just gained newfound respect for all those clowns, Sesame Street characters, et al. we ran away from at childhood birthday parties. (Or in Times Square on a regular basis nowadays.) Movin' on up, Freida!
