Emmanuel and I used to model together 7/8 years ago. I've retired and he's still doing what he loves... see the advantage of being a man? The lifespan for female models in Nigeria is short...

We try abi?
Daaaaaang, i'm sorry Linda but i'm mad at ya. I'm feeling honey right now with all these male models' pictures abeg. Do these guys pimp themselves out or what? Haba, kilode, o ti po ju o. They are just too good looking. Forget about the models from yankee etc, but these ones are the real deal o. I'm especially feeling Yemi Dreads. I've seen his pics in a few events too.
ReplyDeleteLinda, once again, you had to spoil all the pics with Cossy's picture. Tell me, did she bribe you to post her pics on your blog?
Overall, congrats on a successful event.
Great show,great images by TED,what a night!
ReplyDeletethe lady beside Rukkies is Dayo Adebayo,she runs BODY BEATIFUL STUDIO on Opebi road,she is Rukkies look-alike and pal.

ReplyDeletewell done. hard work sure pays
ReplyDeleteLinda I am so proud of you and the designers and models that showed! I never thought such a high quality event could be pulled off in Nigeria. I mean THISDAY have achieved a similar feat but the fact that FM&B is still fledgling makes it even more impressive.
ReplyDeleteDid you say you were on STYLE.com? Are you high?? lol...Love you lots though + Keep it up + Keep inspiring us out there that have dreams but are yet to fulfill them ;)

rita looks FAB PLEASE!!!
ReplyDeleteweldone linda. u inspire me
ReplyDeleteBabes...u try, no be small ooooooooooooooooooo. BTW...for me oh, Cossy Orjiakor has a nice asset. She did not buy nor inflate it - should it be possible. However, she decides to expose them, i would want to believe, is her bizness. Some peeps may not agree with me, i understand. And then again, some individuals have nice legs and they expose them by wearing above the knee skirts and gowns. Does that make them hoes & bitches? Hell! Nah.
ReplyDeleteOne can call me any name they wish, for what i have just said. Do i care? I don't think so. The key is accentuate your best ASSETS and mimimise your less than good assets as we all; females even males have SOME.
Li...i hope that i did not mess up someone's game, not referring to you, though, sweetheart. You know i love u ma. (I am no lesbian). Just correct sister love. Love what my Naija sister is doing as it is all POSITIVE.
You go, girl!
Kudos Linda.
ReplyDeleteOne question though, why was some/most of the sited guest looking worn out, dull, e.t.c. Was it not air conditioned in there? or drinks too expensive? microphone too cracky? interludes too long? or blocked vision to the stage/models?
Anyways. I still say kudos, you pulled off a big event.(large attendance).
Cheers
MK
u try ohhhhhhhhh! More power to you!
ReplyDeleteWell done Linda. Nice one. Do you know how many youths you have inspired through your mag, blogpage, and this programme you just did? That is why we feel your efforts should be appreciated.

ReplyDeleteMa girl....its a beautiful and colourful work.
ReplyDeleteBut help tell cossy that cant wear "cosset" to pls hide herself and those ......
First off, I'd start by asking, what was Cossy wearing?
ReplyDeleteKudos, you did pull off a good job.The guests seemed a bit bored and out of it or maybe they already had a long day.
some of the male models need to "rora" with some of the outfits they had on.Some were simply overreaching.Nice one.
Good on you , Linda. Better things ahead.
ReplyDeleteLEAVE COSSY ALONE! ( me crying)lol.
The gal has boobage, she likes to show it off b4 she becomes too old and has to cover up. She is an actress, so abeg like someone said free her. If she was in a regular profession i would say something but she is not.
With the back pain she would have to deal with, she might as well flaunt it ojare. Is it easy to carry load and hide it?
B4 i left Naija she granted an interview where she said,(paraphrasing here) if they do not like what i wear/do , they should hit their head on the wall and take Panadol.and that's the last word.
While I like firm abs with a slight outline of a 6 pack (my hubby's) that guy's abs make me want to throw a boiled egg at them.That thing fit wound somebody.
nice blog.
ReplyDeletewhat would the world do without nigerian men.... THE LOOK TOOOOO GOOOODDD....
