The walk... To love ... I leave behind fear, judgement, scorn... I will not be shamed, lectured on what I "deserve" or what I have "coming to me"...

What a cute baby! This is Kim Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner way back when. Kris shared this picture on Instagram today for throwback Thursday. Since baby North West is said to resemble Kim Kardashian, I'm guessing she looks not too different from baby Kim.

Throw Back Thurday - Bringing the Sexy

Posted in: , , , , ,

This was about 5 years ago. I was already living in the UK and traveled to Nigeria for vacation. Like someone said in the last tbt post, my youngest sister who had just entered university then said, Myne, you're always very serious and formal. I know you're older than me, bla...bla...bla... but come let me show you how to let your hair down."

I already had the dress, which I often wore as a top to tights or jeans, the shoes, accessory and the hair. But she provided the makeup and put it all together. At the photographer's studio, she provided moral support as the guy reeled out model instructions - "head to the side, strut it, flaunt it, head up, hands bent, etc."

I love you sis, and I can honestly say, this was the picture that got Atala across seven oceans and seas to come get me. #trueword. Since then, I know it's quite important to sometimes not be so grown up and serious. You can also either be young and carefree, or you can bring the sexy!
