R.I.P Miriam Makeba

Yesterday, November 9th, Miriam Makeba (also known as Mama Afrika) died after performing on a protest concert against the Italian Mafia. She was only 76 years old. Many may not know her, but she is known for her hit single Pata Pata. She always resisted to the Apartheid regime and moved to the United States because she could not sing freely in her home country South-Africa. After she married Black Power-activist Stokely Carmichael, she was no longer welcome in the States and was forced to move to Guinea. Nelson Mandela persuaded her to return to South Africa in 1990.

Did anyone of you see the latest South Park episode called About Last Night... It features Obama and McCain. They used the presidential elections as a cover up for a diamond robbery. South Park is so sarcastic and I adore it! Talking about sarcasm, they broadcast House MD again. Whoot whoot! Finally! I was all smiles when I bumped into an episode yesterday evening. It's such a cruel yet funny series.

I got some pictures of my great purchases yesterday. I'm sure Lolu will turn green of envy when she sees them... lol... But for now I continue humming: "My Guess boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do. One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you!"
