Me. And then Some.

So I was tagged by Myne to do '10 Things I love'

Ok Im starting with #2: Well thats easy. Shoes!  I know its ironic that Im giving some of them away, but like I said Im bribing using the principle that 'It is more blessed to give than receive'. Even though every time I pick one to give away its like breaking up with a lover. yea i just used that analogy.

Which brings me to #1: God! Of course! Dear God, I know I whine and complain all the time, but its true! Honest! Cross my heart and err... ok no crossing of hearts. But we cool God?

#3: Well I love reading. I can devour several books in a day, if I was left to it. Sadly I haven't read in a while, except these damn math textbooks. Which dont really count do they? Yah I didn't think so.

#4: I love writing too. It...frees me. I cant quite explain it more. Yea, I find freedom in my writing. Gosh my computer is like my treasure chest. I will DIE if anyone got their hands on it. The things you w-ok I will stop there now.

#5: Chocolate. Specifically Dove smooth milk chocolate. There is something very sexy about that chocolate, I dont know what. I can eat it all day.

#6: I love cat-walking. Err... yes you heard me right. The world is my runway. Literally. Ok well the truth is, I err.. tried out to be a model but..err...well I am too short. 2 inches so yes this is my consolation gift to myself. Walk the whole damn world like its a freaking runway. Yeolz ke.

#7........  Can I put shoes again? No? okay .......Oh! I have one, I like speed. I cant explain it but the adrenalin rush, the purr of the engine when you slowly release the clutch...err ok you get it.

#8 I love to make myself laugh. Its almost comical really. The littlest things tickle me. LOL! I just laughed out loud typing that. I dont know why. Hehehehehehe (The funny thing is Im actually giggling as Im typing this)

#9 I love my friends. I dont tell them enough cause I hate being all mushy mushy and..ugh yea. but I do. I have some of the most patient friends ever.
The ones that patiently allow me to rant on bbm and in emails, the ones that don't take it personal when I err..screen their calls (Zuby baby I love you you know that?)
The ones that just allow me to be me. Silly, comical, always joking around me, and dont judge me for it or say things like 'Act your age'. Yea those friends. Gosh I love you guys.
Ok! Mushiness over.

#10 I have to say, I looooooove Blogsville! Like yo! You guys rock! from Brokeass to Fabulo-la, I am having a swell time! I always have a swell time, drama or no drama. My sanity is in check partly cause of you. I hope you guys love me too sha? lool

I tag Neefemi, Juiceebaby, RepressedOne, Taynement, Bubbles and Undercover07.

The last poem was written about something that happened a looooooong time ago. Any one ever tell you, 'Im sorry, it was not my intention'? Bullshit excuse if you ask me. Thats why I wrote it.
Besides, everybody knows, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Well if you didnt know, now you do ;)

In other news, meet Taiye. There is actually a Kehinde.

So. I was in NY for the weekend. Was a very eventful weekend. I got new shoes, new hair and correct insults. So my friend, Kikiana, and I came across one store like this in Harlem that was doing CORRECT clearance sale. Now when I say correct, I mean CORRECT.
Everything was on sale for $50. I'm talking LAMB, Giuseppe, CORRECT CORRECT shoes! No be Bakers shoes o! Shoes I have no business buying on a normal day. Thank God for sale. So we walked into the store, there were 4 other women there buying shoes. We tried shoes on. FOR $50!!!

I bought those ones in the picture, my friend bought a pair of LAMB shoes and Giuseppes for her sisters since she didn't find her size. Again, for $50!!! Who no go buy? Anyways, so we saunter out of the store with our 'steals'. We even went back the next day when her sisters came in, but the prices had gone back up.


"Nothing in this store was ever $50! I do not sell my shoes for $50! I know about all you ghetto bitches tryna scam me."

Say whaa??? Trust Kikiana. Ibo gel. She just siddon for chair.
She asked the sales girl to commot from back make she come talk wetin happen now abi?
The woman went on..

"Bitch leave her out of this. She has nothing to do with this!"
"...sth sth sth..get the fuck out of my store or I would throw you out myself BITCH.."
Ibogel: Just touch me, you will know what the inside of a jail cell looks like.
"Get the fuck out before I call the cops"
Ibogel: Abeg Fabulo-la, 911. This woman doesn't know anything.

At this point, agidi don pass agidi and it had become a shouting match between the I'm-not-ghetto-fabulous akata woman and the ever-so-ready Ibo gel.
Me? Me I no de fight o! I no like fight o! I just cross my hand for one corner just de look with my eyes bulging out. I look like person wey go de scam a whole boutique on top shoe? My counterparts are scamming banks, me I will be scamming boutique? Na wa o!

After shouting shouting she went to get $50 in cash and shoved it our faces.
*Blank stares* I now come ask am,
"Is there a way you can put this back on our cards without giving us cash?"
"Bitch I gave you the $50, what the fuck do you want? Take the money and get the fuck out of my store!" And she started again...
Na wa o! Shooo??

Anyways, the woman's friend that was there sha stepped in, apologised on behalf of her friend and bla bla bla. Apparently, her cash register does not do refunds.
Would it have killed her to say that?
Ha! Na she sabi. Those shoes look hot on me jere...
I got my hot shoes and my $50 and sashayed out of there.

Apparently the thing pain Kikiana more than it pained me. On monday morning, she emailed some woman at ybf telling her about it, cause apparently they did a scoop on her sometime in May. So if you see any videos on theybf.com with 2 weird looking girls fighting over shoes, fear not its just Fabulo-la attempting to conquer her fear of cameras. LOL

And that my friends, is the story of the bitch-shoes.
