Sharon Stone Goes AFRICAN...

'The Stone', aka Sharon, of 'Basic Instinct', yes, THAT movie, the same (cough) leg-crossing scene we'll never forget, and of course, for her unforgettable portrayal of 'Ginger' in the critically acclaimed Scorsese film, Casino, (one of my favourite movies of all time, watched it 8 or 9 times, no joke) was recently spotted in Paris, looking fabulous as usual, and 'going AFRICAN'.



Sharon is a gorgeous woman, and at 55 she still has presence, charisma, charm and her signature good looks. She is also well-proportioned and I'm still wondering what the latest furore is about...she isn't wearing a bra, in Paris, her breasts look great though and it must have been a chilly day, so...why's everyone tut-tutting and pursing their mouths at Sharon going 'African'?


Well, apparently, going bra-less in Europe, or a Western country, in this particular manner, and having perfectly natural nipples-stands to top it all, is not considered 'modest', or 'decent'. Whoever is of the latter opinion, has definitely never been to our beautiful and diverse continent, Africa.

For many of us, African and Euro-African women, a bra is a luxury and among our elderly women especially, you won't find a bra to preserve your precious modesty. Yes, ma'am, here in Namibia, we swing free, hang loose, nipple to the wind, as often as we can without fear and shame.

You know a friend is your bestie, is when the first thing she does after settling into a comfortable chair, is unclip and remove her bra, to enjoy the rest of her visit, without any unnecessary stresses and strains.


Sharon's rack looks great, she's wearing a long-sleeved top and it's dark in colour. I'd estimate 80% of her modesty is still in tact. There's really nothing to worry about. Male paparazzi will naturally agree with my assessment and are without a doubt the only people responsible for this silly storm in Sharon's cup.

Be that as it may, 'going African' is not such a bad idea, at all.  Underwires, straps and hooks can increase shoulder and upper-back discomfort. It's important, always, to purchase the right brassiere and not for it's 'prettiness', but for the support you'll receive for your lifestyle. If you're active, you know by now which bra to buy. If you're Sharon Stone, come to Windhoek (Namibia), go African, no one will bat an eyelid, I promise. We're so laid back, we genuinely don't care and won't make a fuss of it either...you're welcome.

PRESS RELEASE: Insight Namibia Magazine Celebrates 100th Edition (September 2013)

In a magazine market known for its fly-by-nights and flash-in-the-pans, Insight Namibia cc marks its 100th monthly edition with the September 2013 issue . The first edition appeared in September 2004 and throughout the last nine years, Insight maintained its position as Namibia's premier current affairs magazine . Originally started and currently based in Windhoek, Namibia, the magazine's founders, Robin Sherbourne, David Lush and Tangeni Amupadhi,  journalists in their own right, at the time (2004) wrote that Insight was 'born out of a feeling that Namibians yearn for more than just hard news.' Readers were promised a publication that went beyond the daily headlines and covered 'the story behind the story' . The magazine was not started with a bank loan; the pioneers pooled their savings to get it off the ground and to this day, that same financial discipline, has ensured that Insight has never taken a loan to cover its operating, printing and overhead cos

Tattoo: Ethiopian Coptic Cross (Meskel) Design

     C hristianity arrived on the shores of southern Africa approximately 600 years ago, and unbeknownst to the bright-eyed European missionaries who disembarked from sodden ships at the Cape of Good Hope, it had been practiced on the African continent, and flourished as an independent religion for almost 1,000 years before, in Ethiopia. Today, the oldest Christian faith on the continent, rumoured to be closest in resembling early Christianity, is the Ethiopian Coptic Church (or the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church).      The cross is the popular universal symbol of Christianity and across the world, in every Christian community, it remains within the parameters of a simple design (+) , almost 2,000 years old. The Ethiopian Coptic Church is the only known Christian community that produces a remarkable version of the cross, called ''meskel''; even more remarkable, this development occurred independent of the influence of European Christianity. Meskel patterns and des
