Red Fairness
So the phrase for today is, Poverty yellow/ Red fairness.
Fair people, has anybody told you before that your fairness is poverty yellow or say you dey red? Well if you haven't been told before thank God.
My P.I.C just nacked that term just now when she stroke one girl say she get poverty yellow, say she dey show herself anyhow with her red fairness.
According to my friend, the term Poverty Yellow/Red fairness is for people that are light in complexion but their skins aren't glowing. If the skin of a fair person sort of looks dark like it has a shadow over it, that person is RED. She say the skin don comot from fair in complexion to red in complexion. This babe wan kill me with laugh.
Financially I know it's not cheap for fair girls o, the capital they use to maintain their skin in order to avoid a situation of redness nor be small capital. I hope they yield a good return on their investment.
I know say now when I don talk money matter for cream, charcoal..sorry black girls be like, 'Black is beauty' #ebony#. Indeed black isn't just beauty, black is cheap. Hahahahahaha
DISCLAIMER: I didn't advise people to burn their skin(bleach) in order to avoid red fairness.
There are creams which help maintain your natural complexion without bleaching your skin.
Trust me, I'm sure of this because majority of my friends are light in complexion.
Back in our university days, I take pleasure watching them battle with how to eco their allowance to be able to afford their cream, or how to avoid sunburn. Me, wetin concern me, concern sun then.
Solider go, solider come, barrack still remain, as a 'chocolate in complexion' person I wasn't scared of the sun as much as they were ;)
In general sha, it's good to take proper care of your skin.
Stay Sharp,
Warri Girl.

Cinema Review / HBD My Diva
Happy birthday, to Darkdiva my Diva. She gave me coconut candy when I was 5years old and since then I have been on her matter. Onome, the Jazz for that candy strong o! cos I'm stuck in love with you.
I wish you long life and prosperity, dearie.
Now, to my cinema review;
I told you guys, I would be going to the cinema one of the weekends, well I went with my girls yesterday.
When I stepped in, I was impressed with the size. It's really big, bigger than the one in Port-harcourt and I think almost the same size as the one in Abuja.
It's still a work in progress because there are some finishing touches that have not been put in place and the shops are still empty(so window shopping hasn't started yet).
Me sha I nor send, my own na make I watch film. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The tickets are really affordable, 800naira on weekends and 500naira on weekdays.
So I got a ticket, pop corn and a drink, and was off to see a movie. The first thing I noticed in the theatre was the signature rug of Silverbird in all its cinemas, that blue colourful rug. The seats where also nice and comfy.
By the time the movie started I had forgotten I was in Warri, I thought I was in another city watching a movie.
We experienced a brief power failure for some few seconds which was quickly restored, I liked the quick response.
In general, it was a nice experience and I was impressed. I enjoyed every bit of the movie.
Warri peeps who have been looking for somewhere to chill for the weekend, this is goodnews because you can go and relax now at Silverbird Cinema.
I know, I would definitely go back to see another movie next weekend. Inshort I would soon be a regular customer, because I'm a Big Movie Freak.
APROKO OF THE DAY: Genesis Cinema Scheduled To Open In Warri.
Now I used aproko instead of info because I never confirm the gist but news reaching my ears said Genesis Cinema is scheduled to open in Warri November, 2014 and it would be located at the Delta City Mall, the same place where Shoprite is also going to be.
If this is true, it's not bad. Let all of them come, I dey de wait them, lol.
Stay Sharp,
Warri Girl.

So what do you say, Warri based peeps? Should we throw backy and dance that we have an entertainment center? Please don't throw back literally o, lol but just be happy that small small things are coming into the city. Shoprite sef is even under construction in Warri which is also cool ;)
INFO OF THE DAY: The Movie '12 Years a Slave'
'12 Years a Slave' won an Academy Award for Best Picture.
The movie—based on the life of Solomon Northup, a free Black man abducted and sold into slavery—also took home Oscars for Best Supporting Actress (Lupita Nyong'o) and Best Adapted Screenplay (John Ridley).
This makes it the first time a film by a Black director (Steve McQueen) has won Best Picture in the Academy's 86-year history.
One of the actors, Chiwetel Ejiofor is also a Nigerian.
Now you see why I want to see this movie, the rating for it is just too gbaski.
Stay Sharp,
Warri Girl.
