When I got this beautiful cover of Genevieve Magazine, I was very excited that our actresses are looking beyond their "make believe job"- A lot of them are giving so much to looking good.I was not surprise when I saw the names that made the cover. Genevieve Nnaji, Ini Edo, Kate Henshaw Nuttal and Rita Dominic are all epitome of glamour and beauty.
That doesnt mean that is all Nollywood can get. Younger actresses like Ebube Nwangbo, Rukky Sanda, Bisi Ibidapo-Obe and others are head turners too.
Kate Henshaw, who is the oldest amongst the actresses gives attention to details. I remember some months back when I took a visiting German journalist to Kate Henshaw for an interview, the guy look at Kate and while guessing her age, he said Kate couldn't have been more than 25 or 26!!!Ofcourse, Kate herself laughed. It was all a compliment anyway, though she is in her late 30s, she look ravishing.I have photographed her several times and the result has always been wonderful.
Genevieve Nnaji- She is obviously the most talked about actress in Nigeria movie industry today.Genevieve has a gift of heavenly beauty.Aside her looks, the truth must be told, Genevieve is a good actress.She interprets her role well and that is why she is the first choice of movie buyers. Many people don't like her "I am larger than life attitude" but they can't resist photos on the cover of a magazine.I have quite a number of her photographs, which i took at different functions in my collections.
Ini Edo Ehigwina- She is Nigeria's most controversial actress (though our dear friend,Mercy Johnson is dragging that position with her).Like her or hate her, she s deliciously sexy and an embodiment of beauty. She has curves and just anything she wears would bring out her figure 8.No other actress has earned so much knocks or has rumour peddled about her than the Akwa Ibom state born star. She like exotic wines and she shark them well.
I have photographed Ini Edo too at various times,both within and outside Lagos.The result has always been wondrous.Ini Edo sometimes get it wrong in her dressing (according to the verdicts of our readers).
Rita Dominic: Rita is ever stunning. Just when you think that a star of her status should be soaked in ornament,she comes out simple.She does her calculation well and that is why she keeps winning our heart.She is smoking hot with elegance.For now, she is still the reigning queen of fashion in Nollywood based on her appearance.I have photographed Rita too and i know that she would make the cover of any beautiful magazine like this!!!
Data Okorodudu made so much sense by making these top Nollywood girls look like any "marketable" superstar that one would find in Hollywood. Lets also thank Mrs.Betty Irabor, the founder of Genevieve Magazine for raising the standard with this cover.

DESIGNER HAUS OF THE WEEK - MAKEDA
House of Makeda was created by Teni Olafisoye, a musician and fashion designer. Her love of both music and fashion inspired her to create a house that is edgy, fashion-forward and unique, socially conscious and eclectic. She studied History at the University College London and African Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies and has soaked up a myriad of multicultural influences while there. She lives now in Lagos, Nigeria, working from the Makeda studio and fuses the African with Western and Eastern, the vintage with the contemporary to create a style that is powerful, classic and truly sophisticated. THE BRONZE COLLECTION



Makeda was the famed African Queen of Sheba who captured the heart of King Solomon journeying to his kingdom to gain knowledge and wisdom, which were to her, more precious than gold or any jewel. In her time, she was the embodiment of regal elegance and now, the timeless qualities she possessed have been reborn for the modern woman.
THE ASO- EBI COLLECTION



House of Makeda is a unique, aspirational African lifestyle brand that creates truly one-of-a-kind style. We draw inspiration from diverse cultures, eras through time and nature, fusing the African with the Western, the old with the new to create classic pieces for the sophisticated, intelligent, modern woman.
GOLD FLARE




With our ready to wear Makeda line, exquisitely made to measure Makeda Couture and diffusion demi-couture L’Afro Bohème line for the exotic haute bohemian; there is something for every woman. Truly iconic. Truly African. Yours truly, House of Makeda.

GOOD PERFUME ADVICE

Here are some useful tips on how to make a pleasant entry and hold that fragrance long enough to last for the good money spent to purchase it.
•Try to keep your perfumes in dark and cold places so they can remain long-lasting.
•Do not splash perfumes on silk because it leaves stains.
•If you want to use perfumes which cause allergic reaction, try to spray it on your handbag or your hair or the parts of clothing which do not touch your skin directly.
•If you want to find out if you are allergic to some fragrances, spray it gently on your wrist or inner part of your elbow. If after about an hour you notice some reaction, it means that the perfumes are not for you.
•It is better to perfume your body before you get dressed because you can spray more of your body then and it will not leave stains on your clothes.
•Most perfumes are designed to last for about four hours. Some of them may last longer but they will change their scent then. Therefore it is advisable to use perfumes once or twice more during the day.....
