TWITTER FEUD: VENITA AKPOFURE TELLS TOKE MAKINWA TO ZIP IT!

Two of our favorite Naija personalities in the show biz (Video Vixen: Venita Akpofure and On Air Radio Personality: Toke Makinwa) are clawing at each other and spitting venom on twitter.

We call it "beef", and this particular beef seems to be in the oven.

I enjoy Toke Makinwa's Vlog, she's funny, expressive and also met out friendship, relationship tips and advices on her blog page. Venita Akpofure is also a fun and interesting personality... did I also mention how beautiful and successful these ladies are in their own unique way?

Moving on... Toke Makinwa expressed her excitement of a new vlog post on her blog page on her twitter timeline but apparently Venita seemed to have had enough of Toke's vlogs and couldn't help diss her on twitter, see below..

FASHION FACE OFF! : WHO WORE IT BETTER?

 It's time for some fashion face off!... This is the Arena!.. well, "after-arena". This is what happens when two celebs pull off the same outfit. Great/stylish minds think alike yeah?.. so who did better in the thinking and putting together?
I decided to pick 3 different outfits for today's fashion face-off.

LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS BELOW..


MILEY CYRUS VS. KAT GRAHAM

Both of them are sporting this black vintage frocks from Versace, and both brought in a bit of their individual style to it. Kat is wearing hers with a buckle ankle boots and her dress has a longer hem-line, almost knee length. and then a medallion earring which matches the embellishment on her LBD. She finishes off with a red lipstick.

Miley did a shorter version of this dress, she paired hers with a black pump, lovely earrings, matching choker and a bright red nail polish.


BELLA THORNES VS. LILY COLLINS

These two actresses are rocking the tropical prints. This design belongs to no other person but Fausto Puglisi (a young designer), his design has been worn by the likes of Nicki Minaj and Emma Watson and it's making another appearance on the red carpet by these two actresses above.

Bella Thorne is wearing a long sleeve structured top with an A-line skirt, ear cuffs, smoky eyes with loose textured waves to complete the look.

Lily Collins on the other hand is wearing a statement-making waterfall skirt with a black short sleeve top (with a little shoulder puff), and a bold swept up hairdo. Both of them did an amazing job with this prints, but who pulled hers off better? Leave comments below!


KATY PERRY VS. COCO ROCHA

High neckline, vivid leopard spots, thigh-high slit and a 3D butterfly embellishment, this two divas strutted the red carpet in this daring dress by 'Emmanuel Ungaro'.

Katy Perry wore hers with a 'Luxe Celine sandals' and a sky-high ponytail... someone did 'roar' in this outfit. Coco Rocha went for a punk, fierce look, with her angular bangs and thick eyelashes. Her dress is a longer version and she paired it with a black ankle boot.

Who wore this outfit better? Let us know by leaving your comments below.

XOXO!

TWERKING CRAZE: NICKI MINAJ VS. BASEBALL PLAYER, JOHN MANGUM! WHO TWERKED IT BETTER?

Everybody's twerking!.. Grand Ma is twerking, the kids are twerking, even the guys wanna twerk!! (Thank you Miss Miley Cyrus!..arrgh!)

In case you're a bit lost and you don't know what twerking means, let me clarify. Twerking is a type of dance in which the dancer shakes her hip in an up-and-down bouncing motion,causing the dancers buttocks to shake, wobble and jiggle (usually in a sexually provocative manner and in a low squatting stance).

The term "twerk it" was created from combining the words "to" and "work it". This dance move is not so new but well, since the public display of Miley Cyrus both on YouTube and during the last Grammy awards (twerking on Robin Thicke, who had no problem with it and enjoyed it), the dance move has been the talk on everyone's lips.

The twerking craze is still waxing strong and people just don't wanna let go! (lol). Nicki Minaj posted a video of her and her girls twerking off to Vybz Kartel on Instagram earlier this week (video below), but it seems her twerk game has been out-shined by John Mangum, a college baseball player from North Carolina.

Watching the video of this guy twerking, I couldn't help but laugh my head out. Funny enough he sure twerks better than most girls.... hahaa, me for one!

This guy does the dougie and pop, drop and locks it in the male locker room to the amazement and shock of his team mates.

FRESH OFF: DID THEY PULL IT OFF OR DO THEY NEED TO "PULL IT OFF?"

Getting to pull off a look beautifully especially when it is coming "off the runway" is a tricky one and can be quite intimidating because it could go wrong or right or it can look even much better off the runway. 

Sometimes the look can be way too extreme for everyday life or it's meant for certain personalities, because trust me... not every one can pull off some type of ensemble and look smashing in it... well, except for Rihanna i'd say, that girl can put on a trash bag and still look gorg!

Anyways, for today's post, i'm both Judge and Jury.. (haha)

Below are pictures of some of Hollywood's celebs "off the runway" look!

Lala Anthony did rock this Maje Degriffe outfit well. She's wearing the trendy oversize plaid shirt ( i love the leather detailed breast pocket) with a thigh high boot. I love this look on her.. nice clutch too!

Above is Claire Julien, one of Hollywood's rising star. She's wearing an A-line skirt with a crop top in an all-white color palette (from Balmain). This is one great way to start her career with a bang.

Nicole Richie rocking the Balmain designer outfit in lovely cool pastels, which are one of this season's hottest trend. She did pull it off well, but i'd prefer it with a different hair do.. or what do you think?

Looking at this outfit, I think "Mum" (not that it's a totally bad thing buh hey!)... This jumpsuit is quite lovely but I simply don't dig it on Mary J. Blige.

So we bring the hammer down on this one and we say "pull it off!"

Rita Ora does know fashion and rock her pieces well (at least most).. This 'Moschino' plaid jacket and pants looks even better off the runway, i'd say she did pull it off nicely... Everything stays on, maam!

Our dear 'Scandal' star, Kerry Washington and one of hollywood's fashionistas, she never dulls an outfit and she pulled off  this 'Victoria Beckham' outfit well. She looks dolly, cute and much girly in this.

I love prints, especially if it's a unique one, and this particular one from Dolce and Gabbana is b-e-a-u-tiful!.. Looks fab on Vanessa Hudgens. I prefer the way she paired hers with the pointed gold shoe.

JIM IYKE SET ON GETTING MARRIED TO "NADIA BUHARI" (Is it his 'EGO' talking, or Is he for REAL?)

Most of us got wound of the gist about Jim Iyke been allegedly possessed by demons and healed by Prophet T.B Joshua of the Synagogue Church of Nations. We also know about his relationship with Nollywood actress, Nadia Buhari and his professed love for her.

Now he is determined to get married to her and prove everyone wrong on their notion or belief that he is a player, serial heart breaker who can never settle with one woman, and according to him, his family simply loves and adore her... awww!

Now i'm been curious (and been very much of a skeptic) and I ask; Is he just making this decision or proclamation because that thing called 'ego' is in need of a boost?  Or there's a dire need for him to make people see him differently as a changed person? Or is his feelings and intentions true and real?

Well if it is, we sure wish him a happy married life soon... (I can already imagine what their kids would look like :) ) According to him, he says he is at that point in life where he needs to settle down. Everyone wants love, everyone needs the perfect person to compliment him/her.. so there's nothing wrong with that. 

But I guess he should know this is not another heart to be toiled with!

Apart from shopping, they'd be a runway show, where i'd be looking forward to be with and see one of my favorite fashion designer (among others), 'VeraNORA Couture'. She'd be unveiling her brand new collection "Wonderstruck!!" , her last collection "The scarlet collection" was awesome, I can only wonder how much more "ooh's" and "aah's" we'd be seeing on this one. They'd also be music, comedy from PH's finest comedian, "Dan D Humorous", trust him to crack your ribs real hard, they'd also be dance, raffles, face of LVM contest and a guest appearance by Denrele, Bassey, Bimp and Beverly of "Big Brother Africa" (BBA).

TRENDS WE LOVE: POLKA DOT TREND

It started when Miss America was first photographed wearing a polka dot swim suit, and then later it was with the Mickey Mouse cartoon. I loved that cartoon when I was younger and can't forget the polka dotted ribbon or wears on 'Minnie Mouse'.... and ooh, did I mention Cruella Deville and the "101 Dalmatians?"...*those days*..

It's still here and can't just go away and we love it, you love it, the ladies love it, even the guys... don't think the Polka Dot trend is only for the ladies!  If you are a guy and you want a touch of swag or class, you can incorporate a bit of Polka Dots in your accessories,  It could be in your tie or shirt. For the ladies, it could be in your dress, nail polish design, shoes or accessories. This trend is pure vintage, retro, flirty, fresh, etc. It comes in different colors and sizes. Everybody looks good on polka dots. It's a wardrobe staple that everyone should have.

Are you spotting the spots? Below are pictures of people spotting this trend on and off the catwalks.

NKIRU ANUMUNDU: HER STYLE SENSE... DO WE SAY "BRAVO OR "HELL NO!"?

There's this saying that goes: "Dare to be different".... but how much of a dare is considered as "too much", "over the top" and "outrageous"? There's also another that goes: "Have fun with fashion"..... but also i'm forced to ask "how much fun can one have with fashion without looking like a clown in the end?"

No one is perfect, there are trials and errors.... we all want to get it right. Being a fashionista or a trend setter ain't an hours work, nor a day's work... no be beans!

Nkiru Anumundu is noted to be one of Nigeria's fashionistas and socialites. Apart from been the executive director of global motors, she is also noted for her wonderful and sometimes eccentric neck pieces and hats. She's known to grace social events and is quite a woman to look out for, either to "wow" you or to make you go "Urrgh" or simply confused. To some of her ensembles I say "kudos" while to some.... |(coughs)

Now the pictures below are some of her style including what she wore to Lagos Fashion and Design Week last Wednesday, and I was forced to ask myself: "how did she get into her car with that pineapple on her head?" ( if she was driven, it'd be hard sticking to driving regulations if she was at the back seat, lol) and secondly, "what's up with the white colored, mismatched foundation on her face?".... It's almost like her face had a mind of its own and came separately to the party while the rest of her body walked in much later!.... or are we missing the big picture?

Are we looking at Naija's own Lady Gaga?...... and ooh! did you also notice the pineapple clutch bag?

Oh well, i'm a fan of this last one.. :)

KHLOE KARDASHIAN SAYS: "COME FOR ME ALL YOU WANT, BUT LEAVE THEM ALONE!"

The Kardashians are obviously fedup with all the rumours about their family. Well, I would if I were in their shoes. She posted this munch off her twitter timeline on to her instagram page. And here, she seems to be protecting her younger ones from verbal banters and rumours... How sweet! 

Apparently a picture of her little sisters at a concert she put up was taken to be of the little kardashians at a club, and you know how quick people are to lash out insults and abuses!... 

Words sure kills and are very hurtful, worse than a blow!
