For as long as Happy’s been.
That’s how long Sanaa’s been with us. One of Happy’s first hires and easily in the top among our favourites, she’s been indispensable so far — the brain behind many of our successful works on Diesel, and now she was leaving. Well life is tough, aye?
For those unfamiliar about Sanaa, she’s one for the asylums. An outwardly docile-looking Mallu girl, but actually quite a goofball. Explained best by the Old Monk wedding invite we created for her that went on to become quite a buzz online. An expert at making up new words, her most famous creation is there in the post’s title, and was our theme for her farewell party. Let’s bring on, Kuspi Studio.
What’s kuspi, you ask? What’s NOT kuspi, we say. It’s anything oddball, eccentric, or outside of what you might call normal. And for bringing this madness alive, a few of us set aside some time from their busy (really, really, busy — trust us) schedules to put together a photo studio from a bygone era. Alright, that’s contentious, as a few of these studios can still be found.
Our artists went to work creating the backdrop and the signboard for Kuspi Studio. Once the whole place was set up, it was ‘Lights! Action! Camera!’ time. No, seriously.
Studio lights were arranged for, the cameras were ready, and the action was courtest the Happy animals. Z-grade, ultra corny modelling assignment par excellence was on. Of course with drinks, munchies and music. It was yet another party in Happy. Maybe after learning from the experience of Rishi’s and Nitya’s farewell, this was a more, err, emotionally subdued exercise. Lesser hugs, lesser speeches, lesser drama. Well scratch that last one.
Drama was aplenty, as can be seen from the pictures below. From suited booted gentlemen, to lovers on bikes, wannabe body builders, and many others. Folks here happily donned various avatars. Goes without saying, that Sanaa was at the centre of all the mad stuff that was happening.
Like she has always been. The creator of KneeJ was leaving to create something equally naughty, and to be honest, she will be missed. Terribly. So as we ponder over life without Kuspi (take us for a nice Espresso someone), here’s extending a warm round of wishes to the coming soon Kuspi Jr, and our very own Kuspi Original.
