Virgin Atlantic crew member caught with drugs
I don't know how many people have heard this, but on August 8th 2007, a Virgin Atlantic crew member, 34 year old Mohammed Wudil was caught with 1. 743kg of cocaine. He claimed to have collected the cocaine from a Nigerian based in the UK for a fee of $4, 000. He is not a first time offender, he admitted embarking on similar ventures in the past. He was arrested by the NDLEA officers after a tip off...He faces a prison sentence and possibly have his crew licence withdrawn for life...sad huh?
Ibinabo Fiberesima denies being pregnant for star actor, Fred Amata...we believe her!
Yinka Ayefele's younger brother, Olu Ayefele died in a car accident on his way back to Akure after paying a courtesy visit to his brother in Ibadan. May his soul rest in peace!
Uche Odoputa convicted
Actor, Uche Odoputa, who was arrested in March 2007 for drug trafficking, was on Wednesday August 1st sentenced to 8 months in prison with no option of fine by a federal high court in Lagos...
Y'all remember top Yoruba actress Hassanat Taiwo Akinwande aka Wunmi, who was arrested and convicted for drug trafficking early this year? Well, she's documenting her drug experience in a movie called Ogun Oloro (Hard drugs). She wrote to NDLEA to use their facilities for the movie but they turned her down. NDLEA Chairman later told the press that the reason they turned Wunmi down was because she never corporated with their agency, refusing to tell them who the drug baron was...they want nothing to do with her! Who thinks her doing a movie about her arrest and conviction is a good idea?
I don't have that much news for now, will buy our local gossip mags and find time to load some things I dare to...meanwhile here's a pic of the traffic situation in Lagos, I took the picture from inside my car...

Know what I love most about my Job? I can wear anything I like to work...see the boobs? It's not easy sha! Thanks to my padded bra and pads...lolQuestion: Please I need your opinion about something...should the models for Catwalk wit Linda come on stage with their natural hair or should we put weaves on them? These girls are btw 17&20...if we're trying to discover new models...should they look as natural as possible or should we make them look sexy, glamorous and outrageously beautiful? Catwalk wit Linda is like a mini modeling competition where new models are discovered every week...so what do you think?
model hair: au naturel. if you have segments, if it is not shot live, then they can come back with a "polished" look so the scouts can see their potential for variety
ReplyDeletestop drinking so much soda girl!!
ReplyDeleteI think they should go natural.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness...!
ReplyDeleteYou still keep a 'Filofax?' - I have not seen that in ages. Be careful what you write in it. Nice top though! How are you? Good luck with the trailer.

Both but no over top obivous tacky looking weaves.
ReplyDelete1st thing 1st; are those pitures taken on 01/01/2004 or something/somebody messed up with the date thingy on your camera? Just curious...in case you're not passiing off old pics as recent ones.
ReplyDeleteMe I try to peep futher into da bra to see some tits...Looks good sha! (*salivating*)
Hey, go one step further, let them out without any make up. That's the best and fairest way to truly judge their physical beauty.
ReplyDeletethey should look glamorous for the viewers to really see their potentials.
ReplyDeleteLinda,you also know what i like about your job?Soft drinks are the order of the day(i think)."cunni smiles and walks away".

ReplyDelete@anon 4.08, thats my biggest issue...can't stop drinking soda.wink!
Oh yea, me loving the boobs. LOL!
ReplyDeleteHiya nice blog, i do think it depends on what theme you are going for with the catwalk show, but i say if they can just pull there hair back in a bun with straight weave or a Afro bunch at the back of the bun as long as the face and features are clear to all.
ReplyDeleteThis look does look uber glam.
Ciao..xx
I shoot fr fashion magazines in the UK for a living and tend to cover most of the big catwalk shows here. There are times one goes t catwalk shows for up & coming models and I am yet to see one where the models are not made to look their best.
ReplyDeleteIf you are going to go with natural hair, it has to look good, the hairstylist must have worked their magic, the aim of catwalk is not really about the model, but about the clothes, so if one is wearing wonderful beautiful clothes, then that person has to look wonderful and beautiful. If the clothes being modeled demand a natural look, then go natural
Hope this helps

Model calls here in the States, we leave hair natural, even for the black girls. It gives everyone an idea their face and how flexible the models can be. Their books/portfolio will probably have their looks with weaves.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! I think you should mix it up. Some wear weaves and the ones that don't can probably cut their hair. I mean short. Like Fantasia Barrino. But for the most part, many of them should wear weave. Different colors and styles.
ReplyDeleteGoodluck.
Corporate madam, na your fine fresh face i dey see so. As most have said, it's better to go with both natural and made-up looks. Try and invest in a good make-up artist and hair stylist. I wish i could see d show, pls try and upload it here. Wish u d best with d show.
ReplyDeleteyou should have a segment with natural hair, then another segment with the weave if you think it will improve their look like top model, sometimes ones natural hair don't do them justice.
ReplyDeletep.s i enjoy your blog

Linda,no contacts for Ndidi Azubuike anymore? What about her So sad.Can anyone out there can help? hey Linda,the name is Cunni4real with an 'i' and not with a 'y'like u always write.Just to rub it in.Have a nice day.

glad to b of help!
nice pics!
ReplyDeleteLinda you are gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteAs for the hair...go with what suits them.
For some girls, a nice long weave will look good.
And some others, a huge ass afro will look killer...!
So go with what you think suits them.
Kudos girl, and cant wait to come visit!
Wunmi should be ashamed of herself. what nonsence!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Linda!
