This weekend I did something I haven't done in a while. No, not sex...shopping! lol. I shopped like crazy from Friday through Saturday, relaxed on Sunday then continued on Monday.
When I say shopping, I mean I really really shopped. I bought things that I can't even pronounce...lol. I got this 'dash' money and y'all know how sweet it is to spend money you didn't work for. lol! I mean I am a business woman and most times I put my profit back into my business, so usually I don't have that much money to play around with. I don't get 'free' money that often, so whenever I get it, it's always a treat. I even got myself a stylist. He's clothing me for the Soundcity Music Video awards. When y'all see the pix from the show and don't like what I'm wearing, I will give you all Gbemi's number to call and give him a piece of your mind...lol!
I am also supposed to do the countdown to the SMVA on Soundcity's 'Style Agent 101' programme. Basically telling people what to wear and what not to wear, the kind of make up to go for, appropriate shoes for the red carpet, how to combine colours etc...but the thing is, I have absolutely no idea what's in vogue so I don't know how I'm gonna fair on that one. So if you have any advise for me, do share. I don't want to embarrass myself on TV. My bad English is enough...lol!
I didn't work most part of last week and I ain't working most part of this week. Tomorrow, I'll be at the salon most part of the day, Thursday is the TV shoot, and Friday is the SHOW! I'm mos def gonna be there! I'm also supposed to do a TV interview with a new TV programme called Glamour TV. If it doesn't happen this Friday, it's gonna happen next week (I'm feeling like a celeb huh? e no easy! lol) I hear the TV show will be very exciting...so watch out for it.
Oh by the way, I now officially have four designer bags. A Fendi, a Cacharel, an Armani and a Louis Vuitton. Aint that something? lol. Not a big deal huh? Yeah well I have had bags but there was nothing 'designer' about any of them until now, so leave me to enjoy making the announcement...lol!
My sis Vera threw my LV bag into the thrash (not even funny!) just 'cos I told her to handle the bag with care. She was like 'get over yourself already' lol! She's a flygirl so she has all kinds of designer bags, this is all new to me. I have small money but I can't spend 50grand on a bag(at least not now)...so yes, they are all gifts. It's not easy to be a fine girl now is it? lol!

Miss Li... Welcome back - you and your fine self. Girl... pls, rock your designer bags, and like you said, "it ain't easy being a fine chick." You'll do just fine as a presenter. O gini di!
Anyway... have fun at the Soundcity awards event. You sure deserve it, girl, u work hard.
A'int i right?
Linda welcome back,
Happy for Munachi because Psquare is way better than that useless Lanre Nzeribe she dated last year
Sometime ago you talked about medical incompetence in Nigeria and felt "people" should do something about it but when you get a little money you buy designer bags and do nothing towards helping the country with your own money. I guess its other people that should fix Nigeria. Try to donate a little bit to orphanages and the less priviledged. One designer bag is ebough. Nobody needs 4.
@anon 10;54, I think u shud go back and read where I said the bags were gifts. U wanna know how many less priviledged people I help? I will tell u that story one day. Cheers.
I read it again and I don't see where someone "dashed" you handbags. Someone gave you money ...money ok? which you spent on handbags. One Fendi is like how much? And someone "dashed" you enough money to buy 4 designer bags. Please hold on let me go buy the Brooklyn bridge while we are telling long tales. And I'm all ear about what you do for the needy. Pray tell please.
@anon...
here it is...
I have small money but I can't spend 50grand on a bag (at least not now)...so yes, they are all gifts. It's not easy to be a fine girl now is it? lol!
cheers.
you know what they say ... beauty fades but dumb is forever.
@ anon 4:04pm
ur such a looser. u obviously just one silly arse hater.
she told u the bags were gifts, it was now her beauty u went 2 attack, lol...how sad a person u are!!
read ur comments again, gosh u r so silly!
Nice Write Up, I think i will become a passionate follower of your blog
Hey Linda, read your blog with so much enthusiasm – very well written. However I was just wondering, the LV bag you refer to and the other designer bags, do you imply they cost for about 50K naira each. You need to tell us were you got those deals from as the cheapest LV bag I had come across is about £500. I don’t mind getting one at that price for a very dear sister. Cheers!!!
I just started blogging and it seems you are one of the most popular bloggers in Nigeria! Keep up the good work.
What about Paul and the lady that was pregnant for him? I heard the twins both have big penis that's why ladies drool after them ;-)
