Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening

We're going To Mars

This is Hilarious, If you havent heard this story you have to read it..

On Oct. 30, 1964, TIME magazine reported on the celebration of the independence of Zambia (formerly Northern Rhodesia), with its new president, Kenneth Kaunda.
But as the jubilant crowds celebrated, one man, Nkoloso complained that the festivities were interfering with his "space program." Edward Makuka Nkolosoinformed the TIME reporter that his Zambian "astronauts" would beat both the US and the Soviet Union in the space race -- by going to the moon, and then to Mars.
In a newspaper editorial, Nkoloso claimed to have studied Mars for some time from telescopes at his "secret headquarters" outside Lusaka, and announced that the planet was populated by primitive natives. (He graciously added that his missionaries would not force the native Martians to convert to Christianity.) In fact, he said, he could have achieved the conquest of Mars a mere few days after Zambia's independence had UNESCO come through with the funding. Oh, he also called for the detention of Russian and American spies trying to steal his "space secrets" -- and his cats. [Read More]

Anyhow..long story short...no one made it to Mars, the   ummmhh $700 million financial aid from the United Nations.. er, fell short, and one of the astronauts, a 17-year-old girl, got knocked up and had to return to her village....but well..this inspired something else..


                                     Afronauts!   
( Dont say this word out loud, Im sitting in the library and i just found out the wrong way how weird it sounds..Afro-nuts...no no no )


 By Photographer Cristina De Miguel
 "Afronauts is based on the documentation of an impossible dream that only lives in the pictures. I start from a real fact that took place 50 years ago and rebuild the documents, adapting them to my personal imagery."

Philosopher Kwame Athony Appiah talks about the difficulty of growing up gay in Ghana and why he is optimistic about the future.

The Scramble...

Is back. Run. Hide.
Personally, I dont think we can actually curse 'Foreign Direct Investments in Land', as the new scramble of Africa...much rather the unchanged national, economical policies that dont guard Mama Africa from exploitation...

Update..

Are investors Colonizing Africa?

My opinion is still the same, this is 'Africas' fault...because, Africa never learns...

Sole Work..

Battle of the Soles... Louboutin Red Or YSL blue?

And ...YSL's red sole...is the red sole Louboutin's to own?

Its a crazy world out there now... Kim Kardashians Suing people who look like her, Christian Louboutin is suing YSL for using the red sole... I know what you're thinking, it is a signature 'red sole'...but apparently you cant sue another designer against 'a color' as the court said
Random Thought, unless of course, Mr. Louboutin patents the color red and charges the crayon companies & the food dye companies for using it

Versace created a similar Solework For Their spring summer 2008, but they werent exactly red...somewhat orange...


PS. The Red Sole has been around since the 1600s on France's King Louis XIV So Louboutin Didnt actually invent them...
A quick look back at the history of Men and Heels...

The king was known for wearing decorated heels as tall as five inches and he decreed that only nobility could wear heels that were colored red (les talons rogue) and that no one's heels could be higher than his own....Men in Heels People...its actually aristocratic! They were even called Louis Heels..Yes...back then men wore heels as a sign of wealth and power..
.
This is out of context but...has anyone seen the new Cocktail bar inspired Louboutin heels yet ?....Giirl

I think YSL should've just stuck with their blue and yellow tho..
