Who's the fairest of us all?....................

Classic 105,Maina and King'ang'i at times just make my morning!Not they directly but the discussions they come up with,and my fellow Kenyans with their responses!At times I am in a matatu and I laugh so much it scares me.King'ang'i of course does not help situations much with his input and another character who has become one of my favorites,like I seriously look forward to his call is Wakanai(excuse my spelling)!He is a male chauvanist who believes the man is some sort of treasure that women should hold very carefully.I mean the other day they had a discussion about a a woman who's husband had helped her in securing a cool job,then later he lost his,borrowed some 250,000to start a business.She willingly obliged.Did I mention it was given to him as a loan and now that the business isn't doing that well,she sort of wants her money back?The poor brother isn't being talked to,his conjugal rights denied.He has been reported to muns from both sides ie his and her mum.The house is like a war zone!

I smiled at myself that day as I kistened to people's comments.Why?Someone told me that one thing he has been taught is never to touch a woman's money,even if it's your wife's.Never ever.Like it's a no go zone!As a man,do your part and leave the woman out of it.Ladies,are we these bad when it comes to our cash?Like really? So,Wakanai called in and said that's ma crap(one of his fav words)He was for the idea that the wife should even add the guy Kshs500,000!Then,what cracked me up is when he said that when it comes to Kenyan women,living with Gadaffi is so much better.Like for real.We are now worse than one of the worst dictators ever?Wakanai,you got a fan right here!

So,today's topic was based on another caller's input from yesterday's discussion who is for the idea Kissi women are not beautiful.According to him,they are a handful!Today I was just shocked!I know a number of Kisii ladies who are very beautiful(someone just whispered that those are the handful)Shame on you!Any way,that is so not cool.And apparently Kamba's have very beautiful ladies.While on those topic,I pride myself in being gorgeous(you are free to think otherwise).I meet these group of guys sometime back and we chatting and all then one of them goes like "you are very pretty"I;m like thank you.Then somewhere in the conversation,the fact that I come from the lakeside region arises and they are stupified for lack of a better word.And they go like "We have never met a beautiful Luo girl" Now I am very offended.What does where I come from have anything to do with my looks?Maybe there is something I am missing.Does it really have any influence?And if it does,how?

Now I believe we all are beautiful.In our own way,we are beautiful.In the eyes of God we are gorgeous.I would love for us all to uphold this fact but truth is human beings are different and there is no one day we will all agree on the same thing.Ok of course Halle Berry's case is different.I think the world over agrees that she is gorgeous!Ok,now,Samantha Mumba sang about not needing anyone to tell her she's pretty for her to know she is beautiful and that at the end of the day is the attitude we should all have.Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and charity begins at home.Appreciate yourself just as you are.Love yourself and know that you are beautiful and whoever does not see that beauty,there is something wrong with either their eyes or their view.It is not your problem so do not try to sort it!Psalm 139:14 is one of my favorite verses.It tells me that I am fearfully and wonderfully made.That means God took time with me.He did not say let there be,He took His time to mould and shape me and when He was done,He saw that "it is good".Now God giving a stamp of approval is like major news.So who's reprt will you believe today?As long as you are comfortable in your own skin,it does not matter what everyone else says or thinks!

You are a jewel,you are a treasure,you are one of a kind,and you shine just as bright as the stars in the sky,you're a rare kind of wonder created just right so keep your head up no matter the pain,there's nothing about you that's plain.
