Sup Aco. I had similar baby dreads last year but I was forced to shave them off when I got back to Nairobi in November. Thats coz of the perception that I'd started doing drugs and shit like that. People start looking at you differently. It's ridiculous.

@Kagz: however much you try to ignore the sentiments, you begin to realize that the Kenyan society is still very conservative and judgemental. Somehow you just find yourself bowing down to the pressure and conforming to avoid problems.

My guy, u certainly look much better than when we last met...them years when we were still lovers of student journalism. Whatever you do with your head and hair, don't you lose that acerbic touch :-)

@ archer
I feel your pain.I always wanted to get some when I was in nai but due to the mungiki connection I never did.
It takes someone who is determined and hard headed to keep them in spite the pressure to conform.
@ nick
Them and contacts too!
@ nakeel
Come on down!
@ kagz
I think I work less at anonymity than most bloggers.I constantly post pics of my home town,digs,pals etc.
It's a good thing that your bro had the strength of character to suceed despite what people thought.
@ kenyananalyst
I guess time changes people but I am still as acerbic as ever!
@ mama mia
Is there something about the specs I am not being told?

Now dearest my locks are au naturale only thing I use is that chemical for putting in the shine but yes having two heads wearing headgear in one bed looks kinda weird.Glad you like it!
