So Lagos is going crazy!  Well Nigeria is going loco about it, and a lot of other people.

Pretty fun, traffic's insane, the one day I drive myself back from work aka yesterday, traffic lasted 2hrs 30 mins! UGH should have taken the ferry. Could be cuz of Arise, or could be the President, or his wife is in town, eitherways traffic's a b*&*) lol.

Back to Arise. I'm soooo excited that my girl Ejeme/ Jini will be showing her Jini collection today at 6pm, I haven't had a chance to view them yet, but I'm sure they'll be fab!

Back to Arise.

THE BIG DEAL: 77 designers from various countries around the world, with a good percentage of Nigerian designers + truckloads of models, bout 81 + 5 musical acts + 6 days = Amazing

LOCATION: Federal Palace!!! (which is such a pretty hotel & casino: stunning, nice food too, I'm such a fatty, and you can pay in naira, dollars or pounds)

AM I GOING?: I'm not sure, or what day I'll go, but if I do, don't worry, I'll be with my camera :) but pls.... don't get your hopes up :) let's focus on seeing regular posts though it'll be fun if i do go.
