Would you give up your dreams for a man?

If you have a career you love so much, basically living your dream and a man asks you to give it all up to be his wife...would you?

This has nothing to do with me o, so don't wonder, just answer the question mehn...lol

Really want to know what you guys think.

Seriously is any man worth it? Giving up your dreams for them? Not living the life you want while they live theirs? Is it fair for any man to even demand that? You see a lot women give up their dreams just to be wives and mothers, is it fair to them?

What do you say?

Laura Ikeji's Naija Dance Academy

I have a younger sister that's multi-talented. She's the creative head of my T-Shirt line (Coming soon), she's also an aspiring rapper, currently in the studio working on her upcoming album (btw, she's looking for a management team, holla at her if you're interested), but above all this, she's an incredibly talented dancer. When I say talented, I mean really really talented.

I'm not saying this 'cos she's my baby sister, this is a statement of fact. She can bust some unbelievable crazy moves...moves I've never seen anywhere else. If she can rap half as much as she can dance, (she's a good rapper BTW) she'll give every female rapper in Nigeria a run for their money ;), I mean it, she's really talented.

Laura has started her own Dance Group/Academy...called NAIJA DANCE ACADEMY, to pass on her skills, to teach people interested in learning how to dance; but she's strictly into hip hop and street dance, no salsa's or contemporary dance, strictly hip hop. If you're interested in joining her group or academy or need more info, contact Laura on 08025862471, or email her at ikejilaura@yahoo.com or just meet her on facebook.

Laura, by the way, is also a fitness instructor.

She's a Psychology undergraduate of the University of Lagos and she's my baby sis...oh I already said that...lol.
So proud of her.
Do check her out.
Cheers.

Azam + Bobby = How do I look?

Finally I bring you the pictures...like I said earlier, this week has been crazy for me...but we thank God.

Yesterday I was at the African Inauguration of the Striding Man Society hosted by Johnnie Walker at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island. It was a really cool and classy event. The keynote address was delivered by one of the most charismatic men around, ex-governor Donald Duke, and boy, did he keep us riveted for at least one hour as he told personal stories and encouraged everyone to go after their dreams.

As usual, I didn't go to the event alone...I never go to any event alone...I find that a little awkward. Most of the time I go with my sis, my long time friend, Andy and my right hand man, Oteri. But this time Sandra wasn't available, so Oteri, Andy and I went together.

Once I get married, the dynamics will change of course ...lol

Check out the pictures

My hair is by Bobby's Signature

My dress is by Azam Couture, owned by a very talented young lady

See, I decided not to show off my nice legs this time...lol

We actually stopped by somewhere on the Island to get food before heading to the venue of the event. That's where these pictures were taken...

My younger sis doesn't like my hairstyle...do you? This is the most glam I've gone. I usually go for simple styles but Oteri took me to the salon yesterday and gave them strict instructions...and I'm supposed to be his boss...lol

So what do you guys think of my dress? Please speak your mind...you're free to abuse me, but don't be too nasty o...lol. I'm a little new to dressing up and going to events so don't be too hard on me ;), but if you think I rock, please say it loud and clear...that's what a girl wants to hear jo...*wink*
