Hey folks! Miss me? I have definitely missed blogging. However, I want to revamp my blog- looks and all! Guess I have to manage this for now....
How have you all been? Great I hope! I have been swamped with work, work and more WORK. I have had no life :(. Now I have a backlog of blogposts and I am so overwhelmed. I am trying to get more organized with a routine which I plan to enforce next week. With this routine, I hope to have more posts up regularly. Wish me luck and keep checking my blog :) xxx

Afropolitan vibes
Hey folks! Happy new month!
This post has been long overdue. Afropolitan Vibes is a monthly live show in Lagos that goes beyond convention. Co-Producers Ade Bantu & Abby Ogunsanya. It is a relaxed evening with good music, cool breeze and unlimited palm wine at the Freedom Park. Their second year anniversary is next month and it is amazing to see how far they have come. Hard work and determination pays off.
Sometimes I give advice about the magazine covers. On a particular day, my aunty was on the look out for a model she was going to use for a giff....she decided I should model. I was quite reluctant as I would have to strike a pose (we all know how much I dislike posing for people)and stay still for at least 20 seconds in the same pose as the photograph for the giff. I was not sure how this was going to work and kept looking for another model. Day of the shoot came, no luck with the other models. I was at VI when she called and told me that I had to model immediately.
I thought oh dear are my clothes appropriate? Do I have enough make up on? My hair was having a mind of its own that day. I was wearing a silk long sleeve shirt and a midi skirt. Had to style myself with clothes from her closet. I found this beautiful Ituen basi jacket in her closet and it just worked! I had to be sewn in but we were good to go.

This was my favourite shot. Someone interpreted this picture as "A struggling musician and his beautiful wife" Apparently most musicians have beautiful girlfriends/wives.
Blog would not allow me to post the giff. In the giff, my hair, my 'husband's eyes and chest are moving. I was very happy with this cover, definitely an experience.
Next afropolitan is coming up in March! I believe it is going to be a BIG one xxx
