6. Who’s the worst dressed person in your opinion?

Chamer Gal.. shes beautiful, she's talented, but she's got the dress sense of a boiled turnip. chek her videos, attend her shows, ul undersatnd what am talking about. Am not hating on da lady... but!! its a NEHHH!! NEEGGHH nd a big NO!! disguistin.. dont forget, Chahlovei tels it lyk it is!! is t a crime???

Camphor, tha skin doctor, which is an amazing skincare system I use.. hahahahaha!

9. WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE DESIGNER AND WHY?

Mmmm... Dificult question. I think I don't have any specific favourite designer. I usually love my niggah, Shanti Lo's designs, but he sumtyms design things I really hate... Becos f that, it's very comon for me having onli favourite items or stuff of different designers, not only a favourite one! :) 

10. What’s the worst outfit you’ve ever worn?

 A lot of people look back ten years ago and go, “Why was I wearing that!?” I look back a year ago and say the same thing. The craziest outfit I ever wore was the yellow baloon dress, purple machesa and sum crazy long earigs.. it was at a wedding in Molepolole. It was interesting. It popped. I think I styled myself that day… kwakwakwakwa!

11.WHATS THE MOST EXPENSIVE ITEM IN YOUR CLOSET?

 I don't really have anything too expensive. I'm guessing my P1 700 silver shiny evening dres is the most expensive thing.. ke cheap tota..

12. FASHION DOS AND DONT?
 God damn! di dintsi tota Goitse. check them fashion blogs, read those fashion dos n don'ts.

13. any fashion advice?

I'd say, many women, including me, would choose fashion over comfort.. But still, make sure you carry a back-up pair of shoes with you, and please don't torture your feet for very long, no matter how sexy or awesome the shoes are!
AND if you dont wanna see yourself as a fashion criminal/offender on my face-book page, HONESTLY W.T.F then do what is right. Chahlove is watching you!!





Thanx LORATO....LOL

13. Any fashion advice? 


Style goes beyond the hanger you touch.Mix and miss. Reinventing, Renew your thinking. DO not conform. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN.Fashion to me is about the ‘what ’and ’where’, style is about the “how”. there is no item that is stylish in of itself, style falls on how u put things together. Clothes don't have style, the person makes the style. . Fashion is not something to be followed sheepishly, it is however, something to be set, select from or totally reject. . Style is letting your imagination run away with you.


thanx Tsholo
