“Angola is one of the fastest growing economies in Africa, as such it is the perfect locale to celebrate fashion on the continent. My vision is to make Angola the go to destination for Fashion from Africa. After the success of the first edition, I am encouraged to realise this dream,” says Mr Matos Cardoso, the President of the Board of FIL Angola, and the man behind Fashion Business Angola.

HOLLY MADISON'S-1 MILLION DOLLAR BOOBIES


What's so HOT!!! about a pair of supposedly fake boobies, that they are worth a million dollars in insurance. Its one question we all have to ask Holly Madison-the Ex-main flame of Hugh Hefner, the owner  and Publisher of Playboy. Just recently the blondie, took the path of other celebs and some superstars who had gone on to insure some parts of their bodies-J LO was reported to have insured her bum for a whooping!!!!$27Million Dollars, while ex-Super Model and wife of SEAL-Heidi Klum was said to have insured her legs for a Million Dollars, this 2 body parts are supposedly the most valuable parts of the 2 stars body, hence the insurance policy, in the aftermath of any affect on those parts, the stars would go home smiling to the banks.





Holly's supposed main money maker is her set of fantastically constructed fake boobies, that she has shown to the delight of all for many times either in Playboy or their very successful reality show series-GIRLS NEXT DOOR, but since she left the show, and even left her ex-Hugh,who she dated for 7 years from -2001 to 2008 and only left because, the eternal Playboy refused to marry her, she's been in Las Vegas doing her own show called -The PeepShow. At 31 years old, Holly's asset are a whooping 36D rated titties and they were insured by Lloyds of London

THEN & NOW- ANY CHANGE OR CHANGES?????KAREN IGHO

THEN
We thought that we should start a new series for your viewing pleasure, we have thought to call it -THEN & NOW, that's like a before and after shots of people that we have or can get their old pictures to compare with how they were before, and how they look now.  The 1st in the series is the recent $200,000 winner at the last Big Brother Amplified-''our in your face,take me as you see me''-Karen Igho. From our 1st encounter with her sometime in 2008, one very obvious thing about Karen is her boldness, and she has not lost that at all, she still has it in abundance.


NOW

We also believe that, that strength of Character would see her through anything. One major thing that we believe that Karen has done by winning the BB All-stars, is that she has become an Icon sort of for the underdog, it just says that no matter your background, it's not over until it's over, you can rise above anything and come out shining.

WHY SO MANY FAKES???????....MY RANTINGS!!!!-PART 1

THE REAL DEAL
Why are there so many fake things all round, the country is gradually becoming the fake capital of the world, we are so astonished by the avalanche of fake things we see daily-fake people, fake breast, fake complexion, Fake Christian Louboutin shoes, Fake GianMarco Lorenzi's, Fake Tom's,Fake Hermes Birkin bags, Fake LV, Fake smile, Fake friendships,fake!fake!!fake!!!!!!!!everything. What is going on. And the culprits are also well known in the society, meaning.......... they too are FAKE!!!!!!!!!!.
PHARELL WITH THE REAL McCOY



In order to impress or be counted amongst those who are the IT people, people are so willing to sell their birthright for nothing, that is why there is so much unholy relationships going on, people have put themselves under so much pressure,and are so desperate to do anything, just because they want to belong.


Imagine this, an average Hermes Birkin bag goes for between $9,000 & $150,000 dollars, the cost is determined by the rarity of the material used for its production-Ostritch,Alligator,Crocodile,Lizard etc, in Naira that's between #1,350,000 & #22,500,000 that's at #150 to a Dollar, that's a staggering  amount, dont you all think?, but go out in Lagos and some other parts of the country, you see big madams, young girls, models even University students carrying them in all colours, some in some very odd colours, that  they immediately shout fake. We know for sure some carry the real McCoy, but check out this scenario a student or a young girl, who is still under her parents care, spending that much on one single bag, she's either a thief or better still an armed robber, a ritualist or a call girl and for her to be the last one, she's must be something special. We remember the wife of a former governor, who is now a Senator that bought one for her daughter sometime back, atleast we know those one's could afford it.

Let us look at another scenario, the average Christian Louboutin costs between $400 & & $900 though some go more expensive, again depending on some variables, in Naira that comes to about #60,000 & #135,000, which though is still affordable,but its still steep for the average pockets, but you can be so sure to see it everywhere, been worn by all and sundry, some even now use it to play football-Lwkld!!!!!!!!!!!!, AND IT GOES ON AND ON LIKE THAT.


And the question that continually comes to mind is this, must you carry a designer label?, who are you trying to validate your ignorance to?, why must you put yourself under unnecessary pressure, to impress another. Why?,why??, why?????.

HOW TO SPOT A FAKE HERMES BIRKIN.

1.The name ''Hermes Paris,Made in France'' is always stamped on the front face of the bag.
2.The date of the manufacture, is always on the bags. The artisans mark and year of production are stamped beneath the right belt.
3.The stitching is important, the authentic Hermes bags have straight,even stitches and no loose thread,and the thread will match the bag.
4.Hermes bags have a covering to protect the hardware, which is never removed, until purchase. And the hardware is solid, not hollow.
5.Inside of the bag,Hermes bags do not ever have metal namep plates, and they are made of the finest leathers.
6.The best way to know the real, is to go to the authentic Hermes store, and get aquainted with the real McCoy, the lining, the leather,the attention to the minutest details and the understated elegance of the bag.

DELTA STATE GOVERNOR'S DAUGHTER GETS SET FOR WEDDING

The very brilliant daughter of the governor of the very oil rich state of Delta, who is enjoying a 2nd term in office, is getting prepared to walk down the aisle with her beau. The very lucky dude we hear is the son of a top Economist-Raymond Okpu and from the little snippets,though unconfirmed we are hearing the couple might have had a quiet court wedding already, the November 2011 white wedding Nuptial ceremony is only an additional. Orode Jade Uduaghan- Okpu, is the founder of the Pink Pearl Cancer Foundation and at 22, born on July 31,1989 has really done well for herself, she is a graduate of Psychology from the University of Windsor, Ontario,Canada.


She started her foundation as a little way of showing how touched she was by the plight of women afflicted with Breast & Cervical cancer, she didn't that because one was comfortable, that they can then seat down and look, and the little acorn of then as now grown into an oak tree.                                                                                                                                                       

So come November of this year, which is only a month a few days away, the whole of Delta will shake as the governor would host many at the Nuptial of his gorgeous and very kind-hearted daughter.
