Ideas dancing in my head

Hey guys!

Feels like it's been too long since I last blogged. So hello! How have you guys been?

While I was away, a few ideas danced around in my head, and I danced back with some of them, got to know them better and we've sorta become friends. One of them was fashion related. And if you know me you're probably going: "huh? Fope, you hopped on that train too?". I wouldn't consider myself a highly fashionable person, I try though. Once in awhile I have seasonal 'themes'. Like last summer, I was feeling very 90ish. You know, shoulder pads, retro glasses, poofy afros, bold colours, patterns and red lipsticks... you get the gist. Three summers ago (or however many summers ago 2012 is), I was a 'girly girl', all fancy summer dresses and all. If you're wondering what I do in the winter, I'm always on energy saving mode- that includes using the least possible amount of energy to get the anything done, which goes for dressing too.

So why am I writing about fashion? It's because I've been following it pretty closely these days and I'm liking what I see on Instagram. So now I'm following bloggers, designers, and keeping up with fashion week! I've found some really talented designers here in the western world, but I'm loving what I'm seeing in Nigeria and Ghana, and a few others from African countries. Once in a while, I really love their Instagram feed and I want to proceed to their website to order(or at least window shop some more), but the website is either really 'unkept', less appealing than their social media pages, non existent, or just meh. So I started wondering if there's the equivalent of ASOS for these smaller scale designers.

I looked a bit and found KISUA, MyAsho, and fashpa.












  They're slightly different from what I have in mind, but even that (the idea in my head) is not completely formed. It has to do with fashion, it might include retailing, that's all I know for now. If you've been wondering about anything like this and want to rub minds with someone, I'm very much interested in hearing from you! Please say hello in the comment session, or if you want to be super private, you could email me.

I promise I'm nice!


P.S: I'm going back to being Fopsy, at least on the blog. I feel like I'm lying about my identity being called Mo....lol. Still,  call me whatever you remember... Fope, Fopsy, Mo, Mofope. For best results use Fope :)


Until next time!

Hey Lil Troublemaker.

I have a midterm anyway, so there's no way around school today. No point whining. There's a 3-minute bus for the 7minute walk I have to make to my next class.  When the roads are icy and slippery (like today) and man's greatest fear is becoming 'Humpty-Dumty the second', that walk becomes more10-ish minutes. So, of course I'll take the bus! *Whew!*. I made the bus.  To calm my raging nerves - because I'm pretty tensed about my Stats midterm - I read the cover page of Metro newspaper. The story I first see is something about wheelchairs not getting priority over strollers. Lol? Who wouldn't know that? On second thought, it wouldn't be on the front page of the paper if something hadn't happened. Apparently, some bus driver had told someone with a toddler to get off t...

Why "Be Yourself" is Terrible Advice

I recently had a conversation with one of my friends, which led her to the conclusion that I wasn’t spiritual enough to date her brother. It was kind of a joke, but as we know, in every joke there’s at least an iota of truth.    So, it got me thinking. See, I self-identify as an open-minded person, at least in my circle of Nigerian, Christian friends, I’m a little bit of an anomaly. I have my own ideas about life, alcohol, sex, and other things I wonder about. No, it’s nothing that necessarily contradicts the Bible; it’s just a little too much for my people. Now, without even knowing the details of our conversation, you’re already thinking I’m not Christian enough to date you or your brother. Don’t worry I don’t want to date you either. On a serious note though, I was taken aback a little by my friend’s conclusion, mostly because I wondered if the things that made her come to that conclusion were the same ones being impediments to my ability to ...

Thoughts on Being Aliens on Earth and Entertainment-Related Filth

I now get why some Christians decide to do extreme things like refusing to own a T.V. I'm watching this episode of Moments with Mo , and the topic is No Romance without Finance. Urgh. So may things be hitting the wrong nerves. I'm giving this thing a try where I completely substitute my music for Christian music. It's doable, I know. But I love Sunny Ade and a little Olamide here and there. I mean, I already know better than to accept the lyrics of the songs as the truth, but on some days I'm also embarrassed of what I'm listening to. I DJed for about15 minutes at a hangout  with my friends the other day, and when the pretty gross lyrics of Olamide and Phyno's "Ladi" came on, I was quite ashamed. The friends weren't even actively listening to the words of the song, but my own spirit condemned me.
