I just got back from a very busy day. Had to handle two modeling shoots for a company using my models to represent their brand. For the first time in months I missed being in front of the camera. What we shot today was for a cosmetics company and the models had to wear really skimpy clothing, there were two make-up artists, a costumier, a director for the shoot, a camera man and I was there to direct the girls on how to pose, smile, positions to take etc. I envied the models so badly that I was almost tempted to ask the director to let me join the models. I haven't been in front of a camera in so long. Anyway, the shooting went well, but we couldn't finish. We'll continue tomorrow.
So I got back really tired but decided to check in with you guys. Let it not be said that Linda didn't post in one day...even if it's just a post lol.
There's just so much going on in Naija right now. More election results have been released, there was terrible fighting in the Aguda area of Lagos in Surulere, close to where I live, between angry supporters of AC and Supporters of PDP, where I learnt two lives were lost, cars destroyed, people injured...etc. It was crazy.
Also I heard at least 32 people were killed and more than two dozen wounded at Virginia Tech university today in the deadliest campus shooting in U.S. history. I don't have all the details of that incident so I won't say anything about it until I get all the info I need...I'm sure most of you have heard the story. It's so sad that such senseless killings are still happening in our society.
Then I heard Richard Gere caused 'wahala' for himself by kissing Indian actress and Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty several times during an Aids-awareness event yesterday. In a country where sex and public displays of affection are largely taboo, photographs of Gere embracing Shetty and kissing her on the cheek were printed on newspapers' front pages which caused members of the right-wing Hindu nationalist group to set fire to glamour shots of Shetty and beat burning effigies of Gere with sticks. I don't blame Richard...which man wouldn't want to kiss a beautiful woman like Shilpa. Even if he'll pay for it later...
I'm bone tired. I got to go sleep. I can barely keep my eyes open. I'm not even reading what I'm writing...
Ok guys...gotta go. Goodnight y'all
Oh...before I go, my site meter tells me I get 350-400 hits everyday. That's great...but I'm aiming higher than that. So if you know how to help publicise my blog, do it for me please. Tell your friends, family, colleagues etc to come check this space out. Thanks and Goodnight
