MY FAVORITE FAMOUS PEOPLE ALIVE...

This is definitely one of the most exciting questions anybody can ask you! Somebody did me the honors and here goes,

Fame was made for a chosen few. Maybe you, maybe me. But as we build endless castles in the air, there are actual famous people out there.
My top 5 goes to:

5.Vin Diesel

Mark Sinclair, better known by his stage name Vin Diesel, is an American actor, director, screenwriter, and producer. Born July 1976, this super guy has starred in guardian of the galaxy and of course fast and furious. 
What i like most about him, his charming bad self and ofcourse that killer smile.


4.Taraji P. Henson
Taraji Penda Henson is an American actress and singer. She is known for her roles as Yvette in Baby Boy, Shug in Hustle & Flow and Queenie in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Her greatest role so far however goes to 'cookie Lyon' in ABCs EMPIRE.
Cookie is such a strong woman i admire her.

3.Najib Balala
Najib Balala attended primary school, Serani Boys, which qualified him to Kakamega High, a national school He studied Business Administration and International Urban Management and Leadership from the University of Toronto and the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.
Our very handsome Cabinet sec for Mining is nothing but a sight to behold. 



2.Pharrell Williams
Pharrell Williams, also known by his mononym Pharrell, is an American singer-songwriter, rapper, record producer, and fashion designer. Williams and Chad Hugo make up the record production duo the Neptunes, producing soul, hip hop and R&B music
Aged 42, this amazing artist has been a music icon for as long as i remember for his feel and emotion in what he writes and performs.



1.Jussie Smollett

Jussie Langston Mikha Smollett (born June 21, 1983) is an American actor, singer and photographer. As a child, he co-starred in a number of films, including The Mighty Ducks (1992) and North (1994). In 2015, Smollett began starring as Jamal Lyon in the Foxmusic-industry primetime soap opera Empire.
His voice and  nature is so appealing to anybody that watches him. I hope this one is here to stay because i would hate to forget him.



There goes! So many wonderful performers out there but not all could have made my list.
Challenge to you though, who are your best 5 famous people alive??

All i want for my birthday PHARRELL WILLIAMS...
In a nice box with a pink bow ...#sigh
the tattoo...


Well, i'm sure my evident love for this fashion/music icon has bypassed the norms. Still, if somebody is awesome and a legend, we gotta love them. This guy not only makes orgasmic music, but he blows me away with his sense of style. No wander he won the fashion icon award which was bagged by RIHANNA year 2014. 

 Now i have never liked hats. But when Pharrell does one, i have little to say whatsoever. 

Take a look at some of his iconic fashion moments.


this ones a bit clumsy..he still makes it work

take me as i am...


i may not be miss perfect
i may not indulge in that lifestyle you love so

my hair may not fall down my back
in golden locks
and my eyes may be as the night..dark

my voice may not resemble an orchestra
and my laughter has often broken windows
i may walk with a limp and my attempted sway
may break everything in my way

my smile may not expose a set of whitened teeth
and my conversation skills better of damned to death

my small arms may not have enough room
to hold you when all around you is gloom

my feet may be too short
to run a marathon, hell, i was never good at sport

but, my heart, messed up it may be
has got all you need and more

when you found me..i was lost..confused
when you found me you promised a life of smiles..
you said my smile completed your world..gave you joy
you told me that i filled the gaps in your sentences and my ...
my fingers fit through yours perfectly
all along  i wondered how you could love me so..how
i had become a person worthy of your love..i tried
i tried.i tried to be that angel..i tried to give
you that smile that lit up your world..but my heart
and my mind could not agree with me
my mind wanted you..but my heart wanted something else
i was torn apart
i was saddened
i was horrified at the thought of letting you go
but, if letting you go was the best gift i could offer you..then so be it.
though it would pain me so..though it would hurt more than anything.
