Throwback Photo
Daks circa 2007.
I still have this dress (one of my very few native dresses, I really need to get into trad) and I can still fit into it. As ma soeur Nwabugo would say, "God is working".
Throwback Video
Mya's My Love Is Like Woah is definitely one of my top 5 favourite videos of all time (my number one is Michael Jacksons 'Liberian Girl', I love videos with cameos and that video probably has the most cameos of any video I've ever seen).
Watching this video I used to fantasize that I'd be picked for MTVs 'Becoming' show (remember it?) to do this song and after the video shoot I could keep all the outfits she performed in.
I was also a huge Mya fan because she was a proud member of the itty bitty titty crew and she still looked hot AF, I was like "we have a mascot"! Lol.
'Case Of The Ex' was mental too btw. Wonder what happened to Mya because she was seriously awesome.
Current Video Loveage
Brandy Norwood took me back to the Full Moon era with this song and video, LOVE IT! Once upon a time Brandy was my fave and it hurt my heart to see her falter but now she's back and this video is giving me LIFE. Chris Brown isn't half bad too, don't know why people are so down on his rapping I think he sounds good but what do I know.
I think I might finally crack and get some braids put in when I go back home. I haven't had braids in about 10 years, the pain and the long hours put me off but I might just pop some Nurofen and endure it.
Love and light xx
