I am sooooo sorry for my absence. I hope y’all had not completely given up hope and abandoned my blog lol. I really appreciate your patience!
Being the ‘blonde’ that I am, I forgot my laptop charger and phone charger so it was almost impossible to blog or do anything else for that matter.
Anyways, I just got back last night and I’m back to blogging!
Wow! My trip was amazing! I had a really fab time…..I was really busy and running around the place but it worked out in the end. It was just the perfect blend of fun, work and relaxation…
Kisses to my new ‘international’ friend hahah…he knows who he is.
Anyways, maybe I’ll give more details from my trip later but lets get back in the swing of things first!

Tina Atiemo is a Ghanian designer based in the UK. I first heard about her in December when she was featured in the UN CatWalk the World – Fashion For Food show in Accra, Ghana.
Ever since then, I have been a huge fan of her work. Tina is not just a clothing designer but also a card maker. She makes unique handmade cards with an African twist. Check out some of Tina’s work below. I love how she used a full-figured model (Tieko) in her ads. Luv her and Luv the clothes!

ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteSo Lurve lurve your blog. Very informative.
So this Ibitoru Green - How old did she say she was again? and her most important asset?
There is always a clown
i thot dose 2 contesttants under ur awful listing were ok. dey wernt dat bad 'specially d 1 dat sang seal's song...nehoo, guess its ur opinion. as 4 d chinwe gurl nd d fela guy (lmao) i was literally rollin on d floor. den again, d chick from kush..is it me or did she gain a WHOLE LOTTA WEIGHT???
ReplyDeletend dats contestant with 1 t...typo. sorry
ReplyDeleteprevious anonymous posta
Pick up ya phone darn it...
ReplyDeleteYour mailbox is full. Rubbish (smile).
BGT
Ibitoru Greene is an albino and if she's stating that as her most important asset then let her be... Whats she supposed to do? Kill herself because she's an albino? A lot of people wouldnt expect her to be confident an all but i think thats a plus on her part... To those who referred to her as a clown, what would you say about Chinwe and the Fela guy????
ReplyDeleteHi Bella babe!
ReplyDeleteI'm just curious as to when you landed and able to load up so quickly?! ...You're a Wonder Woman :-)
Thanks again dear.
Tina xxx
Lara from Kush has put on some weight. Married life is good oh, i didn't even know she was married. Her designs are fab. Good job Bella, keep 'em coming.
ReplyDeleteis lara really 23?
ReplyDeletelara CAN'T be 23.
ReplyDeleteHmm I wondered about that myself cos I know her agemate who's almost 30 so ermmm......plus I really do wonder why she auditioned for this show in the first place...
ReplyDeleteLoving Tina's creations!!!
Bella welcome back....Call me.
Oh me goosh! The idol auditions are soooo funny! I think I want Jerrilyn to win; her story is amazing (ok I'm a softie) plus she's got a nice soothing voice.
ReplyDeleteCorrect!!!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering when I was going to get my fix, was going into the withdrawal phase, good to have you back.
I really only liked the first outfit and the one she had on but the cards are nice.
As for Idols, are they trying to tell me that they dropped Synteche? Not good!! Not good at all! Meanwhile, Ibitoru is a trip for real! I was ROTFLMAO but she has a good voice. Timi was very nice; loved the Liberian girl, Jerrilyn, great spirit after everything she's been through.
As for Chinwe, she needs a good flogging!! Ah ah!!
Keep it coming o jare!! Don't leave me feenin' ever again :)
Waiiiiitttt!!!!
ReplyDeleteI had not seen Udosen, OMG!!! My sides are splitting, cannot control the laughter, chai! And Dede was not finding the thing funny at all. I no be gentuluman at all oh!
At least his tidy whities were clean. OMG!

ReplyDeleteif i don't take care.. you'll make an 'african print' wearer out of me bella.. those designs were gorgeous and quite mordern i didnt like the one with the belly button cutout but everything else was gorgoeus.. man the dress with the chain back is just beautiful...
ReplyDeleteMan... that girl with the blue dres.. wtf.. is she alright? I think she's confused!welcome back bella... the simon cowell guy is getting less annoyin i find.. and abrewa nana is cute but she's beginning to get on my nerves with her comments... she doesn't base her acceptance on any 'sane knowledge'... the american dude still rocks... man there was this girl with a weird name sythe or something... she sang her socks off!!! rock on idol west africa.. the liberian girl with the sad story made me cry.. God bless her.. I hope she wins!! lol. the fela guy was just asking for it.. lol.. i no be genturuman at all... hehe
Oh yeah totally loving those outfits….more FAB stuff coming out of Ankara and African print….oh how I love my continent.
ReplyDeleteOh Idols is just too mad…got back from Naija a while ago…and it’s amazing how full grown individuals sit clued to it 24/7…really can u blame them though with the kind of things people come out with.
A bit lost myself..saw Synteche when I was in Naija…and all of a sudden she’s not in the final 24…her always seem to get the better of her sha…but hey good luck to her in whatever she wants 2 do…FAB singer.
My vote is for Sokari Briggs…u go girlie!!!..i’ve got ur back..i even left Celtel voting credit onn my fone @ home for u…a bit vexed sha…that u didn’t yarn that u were in the final 24 when I saw u…but it’s all good I understand **wink wink** confidentiality and all that business.
Lara from Kush 23 ke???No way..i swear that babe was already in UNILAG when I was in SS1…and I’m now 23…no way.
Take care all

ReplyDeletewelcome back ....
ReplyDeletecan see u had fun in london...
I am the blogger who used the word clown in reference to Ms Green. I did not know she was an Albino.
ReplyDeleteApologies for the insensitivity. I hang my head in shame.
Anyway Bella - any link to where we can get the cards online?
What did they do to Syntyche...How stupid???? The Liberian girl...double wow! I found myseld closing my eyes to feel that song.
ReplyDeleteBella, you fit infesticate wetin happen to Syntyche, how could they?
Those tina outfits are FABULOSO! lololol
ReplyDeleteBig LOL @ IDOL
Good weekend xxxxx
that model is considered full-figured (gasp)WORRAHELL! I'm peeved now.
ReplyDeleteas far as WEst Africa idol, the judges are trying too hard to duplicate the performances that Simon and his co-assholes give, it takes away from the show.
I haven't seen Solari in a while. Good to see she's on Idols. A former QC babe. Goodluck Sokari B.
ReplyDeleteibitoru, is that a joke??? I saw her profile, "what makes u unique?", her reply was "my complexion"...I say damn right!!
ReplyDeleteeeeeeeeeeek
What on earth is Lara from Kush doing in the Idols? She can be a star without Idols anyday... except maybe for the recording deal. Wish her luck.
ReplyDeleteNice one Bella.
...and yes! i love the feature. Thanks Bella :-)
ReplyDeleteTina Atiemo

Hi! Stumbled across this site & must say, i'm impressed! Keep up the good work & God bless you real good!
ReplyDeleteI saw Ibitouru what so ever she call herself. I read her profile saying that her unique esset on her is her complextion.... dame right about that, 1 inch away my sister your vines will be seen. Come on are you serious? worst then a cow skin........just my opinion.
ReplyDeletewuz up Bella, girl you are doing a fantistic job keep it up.WA idol just crack me up, especilly from the begaining.....the liberian girl she is just amazing I think her name is Jerrilyn, beautiful girl. i also like timi great voice. hala back baby girl.
