TURBANIZER.COM CELEBRATES WORLD TURBAN DAY WITH TURBANIZER iPHONE AND iPAD APP

SINGAPORE, April 13, 2011 - Turbanizer.com is spreading more Turban love by releasing a dedicated iPhone and iPad App for free to celebrate World Turban Day.

Turbanizer.com and RateMyTurban.com creator Ash Singh, has an ambitious goal of "Turban-izing" over 10 Million people all over the world this year through the new App.

The App can be downloaded from http://turbanizer.com/iphone/ or simply search "Turbanizer" in the AppStore.

Once installed, the Turbanizer App allows you to try on over 50 different style turbans from photos taken from your camera or from Facebook. Once you have Turbanized your photo, you can share it via email, Twitter or Facebook.

"Surprisingly, there are a lot of people that wonder what they look like in a Turban" said Mr. Singh in a recent interview. "For non-Turban wearers, visualizing yourself in a Turban is a way to help break the stigma associated with it - you might be surprised to find that you look better with one"

After 9/11, many Sikhs were targeted due to their similiar appearence to terrorists in the news. Ash decided to promote the turban in a fun and interesting way and has since reached out to millions of people all over the world to educate them about turbans through Turbanizer.com and RateMyTurban.com.

When asked what his personal goal behind the Turbanizer, Mr Singh responded, "I hope that the turban can become a mainstream fashionwear. I have an 8 month old son - I hope when he gets old enough to wear a turban, its considered cool and not associated with terrorism." "Its great to see some of the big fashion labels like Prada starting to sell turbans. Lets keep the momentum going." he added.

TURBANIZER TO REVOLUTIONIZE TRENDS OF FASHION

From the creator of Sikhi Wiki and Sikhpal comes an exciting new online tool, Turbanizer that allows you to see how you would look like in a turban.

By simply following the steps online, the users are able to upload their pictures (or snap one using their webcam) and choose from the multitude of turbans online and place the perfect one to fit their personal style. After which, they can download the picture and send them to their friends.

Creator Ash Singh said, “Racism is driven by being afraid of the unknown. People that do not wear a turban need to connect with the turban to understand it. Turbanizer helps by allowing anyone in the world to visualize themselves in a turban.”

Although traditionally associated with certain cultures and religions, Turbanizer allows anyone from all walks of life to dispel their scepticism and curiosity by giving them the opportunity to try on these turbans online without carrying the obligation of having to actually purchase it before trying it out.

Ironically, ever since its launch, Turbanizer has received more hits from the non-Indian population residing in Europe and America. It is fast becoming a global phenomenon that transcends the boundaries of history and tradition, which have been associated to the turban.

This is exactly Turbanizer’s aim: to transcend into global markets and make the turban an international phenomenon. Soon, the website will include links to add accessories such as feathers and pearls that allow the user to mould the turban to his or her own personal style.

After this, the second phase of Turbanizer will allow users to purchase this turban online once they are contended with their picture. In line with its growing online numbers, turbans are sure to revolutionize trends of fashion in the near future. Currently, users can purchase their Turbanized photos on merchandise like t-shirts and mugs.

Go on to the online website at http://www.turbanizer.com or add the “Turbanizer” application on Facebook today.
