Who Is that Girl?

And Miss Taraba emerged the MBGN 2011!!!! Did I hear someone shout "WTH?!" Because I did when I heard she won. Like, seriously? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems the contest has been shifted to select only the dumbest girls in Nigeria. Except beauty is now only to the surface and has nothing to do with brains, poise (or "proise" according to our new queen), and charisma.

It is a good thing I did not go yesterday oh, the vex wey I for vex ehn... Lucky me, I had madt fun at a bachelor's Eve party I attended with "you-know-who", then on to Caliente to hook up with Seke. I am still nursing a mild hangover, and with this storm, God has to forgive my absence in church today.

I am going to celebrate those queens that I think are queens in every sense of the word...
Oluchi O. Orlandi (M-Net Face of Africa, 1998)
Agbani Darego (MBGN 2001, Miss World 2001)
Omowunmi Akinnifesi (MBGN 2005)
Munachi Abii (MBGN 2007)
Ugochi Ogugbue (Miss LaCasera, 2009)

These are people that deserved every bit of their reign and have moved on to greater heights. Silverbird Group, abeg take note. This contest was the worst ever.
Okay, I am off to scavenge for my breakfast. I hope I have not been too critical, it must be because I have not had my morning coffee. Hehe. #okbye

You will notice UgoSeke's pic up three times. That is because she is my homegirl and a gorgeous one too!! I always celebrate her. I hope you appreciate their beauties like I do.

One of Those Days...

Sometimes it absolutely sucks being a female. Seriously. It is a lovely saturday morning, I'm supposed to be making sandwiches in preparation for my picnic date with Seke, Somi, and the rest of my girls. Instead of singing along with Whitney or any other diva I can slot into the CD, and gyrating my hips while making dozens of sandwiches, I am curled up in bed with endless cups of chamomile tea and ibuprofen that has not started to work! AaaaarrrrgGggggHhhh...!!! Errr... Did I say dozens of sandwiches just now? Hehehehehee. Just five of us and I am thinking dozens of sandwiches. Must be because I did not have dinner, and haven't gotten around to having breakfast either.

On the brighter side, HRM let me off early yesterday because he thought I'd earned it and dang!!! I sure had. To celebrate my success at not screaming these past two weeks (just kidding, I love my job), I paid a visit to the just-opened Etam store at The Palms. Okay, so they are giving "Fundermentals" a serious run for their money. You bet I got me some racy secrets in shades of red, purple, and black. I didn't think to ask, but I wonder if they stock satin sheets. I must simply buy one. I was a very good girl yesterday and I didn't even stop to check out shoes. I had to run out before the traffic became murderous! The rains have been crazy this year hence we have had crazy floods on the island. Na wa o. I go soon pack comot but I cannot live on the mainland jor. If only the government would build us standard drainage systems!

Drat!! I need to get out of this bed. Seke will soon be here and she will scream holy murder if I am still in bed. Never mind the cramps, she will just throw one more ibuprofen down my throat and then throw me into the bathroom. I just remembered that I have to go with her to the salon to make her hair. Today is the MBGN 2011 pageant finalé and I have to help her get prepared. All of this, and I have to make these sandwiches first! Alright my darlings, it is time to drink some whisky!!! I have to giddy-up! XoXo
