Amrita Arora to Play Lingerie Model

Amrita Arora to Play Lingerie ModelShe has made to cover of many Indian magazines and even international for when she dresses well, she could be the talk of the town. Amrita Arora, the sister of bootilicious Malaika Khan would be playing a lingerie model in Sajid Nadiadwala’s ‘Kambakth Ishq’. If the movie would do wonders or not, that only time may foretell but hopefully there would be a good collection of stylish lingerie’s to watch out for.

Entertainment Time

Every second, there is one new Naija artist coming out or the other, so I've dedicated this post to some new ones I have recently discovered but before that, a few randoms:

I got this in a forward, I thought I had time on my hands, but I guess there will always be people with more time e.g. the "Mallam We Love Your Suya" artist - anyway this pic is quite amusing: An underground tube map of parts of Lagos Island hehe coming soon to a subway near you, it's funny though. (Click to enlarge)

Actually just read at the bottom - Jeremy Weate, the designer is a fellow Naija blogger and this was a project of his. Well done, it makes sense sha.....if only I could get from Ojuelegba to the Palms that easy!

Then, a report shows that 67% of Nigerians are satisfied (wink wink) and apparently we are the world's most satisfied lovers - read here. I sorta believe, there is so much infidelity how won't they be satisfied? Hehe....

So the TL WA Blogville Edition is finally here - featuring Adaure, Taureanminx, Bella Naija, Bimbylads and myself. Check it out here.

First off, I would like to acknowledge and thank the True Love West Africa team for the feature.

However, yet another disclaimer is in order as I am aware magazines tend not to include everything you say in an interview, in which case I tried to be as diplomatic as possible but OH NOOOOOOOO - I come across as some cheesy Nigerian techy who brags about her blog....well, there is freedom of speech so...

1st paragraph: I was asked about my occupation although that has nothing to do with blogging really. I mentioned about enjoying blogging cos I am able to pass information to Nigerians around the world about bla and bla and hence you get an audience/following.

2nd paragraph: I do not surf the net as a so called IT GURU. I would probably get sacked. I only mentioned I work in IT consulting when asked my occupation - how that relates to writing a blog beats me.

3rd paragraph: I am a Nigerian at heart hence the name Naija to the Core was my response, all that flag flying stuff is corny but I guess that is what sells.

4th pargraph: Out of the twenty-something questions they asked, they asked me how many hits I received and I looked at the total number of hits since I started (at the bottom of this page) and divided it by the number of months I had been blogging. Didn't just say how many hits I receive - or trying to brag about how my blog is so great or that I have a LARGE POOL OF NIGERIANS LOL?!!!!! Although I mentioned, sometimes I go M.I.A. and people call me/email/leave messages to update BECAUSE I am M.I.A. so I know I have to deliver.

5th paragraph: This is soooo wrong, they asked if I make money from it and I said no I don't although there are ways to make money from blogging e.g. Google AdSense. They even emailed me to re-confirm whether I intend to make money and I responded saying I haven't thought about that unless in the future. Arrghhh

Last paragraph: I mentioned advantages and disadvantages of blogging and one disadvantage would be not updating where you lose your audience to a new blog on the block but hey, that's Blogville for you. I also try to blog more but since I work and can't let blogging affect my work, I'd rather have it the other way round - LOL OK SO WHERE IS THAT ANSWER EHN ...

So Why oh why are my responses skewed? Hiss. I can imagine reading this and saying this Mona must feel oh as if she is always hounded by paparazzi. Apologies to any readers who probably raised an eyebrow when they read my article.

Oh well, those who know me know me. Mona is not proud neither does she brag and tries as much as possible to update because she is always M.I.A. guess the PR is good so thanks to them but like Taureanminx's disclaimer too, I have learnt that as diplomatic as you try to be, Magazines will be Magazines....lol

Next off, England is now SMOKE FREE! The smoking ban commenced on Sunday the 1st of July and now, people can't smoke in public e.g. malls, restaurants, bars, pubs, clubs, hehehe...at least I know when I go out, my hair will smell fresh at the end of the night. Check out www.smokefreeengland.co.uk/July1st

It is also a bid to reduce the extremely high risk of cancer via smoking/second-hand smoke. I bet you all knew that though :-)

Lastly, look what I found! Brings back memories! :o)
