Short break, tatoos in Benin, the circus and other things

I have decided to try moving my blog to blogger Beta.They said they’d mail me when they’re done so I decided to stretch my cyber legs in my summer crib.

Anyway, onto other things.It seems tatoos are the new craze with Benin women.Henna and traditional scars have always been beautiful but tatoos are overly dependant on the skill of the artist.I have seen some hideous and garish tatoos in my time.It also doesnt helpt that many of these women are having these tatoos because of the American influence.I have seen loads and loads of tatoos on black women here in the states so I guess their African sisters have decided not to be left behind.The thing they should be aware of, is the fact is that tatoos are permanent and dont look so good when your skin becomes flabby and begins to sag with the passage of time.

In other news it seems Madame Ngilu took exception to Mr Michuki’s statement in reference to her intention to leave the ruling coalition if the President joined NARC Kenya.Instead of calling a press conference or meeting him to discuss the issue she goes ahead to storm his office, he in turn is no better as he dismissed her protest as a tribal jig.If these are the people Kenyans have to make decisions of national importance no wonder the country is underdeveloped.

Fall weather is finally kicking in!No more sweltering summer heat!In fact there were some light showers this morning!Things are indeed looking up!But the sad thing is that means winter is near.Oh well, I guess we cant have it all, can we?Time to go buy those heaters and jackets!
