Good Read: The Girl With The Louding Voice - Abi Dare

  In this remarkable story, Adunni, the main character, depicts ambition fuelled with a burning desire to succeed despite all odds. Tales of this type still abound in Lagos, and they are portrayed in the media daily. Adunni is hailed as the poor girl with a rich mind, "Sherlock Holmes," who never stops asking intelligent questions, a child-bride, and a strong-willed girl who grew up fast due to the circumstance her parents put her through. However, she had the guts to pursue the life she wanted. - An education by any means necessary.  Adunni finally got her groove back after reading such an easy book, I could relate to the characters there. the harsh and despicable reality of Lagos till date. I would recommend this book to my friends and would love to see it turned into a film.

Fashion Rerock: Karl Stefanovic "One year, Same Suit, Different Ties"


Yes you read the post heading right "One year Same Suit Different Ties".  That is exactly what Karl Stefanovic, a TV host on Australian did for a whole year. His he trying to prove a point? yes he is...
“I’ve worn the same suit on air for a year – except for a couple of times because of circumstance – to make a point”, Stefanovic told Fairfax Media. And the viewers’ reaction? “No one has noticed; no one gives a shit.”
But Stefanovic knows that things are different for his co-hosts: “I’m judged on my interviews, my appalling sense of humour – on how I do my job, basically. Whereas women are quite often judged on what they’re wearing or how their hair is”

This would have been a whole different ball game if a woman did the same. Good on you Karl.
