FOREIGN GELE

Never mind the message, the reason for this post is to show you very many styles for your "Gele" game in a creative way. This post is inspired by the game of African in diaspora and am so sure you will love it when you read on.

Have you ever noticed how Patriotic and cultural our brothers and sisters in diaspora are when it comes to tradition? Some barely even go to Church, and while we are busy practising the foreign culture, they are giving us serious reasons why we should stick to our root. Wearing our best of attire in a presumed Naija way. MY STORY So it was a friends traditional wedding and the makeup for bride and all has to be lit. Haba! My paddy has told me about this chick that does awesome makeover games and wonderful gele stunts over there. "She may have learnt from Segun's gele," I presumed and immediately started a budget of inviting her over when its my turn. She had come almost as if avoiding the stains of the common girls, her steps felt her Michael Jackson's moon walk for Thriller and her PA seems to be the worst of Super Stars. Haba! What a star! From her mere Aura, I could see a queen in my friends smile tomorrow. This girl game tight o. We slept on the trad eve dreaming of my friends look. And I was wondering if it will look like this

Or

TRAD DAY PROPER
 After sweeping, supervising the decorations and tasting the meals. Our bride was locked up in a room with a makeover artist and we were not allowed to see her. At the sound of your foot step, our MUA P.A will yell, "This road ain't the only fucking route you do take bitch! Am not gonna repeat myself, nat one second." English dey intimidate person o. So we kept waiting. Taking selfies in our little makeup and makeover.

Suddenly, I heard a scream from the background, "Hell ya! My baby is the real deal. You look one million dollar like a Queen bae, I love this." Her P.A exclaimed. Then we heard footsteps and camera shots behind us. The P.A is walking behind the bride with esteem and we suddenly turned to see our Agbani. This is what she looked like this:

Her first look

Her second look

Her third look

The Foreign troupes.

her mum and her friends

We weren't smiling but our bride was, and suddenly, the MUA walked up to me and said, "I know people do be wondering why I let her blemishes show. Honestly I can cover that up but she wants the natural glow and it came out perfect. I wonder how I do these things." She grins and walks away.

It feels to me like a gele contest between the have been and have not been to parade. I wonder which one you choose.

I just wonder how these foreign girls think they can do it better than us. Am lost for words. Honestly some Africans trying to be so terrific with tradition feels like, watching all these fake Oyibo speak English in Nigerian movies. Ever since, I choose a Nigerian artist. Tat foreign gele swag ain't just my thing.

Happy Tailor-Made Tuesday Folks.
