"Get Swapping!"

A Change Maker in Lagos

A great guy with an insightful idea has started a program in Lagos called Mom's Connect.
Its quite an impressive programme that helps pregnant women and nursing mothers get healthcare information and questions answered by sending a text to a specified number.
What makes this idea amazing is that, pregnant women in villages and small towns (who all have phones, trust me) but dont always have access to a doctor who can answer their questions and dispel pregnancy myths, can through Mom's Connect get all the information they need!

Its a new project and in a conversation with the progenitor, he is still working out the kinks.

"Australia's Next Top Model" Host Makes Mistake in Announcing the Winner

This must have been a curl-your-toes-in-your-shoes, wish-you-were-somewhere-else moment for Sarah Murdoch, the host of "Australia's Next Top Model" when she mistakenly announced the runner up as the winner of the show on live television.

Let me set the stage - there is Kelsey Martinovich in a black and cream shimmering lace gown and Amanda Ware in a power red floor length asymmetric monostrap gown holding hands, waiting for Sarah Murdoch in her black mono-shouder gown to annouce who had won Australia's Next Top Model.

Then Sarah made the ghastly mistake and announced the runner up Kelsey Martinovich as the audience-voted top Model. Kelsey in her one minute of fame, gave her victory speech in an excited joy filled voice and then Sarah went pale. She pressed her finger to her right ear and muttered "Oh my God, I dont know what to say right now, I'm feeling a bit sick about this. No. I'm so sorry about this. Oh my God. I don't know what to say. This was a complete accident. It's Amanda, I'm so sorry. It was fed to me wrong."

In reality, Amanda Ware was... is the winner of Australia's Next Top Model!

It appears Kelsey was initially ahead of Amanda in the votes and this was the information fed to Sarah's earpiece; so when Amanda caught up and won in the votes, the information was not forwarded to Sarah.

The organisers of the show have since compensated Kelsey with a $25,000 cash reward and a trip to New York.

My heart goes out to Kelsey who's victory was only a moment long and to Sarah Murdoch who although handled the situation with poise and professionalism must still have been so embarrassed.

I bet my last penny, someone or a group of people somewhere got fired for this gauffe... sorry muchos.... you should have known better

Have a lovely week people!

6 months

I cant believe I have been gone for 6 months.... a 6 months hiatus... back, married and living in marital bliss.... perhaps a few pictures for you guys... of the gown that spoke to me... of my engagement.... after 6 months away, you guys sure deserve to see some pictures...sorry no face shots!

I'll just hold on a bit

I think I'll hold on to my passport a bit.... just to see the unfolding of this drama that brings sudden hope...

somebody has filled out a "liver rejuvenating form".....

firstly he forms a presidential advisory panel - to draw the "king makers close to himself" then he dissolves the "council of thieves" without prior notice!.... he voids the oil bidding that was meant to give out oil blocks to deserving sons of the shoil and approved contracts for 9 skills acquisition centers in the Niger Delta! .... and then he tops it by throwing that bone at the masses " our votes will count in 2011!" super stuff!

hmmm..... perhaps somebody is not such a pussy after all... Thuraya must be shitting bricks!

I need to stick around and watch this drama unfold... awesome stuff! it reads like a novel by Jeffery Archer.... exciting and saccharine sweet in parts! lol
