WHAT ABOUT THIS NEW THING CALLED "GENDERLESS STYLE"?

GENDERLESS? Neither male nor female, that's what it connotes immediately in the mind, no restrictions, no law, one can be on either side of the divide as one deem fit or okay, or is it like saying haemaphrodite both genders (organs) on one same one person? Can that even really be?

We ask that basically because there's nothing like being GENDERLESS! But in Fashion, genderless is gradually like the new rave or fad. Male wearing feminine outfits, garbs, ensemble without any fear of  being tagged.

Yes we quite understand that the female/feminine can afford to be genderless style wise, they can afford to be very "FLUID" which is what we know is referred to as "androgynous"!

But now also, it seems like that supposed fluidity has creeped into men fashion/style too, and some men have begun to greatly embrace it and are showing off their feminine side with much aplomb, displaying some Oomph factor or so it seem!

Yes we know that its not a totally new thing, we know many have always explored that other side of themselves openly, even though they did that such were immediately tagged and not seen as being straight. The GENDERLESS style we are talking about here is not just wearing those pants with skirts attached, we are talking about wearing female blouses, the skirts and female shoes etc, we mean the  whole 9 yards!

Someone like Denrele Edun that has consistently for a few years now done it, was seen as weird and maybe a cross between the 2 worlds. But some also too have thought that his various ensembles/garbs were part of act, a deliberate package of a personae he is projecting, which he is making money and livelihood from and that maybe he cannot be pigeonholed into a particular box because of that.

One person that has defied definition is Bobrisky, he without minding whose ox is gored, has been very open about his preference, he live, breathes, exhales, walk and sleeps it. He dresses very feminine with glee and much aplomb, he has since totally submitted to that side of himself. 

So would more men embrace the "genderless" style? Are we going to see more of our so called macho, more heterosexual men take up this genderless thing?

Everyone has come to expect something shocking from Denrele whenever he comes out, So this didn't shock too much!!!.

BBA WINNER-KAREN IGHO SAYS NO FIGHT WITH VIMBAI

Karen Igho the winner of the last BBA Competition has tried to put the record straight about her supposed rift with a former housemate-Vimbai.

We got a press release from her publicist this morning, trying to explain her side of the whole issue. To understand the whole shenanigan, we would just quickly remind all, what the issue(s) is/are. There were speculations and rumours last week that Ms Karen Igho refused to do a magazine cover shoot with Vimbai (her former Zimbabwean BBA housemate).

KAREN IGHO-WINNER BIG BROTHER

DENRELE EDUN

This is Karen’s response to the whole situation, through her publicist-

A press release allegedly by a representative of Vimbai Mutinhiri (former BBA housemate from Zimbabwe) on the viral social media story– which suggests that the effervescent Ms Karen Igho, deliberately refused to be part of a photo shoot session with her for ‘Miss Dee’ magazine.

 While Ms Karen frowns on any form of ‘SHE SAID, HE SAID’ controversy, she feels compelled for the love of her ever supportive fans and media friends to make her position on the rumours public.

 Ms Igho was approached in Abuja on the 4th September, 2011 by the publisher of Miss Dee magazine at a casual meet to participate in a photo shoot for the magazine, but no exact time was proposed because at the time Ms Karen was preoccupied with spending quality time with her family in Jos; more so as she had just returned from the BigBrother Africa house and needed a relief from the Amplified euphoria.

 However, Ms Karen recently got a call with respect to the photo shoot, but was engaged on the ‘Heavy Beauty’ movie production set along with her friend Mr Denrele Edun, making it difficult to leave Lagos at that time. Hence, it was not practical that Ms Igho who was on a movie set in Lagos could have refused or walked away from being part of a photo shoot session with Vimbai in Abuja.

 Ms Karen has being in frequent communication with the other housemates, even proven with the time spent with Millicent (Kenya) when she came to Nigeria in spite of the ‘House’ confrontations between both during the BBA game episode.

 To further reinforce Ms Karen Igho’s friendly disposition to her fellow housemates from BBA Amplified; Ms Karen had begun sending out official invites to WENDALL PARSON (Zimbabwe), LUCLAY ‘MR OTONO’ (S/Africa), WEZA SOLANGE (Angola), LOMWE (Malawi), MUMBA MWAKWA (Zambia), BERNADINA BUYS (Namibia) and their country counterparts in the BBA house in anticipation of a reunion party in Nigeria towards her April 6th birthday celebration. The weekend activity will feature the launch of Ms Karen’s T-shirt line, a BBA housemates’ media tour, charity visits to orphanage homes and the media launch of her upcoming reality TV shoot (details will be made explicit in a release towards the event date).

 It is Ms Karen’s view that if  Vimbai had something to say to her friend, Mr Denrele Edun it’s best done through inter-personal communication and she frowns at any insinuation of ‘war’ with anyone, as in the words of the Destiny Child’s song ‘Survivor’ Miss Karen is better than that.

Finally, we like to empathize with ‘Miss Dee’ magazine and request that the media please redirect their channel of inquiry.

Thank you.
