Merry Blessed Christmas
Ill be honest, i woke up today, and as Tosyn drove to work, and i saw no lights, heard no bangers, and thought about the no plans for the day, i wondered what changed in twelve months!!!
Last year was different, it was fun, it sparkled, it rocked, we were happy!
There might be no fuel, possibly no light, and maybe no money, but guys, there is still family, and there are still friends
So please, have a merry and blessed christmas
They cant keep us down

The Nominees Ball!
You never know how a Nominees Ball is going to go!
But as Nominees Balls go, well, this one went well!
But wait! WHAT is a Nominees BALL????
Moving on...
Got there at 6pm, thanks to the queue i had to join to be able to get there. Chei! Fuel Scarcity at christmas? We reject it!!!
The Red Carpet was red, and the cameras were flashing! Some people juts popped on that carpet! Loved Ify Otuya, Denrele, Dipo Okuribido, Yvonne Vixen, and of course, those models with the impossibly long legs!
There were cocktails, and of course i made a beeline for that table! But also had time to air kiss, hug, peck, get one or two autographs (yes o!), and took pictures! The ushers looked simple but nice (white and green can pop you know) and there was just a general good vibe around!
The venue was Terra Kulture, and my friend made me go eat Ofada Rice at the restuarant before things kicked off. So blame her for my missing the first set of nominee categories that were called.
Thankfully, i did not miss Fela Durotoye's interesting speech, nor the next set, nor the fashion show (House of Nwocha had some clothes o! Chei!). Problem was, for some reason, the audience was just sitting and being a tad stiff! Made noisemakers like myself go quiet and stand for most of the event.
I mean, from Lami, to Segun Obe, to the M.C's (Gbemileke and Seun), the content was fab! And not to mention Whiz Kid...
You first heard him on 'Fast Money Fast Cars' where he did the hook, but get ready to HOLLER AT YOUR BOY soon!
Everyone looked good by the way.... but... with no dress code, we were all free to decide! I opted for a black and white dress (and so did most of the other ladies). Spotted some really interesting outfits. And this for the Nominees Ball? So what will happen at the Awards proper?
Okay na!

More on Mushin Makeover!
Hi folks!
As you know, the make over Mushin project is on sat the 12th of December, and its gathering momentum with more sign ups, donations and support pouring in!
Here is the latest we have heard!
A paint company in Port Harcourt has donated a thousand buckets of paint! And one or two more are to get on board! Speaking of paint though, we actually still need buckets loads! So could you buy a bucket for us today?
You can drop your bucket of paint off at House of Tara in V.I and Ikeja, TREM, or Guardian at Oshodi-Apapa expressway!
We hope you plan to be there? I recommend a pair of jeans (not your favourite), a teeshirt (a s.h.a.r.e or These Genes tee if you have one), comfy shoes (trainers, no heels abeg), and minimal make-up!
Security is guaranteed (we thaank tha LORD!)
Please register as a volunteer to get more updates and so they have an idea how many people are coming!
www.gemstone2025.org
Why Mushin?
Why not?
Why painting?
Show up, paint a fence and you will answer the question yaself!
