How life funny so?

My father brought this to my attention.

You've all heard of Nadine Willis right? Mad Bull has blogged about her, and so have I. She used to be an exotic dancer from lower class surroundings, not much education etc.

Then she was discovered by Kingsley Cooper who heads Pulse - the most notable modelling agency in Jamaica. Nadine set the world on fire with her exotic looks and her je ne sais quoi. She's one of, if not the hottest black model in the world today.

When she is in Kingston, she lives in a suite at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel. That's a big thing. I think they give her free room, but don't quote me on that.

The point of this story (bet y'all were thinking 'when is she going to come to the point') is that Nadine turned 25 a few weeks ago and the Pegasus had a party for her. A bashment you might call it. Invited guests included the Issa twins, Zein and Muna.

Their father, John, is Chairman of the Pegasus board and also owns Superclubs, a well known all inclusive chain of hotels in the Caribbean.

So my father sees a picture of the twins and Nadine cutting birthday cake, or maybe it was blowing out the candle. He says "you see how life funny? When this girl was living in the ghetto, you would never see people like the Issas associating with her, but now that she become famous, everybody flocking around her."

Very valid viewpoint.

I saw her in an article in our local paper I just hope that she is smart enough to see through these superficial people for who they are and not forget her roots.

Thats why I love that Mike Jones song "back then they didn't know me now I'm hot their all over me...."

I guess thats just the way that people are... what to do. What is more important to me is, has she dashed away her former dancer sistren? Hmmm...

Or maybe I shouldn't say important. Its more interesting to me...

Exactly the same thought I had. Hypocrites. Only wish Nadine is seeing them for what they really are. Opportunists!
