There's Nothing Odd About A Porsche In A Lagos Shop

So this has been bugging me a bit: Where in Nairobi do you find black, water-proof, lash-extending mascara (yes, I want the full, fake-it package)? Maybe I just didn’t search hard enough? L'Oréal, one of the high-street brands I love, have opened shop in Nairobi, but no make up, I hear, only hair products, and whilst I love hair products in principle, I don’t have much hair. So when someone travels, I usually ask them to pick up my favourite brand at the airport, or have it sent to their place before.

Then, Birkenstocks, my London leftover - it was the summer uniform back then: combats, tank top, Birkenstocks (and a triumph of rebranding, I think, from dowdy muesli-eater shoes to urban hipster footwear). I still wear them. They are great to walk the doglet, and to cruise through Karura Forest in. These days, you can buy them easily in Nairobi, but they are nearly double the UK price, so there’s that. Also on my consumer goods, I’m pleased to report that my duka man on Rhapta Road in his infinite market researched wisdom carries both diet coke and Schweppes tonic water – the latter useful in case we should accidentally run out of supplies for pink gin tonics. And I still beg the occasional visitor for a Chanel compact because Chanel makes everything better, not unlike puppies (although Chanel make amazing shoes, too, whereas puppies might just eat your shoes).

A newcomer tries, but ultimately fails, to 'get' Derby madness [Louisville newbie]

1. Wearing college gear. It's enough to make a UW graduate buy a purple T-shirt or something. (Getty Images) 9. Birkenstocks: These sturdy sandals are another myth; we don't wear these much anymore. (Olympia is the exception.) But we do wear.
2. “You won't feel silly once you're at the track,” my boyfriend reassures me as I get into his car. “You look fine.” He's right, of course. I look fine. I look better than fine, really. I will go so far as to say I look gussied up.
3. Horrified, she whizzed me to the nearest Birkenstock factory outlet to buy me some "proper German walking shoes". They perked me up no end; oh such soft and floaty arch support. What, though, for warmth? Fashionistas avert your eyes.
4. The day came, we discussed, and excitedly decided: to get a cat. Jon, a Brit who adores every English 'memorial to animals who died in war,' had been craving pet affection for years; I had never had a creature in my life. Not quite ready for being up
5. Yes, I have worn out several pairs of Birkenstocks, but I don't wear them to church! I find it natural to contemplate all matters spiritual while gardening with love in my heart for Jesus Christ and gratitude to the Creator for all of creation.
