I attract strange taxi drivers

Date: Sunday September 16, 2007.
Time: 7:30-8:30pm

I called a local cab company to take me to a friend's house. I was wearing my favourite perfume. First of all, di car did well macheted but who am I to judge, I was the one who didn't have my own ride. Five minutes into our journey the driver informs me that he "love mi cologne". I explained the difference between perfume and cologne... to no avail. He starts an awkward conversation centred around his dislike of silent passengers. "Hmmm".

Driver: Cyaan tek a drive wid people and dem nah seh nutten. What's your name?
Me: *foolishly thinking he's normal* La-Shaun
Driver: La-Shaun, that's unusual. Mi love yuh cologne still, which cologne dat?
Me: The perfume is Angel by Thierry Mugler. Don't buy it if you see it for less than 5 grand, you won't get the right thing
Driver: Ohh, so yuh buy it?
Me: It was a gift
Driver: It come from farrin?
Me: Yes it did
Driver: Are you a maddle?
Me: Umm, no.

... 10 minutes later

Driver: So how mi a go get fi sumell yuh cologne when yuh come outta di car?
Me: Umm, I really couldn't tell you
Driver: Yuh a go lef yuh blouse inna di car or supm?
Me: *jaw drops* I can't believe you thought it was ok to say that to me
Driver: Why yuh seh so? Mi neva mean it in a rude way
Me: Right
Driver: Is not like mi ask fi yuh phone number
Me: *not entertaining any further argument*

We get to my destination FINALLY!!

Driver: So is this home or I jus pick you up from yuh house?
Me: *question completely disregarded*
Driver: Yuh have a regular driver?
Me: No, I prefer to call and whoever comes comes
Driver: Ok. Bye La-Shaun
Me: Goodbye

Life.

Being a TWG (Third World Girl), especially a currently unemployed one, means that I have to seek out affordable ways to ward off the "crusty" look. Almost every employed, style-conscious TWG I know has a credit card and a US mailing address so she can shop online. One of the first places I always recommend is the EyesLipsFace (E.L.F.) web site. Everything is US$1. Every single item. I use their stuff and while it's not Chanel quality, E.L.F. products are certainly worth adding to your makeup kit.

Rihanna is my hair idol!

This girl is not afraid to take chances. I don't agree with critics who think her styles are too severe, she has the features to carry them off. Here are a few of my favourites:

Welcome!

This is my second posting. I'll admit that this blog was created this morning to embarrass a friend of mine when he made some VERY incriminating statements. lol!

I'm a writer at heart. I've been blogging for a while, mostly via email. Now that this has become mainstream and I can freely impose my views on everyone, I decided to take it to the web. Hope you enjoy it and remember that you can leave comments re: each post.

It's my money

It's no secret that New Kingston is known to attract the flesh trade after hours. But it's sometimes shocking to see who enjoys the services being peddled.
