SPARE US THE LUPITA SYNDROME

I know she is an icon, Star, Pillar of beauty for most people. In fact, looking at her you get to recognize  the pride of an African Woman, long lost due to modernization. That being written, let us now narrow down to s few facts here.

 First, not every girl can look beautiful in short, trimmed hair like Lupita. Walk around and you will notice that in the verge of copying Lupita’s hair style, some girls end up looking like boys (tom boys), kind of girl you walk with and you feel gay because they look like you, in fact handsome than you-not a good feeling.

 Short hair does not blend well with many and do not force it when it doesn’t work. If you saw the Cameroonian first lady you will definitely concur with my point that even with long hair one can still stand out.

Second, not every girl appeals with little flesh like Lupita.  This is not African, we are known to value flesh; nice hips, breast, boobs and not  forgetting legs. Come to my region around the lake side and we will sing for you  “Adhiambo Sianda”  and you will realize the depth of respect we give to well built women.

Do not torture yourself  going hungry to loose weight to gain ‘admirable’ body because in the end you also loose men like me, those who  value well built ladies.

Finally, the skin color. On this I have no dispute, in fact it bores to see a girl change her skin color. Thumbs up to those who value  and cherish their natural skin color.

Let me end it by urging my beautiful African sisters to be themselves. Lupita made because those features fitted her. This does not mean every Atieno, Njeri and roaming Lucy can make it if they copy Lupita.
