Teen parties in Naija used to be fun, we would go to the party at 2pm and be back at 6pm. We also had names for the birthday parties, such as, corporate party (which meant that you must wear a tie!) lol, the house party 8 and all that and may I add by invitation only too. What I do remember vividly was going to a friend's party close to my home with my brother, where we all had so much fun! A classmate of mine came to my home that morning to plead that we pick her up! Well I asked to make sure her parents were aware that she was going because I did not want any yawa! Of course yes! she replied. So of course I made sure we picked her up. My bro went to the party with his best pal, I got driven to the party by the chauffeur. When I stopped by her house to pick her up, home girl ran out so fast. I got suspicious. Are we not going to greet her folks? I wondered. She simply said "Oh I do not want us to be late!" Fair enough we headed to the party! We had fun and then

In recent weeks Naija Socialites and Celebrities have been rocking the sari. Here are a one I find gorgeous! What is it about the Sari? "sari has often been described as 'the apparel that covers all, yet reveals all. What is it about this length of cloth wrapped around a woman's body that adds so much allure? Visitors from distant kingdoms and empires to India since time immemorial have been tantalized by bewitching Indian women clad in saris." source indianart cart So how has your week been? How much would you spend on a sari? Or rather how much do you spend on one?
