The week that was has been...eventful!deadlines to meet,promises to fullfill and a blog to attend to.i have a new buddy in blogger world.her name is Amantle Mapoka(a friend of mine from highschool).When she first asked to profile me,i was honored by the gesture but honestly i didnt expect the moon.im elated to say at the moment,nearer home she's by far my blogging inspiration and her catchy work drove me right into the mission of giving my favourite outlet a mini-makover.here is a link to her exquisite piece about me as well as other local and upcoming fashionistas.dont forget to subscribe.she's got a wealth to offer.
In further regard,thought id let you in on the makeover,where im headed and what to expect from TheFashionPoet.the name of my blog is perhaps a seldom combo but infact a spot on description of who i am and what i believe in...hence i saw it fit to try and create that balance....build that bridge between fashion and poetry.from now on you will see a bit of both worlds,simultaneously or otherwise.ranging from the latest trends to my personal obsessions and from time to time;second opinions from my peers,however il still keep those emotive pieces rolling.
see you on the flipside bubs.

Did You Know?
Did you know?....
...that in latter day 1 in each clique girls get raped and dont even know it? what used to be a sensual,sensational and memorable 'first time' for the earlier generation has become a roudy, rough, hit and run, must do by or before sixteen situation for today's youngsters.i hope you follow.
Rape isnt only being held down and forced to have sex,its as long as one part of the couple is unsatisfied with any sexual agreement prior to the activity... which is why i also believe in the existence of inter-marital rape.when i asked for a friends opinion on inter-marital rape he said that he believed marraige is an agreement where two people indirectly consent to jumping into bed together,whenever regardless.hence should there be a disagreement,its simply that and not rape.whats your say?feel free to leave a comment.
moving on,a couple of days ago,a friend confided in me about her friend who gave it up to her crush during a house party in the presence of other invitees.she went on to narrate of how traumatising it was for both the 'audience' and the female.she explained how she was in an awkward and uncomfortable position,was clearly in pain and tears streamed down her face...simultaneously,blood trickled from Lord knows where onto the floor.mere words evoked mixed feelings ranging from disgust to pity(God pardon me).the sight of it would haunt me probably for the rest of my life.
manier times,bitter-sweet is used metaphorically.its nothing tangible...sex,it should be something like.beautiful pain.but tears,blood,sweat?thats all pain!question yourself,debate it,weigh the pros and cons.who are you doing it for?it should be for you because you feel you're ready not because your partner is putting pressure on you.that alone is rape.and never because your friends are doing it!although i mean not to judge,over and above all...consider your values and beliefs and the consequences your decision will come with.if you do go ahead with it,think about what memories you'l carry out of it.are they worthy of your past,your present and your untouched future?
its sad 'cause there's no reversing what happened.i wish there's something i could have done to save her..she's only 14.somethings happen so others learn from them.its life.girls,ladies,women....know your self worth.make the right choices.

streets meet style
im yonie...easy to spot..highwaists,bags,shoes and the sort.
because i fought for style over just fashion...my own voice through the clothes i wear
a voice to define me and a voice to share
...despair...lies in the power of my sky-high loubis
its what puts me ahead of that specie i thought had coodies.
shout out to the woman who can stand tall and make perfect strides in them
...for it is the woman who can take life's lemons and make lemonade of them
here art thou...7inches higher,stronger,tougher,perhaps vile
watch as these streets meet my style
