Captures it all in a sense.<br /><br />I thought about putting up a picture of Ridwana and then someone wrote in to say that she thought we were making fun of "hot nikabi babes" and P. fielded that one and pointed out we were not.<br /><br />I explained to Ridwana and her folks that this blog gets a ton of racist and anti-Muslim hate mail on the regular and I thought it not right to expose Ridwana to that (or their innocent family too).<br /><br />We live in a messed up world as you know and it is important that we protect our loved ones and our integrity.<br /><br />Aaaahhh damn. It is sooo too late for me to go anonymous now - just google Ridwan and whammo - it is me.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />Onward!<br />RidwanRidwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758153484699728802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-57502805329677735652011-09-21T17:40:14.277+02:002011-09-21T17:40:14.277+02:00Why are my aunt-in-law and I the only ones out of ...Why are my aunt-in-law and I the only ones out of you, Miss P and the rest of the world who KNOW Prince is gay? My aunt-in-law Pretty quite eloquently calls him "Princess Prince". LOL:) OH MY GOSH THAT CRACKS ME UP ALL THE TIME!!<br /><br />Ridwan, I never would've even thought of lawns and colonialism as correlating. Thank you for enlightening me. It's much appreciated. <br /><br />Would your people freak out if you put up a pic of the pretty Ridwana for us? Many blessings to the pretty girl, God help her in God-forsaken Ventersdorp or Klerksdorp or Hellsdorp! God help us all in God-forsaken North-West Province dorpies! <br /><br />Miss P, have you ever been this side? I've asked Erica to please come to South Africa but I aint bringing her here! There's no water here and the men's bladders explode on any building, tree or human being they happen to be around. <br /><br />Eish South Africa- the urinary post-apartheid Rainbow Nation leader of the African Agenda...neh...Nolwazihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13628478131579213980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-65237311880966021682011-09-16T19:31:57.901+02:002011-09-16T19:31:57.901+02:00Mmmm P. why you gotta go there and do so with a co...Mmmm P. why you gotta go there and do so with a compliment too :0)<br /><br />Prince has a grip of great songs but this is my favorite.<br /><br />"Nothing compares to you" (he wrote it and his version is so much better than that once bald woman).<br /><br />"Let's go crazy" is 80s fare extraordinaire and so is "1999".<br /><br />I will admit that Prince grew on me through the years and even in the 'symbol' time I was not entirely on board.<br /><br />But on the whole Purple Rain was a phenomenal album.<br /><br />Oh oh don't forget "You got the Look" with Sheena Easton and he wrote and produced "Manic Monday" by the Bangles which should appeal to your (dis)like of Mondays :0)<br /><br />Set that all aside - the man dumped Carmen Electra - that alone makes him a legend :0)<br /><br />Peace P.<br /><br />ridiRidwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758153484699728802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-29297820720535855642011-09-16T19:28:13.484+02:002011-09-16T19:28:13.484+02:00Thank you Pserean.

I was told that internet access/speeds have improved a lot in the last two or more years.<br /><br />But your point is taken on the "no hassle" part. It is still about having the means to be online in the so called developing world (Kenya is not an exception).<br /><br />In India it is just amazing how easy it is to get online and use your cell phone even for international calls.<br /><br />The government in SA wants to keep telecoms the expensive cow that it is because it is about cash/revenue.<br /><br />Onward!<br />RidwanRidwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758153484699728802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-80637744015272710182011-09-16T18:28:36.450+02:002011-09-16T18:28:36.450+02:00You right Erica.

Nairobi is, after all, a very bad imitation of London. This is not to say that London isn't a horrible imitation of itself, but let's not psychoanalyze today.<br /><br />I hope you are well, brother.Kwelihttp://kweligee.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-74709236333475572672011-09-16T17:46:19.823+02:002011-09-16T17:46:19.823+02:00Ridwana will fare just fine.

What's important is that she has parents who can instill the importance of an education and presence of knowing who she is and where she came from.<br /><br />Girls need firm foundations and I'm sure she has that and more.Ericanoreply@blogger.com
