ABOUT THAT LONDON BASED STYLIST/PERSONAL BUYER THAT SELLS FAKE!




Truth be told, the gullible would always get taken for a ride, it's their lot and the only way they can learn is by experience. At least once in every man's life you need to fall mugu now, so that afterwards you would get brain and be sharp. Even the sharpest of the sharpest dey fall mumu too. So we think that's what this so called London, UK based stylist is probably exploiting. You be mumu and you want to show off, then fall mugu.

Since there is the unlimited demand to want to be the next Golden girl, the 'it' *girl of lady, as everyone wants to carry or wear the latest thing in fashion and there's the opportunity for money to be made from the gullible lot, why not then make use of the opportunity? According to the gist flying about town, half of those designer things you see many of these celebs front on the gram are supposedly F.A.K.E!!!

The major culprit being the world famous "Hermes Birkin Bag", that's the bag that Victoria Beckham owns over a hundred of.

The iconic bag has literally suffered loads in the hands of our "wannabe stars' ooooo. You see them all carrying various colours of a bag, in fact some colours that the company making them might not have even thought of making yet and that has a waiting list, queuing patiently to get one and that costs on the average, nothing less than $11000 (N3,960,000) upward per bag depending on the skin/leather used and can get to about $300000 (N108m) for the rarest skins, just for one bag!!!!

It is now this same bag that you now see one person owning not less than 5 or even more and then still owns various other types of designer bags like the Chanel, the LVs, the Celine etc..and shoes and gatbs and Rolexes, Cartier etc!!!!

It's either some unimaginable avalanche or rain of money is pouring down in torrents on these ladies and they don't know how to spend it and would just invests in bags and shoes, or that what you see them flaunt about with much aplomb are 1st grade copies from Napoli or some other places like from China.

And this renowned Stylist from the UK  favored by Nigerian celebs is majorly helping in the the sales of this fakes or copies!!!!! The celebs are either in the actual know or they are being taken for a mumu ride!!!!

BEYONCE IN GIVENCHY- IS THIS HOT OR IS THIS HOT HOT?

DIANA ROSS & BEYONCE CARTER

Mrs. Carter that is Beyonce is known for packing so much swag and style. She rocked this Diana Ross 1978 inspired sheer Givenchy dress that got everyone cooing. 

The mother of one's slinky Givenchy Haute Couture outfit had a plunging front and is see-through, she finished off the style with a bird's nest on her head. Diana Ross now in her 70s (she's 70 years old, born March 26, 1944) had worn something near similar at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in 1978, while attending the Motion Picture Pioneer of the Year Awards dinner.

Mennnnn!!!!!!!Diana Ross must have been something else in those days gone by.

RIHANNA EXPOSES BUM CRACK AT MET GALA AFTER PARTY


How more shocking can Rihanna get? We do not think her antics would surprise anyone anymore. At the Met Gala after party last night, she wore this derriere baring outfit, that showed her butt crack to all. The party was at the Up & Down Night Club in New York & she hosted the event.

The full length slinky gold dress, with a very low back, was too low that it exposed her bum crack for all the other guests.

Is this sexy or trashy?

Shan George (you all know who she is) has just released some new sets of pictures of herself looking sizzling gorgeous. The low hair cut loving actress/singer at 40 plus (she's actually 43 years old) still looks super cool and we just must commend her for taking good care of herself.

She reminds us of that Stevie Wonder's 1976 classic ''Isn't she lovely, isn't she wonderful''

OMOTOLA JALADE EKEINDE, NGOZI OKONJO-IWEALA AND OTHERS AT THE TIME 100 GALA

OMOTOLA JALADE-EKEINDE
NGOZI OKONJO-IWEALA
UZO ADUBA
GAYLE KING
PADMA LAKSHMI

Our very own star actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, who is gradually becoming a well recognized international star, joined our Finance Minister/Coordinating Minister in charge of the Economy at the Time 100 Gala 2014 red carpet on Tuesday, April 29, 2014.  Omo-Sexy like many of we her fans love to call her sizzled in a red outfit, that had a white applique with black trimmings at the front.


You all would recall that 2 top Nigerians, in the person of world's richest black man Alhaji Aliko Dangote, the President of the Dangote Group of Companies and Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, one of Nigeria's most influential person, were both listed amongst the very distinguished personalities that made up Time 100 Most Influential People in the World. In fact Aliko Dangote's accolade was written by the world's richest person, in the person of Bill Gates. While that of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was done by no less a personage than Bono of the world famous U2 band.

It was a night of glamour and pizazz to celebrate those that were listed in that illustrious company. While the dress-code was supposed to have been black-tie, all glam outfits many came just dressed as they felt. Also many of those listed were clearly absent at the event. 2 of those missing in action were the Cover girl on this year's edition of the Time 100 publication, in the person of Beyonce and also our own Alhaji Aliko Dangote.

JENNIFER HUDSON FASHION FAUX PAS


Not many liked what star musician/actress Jennifer Hudson wore very recently. The outfit was described as ''a sheer black dress that resembled an intimate piece of lingerie''. Since it seems the whole world is hooked on being sexy-trashy, that might have been why she channeled that style.

LUPITA NYONG'O, GABRIELLE UNION & KERRY ASOMUGHA MAKES THE LIST OF PEOPLE MAGAZINE 50 MOST BEAUTIFUL

LUPITA NYONG'O ON THE COVER
 
KERRY WASHINGTON


GABRIELLE UNION


3 of some of the most beautiful & gorgeous ladies in the world are dark skin queens. In fact one of them is African that is Kenyan Lupita Nyong'o who has swept the entire world off their feet. It has been a colossal 2 years for this Kenyan bombshell. Not only has she done well as a thespian (Oscar awards and many others now litter her table), she's also slayed all comers on the fashion stake (she's gotten my thumbs up for her style choices on many occasions). Then also she got the Lancome contract. No wonder People Magazine has duly recognized her contribution and she has been tagged the most beautiful for 2014. 

Also on that list that has many other gorgeous world famous beauties is super gorgeous Gabrielle Union, the 41 year old actress is a stunner any day. She and the other brown skinned gorgeousness personified, who is married to American-Nigerian- Nnamdi Asomugha, that is Kerry Washington-Asomugha were also listed in 2013. Making it 2 years in a row for the duo. 

Others on the list are the likes of Amber Heard, Molly Sims, Stacy Keibler, Pink, Mindy Kaling, Kerri Russell and a host of others.

IYABO OJO- HOT MESS OR BOMBSHELL?


There is a thin divide between doing it well and over doing it. Same as saying a thing line between being a bombshell- stand out gorgeousness personified and being a hot mess, a total hot wreck style-wise and otherwise. 


Where does star Yoruba movie star act Iyabo Ojo stand in this her package. One of the most common unspoken rule of thumb in fashion/style is that less is more. Check out the black lace outfit, great especially with the multicolored patch on the chest area. The coral beads accessories still gorgeous, then to the make up! a little less would have been great, but still OK. The front view of the hair is super nice, then she turns her back and its like a 'mane' explosion, in graduating colour mix- black, brown to blond. 

Mennnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!
