There is a saying in JA that suggests 'we' would never pass her by - Jamaica man dem jus waan si frock-tail... suggesting 'we' do not discriminate
True to a point, but there are some we will take home to mama and some we will wear as trophies, showing off to our friends. When it comes to that sort of thing, we discriminate perhaps more than most!
Kingston, Flatbush or Brixton she would be getting attention, the woman carry herself with class and distinction, she is trim, fit and a nice looking face, what more you need to turn your head and take a second look.
Lupita Nyong'o won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress last night, for her powerful role in 12 Years a Slave, directed by Steve McQueen! Go Lupita!
But lately I've been feeling a little fatigued by the "Oh-my-god-Lupita-Nyong'o-is-so-beautiful-I-can't-DEAL-WITH-IT!"
The current fad-like coverage of the Kenyan actress, overshadows the more interesting things about her background, the stuff that doesn't get reported. True, I assumed she was a nobody until this slave narrative film, but a quick skim of Wikipedia reveals the stuff that the media isn't all that interested in.
Se is striking.. There is a difference between been striking and beautiful... She is refreshing as she have the natural look and not the euro centric look of beauty....
