WHEN KIKA OSUNDE TOOK OVER PARIS FOR HER BIRTHDAY & DAZZLED ALL COMERS









Kika Osunde is not an unknown to regular readers of this outstanding platform. Some would even refer to her as our regular customer. She's in fact, a part of one of our most well read stories of all time to date. But for emphasis sake, we will do a recap kind of introduction of her.

She is the outstandingly snazzy, totally in your face, most  exciting, badass fashionista friend and partner of the equally exciting & elegant lawyer cum entrepreneur, Chioma Ikokwu. Both gorgeous ladies in their early 30s, are packed filled with so much oomph & are the owners of the quite popular hair brand, Good Hair Ltd and also that top lifestyle convergence point, Brass & Copper, both brands are located at the same address, in the Lekki Phase 1 axis of Lagos.

Their Good Hair Ltd brand which is now a decade (10) old, is actually top 5 best selling hair brand in the whole of Nigeria and the HQ of their business is London, but with a sub-headquarter in Lagos. While London handles the international arm of the business, Lagos deals with Nigeria and Africa part of the business.

So Kika aka Keeks was a year older just 2 days ago, that being Sunday, December 1, 2019. And the beautiful Sagittarian actually clocked 30 something, her early 30s if we were to be more precise
and from what we were able to find out, this birthday would be one to remember for quite a bit too.

Firstly she was said to have flown from London on a lap of honour to romantic & supremely elegant Paris with her mom and just a friend in tow. She lodged at the 4 Seasons George V Hotel Paris, which is an Iconic hotel and in fact, a top 10 luxury hotel in Paris. It was here that the Anumudus of the Globe Motors fame, that they had their outstanding destination wedding months ago. An authentic 5-star hotel by all standards. She thereafter went to L'Arc Paris Night Club on Rue de Presbourg, an elite nightclub where her throw-down took place. And it was a first class throw-down all the way, as Pernod Ricard, who are one of the supporters/partners of Brass & Copper, who incidentally were in Paris for their annual retreat went all out splashing what was said to be about €10000 Euros (fully unconfirmed though), on champagne, other liquor and what have you to make the day quite special for Kika.

The birthday gal herself who wouldn't say no at all to a good deed done for her, had an absolutely smashing time in Paris and as was expected later did enough shopping to add to her already over filled wardrobe that's already busting at the seams with fantastic items. If what we hear is true and confirmed latter, the unrepentant and inimitable fashionista might soon be unveiled too as an ambassador of the Alexander Wang brand, which is an  eponymous American fashion label.That would most definitely be a big deal. And that would most definitely place her in a class of her own, on another pedestal that all others would begin to run after again. The brand representatives of Alexander Wang were said to have also taken her out in London for her birthday as some sort of appreciation, maybe for being a great customer over the years?

So instead of a more loud birthday celebration with plenty of friends on some exotic islands and destinations as was expected, it was a more intimate experience for Kika as she clocked 3? She's just a tiny few years older than her best friend forever Chioma, who she actually met years ago at the University of Birmingham, where she had studied for a degree in Business and Marketing and where she came out with an outstanding 21 to the boot. So hers is most definitely beauty with brain. Not a dumb blonde or platinum bimbo.

So we here at MM are wishing Kika or Kiks or Keeks or even Ronks, a Happy, most delightsome birthday and more beautiful and outstandingly colorful years ahead.

NICKI 'THE BRALESS WONDER' STUNS IN GREEN




Can there be more shock after the release of the Anaconda video, rated as one of the most audaciously vulgar videotapes to date? We are of the opinion that there is not much shock that Nicki Minaj can deliver again; except maybe she decides to do a porn movie or perform totally nude on stage!!! That we are too sure she wouldn't want to engage in.

The very talented entertainer rocked Paris, France at the uber cool Club 79 and left many 'ogling green' with envy, with that her outfit that left very little to the imagination.

It was a green outfit, a green turtle neck crop top and a body hugging tight leggings, that formed her sexy shape to the max. It was obvious that the top was way too small for her voluptuous chest. As she was dancing her under-boob was gloriously peeping out for all to see. She covered her ample derriere with a jumper of the same colour as her outfit.

OYO STATE FIRST DAUGHTER ABISOLA KOLAPO DAISI IN FLORENCE FOR KIMYE'S STAR STUDDED WEDDING

ABISOLA & LALA

ABISOLA & LALA ANTHONY


MALIKA, LALA,ABISOLA & 2 OTHERS

ABISOLA & SERENA WILLIAMS

One of the top celebrities that might have attended the nuptial ceremony between Kim Kardashian & Kanye West in Florence, the capital city of Tuscany in Italy is none other than Abisola Kolapo Daisi, celebrity first daughter of His Excellency, The Executive Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi.
Abisola who had lived in Los Angeles, California, USA sometime ago and counted as friends, some of the celebrities and stars, was seen in some snapshots, with a few of those who were sure to attend what many have come to tag as the 'Celebrity Wedding of the Year' the KIMYE Nuptial. At least judging by some of the snapshots we have come across showing the mother of 2, posing with and taking pictures with the likes of tennis star Serena Williams, who is a close friend of the Kim, another shot saw her with Lala Anthony who is another good friend of Kim and another shot saw her with some others that we couldn't readily ascertain. The shots were taken in Paris, France at one of the several pre-wedding parties held for Kim before the main deal in Florence. Lala Anthony one of the stars at the party and one of those in the snapshots, had worn to the particular party, a $4550 dollar brown Givenchy Harness Draped Silk Jersey Dress.

So it is most probable, that Abisola was one of the few distinguished guests invited to attend the one in town ceremony. Any which way, she's a celeb in her own right, who moves in the circle of American superstars. Remember that Kelly Rowland, the super star musician, who was a former member of Destiny's Child was at her store in Lagos sometime back to engage in some retail therapy, while visiting an old friend after her Lagos concert, long before Kelly's visit, another friend in the person of  Malika Haqq, a very close friend of Khloe Kardashian, had also visited her many months back, when she had just opened the said Lifestyle store.

SUPER GORGEOUS RITA DOMINIC COVERS THE LOVE EDITION OF GENEVIEVE MAGAZINE


2013 was surely a fantastic year for this very stylish thespian extraordinaire, the incredibly talented Rita Waturocha Dominic. And she seems to have carried that spark into 2014. Her movie ''The Meeting'' from all indications we hear has broken sales record, it has been sold out many times over. Apart from this we are also of the opinion that she was one of the most prominent actress/entertainment star of 2013, especially on the style stake. She had so many hits that we couldn't readily remember if there was any miss.


Dimeji Alara is back at Genevieve Magazine as the editor and he is already making his power felt, there's a resurgence from the brand and with this new edition they seem to be signposting that they are back with a bang and with far more energy than before.

The gorgeous and superlatively stylish Rita Dominic is the cover personality on this must have edition and she sure looks HOT!!! Cover picture was done by the very talented TY Bello. This February 2014 (Valentine Edition) of the lifestyle magazine marks the 11th anniversary of the magazine. The sweet one in her interview reveals why she's not married yet and loads more about herself. It's an exciting peek into the life of Rita Dominic. The edition also features the ''Genevieve Day Out event that held very recently at the Lagos Polo Club in Ikoyi and also a fashion story in wait for it ................................Paris!!! The most often referred to as the most romantic place in the world.
