We made it to GQ!


Baby steps I tell you...

Everyday, do (at least) 1 thing that would bring you closer to your dream(s). For me, that was sliding in the DM's and sending messages and e-mails to celebrities and influencers.

HBO's Insecure is definitely the "it" show and you know who the "it girl" is? Yvonne Orji!

My sister is the one who told me about her as I had never seen the show, only heard of it. She thought that seeing as Yvonne was originally from Nigeria and had been seen sporting African prints, she would be a good fit for a Melapteh item. I checked out her Instagram and saw that she had worn pieces from designers I am actually friendly with so a part of me thought, oh gosh, she's probably already bombarded with this stuff...should I bother? Well this year is my "Shoot your shot" year and I am saying yes to everything (reasonable). I sent an e-mail to her assistant who told me she would show Yvonne my website and get back to me...this was in April. Well if you know anything about this business, getting back to you could be a matter of days, weeks, months or even years! I sent a follow up e-mail about 3 weeks later...and another step was made some weeks later! Yvonne loved my Back to Earth coat! Now all I had to do was ship it-which I did the same day! Then, another wait...

The assistant confirmed receipt-awesome! Hooray! Right? Yes and no... The worst wait was yet to come! When and where was she going to wear the jacket to?

I have started perfecting the game of patience- as a small business owner, you have no choice! Yvonne's assistant told me she would be wearing the jacket soon but over a month later, there was still no sign of it on her Instagram.

Then, as it is with the perfect timing of God, I get a notification from Instagram-Yvonne had tagged Melapteh...AND GQ! Could this mean...Yes! Yvonne had done a story for GQ a while back and was waiting for the article to go live because guess what? Out of all her beautiful and expensive designer clothes, all the clothes she could have selected via GQ's stylist, she chose my little 'ole jacket to wear for her spread with GQ! How amazing is that?

I encourage you all to have a little faith after you have put in the work, in due time, you shall reap the reward :)

    Few things are truly universal. But while people across the time discourse contrasting languages, feed-bag opposite foods and stable feel distinct emotions, millions across the the public note porn. Without considering being so widely consumed, porn is maligned as the creator of camaraderie’s ills. It’s even been labelled a mr condition hazard by politicians in Utah.

    Porn has transformed as surplus the erstwhile few decades, correct to the availability of the internet and faster snare connections. It is also befitting more immersive than ever before. Take for understood reality. Earlier this year, researchers from Newcastle University in the UK keen completely that VR changes the ordeal of porn from d‚gag‚e observer to protagonist. They warned that this has the the right stuff to fog the border between genuineness and hallucination, perhaps damaging relationships and encouraging harmful behaviour.

    But what does the corroboration absolutely reply about how porn may or may not be affecting people? Can investigating stipulate any answers? The reality is that it is a recondite question proper for scientists to study. The simplicity of porn dictates that researchers be required to either rely on people self-reporting their porn habits, or accord it to them in laboratory settings that are unnatural. (And no uncertainty, slightly ham-fisted, too.)

    That said, there is a growing assemblage of literature that can purvey hints. BBC Tomorrow reviewed what researchers have concluded so far.
