No, seriously, which celebrity started this calendar trend? And do people really hang these things on their walls? So there I was jejely minding my business – as usual – when I spotted Goldie’s new calendar. I understand that Goldie is different, and I understand that she is supposedly the Lady Gaga of Nigeria. Whether or not that is a good thing is yet to be determined. But peep some of her pictures below. Oh. It’s a Zodiac calendar – if it helps clear up some confusion.
And there’s more ….
But they’re not all dark. Below is a happy one that will not have you screaming Blood of Jesus and soaking yourself in holy water at the sight of it.
In the beginning of the year, Majid launched his calendar. I don’t know if he was the first, but I know he launched a calendar. Below are some of the pictures. The calendar costs $19.99, but in his defense, he said 20% of its proceeds will go to charity. I don’t remember the details now. And I don’t know if the rest are giving part of their calendar proceeds to charity, too.
I really like this picture. Well, I wouldn’t hang it on my wall, but it’s my favorite compared to the rest.
I don’t know what’s going on with this got-milk picture, but I’m gonna skip right on over to the next one, my least favorite of them all.
Dear Majid, I don’t know what look you were going for, but this is gay. If my man ventures to pose like this in a picture, we’re gonna have a conversation about his sexuality. Even the way they airbrushed and photo shopped the thing sef, it looks like he has some high class pancake on his face and some good Mac lip gloss. No oh, abeg.
And then, there was Chika Ike. *sigh* Honestly, they weren’t all bad.
I really like her face in this one. She looks really pretty. I no even know say the girl fine like this.
Dear Chika, there are very few times when a woman poses like this and looks great while at it. This is not one of those times. I don’t know what you were trying to accomplish with this pose oh, but it makes me all kinds of uncomfortable. The men might like it though, so hey, what the heck do I know?
Again, I ask, who buys these calendars? And where do they hang them? I can just imagine my Deeper Life aunty coming to my house and seeing Goldie’s angel of death picture on my wall. Kumuyi himself will organize a special deliverance service for me.
P.S. I did not post all the pictures from the calendars. As much as I’d have loved to, 36 pictures are a lot of pictures to post.
P.P.S. But Goldie, seriously though?

That last photo of Chika…. blehhhhhhhh. Did she see that photo before it was published? Na wa oh.
Vera Ezimora says
Pearl, I know. It’s just too weird. Nothing about it looks sexy. Not the hair. And definitely not the pose.
Ajoke says
As a Cancer I’m particularly offended that she chose to embody my sign by posing as a witch. What do any of the shots have to do with the zodiac signs…I don’t even know 1 Goldie song…
Vera Ezimora says
Hahahaha. I don’t know one Goldie song ever, and I have not bothered to google/you tube her. But whatever the case may be, she’s important enough for you to look at her face from now till 2013. Lol.
EDJ says
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Especially at Majid’s got milk pervert picture. Someone saw that and actually thought it was a good idea? WOW.
Also why is Cancer a witch? Does Halloween in Nigeria occur in July/August now? For Scorpio, I guess that is Halloween but perhaps looking like you are having a seizure is not a good look for any female? Just wow. Who is Goldie by the way?
Vera Ezimora says
Goldie is a singer in Naija. That’s all I know about her. I have not heard any of her songs, but I have read her being described as the Lady Gaga of Nigeria. That said, I don’t understand what inspires anyone to do certain things. But hey, as long as it is not me …
Bola says
I gues they just want to give their fans some kind of pinup pic or so but it some how went horribly wrong. Majid’s wasa bit bearable but Chika…. Kai! Not nice at all. As for Goldie, I have no words! *crosses self and walks off quickly!
Vera Ezimora says
Bola,
Hahaha at crossing yourself. I know. That’s the feeling she gives you, right? By I guess that’s what she was going for. That Chika’s pose is just wrong in every way. Lol.
