Its from Primark and so what? All you people and stereotypes, because she’s a singer she can’t carry a primark bag?

People like you are the reasons why runz are on the rise amongst female artistes. You want her to live above her means?
Mousepad
November 20, 2012 at 4:13 pm
@ Ada: Did anybody say there’s something wrong with her carrying a Primark purse? I own a black version and aint nothing wrong with shopping from Primark! It could’ve been from Zara, Next, Newlook…where ever! and someone will still say hey! I know where u got that from!
Iris
November 20, 2012 at 6:07 pm
If it had been a more expensive purse now people would still make noise about being materialistic. You mah that you can identify the purse, what were you doing in Primark? Or you were too cool to enter and simply saw somebody who knew somebody that had the purse?
In other news, Mo’Cheddah ALWAYS ALWAYS makes me smile and Jocelyn Dumas…I really wish I could hate this beech but I can’t *sigh*. Tiwa’s dress needs to be prayed over.

Why shouldn’t they? I’m pretty sure you don’t look half as pretty as them. I’mma have to type in CAPS for you to get it into your thick skull: BEAUTIFUL WOMEN are allowed TO WEAR WHATEVER they so please to… Guess what, they pulled it OFF! Judgmental people. FYI, Naija red carpet ain’t better, with that hot mess you people wear called Brazilian hair.

November 20, 2012 at 12:41 pm
what is all this mess?… almost everyone looks either tacky or trashy or both. Like not even one person looks nice. The ones that might look ok, if you look well you’ll find a fault…
The guy in the suit/umbrella/cap/tie combo is definitely from Ghana -_-

I’m in for weird and unconventional looks and that was why i used to really like Denrele’s sense of quirky style. But now, it just seems so wrong. Did I grow up or he just got even more weird?!

1.) I have seen Lelo Boyana look way better on many occassions.
2.) Eda Rose should have come in her birth suit. Their is very little difference.
3.) Fashion in SA is way off the mark and way behind Naija. These pics make for very poor viewing.
4.) Lalla Hirayama looks gorgeous.
5.) Bouga Louv looks edible (according to my female companion).
6.) I was impressed with Brymo’s experiment.
7.) Ice Prince seems to forget he is no longer a teeneager. Hip Hop artsite or not.

Cannot capture my thoughts in words.
Some made out alright about 3 or 4 ladies, the rest should get a good hairdresser first perchance we might see what they have on as clothes.
Definitely an eclectic bunch

Of all the other ChannelO VJs, I think Derele is the most prominent and trust me, he pulled off those heels (I think they are Jeffrey Campbell) and when he stepped up onstage, he stole the spotlight and made Sarkodie look invinsible!
The girl from Tanzania, Jokate I think is just a Nigerian artiste groupie. Well sweetie, it’s not a quick shot at fame. I can’t even recall the others. As for Lala Hirayama and Dineo, they were awesome. Watched them live on the Vuzu channel. What was Eku doing there? And where is the Channel o boss who sucks up to all the Nigerian artistes? We hear Lynxx is her new catch and he might be hosting the awards next year. Biola Alabi, Abeg caution that Leslie whatever she is called. She only chooses to play videos she has a special likening for.
DJ Zinhle looks FAB! Vimbai’s looks like the downtrodden witch from Notre Dame. MoCheddah again? #spits. Overall, you could tell that CuannelO is simply patronizing artistes they have a likening for, not real talent as always. Please switch us to VH1 or even Trace Abeg!
