My Lagos People 1

Hello My Loviesssss,

How have you all been? This would definitely be one post with the most pictures i think i've ever had on my blog.

So the past one week has been very eventful. I came up with a very interesting idea at work for us to have an exhibition at the on going Lagos Polo Tournament. I had no idea what i was getting myself into. I had no idea i was going to do the planning from start to finish. I thought it would be an opportunity to get away from the office, meet people, enjoy the tournament, take lovely pictures while achieving our ultimate goal of giving the company some more exposure, better brand perception and introducing our services to potential clients. 

The tournament started on wednesday the 19th and trust my office to go the lastminute.com way. Everything from paying for the booth, to getting the prototype into the venue, logistics etc was all done at the last minute. May God deliver us...LOL.

Anyways the first and second days were just alright, with quite a number of people at the event but by friday to sunday, the event took a whole new turn.
More people showed up and the fashionsta's appeared. It was quite difficult working and taking pictures but i tried... Anything for you my lovies :-) The weather was so hot, i had to re-evaluate my life and i know i must make Heaven sha...LOL.

One thing i noticed however at the Lagos Polo tournament was all kinds of styles and trends were on display. It was completely different from the regular sophisticated look, summer dresses, hats, khaki's etc you have at the polo/horse riding events in London. I saw a lot, from people dressed in micro-mini sequin club appropriate dresses, to people in lovely summer dresses and hats.

One fashion trend that was fully on display were jumpsuits & playsuits. I photographed quite a number of people who wore them.

Meanwhile, side gist, Lagosians can POSE sha...Ahn ahn. There was this really handsome guy i met, i was busy admiring his shoes when he walked up to our booth. When he opened his mouth to speak, he was just so shallow. No depth whatsoever. I wouldn't bore you with what made me draw that conclusion but trust me, there should be a law against acting like you are the 8th wonder of the world or God's gift to mankind and at the same time be that shallow...naaa. its just so wrong...LOL.

Let me pause my gist here, because the tournament continues on wednesday and runs through sunday for the grand finale. I shall come back with more pictures and gist.

Thanks for stopping by and always reading my lovies.

xoxo.
