Ladies, Vintage Clothing, and The Covert Operation.

Vintage fashion, as it's called for the sake of being stylish, is not new to the world. What's new however, is the way people, especially the ladies, dramatically stroll into these shops to acquire these stuffs. I particularly see no much difference between vintage clothing and the popularly known okirika. I'm not a fan of vintage clothing, but this is not in any way critizing the "stylish ladies" that owe it their patronage. Okirika as it stands today, provides clothing for a whooping 70% or more of Nigeria's population. Now, let me amuse you. Do you know how these girls walk into these okirika shops??? This is how they go in; they put on big sunshades, whether it is sunny or not, they look around by turning left and right as though they were crossing a major road, some of the more stylish ones even feign processes like receiving a phone call or scratching the lower part of their chin, while looking around for familiar faces. I particularly see no much difference between vintage clothing and okirika, except for the fact that vintage clothing may either be new or not new or unused medieval stock as compared with the okirika, which is conventionally known as "used clothes". Truth be said, apart from the fact that vintage style is of an old era, those who actually know how to wear them would definitely give you a run for trendy dress sense. Call it vintage, call it hand picked, call it okirika, it generally doesn't count. What counts is the fact that some of them are actually more expensive than some new clothes. Now talking about the real okirika, I mean OKIRIKA, the "bend-down-select", you will agree with me that 80% of the hot bum shorts worn by some cream chicks are actually from these okirika shops. To cut this long episode short, what I can't particularly explain is the fact that any time I pass by these shops, I usually see underwears, like pants, I mean real pants, bras even towels, dangling from their hangers and swaying rhythmically to  the direction of the wind. I can't forget the day a girl stopped by a road side okirika shop, took a bra, and started sizing it with her boobs on the top she was wearing;  wao, this is wonderful, I thought. I'm not condemning these clothes, but my dear ladies, try buying new pants, bras, and other under clothiings as okirika, no matter how much they ooze of that okirika perfume, are not exactly safe an healthy. As 2face would always say, "Nobody holy pass". Do your thing my people, be stylish, even though na okirika, stay classy, but hey, in all of these, remain in good hygiene. Much love......... Prince Ehis.
