Since the referendum in Southern Sudan, I’ve been overwhelmed by the developments in North Africa/Middle East, China and even Puerto Rica (increased tuition fees provoked mass student demonstrations). And now it seems things are moving a lot closer to my part of Africa, Ghana. The people of Cameroon have started to voice their dissatisfaction and intend, -to end the 29-year rule of president Paul Biya and his wife Chantal Biya (a must watch persona at fashion et al), -anyway, Fashion et al prays democracy, freedom and prosperity for the good people of Cameroon. But in the mean time, I thought I’ll do a, Fashion et al watches, -a first for this blog, because who doesn’t like watching Chantal Biya? Plus, as I’ve stated in the past, most of the women in my family look like or eventually end up looking like Madame Chantal Biya, such is our ambition, thus I’m naturally morphing in this direction (give me strength ooOO). Even as I type away, a resent development, I seem to be gravitating towards red lipsticks -a big no no with my black blue skin, plus, I’m automatically mistaken for my mother, -and I’m beginning to like red hair -yikes, goodness only knows where it will all end!
