Recklessly authentic.
Something is wrong with this picture. Well, technically, there's nothing wrong with the picture. It's the description of the person in the picture. Sometimes, you stay home so much that you don't get the memo about how it's now possible to born pikins and still be a virgin. When I first read it, I tried to justify it by saying that perhaps, the three children are her adopted children, so she never gave birth and possibly never had sex. But the last part says she's hoping to Read More
When I was a child, I had very big dreams. I grew up as an only child, so I never knew what it was like to have siblings. I didn't have competition, and apart from my parents, I didn't really have anyone else to look up to or be inspired by. I wanted so many things. I wanted to be a lawyer. I wanted to own a clothing store. I wanted to be medical doctor. I wanted to be a fashion designer. I wanted to own several cars, especially a red convertible car. When I used to dream as a child and even as Read More
Have you heard of the DOPE movie? You must have. It's been getting my attention for a long time. And when I heard that Pharrell Williams and Forrest Whitaker were part of it, too, I became even more interested. I regret that I haven't seen the movie yet [does not come out till June 12th, unless you have connection to the powers that be, and unfortunately, Oprah hasn't called me yet]. It's written and directed by Rick Famuyiwa - yes, a Nigerian American. But before we give him a Nigerian passport Read More
As they say, hindsight is 20/20. In my life, I have had a total of three serious/committed relationships, and I'm now married to the third one. As they also say, third time is the charm. Before Igwe, I got to know other men. Apart from the two I had a serious relationship with, there were some in between that were not serious (because I was young and knew nothing of that life anyway) and some that almost happened, but didn't quite. We died in the "just talking" phase. I'm sure we all know that Read More
Did you see the first Pitch Perfect? I did, and I loved it. Even Igwe saw it and loved it, too. Well, the second part is finally coming out, and guess who's a sponsor? Schick Women's Shave! It was only a few days ago that I put up a post about shaving, sponsored by Schick Women's Shave. I don't know about you, but for me, I am really excited to go see Pitch Perfect 2. Apart from the perfect pitch from the stars - pun intended, there's also the never-ending comedy. The awesome movie, Pitch Read More
