I Am Not My Clothes

Hey guys, how's the weekend coming up? I'm sure you had a wonderful Friday night. Did you let your hair loose or were you guarded by beliefs peculiar to you?

I was on my own this morning, preparing for my power-point presentation when I stumbled on some pictures posted on Cosmopolitan's Online Blog. I found it very interesting to share, but before I do, here's a teaser.

How many times have you tried to make a decision about what to wear and it seemed like an uphill task? Is it because most ladies sincerely don't know what to wear or because you are faced with the challenge of not creating the wrong impression in the minds of her family, friends, colleagues, admirers or/and strangers?

I won't conclude yet but I can bet that often times than not, the second instance is the reason most ladies spend hours in their closet in the bid to get the most appropriate outfit. 

Should a lady's worth be judged by what she wears?


Terre Des Femmes, a Swiss organization for gender equality, is fighting back against the unfair judgment women and girls face about how they dress with an ad campaign called "Don't Measure a Woman's Worth by Her Clothes." Along with students at the Miami Ad School in Germany, artist Theresa Wlokka created three powerful images, depicting commonly sexualized areas (like a woman's chest and legs) alongside "measuring sticks." culled from Cosmo.

A woman's heel
A woman's chest

There you have it. Do share your opinion with me, I'd really love to know what you feel about this.

Have a great weekend guys, Peace, Love and Stay Fit.

AWAITING OUR OWN MAX - LESSON FROM 'ELYSIUM'

By Bamidele Salako If you’re yet to see Elysium, one of the rave-making blockbuster movies of this summer, then I advise you grab a copy now or get to the nearest cinema ASAP (it’s still showing in theatres) where you can be accorded the ultimate movie viewing experience – if you can afford it lol. Don’t get me wrong o! This is not a paid advertisement or promo for the movie or for film houses; Elysium is simply a must-watch, not just for movie aficionados but for all Nigerians who are burdened by the seemingly never changing state of affairs in our dear country – our intractable unpleasant collective existence which has unwittingly produced the popular enduring mantra – “E go better.”     Except on very special occasions, I am not one to go to the movies for the sheer pleasure of it. It’s not in my culture. My best moments are the ones I spend alone reading good books or surfing the internet for an eclectic array of great opinion pieces, news features, a...

Asoebi: Felicitation or Burden?

It's the start of the weekend and boy am I excited.   I can imagine you on the other hand have an event or a list of events lined up to make your weekend interesting. I'm just going to be in my room, on my bed, sipping cocoa, indulging in my favourite pastime activity; blogging, reading and listening to classical music, don't hate. #noteverytimeturnup. But for now, I'll share with you a little something something. So, as I stepped out of church on one sunday like that, I bumped into a childhood friend. Looking at how grown she looked made me realise I don old sha! If you are a catholic like I am, you will agree with me that not all your catheticism classmates remain in the fold as you grow. Many will leave to find their salvation elsewhere, personal reasons or relocation. This was why I was shocked when I saw my old friend. What had she come to do, I quizzed my mind. Then it occurred to me that only one thing could bring her back, at this time. Wedding?
