It’s gonna be a blast on the runway with my “survivor” collection. Don’t miss this!
I was disappointed, was there yesterday. Got to the venue after seven and the organizer were still setting up, finally left the venue at 9pm and the show was yet to start. Nigerian with crappy customer service and lack of organisation
