Bling It!!!!!
July 8, 2010
It was made famous by the egyptian pharoes and African Kings and nobility and was thrown back into this generation by hip hop, gangsters, rappers and pimps (dont you love how the universe works)
Many of you may not know this but I LOVE me some bling on a man. Fellas don't listen to the critics of bling, they just dont understand that sometimes you want to spend money on something that makes you giggle to your self. Bling is really self indulgent (in a good way).
Dont get me wrong I love it when a man buttons up but he's gotta be able to flip and get gully at the drop of a dime.
The Shirtless bling:
remember this video.... Nelly shut it down. CAUTION: this look is best done by a well worked out, oiled up man (Even Janet couldn't keep her hands off him)
Jesus Pieces: personally I'd do an ankh but to each their own and besides rappers have souls too
Vanity piece: thats the one with your face, name or logo (for your company) on it. You gotta be your number one fan right?? BTW love rick ross.....am the biggest boss (yezr)
Lil john is the king of CRUNK so its only right that he wear this.
Residual self Image Piece: This is an aspirational piece, more of who you want to be, slick rick is a rich Afrian king below so he blinged up like it
This picture of Kanye west was taken at the King Tut exhibition he's clearly channeling that energy

Utamaduni is the Kiswahili word for “tradition” it is often used to refer to culture and tradition. Africa’s traditional culture has been forgotten in so many ways and the purpose of utamaduni wear is to revive African fashion and style in a very unique way by merging today’s ever changing trends with traditional fabrics, accessories and essence. On this Blog I will share my thoughts and points of interest in life; I welcome all of you to share with me utamaduniwear@gmail.com or post comments.
