LIGHTS. CAMERA. STRUT!!!

Gatsh IT.MIX AND MISS.

 While AWOL..
Zebra on Cheetah on Leopard...Thongs and Sidewalks. Bright things on shiny things.
Print on Print on Print.....Mix-Miss Madness. Busier and Happier. Mind uber focused. Wings out, feet off the ground. Ready to take off.
 This has been our lives for every Weekend for the past eight months. Doing more of what we love doing, going punk and having fun while doing it. The love resonates all the time always all ways.   People seem to be into it and we are grateful, for every real 'like' we get, we are humbled. Things have been different since. The fashion has changed, our love is fully blown. We inhale, exhale style. The fashion pieces we once hated are what we love now. Such is life.

She asks us, "you'll always love me won't you?" and "the rain won't make any difference?"..We replied "NO""we love you fashion. We live for you, fashion.We live love life because of you!!
 

To cut the long story story here is what we've been up to..we gotta start somewhere..so lets..lets start here..

August, AUGUST, august!!!

Spring will be here soon. Can't believe its August already. 2012 is well on its way to be memorable.  This year has brought  along more ups, some downs , yet we are more determined than ever to keep on the path of our bliss....highly focused, with our eyes on the ball, feet wont fail us.

Gaborone Fashion Weekend. International designers, fierce gatshy models fros and bros. Media power houses. Tummy in, Chest out.Lights. Camera. Fashion. Welcome to the Gaborone Fashion Weekend. The weekend that was..10-11th AUGUST..A TIME of world class fashion. We were part of this big glamorous event as "the shows' stylists along side other fashion stylists and an international celebrity stylist ARIETA MURAY.  This experinece softened our grave of a thousand fears. We now know, we can make it, its just not a buzz, not a hobby, not a past-time thingy. We are born to do this. Its overwhelming. Its in our souls..our soul cages.

Fashion stying/ blogging/ fashion journalism/ image consultancy.This is our personal legend. The key to our happiness.

the gods have ways of 
telling you things when you think you know a lot
or worse when you think 
you know just a little-charles bukowski

so we sat our big bums down, blogged. We blog when we have to, and not when we need to.

 Sorry for the long post, by now you know we all about "FASHION", and that, This is the one thing we can talk about freely, without any fear bros and fros, here is our weekend pictures.

We promise to blog more often.  Koketso Chiepe, we are forever grateful. Thank you.
