FASHION WEEK


FASHION WEEK
First-ever event celebrating local and locally inspired fashion design in Zanzibar set to
premiere in October.
This October, the all-new Fashion Week Zanzibar will take over Stone Town’s prolific Mtoni Palace in a celebration of local fashion and unique East African design. The new initiative is dedicated to showcasing fashion created in or inspired by the beautiful island of Zanzibar, Tanzania.
The island’s homegrown fashion industry has been developing in exciting new ways in recent years. One-of-a-kind designs pulling from the varied influences of Zanzibari culture and island life, mixed with the brightly coloured patterns of kanga and kitenge, create a strong sense of place and culture in the local fashion industry.

The event is founded and organized by photographer and businessman Javed Jafferji,
internationally renowned designer Farouque Abdela, and budding photographer Adnan Abbas. “We decided to celebrate Zanzibar’s up-and-coming fashion and create a festival dedicated to our one-of-a-kind fashion flavor,” says Jafferji.
“The decision was made on the spur of the moment and the whirlwind hasn’t stopped since.”
“We hope to encourage the local fashion industry and empower young designers,” says Abdela. As a part of the community, organizers say the event will continue to grow and shape the potential of this promising industry in Zanzibar’s future.

The protest, one of the city's largest in years, turned violent at the end of an anti-NATO march, where demonstrators confronted Chicago police, pushing against a line of officers several blocks from the lakefront convention center where President Obama hosted a gathering of world leaders. Authorities were seen making arrests one by one and leading individual demonstrators away in handcuffs. After a clash near McCormick Place, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said at a news conference that the protests resulted in 45 people being arrested and four officers suffering injuries - one from a stab wound in the leg.

MBINU ZA KUMFIKISHA MWANAMKE MWENYE MAKALIO MAKUBWA KILELENI KWA HARAKA

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea. Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”. Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja.
