Date Night at the Butterscotch Evening with Bill Bellamy

Toke Makinwa and her fiance, Maje Ayida

The first in the series of Butterscotch Evenings took place on Friday, the 17th May, at Eko Convention Center, Lagos. Butterscotch Evenings combine great food, oldies but goodies music, fashion and comedy. Bill Bellamy and Johnny Gill were the headlining acts for this first, I hope the organizers focus more and more on Nigerian talent going forward.

Enjoy the red carpet moments below. Many people including celebrities made a night of it, and I love that there were loads of couples.

Menu Idea - Moi Moi Cooked With Sliced Sausages

This was one of the best moi moi I've made in a while. I think I'm really getting the hang of using beans flour to make moi-moi. Recipe coming soon.

Bon Apetit!

Pregnant Kim Kardashian in Little Black Dress

Many fashionistas and people generally seem not to like Kim Kardashian's pregnancy style and have been quite voluble in stating their concern, worries and sometimes plain beef. It's either her clothes are too tight, too loose and makes her look fat, or her heels are too high.

But maybe she has a better sense of it? Being petite and chunky with her bump, maybe maternity style clothes will swallow her whole. I like this LBD on her, and at least the shoes don't look like they're squeezing the life out of her feet.

Night Out - BillBoard Music Awards

Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa

The 2013 Billboard Music Awards held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 19, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Here are some pictures of those who had a night out at the event, including cute sisters Rosie and Sofia Grace who are seen sometimes on the Ellen Show. Enjoy.

BIC - Baby in Chief or Blue Ivy Carter?

I saw this picture and found it funny and cute at the same time. Who is the BIC? If it's Baby-in-chief, did Barack and Michelle Obama have another baby without letting anyone know. OK, it's Blue Ivy Carter. There's another picture below :)

You Are More Beautiful Than You Think - Dove

I first understood what it meant as a girl to have others judge your physical looks. It was in my junior secondary school, we were in a group and the other girls were talking about how pretty each of them looked, from the hair, eye brows, nose and mouth, and how they felt this would determine their chances with being popular with the boys.

Folasayo Dele-Ogunrinde and Her Battle Against Cancer

I got to know Folasayo Dele-Ogunrinde as a writer on the same website I met Atala and she wrote fiery articles about sexism, and gender, and relationships. You either loved her writing or you didn't. I loved the way she thought and how outspoken she was, and though she used an alias, I later got to find out her real name, and followed her career.

Folasayo was also a visual artist, performance poet, public speaker, filmmaker and actor, and one of the first Nigerians I know who used Kickstarter to raise funds for one of her projects. By then we had connected on Facebook and exchanged one or two messages. She went offline for a beat, and when she came back last year, it was with news that she had stomach cancer.

Is Infidelity Always The End Of A Marriage?

We've all heard the story, either a public figure or celebrity, or someone we know confesses to an extramarital affair, and tongues start wagging. Sometimes, the marriage in question withstands the infidelity; other times, the breach of trust is too deep, and the couple splits. The question of which marriage will, and which will not withstand infidelity continues to be a guessing game.
