NAI PICS SEHEMU YA PILI..

Picha ya kwanza ndio highlight ya safari yangu Nai! Tulicheka kweli! Ailinda Sawe, Tanzanias Namba One designer, Mama Afrika Sana anashangaa Kishweng!
Katika picha nyingine, tunaangalia mfano wa boarding passes za njano! Tulizibeba hadi lango la kuchekiwa! Mmmmmh...

Nikisafiri huwa nahamu sana ya kukutana na wenyeji. Muda unakuwa mdogo. Hata hivyo namshukuru Ayan na wafanyakazi wenzake pale Moi International kwa kunipokea vizuri, kupiga nao picha sehemu ambayo ni nyeti. Zaidi kwa ukarimu wao!
Hope mtaniunganisha na momodo wa Nai!

Nilinunua majarida mbalimbali, nikagundua kwamba Nai kuna vyuo kibao vinavyofundisha maswala ya urembo!Nahisi Kenya itafika mbali sana katika miaka ya mbele kwenye maswala ya Mitindo maana Ms Kenya wala sio shindano lenye nguvu tena. Nahisi na hapa Tz, hali kama hiyo imeanza?

Kuna kitu kinaitwa "gene pool", kwa tafsiri zahisi, Tanzania inaelekea kuwa na gene pool yenye vigezo vya Kimataifa kwa wanamitindo katika mikoa ya Kilimanjaro na Mara.
Wasichana wa maeneo hayo huwa ni warefu na wenye uzuri wa kipekee. Fikiria Miriam Odemba!
Mikoa mingine wasichana wanakuwa wapana, wafupi wa wastani na rangi huwa ni changanyiko, weusi, maji ya kunde, brown na weupe wa kuungua.

Nairobi nilikuwa nawaona wasichana wenye tofauti kibao! Wengi wazuri kwa modeling ya kimagharibi!! Makabila machache yana wasichana wenye uzuri wa kipekee hadi wanashangaza! Si ajabu Imani alipatikana akikatiza mitaa ya Nai na leo ni historia katika ulimwengu wa mamodo weusi!

Hata hivyo, wanaume wengi wa nchi mbalimbali wakifika Dar huwa wanapigwa butwaa na uwingi wa aina za warembo wa nchi hii, nadhani ni kitu kizuri! Kwahiyo masisita wa Bongo, nawapa hongera, maana katika ufupi wenu, upana wenu, rangi mbalimbali na mchnagnyiko wa "genes", MNACHENGUA!

ABOUT JAMILLA VERA SWAI
Unless you are familiar with the local fashion industry you
most probably have not heard of Jamilla Vera Swai. This
young woman compensates her petite stature by making grand,
vibrant, exotic, all in your face extraordinaire designs. In
her designs, she caters for everyone, from the small ones to
the grown ups. There is nothing that this mother of one can
not do, and when you actually meet her you get to be
surprised by everything she has accomplished.
Born in a month of August in Dar es Salaam (a lady never
tells her age) to a predominant Dr. Swai and his lovely
wife Juliette (I can see where Jamilla gets her beauty from)
Jamilla’s love affair with fashion started when she was
just 7 years old. She would use her dolls to create clothes
for. At the age of 14, while she was still in high school,
as it usually happens she caught a modeling agency’s eye
and started modeling for adverts on local TV station in
Maputo as well as designing for the agency she was signed
with, The Studio Stilo.
Being of a petite stature and not being able to do modeling
full time, Jamilla concentrated on what she was doing best,
which was designing. To perfect her skills she joined
Institute de Bela Artes in Maputo to study fashion then
later on moved to Fashion College International in Nairobi
to complete her studies.
she decided to return to her home town of Dar es salaam,
open up Jamilla Vera Swai Design Studio and give the already
established local designers some very heavy competition.
Since then she has participated in various fashion shows and
did some exclusive designs for her growing group of clients,
including clothes for retail shops

UWANJA WA NDEGE WA NAIROBI TORORO!

Sasa hivi nipo ndani ya chumba cha kusubiria ndege hapa Moi Int Airport. Tulitarajia kundoka hapa saa 4 kamili usiku. Tulifika uwanjani saa 2 kamili baada ya kuhangaika na foleni kali kutoka mjini!
Kwenye saa 3 hivi, lilipigwa tangazo likiwataka abiria wa ndege yetu kufika dawati la 'transfer' ambalo kwa kawaida huwa lina vurugu nyingi na wingi wa watu! Tulipanga foleni iliyojaa wahindi na wachina. Katika kudadisi, tuligundua wanaelekea Msumbiji lakini ndege yao ya kuunganisha ilikuwa imefutwa hadi Ijumaa! Duh!
Basi, msitari hauendi, watu kibao, nikamwomba mama mmoja tuliyekuwa naye amwombe mdada mhudumu atusaidie, kumbe ndio ikawa nafuu yetu kwani ndani ya dak 5, tukawa tumepata boarding passes mpya! Tukakimbilia haraka geti namba 4 ambapo ndipo nilipo naaandika haya kupitia simu yangu.

Wenzangu wametawanyika wanazurura, watu wamekaaa chini ama kulala, kumbuka lounge hizi hazina hata Tv jamani...tutaanza kuzoeana hapa, si unajua wabongo wakianza kuteta.....wahudumu staha zimewatoka sasa wanapiga stori hapa kama vile tupo Rose Garden!

Sababu? Tangazo linasema kwamba kuna 'anomaly', tetesi ni kwamba taa kwenye runway ya ndege haziwaki! Ni kweli, hakuna ndege zinazotua wala kuruka, ni kimya! Eneo la maegesho ya ndege ni giza tupu!

Nasikia njaa. Dereva keshanifuata Dar, nimepiga stori na mwenzangu hadi mistari imekwisha. Aaaah, tangazo lingine, sauti ya mwanadada anasema kuna tatizo kwenye runway, wanaomba radhi!

Mhhh, hawa wadada waliokuwa wanatukagua ni warembo, sijui watakubali kutoka kwenye Umodo........?

Habari ndio hiyo, ngoja nikawashangaze na Kiswahili propa!
