"Mindy Kaling looks stunning in a recent photo shared on her Instagram account on Friday, Sept. 27. In the snapshot, which was taken on the set of her hit sitcom, The Mindy Project, she&amp;apos;s wearing a pixie wig and a flattering white one-piece swimsuit made entirely of&amp;#x2026;shaving cream!\r\n\r\nThe show creator and star, in the accompanying caption, called the provocative item her &amp;quot;Varsity Blues &amp;apos;whipped cream bikini&amp;apos; which was, in reality a shaving cream one-piece.&amp;quot; (In the 1999 high school football flick, Varsity Blues, Ali Larter, as a social-climbing cheerleader, dons a whipped-cream bikini in an attempt to seduce James Van Der Beek&amp;apos;s quarterback character.) Kaling wore the creative get-up for her show&amp;apos;s Sept. 24 episode, in which she tries to have a sexy Skype conversation with her overseas fiance.\r\nPHOTOS: &amp;apos;90s actors hotter now or then?\r\nThe star looks markedly different on the cover of Parade, out this weekend. Gone is the wig, for one thing; her hair is her own, styled in loose, long waves. For another, she&amp;apos;s clothed! The actress looks gorgeous in the cover image in a green silk button-down.\r\n\r\nInside the magazine, she opened up about her frustrations with the media&amp;apos;s focus on her being a woman of Indian descent, and one, no less, who doesn&amp;apos;t fit into the conventional skinny actress mold. &amp;quot;I always get asked,&amp;apos;Where do you get your confidence?&amp;apos; I think people are well meaning, but it&amp;#x2019;s pretty insulting,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;Because what it means to me is, &amp;apos;You, Mindy Kaling, have all the trappings of a very marginalized person. You&amp;apos;re not skinny, you&amp;apos;re not white, you&amp;apos;re a woman. Why on earth would you feel like you&amp;apos;re worth anything?&amp;apos; &amp;quot;\r\n\r\nHer white male peers, meanwhile, don&amp;apos;t get asked such questions, she noted. &amp;quot;There are little Indian girls out there who look up to me, and I never want to belittle the honor of being an inspiration to them. But while I&amp;apos;m talking about why I&amp;apos;m so different, white male show runners get to talk about their art.&amp;quot;\r\nMindy Kaling&amp;apos;s full interview will appear in this weekend&amp;apos;s issue of Parade."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
