I am not in the mag

We were sitting in a near empty upmarket Kilimani restaurant late one night, when in walked an old mzungu man, trailed by what a fellow network maker calls butterflies. They were top of the range butterflies. Ample butterflies. Their dress code – tight maximum exposure. Everything was either abulging or ahanging. Four buttocks a butterfly, created by the cut of the tight panties across their rear ends. Five breasts a butterfly, two auxiliary breasts toward each armpit, two real breasts, and the fifth, a mound of flesh centrally located on the chest, created by brightly coloured ill fitting breast-compressing-brassieres, showing through their transparent tops. Flesh vending. Flesh galore, for sale by the kilo.

One had been in a fight with acne. She’d lost. She had enhanced and highlighted the acne scars with a light coloured mask of foundation. I assumed the mask was the skin colour she aspired for, because you could see the variance on her dark black African hands.

The acne veteran was assertive. In a short while she had claimed a bar stool, got two drinks apiece for herself and her silent compadre and was extolling their selling points to the mzungu. He was not interested. It emerged he had tried getting rid of them, by crossing the road from another nearby joint, the butterflies' domicile, in the hope that they would be barred from entering this restaurant.

They prowled the bar. Their long gold coloured horse mane hair swishing. Displaying their dimpled and mottled thighs, in porno heels. I learnt that phrase yesterday. Loudly coloured lady shoes with a thick platform and the narrowest longest stiletto heel that can be found.

I love watching "the butterflies". You must say it like that - the butterflies. And they love being watched. Which makes sense, because their service offering starts at the visual. These ones did not disappoint me. Mouth agape (pronounced with heavy emphasis on the last vowel) we watched as they did a little pole dance routine around the bar stools. Aptly twirling and turning their nether regions.

Our interest was not missed. Miss Acne spoke up and we had the following conversation;

You are jealous.

*Eyebrows lifting* Me?

Yes you are jealous.

Really?

Yes.

Ok.

You are jealous.

Ok.

Because you are not in the mag.

The what?

The mag.

What’s that?

THE maaaaaaaaaaag.

What are you talking about?

This mag *pulling out a South African store catalogue*.

See – here she is. There was a clothes model with a striking likeness to the mute butterfly.

Is that her?

Yes.

Oh wow. It’s her. In the mag.

You see – you are jealous.

Why?

Because you are not in the mag.

Yes, I am not in the mag.

So you are jealous.

Ok.

I knew it. You are jealous because you are not in the mag. She is in the mag. You are not in the mag.

Yes, I am jealous.

Major selling point established, she turned toward where she had left mzungu man sitting, to find he had long fled.

Major selling point wasted.

But I learnt something new. A selling and marketing technique - You are not in the mag technique. I was not in the mag. Mute butterfly was in the mag. Therefore she was better than me. And I was jealous. Was ahead of me in whatever race or game it was. And thus was better. A better deal to buy.

Anyway - I am not in the mag. Which led me to wondering if I will ever be in the mag.

What Madam requires

https://www.vectorstock.com I work as a domestic for my Madam. I look after Madam’s big family and her big house. I tend to Madams big garden and her big cars. For Madam – everything must be big. She herself is big. She is also big on ambition – both professionally and domestically. Which is where I come in. Today I had a review with my Madam. And she reminded me of her expectations and requirements regarding my performance. Some requirements were new, some she was just recapping. In my own words and in no particular order let me tell you what my Madam expects. My Madam requires; I am all-knowing. I must know everything that happened during my watch - where the bumps on the children came from and where her yellow, blue and green scarf is. She wore it yesterday and left it in the laundry basket. I am omnipotent - all powerful, invincible and able to do what is inhumanly impossible. I should make her 2 year old eat all 6 meals every day, an

Of panty lines and such other

Truth be told, as one woman to another, your panty line cutting across your baytock is not a pleasant sight. True story. And no, I am not jealous. Truly, I really do not care that you have a big bum. And yes, my backside is minuscule, a peanut of a derriere. I am not well endowed in my nether regions. And still I am not jealous. Lets talk about us, the small haunched women. As the world goes gaga over the well endowed grogan ciandas, we too have drooled [in an appreciation of God’s creation kind of way and not on a sexual orientation manner], coveted those mahagas. We have each come to the realisations that, “my fundamentals is small ya?” We have told ourselves that “not all good things come in big packages” and “small is good too”. And with that admission has come acceptance and soon an appreciation for our pint sized rear My bottom is small. And to add injury to insult, it has a bad shape. It has dents on the side. And these dents lend gre

Gal, before you get hitched....

Yeee!! You are getting married. Marriage is beautiful. You are in for a great ride!! Exhilarating and thrilling. Here is what I think you should know...... Marriage is an official arrangement. That demands some bureaucratic process and hunting for certificates and signatures from various authorities. Parking your backside on a man’s 4x6 bed and squeezing your underwear next to his in the bag hanging off the mobile wardrobe door is not a marriage. Even if you have four children. And it does not matter what the constitution says. Marriage happens when a man publicly stands up and says it has happened. Until that day, you are just a woman he sexes, a woman who bears his children, but is not good enough to marry. Before you marry, you know nothing about marriage. You have watched marriages. You have read about it. You have gone for pre-marriage counseling. You still know nothing about marriage. You will find out about marriage when you are

I will write on my table

I am a creature of habits and routines. Some good, some nasty, some neither here nor there – Rouge Deck thing with a crimson pool, that I nearly took a tumble into. Future wise words to self – wear flats on deck. lukewarm, which I hear is reviled in some quarters. One thing is, I do not often go into some spaces. Like the food, fashion and furniture affair at the DusitD2 space – nice, with its with its Rouge Deck thing with a crimson pool, that I nearly took a tumble into. Future wise words to self – wear flats on deck. Food was good. The mushroom fritter like bites dipped in a ricotta and something and dip were divine. I shamelessly munched on them in bunches of three. I told the bites distributer to via me every 5 minutes. Very obedient. I stopped counting at their fourth stop. Meanwhile, I was informed that the word divine is bougie bougie and to stop using it tout de suite. I did. Will never speak it again. Only write it when I meet the mushrooms again. Th

One woman too late

I am sitting at the bar, waiting for a friend who told me she was “at the roundabout” an hour ago. Nothing much is happening. Two men sitting to my left. They are eating crisps dipped in avocadoes smashed with tomatoes and chilies. Talking about internet marketing. They each have Coronas in front of them. I do not understand that beer. On my right, a fifty-something old man, showing the pictures on his phone to his, female “working class” twenty-something year old date. I wonder about them for a bit. Wonder what kind of pictures. Nothing else concrete. Just wondering without actually thinking. Thoughts that never quite form in the head kind of wondering. Across the room – two white men sitting face to face across a small low table. One pudgy. The other sleek. They take turns to go to the bar to buy themselves one beer at a time. Strange. It’s not a self service bar. Maybe they like chatting to the bartender. She is a nice looking gal. With a mohawk and
