The perfect little girl

Sugar, spice, all things nice and chemical x is what it takes to make the perfect little girls*. The Kenyan equivalent in the early 90s would be:
  • Nguo ya gorofa or Nguo ya Net: purchased at Garissa lodge for Christmas
  • Socks za net: ankle length
  • Pumps or Bubblegummers (Pink)
  • Goggles: From the Nairobi Show
  • Punk hairstyle: push-back and lift at the front
  • Mum's lipstick
  • Single dot of wanja on the right cheek
  • Plastic jewelery set: birthday gift
Ah... 'tis the wonder of childhood. You cannot say the same for the current fashion for kids now can you?
*Professor Utonium et al
