...

Yep!

I Don't Know You Anymore

I don't know you 
anymore
I did once
not anymore

Who are you? 
What can I do for you?
And what can you do for me?
We don't do it for each other 
anymore

That little ditty is for our village
...A place that was once fun
but not anymore
Just visited a blog and it was as a wise soul put it
...one hot mess
Not sure I wanna breathe the same air as that

trapped wind
mind, soul
twisted beyond comprehension.

But then I read her and her
and I think yes! yes!
sanity does live here!

Maybe it does
and sometimes it  hides

This post sounds Ibiluv-uesque
Organic...comes out just like that ((She does not send...lol)
Perhaps subconsciously, this is a tribute to an era
when we had something beautiful to share...BLOG....
and we read, laughed, commented without a care in the world
There were no fights

Days of Tee Fanny...
comments* left by mischievous minds kept me laughing
all week and the week after that. Ha!

Jokes so close to the bone you could
catch and bounce them over  to the next person

So maybe sanity hides these days
Tired of playing seek
...and catch up

I'll rather be Andrew
grab my keys
before the door shuts


*I'm referring to Original "Tee Fanny" post comments in August 2008 (could not retrieve the post when I deleted my blog for a short while that same year) The "Tee Fanny" link in this post was a repost in June 2010. 

What is Wrong with this Picture?: Meet the 60 Contestants for Miss Nigeria 2013

Are they beautiful? Of course, yes. So what's wrong with this picture. Look. Take a look again. Do you see what I see?

With the exception of two girls (from what I can see), that beauty is hidden. 58 out of the 60 contestants chose to hide the natural beauty of their hair. Why, girls? Why do you feel the need to hide? When you strut your stuff at the Miss Nigeria pageant, make this picture right. Own you! Be proud of who you really are!

If you know any of the girls in this picture, tell them it is time to come out from hiding and show what beauties they really are as African Princesses. There's too much heat in the Nigerian sun to hide your beauty under relaxer, weave or a wig. Good luck, girls!

PS: Wouldn't it be great if the organisers make it a condition that the contestants only wear traditional African hairstyles at the pageant and actually make that the pageant's theme this year? Now wouldn't that be something?  - A real celebration of the beauty of the Nigerian woman.
