Girls That Die for a Handbag

-

Victoria Beckham loves Birkin bags for the simple reason she can afford them.

Victoria Beckham, a British business woman famous for her clothing line loves Birkin handbags because she can afford them. How much? New from the box cost about $71,000 and previously owned (second hand) about $40, 000, depending on style, size and colour.

Handbags owned by Victoria Beckham, Rihanna, Jenifer Lopez, Kimora Lee Simmons, Nigerian actress Ini Edo or Bonang Matheba a South African media personality, can be a mother’s nightmare. The internet fuels the appetite for what girls think is the good life. That is why some of them run personal prostitution rings on social media like Instagram and Facebook. Personal, because there is no pimp sending them to assignments and taking a commission. It is not called prostitution. The women are called Instagram models and some of them have a cash app to make it easier for men to pay at first “Hi.”  

Young women can crave for good things but, it is suicidal if a 17 year-old thinks she can get them by twerking online or dropping her clothes. It sounds like common sense, but it is put on pause, when they want that Gucci handbag or Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton debut collection.

Well-established women like Bonang Matheba and Ini Edo, can afford them because they work. Young girls boast about their prostitution jaunts around the world to ‘get the bag.’ That is what prostitution is called, getting the bag, supposedly full of money. Most transactions are electronic, but it’s getting the bag nonetheless. Some girls are used and thrown overboard. Others are mutilated and left by the road side or park.

The bigger the bag, the more dangerous the assignment. Parents cannot believe how tables have turned. They are burying kids instead of kids burying them. Parents’ fears come from seeing such  headlines. They pray it’s not their daughters, because they don’t know anything about their life: their friends and why they don’t want to work. “I’m an influencer mom. I‘ve told you countless times. That’s why I travel. Listen, leave me alone. It’s my life.”

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
