Throwback Thurday - Halima Abubakar and Stella Dimokokorkus Kiss And Make Up

Posted in: , ,


For #tbt today, there's these photos of actress Halima Abubakar and blogger Stella Dimokokorkus hanging out together. So it seems the two old friends had some recent falling out over a bikini picture, but that has been sorted out now.

Halima shared the pictures as a reminder of how far they've both come, and Stella buried the hatchet. All is well that ends well. With blogging anyway, it's rarely anything personal :)

Can you guess the year the pictures were taken? From the shaved eyebrows and pale lipstick with black lip liner, I say late 90s...
