Does Being Skinny Really Equate Being Beautiful? Discuss.

Random skinny model I found on Google

I don’t usually write much about body size, but there’s always a first time. I remember a while ago I was following a sort of drama between a fashion blogger and some of her readers. She was mad because she had put up a picture of herself wearing a nice pencil skirt and a top. A lot of the people that commented mentioned how beautiful she was because she had shed a few pounds, she looked slimmer. So what’s the {Read More}

Who Is This Naked Woman?

Now, this is curvy

And why is she naked? Now, you know that I am a major last carrier when it comes to a lot of things, so maybe I have carried last on this woman, too, but I still want to know who she is. And why is she naked? And why have women on Facebook been using her as their cover photo? And why are there so many  retweets of her picture on Twitter? Who is she?   One thing I have {Read More}

Too Pretty To Be Nigerian?

About a week ago, I had to go see Igwe’s mechanic on fixing a minor electrical problem in my car. When I introduced myself, he was all excited, said Igwe was his buddy (although they only met like a month ago). I asked where he was from, and he said Pakistan. Then he asked where I was from, and I told him, too. He was a really good looking and well spoken guy. When I was about to leave, he asked, {Read More}

It Pays To Be Curvy

Christina Aguilera

You remember Christina Aguilera? Yeah, the pretty Ecuadorian and Irish blonde with a big voice. She’s still pretty, still Ecuadorian and Irish, and she still has a big voice, but she isn’t so skinny anymore. I’m sure you know that already, and that’s not what this post is about … or why I am vexing. Yes, I know I’m always vexing. Once upon a time, she used to be skinny. And all the media outlets talked about how fit she was, how {Read More}

I Take It Back: Women Actually FEEL Sexiest When They’re 28

28 Cartoon

What a way to start Monday morning. It was only last week I told you that women are sexiest in their thirties. Well, I take it back. According to a new article I just read, women actually feel sexiest at 28. I don’t know if it’s safe then to say that the two researches are quite different: one talks about when women are their sexiest (in their thirties), and the other talks about when women feel their sexiest (28). So {Read More}

Women Are Sexiest In Their 30s???

According to a research done somewhere by some people, women are sexiest in their thirties.  In other words, if you are not yet in your thirties, be happy that you have something to look forward to. If you are already in your thirties, make hay while the sun still shines because your days are apparently numbered. And if you are past your thirties, then this is the time to live in your past glory.  If you are reading this on {Read More}

Beyonce-Most-Beautiful-Woman

The internet was abuzz yesterday with the news of People Magazine’s list of the 100 most beautiful women in the world, and Beyonce was on top of that list. Well, they released the top 10. The full list won’t be out till Friday, April 27th. Second in command – read, second most beautiful – was Sophia Vergara. Third was Charlize Theron.  Of course, there are 97 more, but they don’t matter too much right now as even Beyonce’s beautifulness is {Read More}

He Who Marries Beauty Marries Trouble

Ever since I announced that my anonymity will be coming to an end soon, I have been under immense pressure to be beautiful. I don’t know any other time that I’ve felt so not-beautiful-enough. And what makes it worse is that I don’t know what to do to make myself more beautiful. Yet, everyday, I receive at least one warning to be beautiful.

His Finger Nails Are Too Short!

Not his fingernails, but you get the idea

I will not boast of having heard it all. After all, it was just the other day that I learned of salad tossing, but that’s a totally different story.  So, there I was, having a mini Girls’ Night Out with a bunch of girls, and as usual, the major topic of discussion was men.  What else is there to talk about anyway? Chika, a semi-new friend of ours randomly mentioned Nnamdi, a guy who likes her, but whom, unfortunately, she {Read More}

The Case Of The Hairy Legs

I must have been about 13 or 14 when I first witnessed my friend, Isabella shaving her legs with a shaving stick. Prior to that, I don’t think I knew that people even do stuff like that. I was a late bloomer in every sense of the word. After the first time I witnessed Isabella doing it, I witnessed her doing it a few more times. I distinctly remember she got cut by the blade at least once. Being of {Read More}
