Marc Jacobs Broke My Heart

Yes, the dreads are upsetting, but it did not end there.

When I first saw the pictures of the S/S 2017 runway show, I scoffed and was prepared to part with some respect for the designer. In my opinion, Marc Jacobs is a great designer. Jacobs seems to always manage to be playful and startling but not at the expense of elegance, so I was disappointed to see this. The use of mainly white models in dread locs to me read like a cheap grab at publicity, which happens all the time in fashion.

*exasperated sigh*

Queen Lupita.

Shameless stanning.

Lupita Nyong’o has been doing promotion for Queen of Katwe (not a slave movie) and just announced her October Vogue cover!

I have a secret that I can finally share… Guess who came to see me back home in Kenya?!

(Why on earth did I say no?)

Told her to stay put

Instead I’ll go

Put my cape on

&

Decided to save a ho

(After all she was mine)

I felt the need to be your hero

Despite every time

You treated me like a zero

Maybe underneath all anger I still cared

Maybe this was the quickest way to get you out of my hair

Maybe…

……

Truth is

I haven’t felt like a man in a while

&

I wanted to set an example

For my unborn child

(I needed some way to clear my conscious)

The constant regret was making me nauseous

You gave me a hug

That should’ve been a sign

Why I shouldn’t…

A Broken Buying Culture.

Colonial hangover + Unethical Pricing = Mediocrity

In 1964 Kenya began to enjoy freedom. However, today we still live in a haze of mental slavery. You see it with a server at the ‘upscale’ cafe who serves the foreign-looking table with a speed and enthusiasm distinctly missing from the table with faces too close to their own. Or at ‘it’ pseudo-intellectual gatherings where the foreign needle eye opinion is hailed as absolute by locals who should know better. The driving force behind Kenyan culture remains largely external and rarely self-determined.
