COUNTDOWN TO YVONNE NWOSU'S NEXT BIRTHDAY. WHERE HAS SHE BEEN HIDING?

Except for maybe her instagram page which she still constantly updates, seems like the gazelle with the long legs and sultry eyes and with those sumptuously looking lips has given publicity a wide berth.

Gone seems to be those heady days, when she was always in the news every other day. But for a bit now, the very very talented and highly creative fashion designer and head honcho behind her eponymous or name sake brand-Vonne has thought to embrace more of quietude nowadays.

If it's a deliberate decision on her part, it seems like it's working and working well too. She was viewed "as one of the future of fashion at a point" and the lioness- she's August born and a feline (cat) in the true sense of the word (Leo gal) is a creative gem, whenever she's focused on the brand, churning out very nice collection that always gets very good reactions from all and sundry.

What she absolutely absolutely needs more and more, is more focus/steadfastness and consistency. For she seems to sometime drift or should we say coast for a long while after each success.

It's a countdown already to the birthday of the gorgeous fashionista and mother of one (a gorgeous teen coming into her own already). Apart from English and her native Ibo language that she speaks so dexterously, she is said to speak French too because she was born in Paris, France over 3 decades ago to a dad, a knight in the catholic church.

Happy birthday in long advance to the show off designer.

More stupendously gorgeous pictures after the break.

GORGEOUS MOTHER OF ONE & SPA OWNER EXTRAORDINAIRE FREDA FRANCIS ADDS ONE WITH LOADS OF FANFARE

Freda Francis 

Freda Francis needs no introduction whatsoever. It's like trying to introduce Coca Cola, Pepsi, Milo or Bournvita to people. Even if they haven't tasted of any of the brand's, that we have mentioned, they have most likely heard about the brands before or come across them one way or the other. So Freda Francis known to many as "Olivia Pope" or 007 or just by her initials as "FF" or "FFE" the last one by those that know her with the Edewor name, so that stands for Freda Francis-Edewor is a known personality.

Freda is one of Nigeria's most "drop dead gorgeous fashionistas, by all standards or ramifications, and when we say she is a fashionista worth her salt, we mean it by all standards available and she roles only with the biggest. Her wardrobe would rival any fashionista's in any part of the world and still stand super sure. She is also an avid traveler around the world.

She is the proud owner/promoter of one of the most upscale, most well appointed spas in Nigeria with headquarters on Cameron Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria and a branch in Lekki Phase 1 area. She's not just an entrepreneur owing a spa by the way, but one that is very knowledgeable and hands on in the business, having gone for several top notch trainings herself across the world and coming out with good certifications at that. Currently, her renowned "Oasis Med Spa" has won several of the best awards by any spas, across the globe. She in fact runs the spa, with one of the most knowledgeable persons in the spa business as her partner in the person of Dr. Bruce, a 35 years veteran, who himself was a legendary spa owner to the stars and celebs in America for several years, before relocating back to Nigeria. Oasis Med Spa is in fact, one of the best equipped in the country in terms of infrastructure, technology and manpower.

Our subject matter or the focus of our attention in this write up or should we call it an article, is a mother of one, a delightsomely handsome young boy by name Alexander. Freda has added a year today-her birthday, meaning she is 30 plus today, a little bird 🐦 told us it's Freda's [35th]. And since she's a jolly good feline, loved so much by so many, we have thought to share her birthday with the world and wish her the best as she happily celebrates making another year, in good health and sound mind.

We hear though not confirmed, that she's throwing it down with her few "friends", somewhere top notch. As soon as we have the details we would divulge it. So here is wishing Freda again, all the best that she wishes herself.

Long may you live. 

NIGERIA'S FOREMOST BEAUTY ARTIST OF THE DECADE LOOKS SUPER STUNNING AT 40!!!

It's like Banke Meshida-Lawal has been with us for so so long. Far longer than she really has been. Her name is synonymous with the growth of Make Up artistry in Nigeria and in fact Africa as a whole. She can be tagged very well without any controversies whatsoever as one of the grand icons of the trade, who totally elevated it to a stratospheric level. So she deserves our kudos!

Her growing clientele list reads the who-is-who of the society and beyond, many of whom would not accept that another would touch them up. Names like Hajia Bola Shagaya, Mo Abudu and the likes are on that awesome list. To many, she's like the Michaelangelo, Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh, Salvador Dali, Rembrandt of Make up/beauty artistry and truth be told, she has earned her stripes, and gallantly too at that. If she were into shoe making she would be ranked side by side one of the greats like Christian Louboutin or Charlotte Olympia, if she were a fashion designer, she would run shoulders with icons the likes of Giorgio Armani or Karl Lagerfeld. That just tells you just how good, how magical she is with her brush, in fact some feel she is a magician of great skills. At a point she was even the official make up artist to a sitting 1st lady of Nigeria, in the person of Madam Dr. Patience Jonathan.

The "incredible celebrity make-up artist and make up brand owner" & a budding photographer (men she takes some mean pictures!) to add to the boot, clocked the good 40 yesterday, August 21, 2018 making her a purring, very feline LEO!! ! As is widely known and acknowledged, Leos are born leaders by nature and so by natural inclination are always at the forefront, leading the pack while strutting majestically about, so now people can just naturally understand why it's so easy and effortless for Banke to lead the pack!

And just because she is a jolly good feline in whom many are pleased, one who has touched a lot of people's lives via what she does best, which is helping to expose the best parts of them, while totally downplaying their less beautiful spots/parts,..... fans, friends, family members, colleagues etc rolled out the drums and blew the trumpets in celebration as she clocked the age of maturity! Life just simply just started for her henceforth.

So we also here at Maestro's Media joins in the celebration of a wonderful icon of her forte and world, the incredible artist known to world as Banke Meshida-Lawal, we say to you queen feline, Long may your reign be, Happy birthday and keep purring!
