BEST DRESSED MEN

I admire classic style as he knows what suits him and he doesn’t bow to obvious fashion trends. He gives a new meaning to modern elegance.
Whisper it, but this is the man most men would pay good money to look – and dress – like.

Tinnie I like the way he mixes different styles and references; he is like the ultimate dandy. He is definitely one of a kind, not the typical hip-hop artist. He elevates street wear to a next level. His style is eclectic and extremely creative.
The rapper, car lover and fashion entrepreneur is never afraid to take risks and loves playing with his look.

Usher Raymond is a man with subtle charm and a personality that is friendly, yet willful. I think he represents the perfect example of modern elegance, in being sleek without trying, simple and always personal. He wears a tailored suit in a completely natural manner, without seeming like a model.

the iconic supermodel Naomi Campbell is the new face of guess alongside asap rocky. Continue to dominate the fashion world, Naomi!

Honestly its very rare to see women over 40 years been  featured in major fashion campaign because our basic knowledge is that fashion is for young generation below 40 years. that’s why models like Jourdan dunn, Kendall Jenner and Gigi hadid dominates the fashion magazine, fashion runway and fashion campaigns.

I think fashion people have come to value this women in terms of audience they reach to, majority of women over 40 may not look like Cindy or Claudia  or even Naomi but  they can identify themselves with them since most of them are mothers, wife’s, single or divorced. this iconic women can be an example to all women that they can have careers, family and still look amazing.  Fashion world have come to value that in terms of revenue, women over 40 years have money to spend. don’t be surprise if 2016 turn up to be the year of this amazing women.

THE STORY OF ALLAN AARON.

He is best known for pioneering Akurino music to mainstream music.  The Akorino are a group of Kenyan  Christians whose beliefs and practices are based on the principle of non-violence. They are among the groups of people who are considered non-mainstream, and perhaps ineffective in the national politic.

allan-aaron-6.jpg

This may be because they are small in number, simple and spiritual people. They normally do not join the military and the police force. During the almost eighty years of their existence, the Akorino have developed their own set of social values, material culture, and systems of protection against injustice and violence. The Akorino community is an example of how the old and the new have been integrated into the changing structures of social and economic political life of new African states.

Akorino have unique dressing code for both men and women. women don’t wear reveling clothes so do men. they all cover their head. Allan brought something new and fresh. one can be Akorino and still be cool. Allan has collaborated with other gospel artist  which has never happen before since Akorino like doing their things alone. this exposer helped and More people started  listening to Akorina music.

Allan is a family man, and still shinning in his music career. he has won many awards and admiration from people. he has become an icon and his sense of fashion is on point. we celebrate him for  staying true to himself .  just like Lupita Nyongo said no matter where you can from your dreams are valid. Allan is an example of how legends are born.

MEN PROBLEM.

Machismo ideology may be viewed as beneficial to women in that it encourages their husbands to provide for and protect them and their children. Further, by subordinating their needs to those of their family, women earn a lifetime of support from their husbands and children and in this way gain some control in the family.

1f0413849f22030f0deb91c0c9f8b860

Men are generally suppose to be macho, in today world that’s has lost its meaning. In many cultures in the world, there is a long-standing tradition that the man is the head of the household and is responsible for providing for the family. in today world that don’t exist its a 50-50 relationship. That has brought a lot of problem in family. that also explain why some women are single parents. what happen to the macho men.

 

yummy-6

Men are suppose to look strong, confident and courageous that’s how the society what to view men. the truth is most men are very insecure just like women some men don’t like their bodies. the most insecure thing most men faces is the size of their manhood and most recently more and more men are facing the risk of impotent and lack of erection that’s a major problem.

sexy-construction-worker

To most men been able to sire children  is very important. so been impotence is  a curse. many men who cant have children try all means possible to have children including trying out medical procedures and traditional ways to have children. women may accept and live knowing they will never get children but most men wont.   that’s why most men die early.
