The Circle Skirt from Rwanda

Chris Too Much, our dear comedian friend.
We call him Too Much, if you meet him, you'll know why.
He brought me a skirt all the way from Rwanda.
Beautiful pattern.

I love the cut.
It is a circle skirt.
It gives a 1950s look.

I wore it on a number of occasions including my sister in law pre-wedding party.
All the ladies at the event wore some african print clothes and look absolutely amazing.

I also lend it to my friend, Zosia, a designer who has the company Only Worn to try on,
She paired it with black tights and red boots with a dark cardigan for a dinner we had with my good friend Rose from the Crop Club
She made a pattern out of it for skirts in the same style I've needed at the time.
I was wearing a lot of african print circle skirt in that particular period.
One of my colleagues suggested I should make a business out of Circle Skirt

Here it is.

The business,

My ebay shop and this skirt is on sale and more!

Cut it, you may die. Find and name your kidnapper and weight whether you shall escape or stay. Remember though as you live one another emerge because the definition of yourself does not exist, you are dependent on others and the environment you are in.

Can you do both at the same time? Yes you can do both, do not ever think that where you are is static, the place is constantly changing and it is within the details that you can find new meaning for oneself and if this is not enough, plan time in and go to come back different..

Horrid Airbnb Experience - Getting in touch with Airbnb

After our adventure with B., the recovering alcoholic, I decided to look through Airbnb for some cues on B. The profile of B. appeared OK. the people on the page did not complain of any issue with him whatsoever. Only one person said that ''he could not stay anymore in their property'' - does that mean that he could stay because he wrecked the place? or because they had a change of plan? Who knows. I could not even bring myself to put my dirty laundry out on Airbnb. B. has mental health issues. Am I the one who needs to make this personal matter public on a social media platform?  So I wrote '' B. cannot stay in my property anymore and I hope that he will find a group of people who will be able to support him''. Is it the appropriate language to use? I contacted Airbnb to let them know about B. - they gave me a call and kind of told me that I need to be careful with the people I am bringing to my home. I told them, yes but there was no indication...
