WHO IS THE ULTIMATE QUEEN OF FLUXING BETWEEN IMELDA & TM?

Toke 



Emelda



Everything about the 2 of these gorgeous ladies speaks/shouts FLUXING heaven. Both are 'avowed fashionistas' to the core. We doubt if there's any 'visible female celebrity' worth their salt currently on their levels. Toke particularly maybe because she's more in our eyes stands out the more. Her 'multimillionaire Naira' valued home, must be filled to the brim with awesome  fashion apparels that would astound the biggest collectors, be they shoes and bags, clothes/garbs, accessories and things she gat them all.

Except for maybe bags and shoes that can be repeated, basically because we all most often have our favorites that can be carried more often, we don't think Toke has repeated any garb she's worn before in eons. It's always something new everyday. Her collection of branded handbags must be out of the world by now. From the Hermes Birkins and Kellys in different colours, to the Balenciagas, Guccis, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Celines, LVs etc. She most definitely might have a whole room as her walk-in closet, which would be some kind of heaven for some other ladies out there. Her Jewelry/watch collection cannot be less than 20m, even closer to 50m if not more. We are talking about the Rolexes, Audemars and Cartiers and the likes she loves to wear plus them trinkets, studs etc......

The well paid OAP, also best-selling author, influencer-another space where she makes cool consistent millions from, fashionista to the core, has certainly done well for herself in the last 4 to 5 years. After seemingly escaping from a troubling relationship/marriage that seem to have held her down. She seemingly arose from her doldrum, her own ashes like a Phoenix and has since not looked back ever again. She has her own hand bag brand TM, and truth be told without mincing words, those bags are super well made. If Nigerians would support each other and not have some other negative thoughts in mind, by virtue of those bags alone, she could already have hit pay dirt sinc, llike she must have struck oil or a diamond mine. She also owns her own body care range, though it's more underground than out there and has not grabbed our attention like it was intended. Is Toke our own 'Nigerian Kylie Jenner' in the making? Is she the ultimate queen of FLUXING?

Don't under estimate her at all! For someone who clearly has the Kardashian's as one of her heroes, she might be on her way to getting to the very top. And to dismiss her ambition is to do so at one's peril.

For Imelda, she has not been there at the top somewhat has much as Toke. But in the last year and maybe half, she's climbed quite rapidly up that ladder and has been causing major headache for others who see her. She has become a fashionista of note to fear and respect. Over the short period of time, she has acquired all the bags, shoes, clothes and things that many had taken eons to acquire. Who says money, good money at that, can't buy it all???? Hmmmmmm.....

Unlike Toke though, whose vocation is more known, we only know the periphery about Imelda sometimes spelt Emelda. She was supposed to have owned a lifestyle store selling hair before and it's been said that a super luxury store is upcoming soon. Her garbs and accessories are to die for in the last a year and half. And as a testament to her arrival on the scene and no more on the periphery, she launched her brand spanking new, black Range Rover that did set her back a couple of tens of millions earlier this year, more precisely a few months ago.

Both ladies do strictly 'Business Class' and might do 1st class also a few times depending and in fact may do private sometimes. While Imelda's chariot is the 2019 version or better put edition, Toke's Range Rover Sport is about a few years older. Though someone had tried to claim she has a Bentley tucked or packed quietly away somewhere, knowing her we know that if she has bought such, she would have driven it and not hid it at all.

While Toke's self owned Ikoyi apartment is known to have cost her some whooping hundred of millions plus, we have only heard that Imelda owns her own property(ies) too (speculated to be in the GRA/Island).

Both ladies are single, we don't  know if they are searching. They are 'avid travelers' and like those who know them says, very fun to be with.

Who then of these 2 is the "ultimate queen of FLUXING"!!!!

See our 2 delightsome gold fishes with no hiding place splattered all over this post.  Dazzling all comers in these pictures.

Plenty more after the break.

WHAT A SAD INCONSOLABLE LOSS, AS MAUFECHI'S MAUREEN ONIGBANJO LOSES DEAR SON.


Maureen Onigbanjo 

The sad news came as a major shock to all. It's not the kind of thing anyone prays for or wants to even happen to anyone close to them.

The Lagos social firmament are mourning with one of their own on the sad demise of her 1st son so untimely.

The loss of any person is shocking already, but when the parent(s) is/are still alive and kicking and then one loses their child; one with a good head for that matter, handsome and well read, with the future still ahead brightly and horizons to conquer beckoning, in this case a good son, then it's totally inconsolable. And that's the story right now!

So top socialite and award winning designer of note of several years, the super gorgeous and stylish Maureen Onigbanjo of the Maufechi Fashion House fame, has just lost her son, a 31 year old man in London to the colds hands of death. Shocking! yes quite shocking!

It has been grief and anguish at the Onigbanjo's since the sadness occurrence meandered in, as they mourn the death of one of their sons 'Olawale Opeyemi Onigbanjo Junior' at just 31 in London.

It wasn't that too long ago that the kindhearted and beautiful lady lost her handsome husband-Wale Onigbanjo to the grim reaper, and in fact due to that loss, she had gone into her shell somewhat and was still mourning, only now for their son to pass on so untimely too. Shame on you death!

If death had demanded for money to be placated so as not to strike, we are too sure it would have received something quite hefty from the Onigbanjos, or even if it was good behaviour, talent and how cool a person looks or even great connection, then the 31 year old would have been brought back to life or wouldn't have even died in the first place at all. But alas, what can we do? Such is life, the grim reaper who reaps where it didn't sow, who harvests where it didn't plant, came, knocking at a terrible time and like it always does, grabbed, stole, robbed and killed and left anguish and uncontrollable tears in its wake. Mrs. Onigbanjo only clocked 60 not too long ago.

Wednesday July 8, 2015 was a grim day in the household of the Onigbanjos as that was the day 'Olawale Onigbanjo Senior' passed on untimely at age 57, having been born in Chelsea, London in 1959. Friday, July 24, 2015 was when he was  buried in Ikoyi, Lagos.

The young man, that is the now late 'Olawale Opeyemi Onigbanjo Junior' is survived by his mom, Maureen, his brother, a 6 plus footer ex-basketball player BabaFemi Oluwafeyisola Onigbanjo, 22 and a sister--Morenike Ololade Onigbanjo, 26.

The late Olawale Opeyemi Onigbanjo Junior was born in 1988, 4 years after his parents met & married in 1984.

As death has now done its worst, we pray that the good Lord would grant the dearly departed soul rest and that his family would have the strength and courage to bear this unfortunate demise.

COMPLETE FASHION MAGAZINE'S CF 20 WORLD CLASS SHINDIG

TONTO DIKEH
WAJE 
WAJE & OHIMAI
VAN VICKER & NADIA BUARI
Dateline-Lagos, Nigeria. June 23, 2012. It was tagged Cf 20 Style Night. Complete Magazine is arguably one of the best selling and most popular lifestyle magazines in Nigeria, and the celebration was for her 20th edition and 2nd year of her existence.
The venue of the top class shindig was Civic Center, on Ozumba Mbadiwe, Victoria Island, Lagos, across the 1004 Estate. Truth be told, it was a very well put together party. The invite had stated very clearly what the dress code should be, Black Tie outfit or glamorous, but like its typical of Nigerians never one to conform to instructions, many did their best to look outstandingly gorgeous, while some and many of them known people who should have known best were so flagrant in their disregard for the dress code, we love Nigerians own interpretations of what they think is Black-tie and glam, some of those interpretations were totally absurd. We saw a supposedly dapper dude wearing a too tight, 4-buttoned (gold buttons at that) Brown suit, which was just one out of the many absurd collections. But that didn’t in anyway taint the night.

Everyone who came, attested to the fact that it was very well attended and also that many tried their best to look great. We saw the now super trim Ramsay Noauh in his white tuxedo, looking quite dapper; we saw Ghanaian hearthrobs Van Vicker and Nadia Buari, though both looking cool, their dress sense is whack!

We saw Waje in her hot pink outfit, so also Annie Macaulay Idibia Tuface’s wife, Tonto Dikeh was also in attendance in that gold outfit with the double slit at the front, she’s lost so much weight, she came in with her stylist Toyin Lawani, Ohimai Atafo, the designer came in wearing plaid trousers and on top was his white jacket, looking very different. Eunice Efole, Tinsel’s Damilola Adegbite and ex- Miss Nigeria Ene Maya Lawani all wore beautiful black ensembles. Young Designer Ugonna Omeruo of the House of Nwocha, whose dress Damilola wore, came in wearing an all white outfit, Yvonne 'Vixen' Ekwerre came in wearing a stunner, that got many talking . There were so many guests in attendance, that it is impossible to mention them all.  The First Lady of Lagos State- Dame Abimbola Fashola, was the Special Guest of Honor at the beautiful event.

We have the event for you in pictures. Enjoy!

WE LOVE THE SUNNY ROSE SPRING/SUMMER LOOKBOOK 2012


We first came across this fashion brand at the last MTN Fashion showcase in Lagos, Nigeria, late last year 2011. At first, we couldn't believe it was a Nigerian brand. Not that there was anything wrong with the Nigerian fashion brand, we were just totally mesmerized by the very obvious attention to detail that was evident in all the things that made up the collection. Her leather-ware collection- mostly bags, can rival any of the top brands in the world, in terms of beauty, in terms of craft, in terms of finishing, they were things any fashionista worth her salt would carry anywhere with much aplomb.

That was mostly what we saw, thinking that was all, until we saw her unbelievable fashion showcase on the catwalk and we were totally bought over. Her clothing line was as good as her leather-ware collection.

Sunny Rose by Maureen Okogwu is a brand we believe that would take Nigeria to the world most prestigious fashion capitals- Paris, Milan, New York, London. And pretty soon. In this post, we have for you her spring/ summer 2012 look-book.

Enjoy!!!

TONI TONES EXTENDS CREATIVE FRONTIER

Many already know her to be a creative maven. She handles the Camera like Lionel Messi handles the round leather ball, such vision, such ease and dexterity. When counting the best photographers in town , she would rate very well amongst the masters.

What's so new about that? We already know her to be that good. Don't you all worry your head sick. What's hot about her right now is that, she has moved on to take over another realm of the creative industry. Instead of her being behind the camera in the background, she would now be the one in front of the camera, the cynosure of all eyes, how do you mean? Many would want to know. The  very gorgeous Tony Tones as now taken on acting!

According to our bird in the sky with roving eyes, who seems to see all and know all the real gists. Toni according to our snoop would be appearing in a new upcoming drama series called- Gidi Culture and not as a ''waka pass oo'', but playing a prominent lead role. On what the drama series itself is all about, we do not yet know, but we are still digging so we can give you the full gist. One major thing we have been able to ascertain for a fact is that the production is first class.

This might be Toni Tones launch pad to stardom in Hollywood, if she conquers Nigeria and Africa with her acting skills. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Toni is a graduate of the University of Lancaster, where she got a degree in Economics and Marketing, after graduation she delved into photography and mentored in the UK at Suby & Sinem. She thereafter returned to Nigeria, since then showing her creative skills as a photographer of international standing. She's presently the editor-in-chief of an online fashion magazine called- The fancyhub.com

We wish the very sweet lady all the best in this new venture.


TISHA MARIE ROCKS!!!!!!!!

COVER OF PLAYBOY FEBRUARY 2011

TISHA AT ARISE 2012 IN LAGOS - PHOTO WAS BY MM
We came across this hotness!!! Personified by chance at the last Arise Fashion Week 2012 a few weeks back at the Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos. She was one of the many who came in from all over the world to catch the vibes at the Fashion week. We were immediately enveloped by her gorgeousness and those piercing 'cat eyes' and she was all cool and very nice, and she didn't form 'unnecessary paparazzi' like some others in her shoes would have done. So we did a little digging and we found out that she was a 'celeb' in the U.S.

With a mind-blowing statistics 32D-25-38 body, Tisha Marie had covered the February 2011 cover of wait for it- PLAYBOY Magazine. And don't think because she's done that, to feel she's a dumb bimbo, far from it. The Oklahoma native, has a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Art & Human Relations.

The gorgeous eye candy is a former professional football player, for the Lingerie Football League's Dallas Desire. She has also featured like 2 more times in Playboy Magazine apart from the cover- March and April 2011, she was a Hooter's Swimsuit Model 2010-2011 and has done several other gigs, including as a video vixen in several musical videos- Snoop Dogg-(''Tell Me What You Really Want''),Gucci Mane- (''Okay With Me''), Young Jeezy- (''SupaFreak'').

 Hear her-
What makes you sexy? - My Confidence and My Positive Self-Esteem.

What part of your body are you most complimented on- Everyone loves my eyes. They say they are ''Cat Eyes''.
We won’t mention some of the ''BIG BOYS'' we say her with. But we would gladly say- She's GORGEOUS.
