Let’s Dress Accordingly…

It’s not about your age, a ring on your finger okanye how expensive the outfit is. It’s about your body or rather how you look in the outfit.

The way some people dress, makes me SMH uncontrollably. If you know u have silver lines on your tummy or your behind please cover up. We all know our worst and best parts so please lets dress accordingly… Sometime back i saw Connie & Shona walking hand in hand wearing shorts and both of them looked hot, on the other hand i have a 17yr old cousin who is not shy at swallowing everything edible but likes to wear skimpy clothes, becoz she says she is still young and is allowed to show dem.. And me being me I always tell her she is showing too much and that if she wants to continue her exposure then she has to look after her body and be in shape but she takes offense.
Which is why I am saying age ain’t nothing but a number when it comes to the way one should dress, if u know your body permits them flaunt it. There is nothing wrong with being a plus size woman but work it sisi work it , you can be big built and in shape. Those outfits that Sgonondo’s galfriend (Dudu) or whoever she is to him, andazi but the person dressing her on those music videos needs to get shot. (I have a feeling utata Arthur came up with that story just so he can launch her to the industry without having to try hard) her being sgonondo’s woman and all, I mean.
As straight as I am, I don’t mind seing Kelly Khumalo, Chomee & even Beyonce in those next to nothing lil numbers they call outfits because they are appetising.. I can watch them move their hips the whole day, no problem.  They have the PHAT bodies for those skimpy outfits. We need to know what suits us and what doesn’t. We have friends and we are friends to other people, if your friend is dressed in something that doesn’t suit her please tell her coz that will make u a true friend. We must stop thinkin that each time a person crititizes the way you are dressed means they are jelous or if they compliment it means they are sucking up or they want you. If you don’t have real friends then a full length mirror should be your best friend.
Then they are some boney women who expose everything from the nipple to the camel toe, yini kanti bafazi? I dont care whether u are rockin the most expensive brand or something from Chinatown… nobody wants to see the marks on the saggy tits that are being exposed, all in the name of a cleavage.
There is a certain journo that has a TENDENCY of turning tops into bube tube dresses..hayi khona sisi.
I have an aunti who is always dissing other family members & neighbours coz of the way they dress. She says just because so & so is married she should dress a certain way. Hehehe which leads to an argument every family gathering.. I personally don’t think there should be a dress code for ‘married women’ if umzimba umhle and your hubby is ok with you showing it then akukho ngxaki. What I have a problem with is imikhaba yethu and love handles in those tight & stomach outs that we think make us look hot. Besides, we should all know how to dress for the occassion.. church, funeral, party, babyshowers, out with hubby/yo gals or when visiting inlaws.
We are all beautiful in our own way so lets embrace that beauty with pride and class, because we are worth it.

Slik

Men you are not off the hook either, nani ninayo imikhaba yo tshwala, silver lines ne love handles so please stay away from mustle tops, those are for the Andile Ncubes,JRs & the Sizwe Dhlomos that are blessed with six packs, otherwise take the SPEEDY way and go baggy. (minus the towel)…lol. Those match sticks u call legs, please hide them, when you see  3/4 pants or shorts run as fast as u can becoz zinabantu bazo. My friend Slikour has the legs for those 3/4 shorts same as Siya Ngwekazi, Rapulana Seiphemo and that Mangi boy from Scandal. Oh and Shona Ferguson, he can walk around in briefs we wont spit but drool..lol (sorry ausi Connie)
Trio

PS. On this article I aint talking about celebs only, i am talking about YOU, yes YOU… you need to look at YOUR self and see if YOU ain’t showing too much.
How much of a true friend are you? Are you one of those that want to always stand out by letting your friends walk into a crowd looking funny so they laugh behind her back or maybe you are the kind of person when a friend tells you,“you aint looking good in that outfit choma” you get mad at them and call them all sorts of names telling them banomona?? Which side do you fall on??

I always prefer taking my own pictures but for this article is was gonna be a mission impossible… imagine asking Andile & Siya to strip coz i want to take pics of their legs and six packs? Their women would kill me dead… LOL

    I still fail to understand why size 40 and up jeans were invented”hides”.

  3. Bee on Thu, 20th May 2010 2:07 am 

    Nyc one Kiki chomza i’ll comment later i just need to sleep for now. Eeuuuw lo mzimba eish mara abantu.

    Leggings are back this winter and trust sandton city peeps to rock opaques with a top”im guilty of this one too”.trust me it looks ok in sandton city until you get to Jhb CBD eNoord.

  5. GA on Thu, 20th May 2010 2:23 am 

    Oh but the last picture has disturbed my spirit terribly…sho!

  6. GA on Thu, 20th May 2010 2:30 am 

    On the topic at hand….amen,amen,amen and amen kiki

    My sister always says im jelous when i tell her she musnt wear some staff. She says i want her to let go of them so i can have them.
    Okay…when i was in high school and she was the only monied one,yes she did have some trendy staff…but i came to varsity, and since then my style is refined, very different from hers…but she still insists i want her clothes which i dont like at all. hai…only my aunt can tell something aint right and she listens.

    Othawise..for some reason most of my friends and i have the same dress sense. Cleavage isnt common in my circle…let alone small shirts that make it difficult to get off chairs and taxi seats.

    PS:…i do howver wear short pants indoors…dont have the courage to step out with them :-( …like evryone would be shocked to see me in anything that exposes the legs outside.

  7. soul sista on Thu, 20th May 2010 2:35 am 

    LOL, let me read I had already memorised what I was going to say to BS if there were no new posts.

  8. soul sista on Thu, 20th May 2010 2:58 am 

    Nice one Kiki.
    My friend calls me rural & too mature coz I always wear some tank tops inside some skimpy tops so that I can tuck them in incase I sit down and the top rides up. This for: protecting my zebras & my very big mkhaba.
    I dont wear mini dresses because I’m too old for them.

    However, I have a friend who stayed abroad for some time & she was skinny then, now she’s a thick madamme & she sill refuses to dress properly, she says she’s got great legs & those are elephant ones. She doesnt listen to me coz i’m way too rural, so i leave her alone.
    For those people who are breastly challenged; you still need a bra for those tits or buy those tits covers or use a band aid to cover them.

  9. Madala on Thu, 20th May 2010 3:43 am

  17. Dladla on Thu, 20th May 2010 8:24 am 

    Fabulous Kiki. I like what you just did,your focus on the “ordinary” kind instead of the Bonangs and so forth.

    I’ve got a feeling something made you write this. I mean, something happened, isn’t it? Talk to me sisi… LOL’

    However, I think we (men and women) should be wise enough to see the difference between an outfit one can wear when going out or at home and the one one can wear when perfoming on stage. By that I mean, I agree with you on that Beyonce-Kelly Khumalo-Chomi note. But, nabo they shouldn’t wear stuff like that in public. Not that they do.

    Also, I fully agree with you when you say friends should tell each other when each one of them enxibe kakubi. BUT, there is a good way of telling and not just say; “tshomi, unxibe kakubi” or “Ayikufaneli lento uyinxibileyo”.

    Our friends tell us, but what hurts most is how they tell us. Consequently, we think they are jealous because they weren’t nice when they told us.

    Otherwise, thank you for a good post Nomkikizelo wam.

  18. Iconic on Thu, 20th May 2010 8:33 am 

    Tjo tjo Kiki nice article bathong, the last picture is very disturbing,she looks like amoeba!

  19. Kiki on Thu, 20th May 2010 8:41 am 

    Thanks guys for the comments.

    One thing i have realised is that its us ordinary people who mess up the dress code more than celebs do.

  20. Groupie on Thu, 20th May 2010 8:45 am 

    Eish hay kodwa the last pic, that woman needs to be arrested ASAP!! Kiki keep them coming gal!

  21. sponono on Thu, 20th May 2010 8:54 am

  22. Whitechick on Thu, 20th May 2010 9:00 am 

    Fabulous article, atleast its winter now, we’l b seeing less scary stripes, n wobbly flesh.. I really dont like printed leggings on anybody especially de tiger spots printed one. Looks like ur going to perform as some animal in theatre… Bdway i didnt know Andila had umzimba omnyama, not tryna b mean but i’m just not into darker species :-) .. *not gonna hide*

  23. Vesa on Thu, 20th May 2010 9:02 am 

    Nice one Kiki!

    @Soul Sista….you and me both hey!! I’m a very self conscious person and don’t like exposing anything at all. I also wear tank tops when I wear those low plunging necklines…especially at work.

    And I have a friend who always insists on looking ridiculous. She’s a bit on the plus size and pear shaped…..and guess what, she likes to wear those tight low cut jeans with tight fitting small tops that don’t even cover her booty. Whenever she has to sit down….everrything is out in the open. We’ve talked about this soo many times I’ve lost hope.

    So if you see me with her, please don’t think I let her out like that so that I can shine alone.

  24. Silent blogga on Thu, 20th May 2010 9:04 am 

    Is Sizwe checking andile out on that pic ?* hides before kiki attacks*

    LOL…@Sponono.

    If there’s one thing I’m guilty of, it’s covering up too much.

  32. soul sista on Thu, 20th May 2010 9:33 am 

    LOL @Lee you really mean Legs of Thunder?
    They do look lovely right? I love them and I think she should show them…

  33. Mamdjidji on Thu, 20th May 2010 9:35 am 

    nice article Kiki ..until people accept their bodies they will not be able to dress to their specific ..there are many big size who still ooze sexiness while everything is covered mara if theres no confidence or self-steem vele they’ll try too hard to get any attention good or bad

  34. chilled sweet lemonade on Thu, 20th May 2010 9:40 am 

    ladies PLEASE spot wearing size 32 skinny jeans when you are a 42!!!!! has anyone seen “mpumi” from rhythm city in her jeans lately…..

  35. chilled sweet lemonade on Thu, 20th May 2010 9:41 am 

    eish, i meant STOP

  36. hayman on Thu, 20th May 2010 9:42 am 

    I want to take a different stand to all of u guys. Mina I dress very conservatively and I love skirts nje coz nothing ever really comes out of a skirt other than my legs which I dont have a problem with so I am super comfortable in skirts thats why u wont see me with low hanging jeans etc.
    I have a friend who used to be very fit an ace of a hockey and she used to wear the shortest of skirts and when she left varsity she stopped playing hockey and doing any form of exercise and she piled the kilos along with a couple of silver stripes and she still wore the same kind of outfits and people were coming to me saying how gross she looks and how I should tell her to stop wearing the stuff and I always used to tell them that as long as she feels comfortable in whatever she is wearing then I am also comfortable with her.
    All I am trying to say is that as black women we always seem to take more care in these sort of things I dont know whether we are very small minded or we are just progerammed to give so much attention to such petty little things that dont make a difference to the way we live our lives. If someone wears something that shows saggy boobs, how does it show the way u guys take ur coffee or the hours you sleep at nite.
    Hayman suka, read a book or sumthing and get sum real knowledge….

  37. soul sista on Thu, 20th May 2010 9:55 am 

    Wow @hayman before I get some real knowledge can you tell me, what’s your take on the last pic?

  38. Lela on Thu, 20th May 2010 9:59 am 

    Hayman ,its fine really!

  39. Gobsmacked on Thu, 20th May 2010 9:59 am 

    Kwaaaaaaaa @ last pic… Isn’t that Lerato from bigbrotherSA fame…. I wouldn’t put that past her!!!!!!!!!!

  40. Monchooza on Thu, 20th May 2010 10:04 am 

    eish i have this friend who likes rocking these colorful and disgusting skinny jeans(that i personally think were made for 13yr olds) and the worse part is that umzala is a size 36 qabanga nje…sies maan my friend (FYI i always tell him those jeans make him look like a popayi) mara he says nginomona because i dont wear the skinny jeans

  41. Beauti on Thu, 20th May 2010 10:11 am 

    @hayman, trust me u wouldnt go anywhere with the girl in the last pic, or any1 who dresses inappropriately.

  42. Pjay on Thu, 20th May 2010 10:21 am 

    Lmao,Sizwe staring at Andile lyk dat! Oh Lungsta…*licks lips*

  43. BuhleFab on Thu, 20th May 2010 10:35 am 

    i rock my size 40 jeans and still look presentable. The trick is to know what works and what doesnt. being a fashion slave is what causes all these ridiculous outfits that people wear. I am big (overweight lol) and i am truly gifted in the breast department but wherenever i show off my cleavage i make sure that i dont show everything and also make sure that the bra i’m wearing lifts and supports properly and becoz of my mkhamba i never ever tuck in i’d rather wear clothing that hides the mkhaba but still make me look good (not clothes that would make me look like a tent).
    and please tights are not for everyone even if you are skinny. U’ll find people who wear tights and they show off inyawo zeskere (not good at all). Its also always good for people to cover their big woobly behinds bcoz it aint nice walking behind someone who is wearing some tight pants which show off the woobly bits on the thighs and bums (cellulite is not cool)

    Lastly if you are going to be wearing sleeveless tops or dresses shave your armpits please it goes for guys as well (roll on and that hair in your armpit never play nice – eeuuw)

  44. Kazisongo on Thu, 20th May 2010 10:36 am 

    I don’t normally comment on articles about fashion because I’m not a fashionista but that girl on the last picture is wrong on so many levels! Its one thing to be comfortable in your own skin but she took it way too far…SMH

  45. BuhleFab on Thu, 20th May 2010 10:39 am 

    haai i still refuse to believe that last pic is for real – i’m sure there’s a plausible explanation for that tjooo scary i tell you….mmhhhh

  46. soul sista on Thu, 20th May 2010 10:49 am 

    @BuhleFab I couldnt have said it better myself, ohhhh that cellulite in white pants…

  47. soul sista on Thu, 20th May 2010 10:54 am 

    @Kazisongo I dont think its about fashion, I’m not a fashionista myself since I dont even jump onto trend wagons but I believe in dressing accordingly just like Kiki said.
    LOL.. what happened to those shiny leggings people loved so dearly last summer? God I really hated those.

  48. Kiki on Thu, 20th May 2010 10:55 am 

    BuhleFab i feel you. Lets shave our armpits bandla,and thank u for pointing it out to the men as well..SHAVE DEM!

  49. Naomi on Thu, 20th May 2010 11:01 am

  50. Uthando on Thu, 20th May 2010 11:07 am 

    But seriously some people aaaahhhh

  51. Kazisongo on Thu, 20th May 2010 11:08 am 

    Amen Buhlefab!Please ladies make sure that the bra fits, if you are not sure about the size go to any of those big stores like Woolies or Edgars and ask to be measured they do it for free

  52. Khami Ndau on Thu, 20th May 2010 11:26 am

  55. meisie on Thu, 20th May 2010 11:42 am 

    If you are a size 36 plus PHULEEEEEZZZZZIE dont were skinny jeans, asseblief tog!I am wondering why they make skinny jeans for plus size women in the first place. :-)

  56. meisie on Thu, 20th May 2010 11:43 am 

    The woman in the last picture needs a serious hiding!

  57. Lehakoe on Thu, 20th May 2010 11:48 am 

    i agree that ppl have to look at what they wear. I am a very bootylicious size 32 and can show off my legs and wear minis. But the thing is, men are disrespectful out there. They say all kinds of comments and even women look at u with side eyes coz u’re showing a little more than they can and u make it luk gud.

    i stopped wearing shorts bcoz of the unwantd attention. Even my bf doesnt want me to wear shorts becoz of all the whistles and sultry looks i’d get. Ayadelela amadoda bo!

    a while back i was wearing them opaque tights and walking down town. The man stared at my behind and said ‘haibo awugcokanga nepanti’. Like WTF??

    so the q is how far do we let other people’s opinions get in the way of me dressing the way i want to? I guess wat i’m tryn to say is that ppl will always have dipuo, whether o size28 or 42.

  58. beewiz on Thu, 20th May 2010 11:52 am 

    Haowa why shouldnt there be size 38 skinny jeans?I rock em and best believe i look hawt tjo.But ja i dont do the whole tight top thing neither coz im one of those people who always says to people usi gcoke uwazi(sp.Mara yal dont hate on big girls,just pick on those who wear nyoko batseba hore be eme ntja.

  59. Kiki on Thu, 20th May 2010 11:54 am

    yhoo hayi naye Andile was show off man..eish is that sixpack for real..hmmm *lick the saliva off my lips*…

  77. Molilo on Thu, 20th May 2010 12:47 pm 

    Eish it is tough to be a size 36+, I always thought I look good in what I wear but after this article need to consult with my friends. I am really scared. Miss A I go to the gym almost every week but I have not lost a kilo in all these years I have been a member.

  78. Vesa on Thu, 20th May 2010 12:51 pm 

    Stomach, love handles, hips,thighs and bums = One package. R800 a session and depending on how quick your body responds you can see the difference after 3 or 4 sessions.
    They always recommend 5 to 8 sessions.

    And you can get a package of 5 session for R5 800. *hides*

  80. pariri on Thu, 20th May 2010 12:58 pm 

    @ Vesa and the stretch marks prices ??

  81. Miss A on Thu, 20th May 2010 1:00 pm 

    Molilo… Myabe u must accept ur Oprah body.. jokes. join Weighless, sumtimes mybe its cos u just maintaining ur weight, u eat the same,oily,greasy foods and u do not lose any weight. mara we can not all be size 28. Haai. even if u a size 36 u can wear skinny jeans as longs as u do not wear short tops or golf shirths, wear nice long tops and cool shoes.

    @ Vesa…thats sounds like a reasonable package!! R5800,shoo all those places (where I have stretchmarks except stomach)so each session they do everyhing?. Ngiyaya!! manje how much is the 1st consultation? must u pay upfront oh it can be per session and also whats the period btwn session 1 and 2,3,4,5? Please do not minf the hundred questions, I called the one in Sandton, the lady was abit cagey, but professional. Says I must come ine for the consultaion.

  82. Teee on Thu, 20th May 2010 1:04 pm 

    Kiki great article and i agree the last pic is HIDEEEEOUS its unacceptable in so many levels BUT here is my take as society we love to judge u r skinny u shud eat, u r big u should loose weight and it goes on and and on HAIMAN LET LIVE AND LET GO! Wat i dnt get is all ds talk tse bo size 36&38 should not wear skinny jeans… There r loads of ladies(me being one of them) that rock them jeans and look absolutely way better than bo size30. So all m saying is lets stop ds obsession of sizes and focus on wearing wat is suitabke for ur body irrispective of the size if u size 40 and hot in them jeans do it. Its all about finding wats suitable for ur body.

  83. Lu on Thu, 20th May 2010 1:18 pm 

    Last pic, Tjo!
    Laughing chick in blue dress looks like CC

  84. Kiki on Thu, 20th May 2010 1:24 pm 

    Molilo,u dont have to be a size 30 or 26 to look good. You can be a size 40 and be fabulous by dressing well. Knowing ones body is the key,what works for u and wat doesnt. You can ask ur friends yes but if u dont trust them then rather ask ur male friends instead. That time i met you u looked great,i can tell you go to gym,it shows becoz u are in shape.

  85. Molilo on Thu, 20th May 2010 1:27 pm 

    LOL they say round is a shape Kiki, Miss A I will rather keep my Oprah body than go the weighless route.

  86. Miss A on Thu, 20th May 2010 1:33 pm 

    molilo.. so problem solved. as long as u healthy its fine. and know what looks good and does’nt. few people can pull off everything under the sun. yes round is a shape.

  88. Sslave on Thu, 20th May 2010 1:53 pm 

    This morning I had put on these ¾ skinny pants with half boots and my man said “baby that combination is hideous”. That didn’t sit well with me but ja I had to replace the pants with long skinny pants and he said “ you now look better than Beyonce”. It is really important to have people who will be frank with you and not let you leave the house looking like hell

  91. Cinnabon on Thu, 20th May 2010 3:19 pm 

    @Vesa…keep hiding, bcoz R5800 is just too much…surely there must be some old wives remedy for stretcch marks…like Avo & E.V.O.O or something…

  92. Molilo on Thu, 20th May 2010 3:29 pm 

    Mama ka Gundi a friend says you must buy a roller for mkhaba, I do not know what is a roller ne

  93. Miss A on Thu, 20th May 2010 3:37 pm 

    @ cinnabon good luck. tried and tested. not worked,would rather fork out the R5800 and be set for life.

  94. Cinnabon on Thu, 20th May 2010 3:58 pm 

    @Miss A…what did you try…please do share…it might work for me…bcoz the R5800 is not even an option right now…I’m already struggling with the R4680 for laser hair-removal…eish!

  95. Silent blogga on Thu, 20th May 2010 4:11 pm 

    I am actually willing to fock out that R5,800, because there one’s on the legs are a nitemare, especially ka summer, you cant wear shorts or skirts, and going to the beach is a nitemare, worst thing is I am a size 30. So i have already made an appointment for a consultation. Anything to get rid of them

  96. Freshie on Thu, 20th May 2010 4:19 pm 

    thanx 4 da nice article, shuu safa’amaceleb…

    Blessed is that innovtive mind who created clothes. I wonder what the world would have been like without them.

    I just cant imagine those frog/teddy-bear figures eNoord.

    Haai ke, im one of those blessed ngesimo. An hour glass beautiful figure without ukhabazela (tummy). Kodwa ngihlushwa ama sjambok (silver) stripes & orange peel skin. So i do look very good in those piece of material called clothes and wouldnt dare be seen in mini’s

  97. Luluwise on Thu, 20th May 2010 4:31 pm 

    Nice one Kiks, spot on. By all means buy the outfit ladies, but when you get home put in on again and take a looong hard look from all angles and if it don’t sit right, by all means return it, that’s what teh return policy written at the back of the slip is for. Having said that, it PAINS me when I read or hear comments about figures especially when people are dissing and making fun of scissor legs, frog figures,shwapas etc. I happen to have a phsyique exactly like Bon*ngs, and it stings everytime she is made fun of because it reminds me that society believes that I’m a lacking or something is wrong with me. I usually joke that I was not there when my parents laid together, so I can’t be blamed for it but it guts at my self esteem and make me somewhat uncomfortable in public. At times I feel like I’ve made peace with it and hide my body as much as I can, sometimes I say “to hell with ur opinions” and carry on, but it’s a struggle.

  98. soul sista on Thu, 20th May 2010 4:42 pm 

    Oooh, I’ve learnt so much. I’m so going to throw away these oils that they claim can remove zebras but cant. 5800, i’ll have to raise funds for it.

    I think Slim, average, huge, it doesnt matter. All we need to do is look presentable (I dont mean formal)

  99. Molilo on Thu, 20th May 2010 4:48 pm 

    Eish mara the last pic is so wrong weitsi, kwa kwa kwa

  100. Vesa on Thu, 20th May 2010 4:51 pm 

    @ Cinnabon, trust me….I also tried all things that claimed to reduce the appearance for years, and they did nothing for me. Even ordered stuff from overseas on the internet….and I was patient and hopeful….ko kae???
    Then I learned about the laser, researched it..and I also had a problem with the amount of money…but I was tired of seeing my body riddled with these things.One morning I woke up, made an appointment and started with the sessions. And I’m grateful I decided to do that.

  101. Bee on Thu, 20th May 2010 4:57 pm 

    @mamakaGundi i suggest u drink hot water twice/trice a day(read,tried it and worked) and ofcouse eat veges for super, (no papa neArchar neBisto) skin off the meat and roast/cook it instead of fry it. It works like a charm. Mna ke who joined the gym as well um growin a six pack.

  102. Bee on Thu, 20th May 2010 5:07 pm 

    Kodwa kwiFashion hayi khona i just dont know um a skinny jeans typa chick, long vests and hoodies, locks so u can imagine. I do howeva look clean. One thing i don know how to get right thou is a bra size. Help!

  103. soul sista on Thu, 20th May 2010 5:48 pm 

    LOL Bee i think the 1st thing is to know your waist size & then cups.
    lets say you wear size 34 and you have the smallest breasts: you will be a size 34 AA/A, if they are bigger still 34 but B/C cups…. and if you gifted on that dept still buy 34 but D cups.

    Dont go for 40D because you have D cups & dont go for 34A if your waist is a size 38 but you are breastly challenged with A/AA cups.

    I hope I make sense.

  104. Matric on Thu, 20th May 2010 6:02 pm 

    THe Last Pic Bathong!!! Who in their right state of mind would dress like that??? Eeeuuuuw she must have been high on something that lady…….nice one Kiki :-)

  105. Bee on Thu, 20th May 2010 7:14 pm 

    Thanx Soulsister i’ll it but hey um bad when it comes to that lyk really bad. My breasts are average though theres some C somewher i don know wheather 34C or 33C

  106. Bee on Thu, 20th May 2010 7:16 pm 

    Eish i meant i’ll try.

  107. Nthoentle on Thu, 20th May 2010 7:44 pm 

    Mama ka Gundi-exercise is the only way hey. It works for weight,ur skin,ur mood,sleeping patterns, and over-all well being. Only way to lose mkhaba is running and or sit-up’s(or stomach exercises)! No other way.
    Molilo u r probably eating too much,reduce portions,I’m also having same problem as u,I’m toned everywher and I love my body but just wanna get back to my old body be a bit smaller,even thinking of Sureslim. Need to shrink my stomach.

    Nice article @Nonkawu! Hai women need to know how to dress man sis! If u r a porn star go work at Teazers,lea re shishimisha man! If u got it,flauny it by all means by within good taste as well please.

  108. soul sista on Thu, 20th May 2010 7:52 pm 

    Lol Bee you are so clueless *dead*
    Dont worry about the 34/33 as long as you know your clothes size its ok, if you wear size 32 tops then your bra will be 32C

  109. Lindakie on Thu, 20th May 2010 8:27 pm 

    Nyc article Kiki. Keep it up gal.

  110. Bee on Thu, 20th May 2010 9:05 pm 

    Ok Soulsister if its that so then its easy. I wear size 34 then my bra size will be 34C coz i know thez C somewher coz my partner always say somethg like that i hope kuzube engathethi ngeyakhe.

  111. Lela on Thu, 20th May 2010 9:28 pm

  116. soul sista on Fri, 21st May 2010 2:45 am 

    I dont believe this hot water theory, I drink nothing but hot water even in summer but my mkhabisto is just out of this world, but again different strokes… i guess

  117. Kiki on Fri, 21st May 2010 6:50 am 

    Lol @ Soul Sista sayin her mkhaba is out of this world. *dead*

    I think Nthoentle is rite, let’s EXERCISE not an easy thing to do coz we are always on the GO.Mine is better now coz I jog SOMEtimes. Tjo it used to be bad after I had my baby and worse I couldn’t tie it the traditional way coz I had a caecerian… I have a positive mind and I know one day I will get my flat tummy back..lol

  118. DEE078 on Fri, 21st May 2010 1:00 pm 

    Look its lindakie lol (if u read the khanyi mabau article u will understand) hahahaha anywho The last pic as revolting as it is, i just wonder if she were to face this side how will she look.People be like me, when im going out with my friends i tell them if they look Snaks or not, if i have to borrow them my clothes then so be it….eish the last pic is stuck in my mind( im going to have a bad day lol)PS DEE u stole my name what happened to ur imagination

  119. Mands on Fri, 21st May 2010 2:09 pm 

    I have a cousin with a se..ri..ous problem.The minute she sees me in my outfit(lookin hot)& we r about 2 leave the house, she’ll say, “no ways I cant go out with u lookin this hot,people will make fun me”.
    Trust me,she’s also lookin gud but its just that she wants 2 look hotter than me. Mayb she wants 2go out with me looking awful so all eyes will b on her.I wish she’d stop that

  120. Mands on Fri, 21st May 2010 2:45 pm 

    I think a big size wearing small size = denial, just like the euw last pic. Look @ Gil Scott, she’s big, very hot& knows what suits her. She’s even hotter than some skinny women.
    There’s this size 40 woman who likes wearing stomach out tops &leggings.Leggings should b worn with long tops covering impundu &not with mini tops

  121. Nqobile on Fri, 21st May 2010 3:28 pm
