BEAUTY ON A BUDGET


One more dose of makeup and she would look far from an African Barbie.
Dark skinned girl with rosy cheek, million dollar Chinese hair and a shoe whose heel can help you climb to the 2nd floor of Holiday Inn Hotel.
Her earrings can chain 5 hard core criminals to be transported to Nsawam Prison.
The extended eye lash is making her blink every second as if she was under a running tap.
She steps out and the little boy who is interested in painting asks “whose graffiti is this?
What a shame the little boy thinks you are a painting, well I don’t agree any less. 
The colour of her lips reminded the school girl of a drawing she colored.
She is the envy of the army officer because her bag can help him pack things needed for a 3 week mission.
WAIT…..
Is that a dress or it looks like a dress? Hmm well let’s settle for it’s a dress.
It’s like one hand of the dress can’t find its bearing so it’s off the dress and as I wondering why the frontage of the dress is like the phone lock pattern of a guy who has a 3rd degree stalker girlfriend, then I realized that the back of the dress is also gone covering only from the waist below to the thigh and the only thing that flashed my mind was maybe she was cutting something and the dress was beneath it so it suffered the consequences of the cutting.
In conclusion the dress is the relationship status of many females on Facebook; “it’s complicated” but a dress that cost not less than the monthly salary of a zoom lion personnel is not to be thrown away I guess.
The dress is clinging to her so much as if that is the one dress that Ministry of Trade and Industry is looking for to export to Haiti but she doesn’t want to give it out.
Her nails will make you wonder if she is responsible for the tribal marks on our fellow brethren from the Northern part of Ghana.
She twists and hops - like a car driving at top speed to a remote village whose road is full of pot holes - in the name of cat- walking.
She gets into her multi-million car and when she passes by you, you might think it’s an ambulance because which other vehicle makes such noise with disturbing music?
If you want the whole world to be in stand still as if they were waiting for a re-run of world war 1, dare scratch her car. “ are you stupid or something (she meant more than stupid), how dare you scratch my car, do you know how much it cost, I bet your father can’t even afford it”.
Oh yeah, he could buy a private jet if he didn’t have a family to take care and tithe to pay.
She never pays her tithe in the name of she is not working and no one pays her.
Ooh, you are surprised at her outburst.
All the work on her body and the effort she put in it, did she rob the bank? No she didn’t but I bet if everything on her is equated to money, she could pay the school fees of a little girl in the village and be she would be celebrated.
The car and all that is from her world savings so as it stands, the account is empty and the human graffiti is also empty, I bet it’s even now.
What needs to be told her?
