La Mode

Hello Everyone! It gives me pleasure to present to you this third edition themed ‘’Fashion Statement’’ and I hope you’d find it as enjoyable as it was putting it together with you in mind. Yes, I mean You! Compiling it was so much fun as I thought of the joy and the benefits you would derive turning every page, and I hope we continue bringing out more interesting editions. Of course without my remarkably amiable team members this edition will not be a reality. They love you just as much and their contribution is seen in every word.

Hello Everyone!
It gives me pleasure to present to you this third edition themed ‘’Fashion Statement’’ and I hope you’d
find it as enjoyable as it was putting it together with you in mind. Yes, I mean You! Compiling it was so
much fun as I thought of the joy and the benefits you would derive turning every page, and I hope we
continue bringing out more interesting editions. Of course without my remarkably amiable team
members this edition will not be a reality. They love you just as much and their contribution is seen in

I say GREED because most women (and people in<br />

general) these days have embraced this new found<br />

liberation and gender equality ‘hoohaa’ and are running<br />

wild with it. In their heads the saying ‘what men can do,<br />

women can do better’ means in EVERYTHING<br />

including sex. I disagree and beg to differ. A lot of you<br />

with ‘open minds’ will argue and say it’s a personal choice<br />

whom one chooses to sleep with and that is true…to an<br />

extent. I say this because if this was entirely true, we will<br />

not look down on or find humans sleeping with animals<br />

appalling and disagreeable.<br />

I say CONFUSED because a lot of the women who are<br />

choosing to either engage in homosexuality or bisexuality<br />

(in this part of the world) are mostly bitter and don’t<br />

know how to deal with their bad experiences with men or<br />

in most cases process the hurt and anger they’ve<br />

experienced.<br />

I don’t disagree that this topic goes in deeper and further<br />

but I am not a psychologist I am a writer and from recent<br />

trends in society and listening to people talk, a lot of<br />

these young women are generally just fed up of men<br />

taking the piss and toiling with their hearts and generally<br />

JUST curious and bored. A lot of these young women<br />

have been sexually abused from childhood or have just<br />

been sexually active from an early age so by the time<br />

they’re in their 20s, they have experienced being with a<br />

man and now are ready to try new things.<br />

However, the confusion comes in when they think that<br />

sleeping with another woman is the answer. I’m a woman<br />

and I cannot stand women! I have very few female<br />

friends because the ‘WAHALA DON PLENTY FOR<br />

ME’ (too much drama for me)!<br />

In my opinion, although many of us, if not all, have<br />

encountered or experienced homosexuality, the<br />

growing number of you young women choosing to<br />

hide behind it by ways of safe guarding your heart and<br />

feelings is rapidly growing and quite frankly it is sad<br />

and pathetic.<br />

LAMODE REALITY<br />

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had my heart broken and<br />

wondered why I even bother with men! And to tell you the truth, a<br />

lot of women and people think I’m Gay or Bi-sexual, I don’t<br />

mind, I just laugh and correct them.<br />

In today’s society, there are many young; self sufficient, financially<br />

independent and well to do women who basically DO NOT need<br />

the security that man have been known to provide for women<br />

anymore. For this reason, when we are hurt and disappointed, so<br />

many of us wonder why we even bother putting ourselves through<br />

the lies and the cheating!<br />

Whiles this is understandable, I don’t see how sleeping with<br />

another woman is the answer because they can hurt you too, they<br />

are human.<br />

I cannot judge anyone but I am entitled to my personal opinion.<br />

This issue is becoming a problem in our society and as Africans<br />

with upstanding morals, traditions and rich cultures, it is important<br />

that we discuss it and deal with it instead of shying away from it<br />

and leaving it to affect and infect our current and upcoming<br />

generation who are the future.<br />

And men…it would help if you treated us right so we will enjoy<br />

womanhood in all its glory.<br />
