First of all, you know I have not blogged forever, because I was busy doing what everybody or lets say what all normal people do on holidays, eating, drinking and sleeping, not necessarily in that order but yes that is what I have been doing.

I did not have a christmas wish, you know me and christmas dont really get along, so above is my new years list, and it is not a list for the first it is the whole year running, I will get me a man, (preferably Idris) some hot block heels, a birkins bag, my favourite scent Armani Code, and Diesel watch, I love big watches. And while I work on it, feel free to send me a gift of one of the above, and no I do not want bootleg anything, thank you very much.

This year has been ok, but it is ending very well, this blogwise. I was on NTV with Pinky Ghelani talking about TOI!! I know you all know but let me just repeat it for the sake of blogging. I did not record the clip but I am sure I will get it once everybody gets back to the office.

Pinky's Show airs every Sunday on NTV at 6pm- 

We have grown so much since I started this blog and am still overwhelmed by it. At the moment we are at 3009 likes on facebook! and the blog so far is about to hit 20K views, am sure it could have been more, but the laziness I have been displaying is epic. I am sure I will not do any better next year. Usually I dont follow my new years resolutions so I do not want to make promises.

There is the dress I was working on, I know you are waiting, just remember I had advised you earlier to cultivate patience, it is a virtue every woman must have in plenty.

I have learnt a lot, this year, a lot a lot a lot, I have met new people who have turned out to be great friends, and I have met new people who have turned out to be mega assholes, but that is the way life is, just shake your head and move on.

I have made some new friends and I have lost some old ones, it is the way of the world. It has been a year full of laughter, happiness, depression, booze, friends, family, work, and.... well you can add in the other thing you have been doing, I have been doing more or less the same, we have all been living!

I have grown a little bit fashion wise, I havent really learnt much, but my shopping skills have improved, now that I have been shopping for you, there are lots of things you learn at Toi and Gikomba, lets just call them life lesson:-) I was there this week and it was so muddy and I had those plastic condom shoes on; and on my way out I am thinking, how am I getting to town like this, but at the exit there are these boy (bless them) they clean your feet and shoes, such lovely kids, its like a mini pedi, they did such a great job!!!  and they even have glycerin for your feet, all for 10 bob,  the way my feet ng'arad, had to give him extra because they were just so sweet and laughing and just being happy despite the fact that they are kids and should be playing.

These have been some of the buys from Toi and Gikomba

I shall continue blogging and shopping and I hope bigger better things are in store for all of us. I know there are several things that I have promised you. And NO I have not forgotten, in good time. There is a whole new year ahead of us. I will try my best to blog something before the year ends, but if I dont (probably won't) Champagne for everyone!

Here is to good life, to friends, to family, to hopes, and dreams and MONEY!!! yeah money is always good, it is not everything, but it is always good to have lots of it. Really it does not hurt at all to have more money.

and to good food, I had to finish it off with food. Be healthy, be safe

Dama.

I am blogging from our terrace, I do no want to miss the flames as they come down. As we did not get the MEMO with appropriate time advance, we did not have enough money time to build a bunker. But we are ready with the appropriate drinks and food, we dont want to go down in silence so here is to Armageddon!!! We are ready as hell! (I realise that hell is not an appropriate word right now but who cares) 

The picture above is of me and Jules, at the Eryka Badu Concert!! I want to if possible go with good memories down, that I had a fabulous time here on earth with some incredibly great brilliant people. That concert was off the chain!! I have not been to anything like that, but the other Jules tells me the Jazz festival that went on at Bomas was better than this, so must have been something.

Here  is where I want to tell my friends in the diaspora that we are not the way you left us, because the other day at Sailor's this mama with a fake on transit accent (that is the accent you get while waiting for your  flight) was giving us attitude and she is at our local, look you dont come to my drinking hole dressed like a ghetto fabulous black american woman and give me shit! "oh Kenya is so dusty" "you guys are like really dressed nice?" pris madam enda mbali na mimi. Please make a point of coming home often, especially if you are those who came straight from shagz to JKIA!!! Then you will not be so shocked and just act normal yawa, you know even us we have been there where you have come from?!

Jules and Jules ( dont they look lovely)

We had a fantastic time, met some fabulous people and ofcourse Eryka Badu rocked like madness, and she was kulaing shots, which then promted Jules (I dont know how discribe this 2 girls, they all have last names that end with "O" and all have dreadlocks). Anyway the other Jules, her table people saw the queen taking shots and how did Tequilas go down. 

Should the world end we shall say we lived our lives exceptionally well. Except for the part where while we were waiting on our tickets with the other Jules, this incredibly handsome man, and my friend when I say handsome I mean handsome like Idris Elba, just a bit lighter, so this guy comes says hi to me by name then because I have absolutely no clue who he is,  a man tries to remind me who he is/where we met, so we go way back all the way back to Ngumo, then he says we went on a date,  alama ya mshangao!!!!! I was there like "if I went out with you on a date even for 2 minutes I would have remembered that face!" I was mesmerised by his face and body and height and forgot to ask him his name and number of which Jules rubbed it in practically the whole night.

We met this other handsome boy who I am made to understand is a member of the Sauti Soul Band. Cougarness came out like a nonsense!

All in all it was a fab fab night of course we took that party to another level and ended home at 5am!

The day after was my girl  Wageci's wedding, we put on extra large sunglasses and headed there with massive hangovers (Tusker light at the concert was a hundred bob!!) the only thing I can tell you that it was mad, a wedding like no other I have attended!! I skipped day 2 of the celebrations but was there on day 3 and 4 representing!! Mad fun this week has been. I am not sad should it end!

Please note I am posting this today A week after the world ended, I had to make sure I am in the correct corner of hell:-)

11:44

Woi it has been along time coming! I had disappeared, under the Radar, ask you leafy suburb friends where that is:-) 

3. There is no number 2 reason,

Anyway bombs have been going on in Eastleigh, now I dont know why people want to trash my beloved country, but it is getting to much yawa!

On the outfit! So on friday we went to Rhumba at deamvillage, that is where all old mamas like meself gather on Friday! I decided to try this Sai's outfit. You know the bag, the only thing you have not seen there is the scarf which I got for 2sok from Tom Mboya Street and the Ring for 150sok. The jacket, skirt and vest are from my stuff which, well did not come from Toi/Gikosh but can be found there.

The skirt, belt and Jacket I bought at Mango a whiiiiiile back, insert 4 years, and the vest I bought from those 5Euro shops owned by Indians in Antwerp.

My Hair Do which I totally love, is a weave, (idol) it cost 760KSH. It is synthetic but can be tonged and blow dried etc. Now I forget the name of the shop, but is on Tom Mboya Street, just a few shops after Galitos.

Vio, who has a salon at Kenya Cinema did the hair and she is really good, she even filled out for me the bangs after mine ran out. I highly recommend. So holla if you want her number! She did it for 8sok.

We need a Christmas carol 

I have even included lyrics, sing away.

Now I love this Jennifer girl, really and the way she has lost so much weight, good stuff lakini sasa hii ni kitu gani?

Very Bad, dont try this even if you are 16

Due to my other rather tight schedule, I have not attended any event, and by the look of things I might not even attend the Eryka Badu concert. Read as I have calculated the budget, BRRRRR!!! enough to go to the coast for 5 days!

Now you know that is a tough decision for someone like me, I have not taken it to prayer, but I am still struggling with it.

I know I have two storos to bring to the table, I have been busy; so I am on it

It has been so long since I said something on MakeUp, but now I have realised preaching does not help, so I will just be using pictures, here is a start

Coffee and Crumbs

So I have been asked to dress some beauty peagants out of town, the event is on Sato, I have already met a few of them, should my camera not fail me I will update accordingly.

Of movies and things nice.........

Now I did not know that Whitney Houston had done a movie just before she died. It is brilliant, am not big on musicals, but this is the kind of musical I like. Whitney was brilliant, and am not saying that because she is dead;

The storyline is a bit weak because its what we know, I mean we have all heard that in other movies, but I still loved it!! 

AND my favourite was the STYLE!!! aki now I am full swing on the 50's!!! 

I have a wedding and a wedding and a wedding to attend before this month ends,  yeah those are way too many weddings but the world is ending on the 21st if you have not heard, well now you know.

I am going 50s full swing before rapture!!

Stylish Reader

I have been telling you peeps the way you need to send me pictures so I feature you here, and some of you are still joking! As in really how difficult can that be? 

So meet out first stylish reader, Angela rocking the african print!

Meanwhile,  you know these days, the way I dont watch news, with everything being political and just bleh! aki our politicians are just shady!

Haya there is my MP, Gideon Mbuvi Mike Sonko (am from Makadara) who now wants to be Senator of NAIROBI!!!!!!. Aki nitahama! Look at the way he is ooozing Pimp juice like a nonsense!! My ushago MP now is another one, aki I cant even start! This is a fashion blog so I will not get into politics, lakini Hon. Mak Ajwang' sasa ile room ya mabati imechoka in Mbita, which  is now brown ndio unaita immigration office; Una embarass ja luo for nothing.

Anyway You just GO OUT AND  REGISTER!!! The registry points are everywhere, here in South B, they are even outside Naivas!

Kuna vile somebody thought all registration centers are in one direction!  I dont know why somebody would come to that conclusion, but this is Kenya! 

Another thing, now I have to give the blog another subtittle and we move from In the footsteps of Sai Sankoh, so I need suggestions, and please dont say Kenyan Girls Killing It, because you know and I know we are not killing it as yet, either that or we over killed it in the 50s ime kufa kabisa!

Cheers People and sorry for the long delay!
