Girl's Night in Nigeria!

My friend Monika recently went to Nigeria. She brought back some goodies for Freda & I, so we decided to have a little "Girl's Night" to try everything on. She bought us each a "gele", which is a head tie-CLICK HERE to read about it-and a "wrapper", which is a dress-CLICK HERE to read about it. (thank you Wiki!)

We had a ton of fun! Maya & Suri loved it as well.
 Here are some pictures:

The 3 of us in our Nigerian garb:



Here I am decked out (notice the beautiful pink in the Gele? Monika knows how much I love pink!):


Monika even brought us some goodies from Nigeria & Germany!


And because she knows me well, she brought me back a Cosmopolitan from Germany & a beauty magazine from Nigeria!


Here is Freda in her wrapper with the girls in theirs:

And the Nigerian Princess herself, Monika:


Then, Suri convinced Monika to sew her a Halloween costume, so here she is measuring her:


It was a great evening!
