2 MORE DAYS TO GO TO MY BIG 40
This piece took plenty hands to get it done , plus my students via @tiannahstylingfashionacademy we literally had to cut with machines and drill holes in it to wire it , when I have an idea , I don’t give up on it till it becomes a master piece, we also had to polish the snail shells to pop , @elegantebytiannah styling creates masterpieces
AND MY ADVENTUROUS CLIENTS NOTE THIS IS FUXKING HEAVY , don’t cry when you say you want it and I do it o I was crying inside
I HAD TO DO ONE FOR THE CULTURE , When people say Nigeria does not deserve me , I tell them wherever I go , I will still miss home. SO I WILL STILL KEEP PROMOTING MY MOTHERLAND.
