Kitenge na mitindo yake ...!!

Kitenge or chitenge is an African garment similar to sarong, often worn by women wrapped around the chest or waist, over the head as a headscarf, or as a baby sling. They are also sometimes worn by men around the waist in hot weather. .......!Kitenges are similar to kangas and kikoy, but are of a thicker cloth, and have an edging only on a long side. Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Sudan are some of the African countries where kitenge is worn.In Malawi, Namibia and Zambia, kitenge is known asChitenge. They are also sometimes worn by men around the waist in hot weather. In some countries like Malawi, Chitenges are never worn by men.

Kitenges (plural vitenge in Swahili; zitenge in Tonga) serve as an inexpensive, informal piece of clothing that is often decorated with a huge variety of colors, patterns and even political slogans.

The printing on the cloth is done by a traditional batik technique. Many of the designs have a meaning. A large variety of religious and political designs is found as well as traditional tribal patterns. The cloth is used as material for dresses as well.....!!

Things Not to wear In Public..!

Unsuitable clothing worn in public seems to be on the rise. Now, as they say, it´s a free country, but it would be nice if people gave a little thought as to the sights they inflict on other people! Some garments don´t flatter the wearer, and are just wrong. Haven´t we all looked at someone and wondered if they own a mirror? Bitchy, maybe, but unsuitable clothing does tend to rather jump out at you. Here are some things not to wear in public …


1. Underwear...!!

Oh dear God. Why do people think that anyone else wants to see their underwear? There´s a reason why it´s called underwear. That´s because it should stay UNDER wraps! But there are those guilty of revealing to the world the colour, shape and style of their undies. Put it away, people, nobody else wants to see it. Really, they don´t.


2. Too Much Cleavage......!!

A hint of cleavage is sexy. Too much just looks cheap. The worst aspect of this may be what´s been dubbed the ´under-cleavage´. That´s when the top of a dress is so revealing that it actually shows the underneath of a breast. Fortunately, this ´trend´ seems to be restricted to Hollywood starlets and clubbers, but there are still too many women who force their boobs into dresses that don´t quite accommodate them. Less is definitely

more.


3.Falling down Pants.....!

Guys are just as guilty of wearing unsuitable clothing. It´s a fairly common sight in most cities to see guys with their pants virtually down around their knees and their Calvin Kleins on display. If you´re eating as you read this, stop right now – I saw one guy dressed like this recently but it wasn´t his underwear on show. No, this guy was treating the public to a view of his butt crack. Ugh, is all I can say.




4. Bare Chests...

Guys, put it away, please! Most male chests are only of interest to the owner´s partner. The rest of us do not want to see you in your hirsute glory. Nor do we want to see chests that look like the ´before´ section of one of those old bodybuilder ads. Besides, it´s so sexist that men can get away with it but women can´t (point 5 notwithstanding).

Smokey Eye...!!

Smokey eye makeup is a dramatic style of eye makeup that gives eyes a dark, smokey appearance. This style of eye makeup is quite popular, though it is generally not a style that should be worn every day. Instead, smokey eye makeup looks best for fancy occasions. This style of eye makeup makes use of eyeshadow primer, at least two eyeshadows, eyeliner, andmascara.

There are many tutorials to be found online to create smokey eye makeup, along with example photos. The first step is to choose the colors to be used; charcoal and grays are the most popular, but brown, violet, or even greens may also be used to create a smokey eye. Makeup artists generally recommend avoiding any shades of blue, because they can make it look like one has a black eye... here is the video ...

NAVY BLUE..!

Navy blue is a very dark shade of the color blue which almost appears as black.A navy blue dress is a sophisticated color than complements a variety of skin colors. It has a slimming effect to hide any unwanted weight to suit almost any body type.Regardless what time of the day, you can wear this without appearing sloppy or overly dressed.... kazi kwakooo .....!!
