H olla Hey Insyder, Am Willy.*Wink*wink* to all yah from tha insyder. It has been a long dream for me to be able to write this and send some art to you guyz. Doing this with my bic pen which can never be forgotten in my shopping list ya back to school and feeling happy holding it throughout the term. I’m a superholic of your teeniz mag. ‘The Insyder” which I do buy often coz it rocks so much. It has been good of you guyz kuweza kupenya gates zote za hae skul and the coolest places in the world to just inform the teeniez world/ generation which will live long. I hope that this will be my best opportunity to what I have got deep within my heart for the world coz enyewe this mag ikona ma psyk zingine kali sana anytym one reads it. Sometimes I even sacrifice my prep ili niguzie the mag but i end up reading yote coz ni kama glue and it’s so addictive and swit. So it is a prayer from me that this would be a chance to check out and to continue to be encouraged to continue sending my art and swagged photo’s to your magazine even if it’s the first tym for sure you are the teeniez voice. I hope to here from you very soon It would be my pleasure to chat with you.

Why is ‘bra’ single and ‘panties’ plural? If a 911 operator has a heart attack, who does he/she call? Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground? If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing? Once you’re in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity? How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

Why do people press harder on a remote control when they know the batteries are flat? Why does someone believe you when you say that there are four billion stars but check when you say the paint is wet? Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, “I think I’ll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?” Why does your Obstetrician, Gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway? If quizzes are quizzical, then tests are… Does the queen bee have a king? If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from ? If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons ? Who was the first person to say, “See that chicken there... I’m gonna eat the next thing that comes outta it’s bum.” Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster? Do butterflies make butter?

Fashion Fads
it’s in, it’s not, it’s now!
SHIRT AROUND WAIST
The 90’s shirt-tied-around-waist craze is back and emerging as one of the hottest fads. The revamped old school trend is becoming a street style favorite with some of the dopest trendsetters. Kanye and Rihanna are huge fans of it, spotted sporting the shirt-tied-around-waist in several different ways! Check out their photoz and rock this look if it fits your style. Do not play around with this look though; you could end up looking shady!
BOAT SHOES
Boat shoes are very versatile and can be paired with a variety of bottoms. There are the more common khakis or chinos combination which works but are plain boring. Depending on the occasion, they could be worn with anything from corduroy trousers to linen shorts, dungarees to cargo Capri pants, denim shorts to skinny jeans. Whatever you choose, there are two fundamental rules; never wear them with socks or any trouser whose length goes beyond the ankle. Secondly, never wear trousers or shorts of a darker color than your boat shoes. Most conventional boat shoes come in chocolate, sandy or coffee hues. Go all out with these shoes, keeping these rules in mind.
CUSTOM SHIRTS
These shirts are the hottest thing right now with the leading ones being VAZZI and I AM A NAIROBIAN, MWANAUME NI EFFORT. Mavazi Handprint and EPIC NATION. Peeps y’all need to get these T’s. They complete your look with any bottoms you may fancy. Since not every person has them, when you get yours, flaunt it and make everyone else wish they were you.
SKINNY SHORTS
News has it that these shorts are trendy and are a good look for guys. We will have you know that not all that checks in fashion wise is cool. However, we do understand that there are peeps who find them very fashionable, and are convinced that when they wear them, their legs look bigger than they really are. SMH!
GOTH LOOK from the an entire lifestyle
SNAP BACKS
This accessory for guyz gives them all the swag they need for the day. With a dope brand like YMCMB or our very own OCTOPIZZO, you will automatically kill that look and peeps around you will know that you are with it! However, if you are not a hip hop head, please do not wear a snap back with Sahara boots, IT’S A SIN!

AFRICAN PRINT CLAD
Gone are the days when a leso or kikoy would be a mother’s best look. African designers have made this fabric cool and fashionable. Little barbie skirts made from the leso fabric are most definitely a look to go for. You could also do kanga pants for dudes and high waist shorts for chics. Events like Blankets and Wine and Kikoy Culture have really come a long way in making this fabric cool. Let’s all embrace our culture and go all out with the African Prints.

Heels
Heels have always been in! Not only do higher heels add height, they cause the calves to flex, giving the legs a fit and leaner look. They come in different forms, standard pumps, wedges and kitten heels. Whichever type of heel you choose to wear, make sure they are the right fit, not too big or too small. Rock them any day, they are very stylish.

Funky Sneaks
Sneakers for chics are a very comfy way to spend the day. Pair them up with shorts like our model and head out for a fun afternoon with your peeps. One can never go wrong with sneaks so long as they are not boot leg. Lol!

Nicki’s Outrageous Fashion
Nicki Minaj has proven herself to be the queen of outrageous, dynamic, and fearless fashion. Her extreme outfits and gravity-defying wigs have snatched the attention of many. In fact, the singer is so in touch with fashion she raps about Anna Wintour and Oscar de la Renta in her song ‘Come on a Cone.’ She has also been referred to as the “black Lady Gaga” because of her eccentric style. In 2010 we witnessed her Barbie-inspired looks, colorful wigs, & skintight leotards. But, who’s to thank for Nicki’s outrageous style? According to Nicki, it’s Mr. Kanye West! …though some may beg to differ. Check out our picks of her most outrageous

and fantastically twisted fashion statements. Get ready to be astonished by clashing colors, dyed hair, and pompom balls!
How Nicki Got It In!!!!
Noted for her curvaceous figure, Onika Tanya Maraj aka Nicki Minaj took the airwaves by storm and is doing a great job in maintaining her reign. She holds the title of being the first mami to have seven singles on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time, and her seventh single, “Super Bass” has since been certified quadruple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
www.theinsyder.com

2009
For a chic whose dad was a drunk who once tried to kill her mother by setting the house on fire, Nicki has come a long way in her musical career. Her boyfriend leaving her and saying that she will amount to nothing did not kill her determination to make it in this industry. After trying out different career options, she joined a crew called ‘HOODSTARS’ as a rapper. They were able to record the entrance track for Victoria of the WWE titled ‘DON’T MESS WITH’. Well, let’s just say that it wasn’t a big enough achievement for Nicki as she left the crew right after. She uploaded her songs on Myspace and sent a few to big people in the music industry, such as Dirty Money
Entertainment. Her rapping career changed dramatically when Lil Wayne discovered her on a staircase. She was busy rhyming to a beat on what they used to call boom box in the old days. Her flow was off the chain and Weezy was impressed. After signing her, her first appearance was in the video ‘BedRock’. Her amazing body got guys wishing they were with her and chics wishing they were her. Hold Up!!! Chic did not look that fierce all along. When Weezy introduced her to Birdman, he thought that she had the flow and the rhyms but did not have the look to go with it. So he paid for all the goodies that this mami carries
with her. We guessing you know what we mean when we talking about goodies. Check out the before and after photoz. Hate it or love it, this fierce chic is going places and her body is very well following suit. If you love her music, kindly note that you do not have to follow her sense of fashion, unless it’s Halloween of course, which is rarely celebrated in Kenya. Her music continues to hit our airwaves by storm, keep the Super Bass on!!!

t has been a really long term of these cat and mouse games that you put me through with all your in school drama. This time I’m going to keep an eye on you all through till you get back to the system. Skulz are finally out! Most of you have been complaining about the ‘Ongeri 16 week term rule’ for a long time now but everything that has a beginning, most definitely has an end. With all that closing skul excitement, I expected to see you guyz go overboard but then why would the stuff you do affect the public interests?
First, and this goes out to all of you Nairobi Day school cats, who flock the streets in town during closing day season to get new catches on shaggzmodo mamas who are just tharste (thirsty) to be hit on by dudes from schools with solid names out there. I get so upset when I have to make ducking pointers when I walk along aka Tom Mboya Street just because ten guyz from Jahmu, Parkie or AQ are Busy vybing a chille from Muthetheni, Funyula or Butula Gee. SMH! Who does that guyz? I know you think you’ve got game and all, but then could you just take it off our streets please? Secondly, and this one really pisses everyone
off, is the way you flock malls over the weekend. Who said malls are hangout joints? FYI a mall is a huge building with shops where people go for shopping. It’s not a place where teens go to hangout and crowd without carrying out any shopping activities. Psst!Buying a 500ml bottle of mountain dew or any other soda is not shopping so please don’t , and I repeat.... Do Not justify yourselves with that for when I find you, I will lock you up and you won’t escape for I’m the sniper and (whisper) I’m anonymous!
Tushow vile unafeel by filling in the BELIEVE CARD attached and sending it to us on: I believe in Africa P.O. Box 51634-00200 Nairobi Hala! And we will reward 10 peeps every month by printing their reasons in your favourite mag, The Insyder and hooking them up with an awesome Coca-Cola goodie bag!

STREET STYLE
THE SUN IS OUT!!!!!
If you’re not daring enough to go for the Gucci look, consider a pair of colour block heels. They will instantly update any outfit and you’d be surprised how many things they go with.
We all know colour blocking is huge this season. All the celebrities are rocking the look and you can’t walk down the street without bumping into a number of guys rocking it too. It being hot this back to school, we chose to bring fashion to you through Rihana’s dare devil swag. If you’re daring enough, then these summer looks are perfect for you. For the more self conscious, we’ve thrown in some outfits for you too!
Colored pants give your outfit that extra edge. They transform what would have been boring into fabulous. Harem pants and shorts are really good for this weather since they are light and comfy. You can never have enough shorts. Not in this weather. Ideal for a relaxing day with friends or when you’re simply kicking back in the house or estate. 26

lubs are no longer STRICTLY for the over 18. The rules have changed especially for teenage girls. It’s not really surprising considering how fast us teens are maturing. Telling the difference between a 15 year old and an adult, in their late teens, is getting harder and harder. The boys definitely have a harder time getting passed the bouncers than girls, no one wants a club full of guys, SMH! So they learn, early in their life, that 200baab can get you a long way! And in this case, can land you a spot in an over age party.

HOW? Some guys ask their parents for permission to go out. No means spending the night in while yes is HALELUJIAH time to jam the night away! Unfortunately, not all parents believe in their children going out for a night on the town, so this is when the hustle comes in! Ever heard of these classic statements? ‘’I’m sleeping over at my friends house’’ or guys staying up till everyone in the house is dead asleep, so guys can sneak out. In any club you go to, you can’t kosa someone who has snuck out of the house. Ok, you’re out of the house but how are you getting there? From catching a jav to begging the taxi guy whose heading into town to give you a lift or at least waver the cab fare by half! If worse comes to worst, you settle for a bike ride in the chilling cold, anything to get you there right? All this in the hope that you 30

will get into the club though there’s an 80% chance that you won’t. Half of the party can be found in the parking lot, not the safest situation to be in though. After all that hustle, you begin anticipating the journey back home. Now let’s not even get started on that…..
WHEN? Fridays and Saturdays are the days 90% of under-age teens go out. Thank God! Our generation isn’t completely lost… A minimum of teens go raving on regular weekdays. Haha, guys we shouldn’t over do it! Yani, it’s Monday and there’s some 15yr old out there looking for plot to go to Westie? Dude, it’s never that serious!
WHY? Everyone has their own reason. Some want to get smashed while some guys want to meet hot chics. A percentage of teens just want to
www.theinsyder.com
punish or piss off their parents by sneaking out and doing the things we know make their skin crawl. But above all, the one that takes the cake is someone who just wants to have fun out with their friends. One who is genuinely going there for the crazy music and the feeling of freedom? Freedom to make their own decisions. Am I going to get drunk and face the parents behind the door? Am I going to hook up with this random person and catch some freaky diseases? Or am I going to go out, have the time of my life, so far, with my friends and get back home safe and with no regrets? Whatever the reason, no underage teen should be out raving. It looks fun and cool but the dangers are there too. Be smart, wait for your time to come, when your folks say NO! Listen to them. They know where they are coming from!
MARK YOUR CALENDARS
ITS GONNA BE EPIC!

Jahmu’s game has been questioned over the years…..Rumor has it, there isn’t a single girl school that they have been fully tied to for longer than a few months. In light of this, we present a list of their conquests! What you decide after that is totally up to you….. Ngara girls-It’s always been a complex
history. Like a bad marriage where the spouse is always cheating. It’s either one or the other, but both can never fully pledge an allegiance to the other without looking for a ka mpango wa kando ;-)
Truth probability 8/10
Pangoe- Yeah, you best believe it! This
fling was however from early in the day kabla they were put on lockdown. Since the girls were confined to what could be termed as their version of Guantanamo Bay, their romance has been said to dwindle over the years.
Parky Arya- Hhhmmmmm…….. 8-0
that one is kiasi farfetched but who’s to say these boys don’t have enough game to rope an Arya honie? It has been suspected for a while now but is yet to be fully proven!
Truth probability 2/10
Braeside- Really guy? As in
seriously…………shucks, I don’t even know what to say to that one! Are you for real? Like seriously? Braeside? You could have had more luck with Bush Gee than with those honies! Warrrr?

Truth probability 5/10
Huruma (hugzville/htown)-
These guys are just too close for comfort. They can’t seem to get enough of each other. Check into any funkie where these two suspects are present and trust me, you’ll find them together. They are almost joined at the hip! They are simply made for each other but too dumb to admit it! Oh yeah, not forgetting that Jahmu, the player presidents, can’t just settle down for one fish in this great ocean that is Hae Skool!

Hi Ben,
transfer, try sitting your folks down and explaining to them how you feel. Then stop and listen to why they want to transfer you to a new school. Truth be told, your folks will always have your back despite whatever you might think would freak them out. So before you take any drastic measurescase in point- running away from home…… how about you just try and sort things out in the grown up manner you would like them to take you in. Transferring is not the end of the world. You might be shocked to find that you like it in your new school. All the best Ben.

It’s been one short but fun holiday season. I was kinda looking forward to the school term, you know, meeting up with all my pals and telling everyone what an awesome time I had….. however my folks want me to transfer to some stuck up private school in the middle of nowhere!

Photography is an art and for Kevin Kemama, a passion of his. His line of work has granted him the opportunity to work with many different people. This constant interaction with people has given him some insight into fashion today which he shares with you…..
K
evin Kemama is an ambitious, hardworking and fun loving guy. I’m what the ladies might term as a “bad-boy” but really I’m a humble and down to earth person. I want to make a difference in this country, and make my money when I am still a young guy. I like to be my own boss. I am currently at KeMU studying computer science. I am also the current Mr. KeMU. I also run my own Photography and Productions Company known as Kevin Kemama Photography. My biggest achievement this far was when I won the Mr. KeMU title. The second was when I got my first camera – I saved up for a long time for it. 34

My career is very rewarding. I get to meet important people and socialize with the most elite. There are many benefits that come with what I do. My style is Classy and Sophisticated. Fashion to me is an expression of someone’s personality – a way of expressing yourself. The biggest fashion disaster I’ve ever seen is guys wearing tight jeans, hipsters, or baggy pants with loafers and white socks. It annoys me. My iconic fashion celebrity is Kanye West because he isn’t afraid to explore the set trends. Also his smart casual choices are on point. I think teens keep up with trends faster these days but sometimes they just don’t know when to let go of old
ones or match them to their own unique personalities or body shape. Mohawks are so overdone! I’m sure Mr. T. must be feeling very irrelevant right now. A trend that is clearly isn’t going away any time soon is Snap Backs. I remember back when I was in high school, G-unit used to wear them. They never get old. My final word to teens is that they shouldn’t try too hard to impress the people around you, fashion isn’t all about the clothes, it’s about grooming – your hair, shoes, the way you carry yourself, accessories. Don’t overdo anything, keep it simple and suave, and most importantly, make your style unique to you.

Cancer
(JUNE 22 - JULY 23) Like Geminis, you too may feel internalized. You won’t be able to settle down or relax. Instead a rather frantic pace may occur. You could feel constantly distracted and unable to think coherently. Something will be learned during the next three Months. Let’s wait and see what it is, if you can remember.
Leo
(July 21-Aug. 22) Values, virtues and vices will be paramount for three Months. Intellectual, spiritual and material worth will be pondered, planned for, eliminated, and or negotiated with others. Emotional values, too. You’ll be very concerned with professional affairs and the financial aspects of all interactions -- assessing, evaluating, and resolving that change must indeed emerge.
Gemini
(May 23-June 20) Detailed events from the past may be your constant companions with the present feeling rather unreal. Something past is definitely affecting and influencing your present. Seek the link and then provide it time and space to dissolve.
Taurus
(April 21-May 21) For the next three Months your task is primarily to focus on self; your needs, comforts, creativity, mind, amusements, play, fairness, games, and anything you consider agile. Try not to have any sort of function except self, playfulness, and the spirit of freedom.
Aries (March 21-April 20) Your daily life, both personal and academic, 36

plus all types of communication, inner and outer, could make a run for the hills in the next three Months. You will have to work harder on details. Or forget them. And work harder on making contact. Or not. You know what’s best.
zation will be reviewed so that you can begin to make plans for change and expansion within your professional life. Don’t tangle up communications. Be clear and precise and detailed and kind.
Virgo
Capricorn
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You mind, curious, unable to be satisfied, seeking new knowledge and information springs into full speed ahead on so many subjects that you’ll be mentally awhirl for awhile without ceasing. Make sure to share with siblings all thoughts and feelings, even if they’re difficult. Travel appears over and over. Focus on meaningful interactions only.
(Dec. 21-Jan. 20) Eager for new knowledge, any study undertaken during Mercury retro will allow the parts of your life to finally fit together. The philosophy of education from an esoteric point of view is most likely a good fit for you at this time since most of the planets are hovering in your house of higher education.
Libra
Aquarius
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22) The usual two-sided situation will occur. You’ll be solitary and quiet, keeping everything to yourself almost to the point of hiding away. All the while you’ll be very aware of hidden, inner, and subtle levels. Don’t worry, no one else can see these parts of yourself. Concern for your spiritual life will manifest.
Scorpio
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Some sort of security is what you want now and it’s through resources and money. You might buy things for your relationship(s). Make sure they want and need whatever you choose. No one’s needs are met through possessions. A life balancing will soon occur.
Sagittarius
(Jan. 21-Feb. 18) An interest in a study of your family origins could become an interest to follow. Begin with family elders asking what their experiences were long ago. Tape their answers, ask for pictures, and create a family biography. Should any childhood issues arise that create discomfort, know that you (and all of us) made contracts of experience prior to our birth.
Pisces
(Feb. 18-March 20) You will clarify to friends exactly how you feel and what you need. It’s possible that due to the retrograde no one will hear you. Yet you must continue and try to communicate needs before it’s too late for everyone. You need another’s conscious response to your ideas and statements. Clarification will require negotiations.
(Nov. 22-Dec. 20) Whatever activities you perform and pursue in terms of how you express yourself in the greater world and how you serve your civiliwww.theinsyder.com SEPTEMBER 2 0 1 2

keeps interrupting grown ups like that as they speak......you think the chille would call if she doesn’t want us to go to her paaaray?

ociety has made the world we live in today more cut throat and difficult than ever before. So much so that if you can’t live up to the set standards that society has set up, you end up being an outsider. That said, the smarter peeps in society have adapted to the cut throat society and made themselves fit in without raising a brow. How? It’s simple, you ball by association. Now don’t get me wrong, having a balling friend that you constantly hang out with is very different from posing to be a baler. I know you’re wondering what all this nonsense has to do with anything and I will tell you. Better yet, I will narrate it to you! It was a beautifully sunny and cloudless day….. (Insert melodramatic tune here) the birds were singing and little Messi wannabe’s were awkwardly kicking a ball around in the hope that they could show off their prowess to the hotties who had just closed school! I was bored to death so I got together with some of my boys looking all swaged up, cruising in my pimped out Chrysler 300C and headed to junkie for a bite before hitting IMAX for that to die for
Talk about the best cake ever! Yummmm!
S R E L L A B E B WE
Swagged out!
3D movie experience. We had our day all planned out until we got to Junkie of course. So we check into KFC and order 3 large buckets of chicken and drinks. While seated, I am attracted to one side of the place by a bunch of heckling teens. They were laughing so loudly, and shouting so much, it was clear they were just begging for everyone’s attention. I watched a waiter approach the table and walk away after one of the teens told him they had already ordered! “At least they bought something”, I remember thinking to myself. How shocked was I to see these teens reach into a back pack when they thought nobody could see them and each pull out a soda! 8-O That was literally my expression, to make things worse, these peeps were on that same table for a good three hours probably tweeting and posting how much fun they are having at KFC! Now initially, I would have hated on these peeps, calling them cheap and stuff though they are still posers in my books! However, even these peeps are classier than most because at least they took home the menu (slap on face)…..So after finishing
! n o ti a i c o s s a by
those scrumptious pieces of chicken with my boys we headed out….next stop IMAX… Being the classy peeps that we are, we had reserved our seats so we walked right up to the ticketteer and payed for our tickets. After all that food, it’s only natural that I’d need to visit the little boys room and guess who I bump into right outside the door….. the noisy boys from KFC! They were busy pleading with a ticketteer to let them take a twinkle. Being the cool guy that I am, I ask him to let them in using my ticket….. So I’m chilling with my boys at the lounge area just waiting to go into the movie with my boys when these peeps come and sit next to us. They are shouting about how excited they are about the movie but get this…. When everyone is told to get in cue, I swear those boys ran like they had stolen something…. That said, I really don’t get why they felt the need to pose as what they aint! Instead of wasting all your money, how about next time you buy afew good movies from your local movie vendor and chill out with your pals at home! Ya’ll need to stay on your lane and leave the serious pimpin to me and my boys coz that’s how we roll!

confused in love
TEENS WAR W hile everyone is busy whining about the length of skirts and pointing that judging finger on drugs sex and money, teens are literally loosing it. Forget the skirts, forget alcohol and pleaaaaaeeeeeeese forget the nonsense about the Mock exam monster! These guys have taken anger to a whole new level! Recently, there has been a surge of internet videos (some people claim are staged) which show teens getting into pre-organized fights! SMH The most shocking thing is that, someone would record these acts of violence, and post them on the net. Is it that teens are getting off on this violence. How do these bouts start? Say what?.........the insults You’re chilling with your boys and you head to the canteen to buy a snack. While at the canteen, someone cuts you in line and the resulting outcome is an abusive statement! Not wanting to seem like the lesser guy or girl in some instances, you respond with a coy statement. In the span of under a minute, the both of you have an all out word war going. Next thing is the both of you are standing so close your noses are literally touching and what happens next is history……A few minutes later, the both of you are seated in the principal’s office one nursing a bleeding broken nose while the other, hopefully you,

seats there looking triumphant despite the fact that you are a shoe in for suspension! Bad blood……..beef? So following the scenario above….the both of you feel that you still have a score to settle and the other guy really wants to prove that he can whoop you’re a#$! However, if you do it during suspension, you won’t have the crowd you need to pump up your ego so you wait until your back in school and throw in the challenge. In a matter of seconds in between ununderstandable growling and snarling, a venue and a time is selected and the whole school can’t wait for school to be out! The spot is always within walking distance….the parking lot of a nearby mall, an incomplete building, an open field, someone’s home when the parents are out etc. Phones out and action, the tumble begins… Go Get’em……peer pressure All your friends are there, cheering fight, fight, fight! You’re desperately waiting for one of your pals to hold you back and be the voice of reason but nothing! You feel sorry for the little dweeb because you know for shizzle your gonna do him worse than the last beating you gave him. As your basking in al your glory, you are met with a vicious right hook….the crowd goes wild because now for sure, it’s on! It’s only been a minute and the crowd is drowning you in all their cheering and jeering! You want to stop but the crowd won’t let
you. The thought of you being the wimp that got beat up on You Tube makes you punch harder and harder. You feel someone pulling on you and you turn around and shove them aside, and you continue to mercilessly pummel the sucker who took that first swing, now comfortably tucked beneath you as you deliver blow after blow. The crowd goes silent and now more hands are tearing you away from the bloody mess you’re causing. You watch as they pick up their fallen soldier, next stop for him is most probably the hospital. You laugh and say something sarcastic and one of his friends’ walks up to you, looks you in the face and answers back! It’s like a sweet dare. Another chance to school these idiots you think so you do the only rational thing in your head at that time…… B**** move! You shove him and step up to him. What follows is another exchange of words as your boys and his boys-one very wounded- hold you back! Another date is set, another war is waged, only this time it’s a crew affair and there’ll be more than one person getting a beating! You smile, and feeling like the Alfa male, you take on his challenge! The vicious cycle continues, who wins the next round? You can never know for sure!
Hi Big siz, I am a 16-year-old 304 at a certain high school and I have been dating my boyfriend for the last two years. We are very much in love with each otherI think- and the two years have been the best in my life. However, I met a charming man in his early 20s during an event that involved campus students and some organization. We were instantly attracted to each other and we have gone for two dates. Something tells me this is the man of my dreams. Unlike my high school boyfriend who is always broke, this guy takes me to nice places, is very kind and adores me. Is it possible to be in love with two people? What should I do? Please Advice Terry, 304 Hi Terry, I think you really need some tough love right about now so pardon me if this comes out as a little harsh! You are a
sixteen year old teenager, in high school, haven’t yet done your KCSE, not sure of what your life holds for your future and your biggest concern is that you think you’re in love with two men? At your age, your biggest concern should be to your education. Now I say this with love, that twenty something year old is only out to use you and that high school fling of yours probably has five other girls on the side and if he doesn’t your romance will end as soon as he clears high school. Don’t waste your teen years chasing after love and trying to find that perfect someone, he’ll come later. Focus on your education now, make your own money and be that strong and free independent sister. However, when all is said and done, the choice remains yours. I wish you well. Take care. Big Siz

Fashion has been said to be more than what you wear. Time and time again, celebrities have proven that there’s more to what you wear than the garment or the look of the clothing. Patricia Gachoka, a clothing designer and a presenter for USIU radio talks to us about all matters fashion ........
P
atricia Gachoka a.k.a trish is a 20 year old Journalism student at USIU, who is fun loving, social and determined to succeed in life. In general the work I do is entertainment and lifestyle based. I have an upcoming clothing line in the works, I’m a stylist, I do PR with Cynthia Nyamai Communications. I also work for Radio USIU as a presenter for the breakfast show “Morning Madness” and I am also the current Head of PR for Radio USIU. I am also an artist i.e. I paint and draw plus I’m a voice artist for Dj’s (Dj Vin,Dj Andie of Homeboyz Radio) Dj Crème de la Crème and Dj Redeye Vuvu of Epic Nation. My biggest achievement thus far is having been the host of Club Kiboko and Disney Magic when I was 10 years old….back in 2002. Getting where you want to be in life is hard work, but I love every minute of my journey to the top, because I love what I do!

I don’t have one specific style… But you’ll mostly find me dressed in either vintage clothes or preppy when I need to be a formal or modern chic. Fashion to me is an extension of my personality…it’s freedomJ Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. I think the biggest fashion disaster I’ve ever seen is fishnet stockings!!! As in are they really necessary? LOL! When it comes to teen fashion today, I’d say I think it’s going in the right direction…I love how we as Africans have embraced things like kikoys and kangas….it shows our uniqueness… My iconic fashion celebrity has to be Blake Lively. I love her style, I’m inspired by it.
Everything she puts on compliments her body and shows her moods and her personality, and that’s something I admire, because to me, what you wear speaks to people. From my high school days, miniskirts are still in….back then “hey mamas” were in fashion, now there’s the more feminine ruffle miniskirts. To all the teens out there, I think you should simply be unique and endorse it! For you to be irreplaceable you should always be different. Your background and circumstances may have influenced who you are as a person, but you are responsible for who you become.

Boy talk
ot her I think I g pregnant
bUMP aHEad? I am in 304 in a mixed school in Nairobi. I have been in a rather physical relationship with a certain girl in my school. Recently, over school holidays before we went back for tuition, we took things to a different level if you get my drift…..Now I am scared that I got her pregnant. She is vomiting in the morning and can’t stand the smell of simple things like cologne. She won’t even look me in the eye and avoids me like the plague. Please advise me on the most grown up approach I can have towards this. I really don’t want to drop out of school and I don’t want her to do so either. I am honestly hoping that she is having a bad case of food poisoning or something! What do I do? Taio, 304 Dear Taio, Every action has it consequences; some are nor pleasing neither what you expected and we have to live with each and every action we make in life. First step is for your girlfriend to take a pregnancy test, know whether she is pregnant. If she is not pregnant then make an informed choice either to abstain until you are ready or to always use protection. If she is pregnant then both of you and your guardians/ parents will need to talk about as it will have many implications. If she is pregnant it will mean at some point she will stop her studies so that she can attend to the baby, however there is a chance of her going back to school but it will depend on her parents/ guardian’s willingness to take her back to school. Your studies might not be interrupted but this is another phase of life- fatherhood- therefore you will need to be prepared for the responsibilities that come with this phase. It is important that you talk to someone you trust and who can support you both emotionally and financially. Share with him/her your feelings and fears. It might not be an easy time but with the support from your loved ones the burden can be shared. Much love, Biggie

a is l pa y M drunk! Hic!
Hi siz, I am getting concerned for a friend of mine. She recently started drinking and I fear she is getting addicted to it. She steals it from her parents and is friends with a local spirits seller in her hood. There’s one time she got so drunk, she blacked out. I had to drag her home with me because I couldn’t let her parents see her like that. I’ve tried to get her to stop but she isn’t listening to me. Please help… Terry, 204 Dear Terry, It must be disappointing seeing your friend go down the trench. Alcohol consumption affects the brains cells, resulting in poor judgment, difficulty making decisions and lack of insight. Over drinking can also make her engage in risky sexual behaviours that can led to getting HIV, sexually transmitted infections and unplanned pregnancy. First talk to her about her behavior; the best time to talk to her is shortly after an alcohol related problem has occurred –like when you dragged her home. Choose a time when she is sober, both of you are calm and in a private place and talk it out. Let her know the facts about her behaviour and the possible consequences. Remember she may not agree with everything you tell her. Second, you might not be able to do it alone, seek support from her significant others like parents or someone you know that she trusts and listens to. Thirdly if she acknowledges that for sure she has a problem and she would like to be helped, refer her to an Alcoholics Anonymous group where she can get more information. Remember as a friend you can only do so much, the rest is up to her! Luv, Big sis.
