I Shamefully Admit...
Can somebody PLEASE tell me how to add colors and triple/quadruple font sizes on my blog?
After frustrating attempts, yes, I hang my head in shame. I don't know how to do it.

***Wedding Fever***
I find it very interesting that society is totally okay with you meeting this guy or girl and saying you want to spend the rest of your life with them! This strange union is called marriage (possibly another of life's many scams), but the idea works! The whole situation got me pensive someday when I thought of how people move from one continent to another because they are in love. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against it. It's just a little...a little... weird (at least from this perspective!)
So Nigeria was like a wedding ground this Christmas. I mean, one hundred weddings every weekend (not that I attended them all) or one Introduction or the other... Actually my aunty had one at my house and WHAT CAN I SAY???!!! It was L-I-V-E! As in, the marriage proposal was a golden scroll (neat eh?) And you pretty much had to make it rain on the drummers every time they hit that talking drum. Then there was the MC that just had a sugar-coated tongue. Like she could make you spray yourself by accident! lol And there was the food. Hmm, Yoruba people don't play. People from Ibadan wanted their amala and those from Ekiti wanted their own food. It was worth it in the end though!
Then my cousin also got married. *Very emotional moment for me here*...She was the 1st child in our generation to get married. It was happiness all the way! (*cough cough* Pix on Facebook)... And so much talk about weddings this holiday, it was crazy!
Meanwhile, my new wedding icon is Grace Ormonde. She is the Editor-In-Chief of Wedding Style magazine. Gracious! This mag will make you want to get married! lol Apart from the lush and heavenly settings and the REALLY good-looking men, some bridal styles got my attention. I thought they were very innovative and outside-the-boxish, lol...
1. Victorio and Lucchino - What can I say... Amazing Veil!
2. Raimon Bundo- Pure art. Who says your dress must be all white?
3. Manuel Mota for Pronovias- *chants Haaalleluyah!*
Now question, what colours do you intend to wear to your wedding?

...
Happy new year everyone!!! It's been over a month, I know, I know. And I apologize.
So MUCH has happened since then. The good, the bad and the ugly. I want to blog about everything in depth but I refuse to bore all you lovely folks who read this blog.
I guess the most significant thing is that I went to Nigeria for Christmas and New Year's... It was bluddy eventful and a wonderful mix of emotions, feelings and thoughts. The most amazing things happened, like me meeting Emmy Collins (the only male Nigerian designer I'm psyched about other than the Okunoren twins), he's as cool as his creations... Best believe!
And as for the Nigerian fashion scene? Hmm... Lemme just say too few risk-takers, too many followers. I won't go on but we will get there. I believe so.
What else??? Yeah, I wanted to kill Lagos drivers. They drive on side-walks, honk at every opportunity and don't understand what right of way is. I actually always forgot to make my mini placards saying 'YOU'RE VERY ANNOYING' 'OBEY TRAFFIC RULES, YOU MUMU!' 'DO NOT EVEN TOUCH THIS CAR'... One day it was so annoying that I wrote 'Scaredy cat!' to this man who was trying to get away from the mobile police at the expense of my mother's car! But he never came near the car again. I'm sure he would have said 'Look at this small girl, am I your mate?! Blah blah blah' Whatev!
Anyhow, I was very uninspired late last year for some weird reason. But I think it was just a transition from light to dark OR pale to rich, however you wanna look at it. My taste now leans towards intense hues, have no idea why *asks a pastor what that could mean* lol. I'm loving it though. There's just this very heavy, daring, saucy, confident, over-dramatic and somewhat sinful surge that comes over me when I think of fashion. Ideally, I can't stand pale, bright or light colors right now. Except white. Now I wear dark lipstick, dark nail polish and I just enjoy the bleeding effect. It scared me for a bit but I'm rolling with it anyway. I want to see where it takes me, hopefully into somewhere that oozes power, determination and inherent royalty.
Well well well, I'm back in school. Or as some say to me 'back to reality' but I beg to differ. I think this whole 'school thing' is just one of the many scams of life. I imagine the world to be very different and this institutional enchilada just doesn't fit in the picture. However, we are all victims of this ''scam'', including myself THEREFORE I must go to school and get one or two degrees or something like that. Just because you know of/about the scam does not mean that you're completely free from it. Your mind can be free but the physical remains what it is. You know, it's like the Matrix. (God bless Olumide A. and the Wachowski brothers!) That being said, I have fallen victim to this same delusional 'school system': I am a week late to school so I have 24 hrs to do an assignment that was done in a week. See what the scam is doing to poor me? Whatev, life goes on!
God bless,
DAVID

OD
I just ODd (overdosed) on Project Runway Season 4 and Project Runway Canada Season 1. For several reasons, I had no time to catch them on TV but I watched them religiously, back-to-back yesterday and today... Oh, and add some ANTM to that!
I feel quite sick having given so many opinions and seen so much creativity (and lack thereof). At the same time, I finally got inspiration for some salmon pink linen that has been sitting there for months... Let's see how this goes... *snapping some scissors*
My fave contestant. Totally LOVE him- Evan Biddell
Kisses overdose,

All Sins Can be Forgiven... Truly
Who has been converted now???
It's Katie Holmes!!!
Like dang, she don't even play no more! I'm sure all of you remember her from that Creek show (lol, I know it's Dawson's Creek. Not a fan of those teen series). I feel like her fashion inner being has been RENEWED! She has been saved and sanctified aesthetically. All her fashion sins have been forgiven and she is now PURE, CLEAN CUT (even her hair do, imagine?), ALL THAT EXTRA BAGGAGE SHE USED TO CARRY HAS BEEN LIFTED OFF HER! Can I get an amen, somebody?! Please, see for yourselves people and tell me I'm truthing.
BEFORE
AFTER DIVINE VISITATION...Voila!
From Glam to Mamma to Chic, she's still getting it right. I'm impressed. Very impressed.
*nodding my head in approval*

DAV!D's 1st Magazine Debut! Woot woot!!!
134Elitz Magazine baby!!!
I'm really excited about this magazine because it's one of the hottest things coming out of Canada now (we all know Canadians are typically mellow and so are the Nigerians that come here).But this one is LIVE! And it belongs to my darlings of *insert city name here* (I don't want stalkers following them)! Anyway, they're doing big things and I'm so honored to be a part of it. They featured me as one of their designers for their debut *tear* (Why am I crying sef? They had no choice, I'm mean like that! lol)...
Anyway, I just thought I'd give you lot a sneak peek. Oooohhh!!! Don't you just love the suspense from those, lol ;-)
So that's Queenette rocking the Bubblegum dress by DAV!D. She NAILED it. I was SO impressed with the variety she was throwing at the lens! Also, the pix were shot by me (these photographers were tripping, that's why, lol). And you'll see WAY more good stuff in this first issue!
So please grab your copy for only $5 in mid-late December and visit their site for more info
http://134elitz.com/ (currently in progress) and their blog, http://www.134elitz.blogspot.com/
GOD bless DAV!D, GOD bless YOU!
Massive Kisses!

At the Whim (of my NOT wanting to write my paper)...
1. Isn't it irritatting when people ADD you on Facebook and then put you on their LIMITED profile list? Insane, I think. (But I can definitely take that back if someone offers a reasonable rebuttal)...
2. Call it attention-seeking but I hate being ignored! I'd rather have you tell me upfront that you don't wish to speak than to act like I'm not there. Gosh!
My mother would do that for days and I'd just keep repeating myself 'Mum, when can I go with her?' 'Mum, when can I go with her?' 'Mum, when can I go with her?' 'Mum, when can I go with her?' 'Mum, when can I go with her?' 'Mum, when can I go with her?' And I'll say this to the power of infinity until something is done.
3. Why do some people act like school is all they live for? I'm sorry but if you're not an aspiring professor or researcher, then you are an aspiring loser to treat school like it's your life. Yes, I said it! *stick my tongue out to those in question*
4. Why is Keyshia Cole dressed like this? I have to honestly say I'm not really against it (I mean with a few touch-ups she can look like the true dime piece she's attempting to resemble)
BUT someone made this comment that got me dying!
5. And PLEAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEEE somebody tell me why there are no non-stop flights from Toronto to Lagos?! Damn Air Canada!

At the Whim!
***I HAVE SOME OBSERVATIONS I'D LIKE TO SHARE***
1. Why do we humans call one another ugly but think all dogs are 'cuuutee'. In fact, the 'uglier' a dog, the more beautiful we think it is!
2. I can't understand why people are fascinated with the smell of their fart! (When I say 'they' I mean it. I've never farted or done any of that nastiness in my life, sorry!) They 'hate' gross smells but when that H2S that smells like rotten eggs, spoiled beans and decayed broccoli comes out the hole, they stop in their tracks (if they are walking or something) and just 'live in the moment'... Somebody help me!
3. Why do people eat Brussel's sprouts?! WHY?! The nastiness is unbearable!
4. Why can't the West live without coffee? I mean, what is so necessary about that drink?
AND LASTLY somebody tell me where 'dance' can be found in grinding?

On a random, very understandable note...
EVERYTHING in my life is kicking my butt right now except my faith. I know a lotta you can relate to this; when things just get harder and more complicated. The more you try, the more you're tried *And I won't even sigh* I just need my 5 stones to get Goliath out my way. Be encouraged.
Love,
DAV!D
