BEAUTY QUEEN
“Every bird flies with its own wings”
African Proverb
In Kenya Sunday mornings herald the beginning of a procession of vibrantly dressed women who delight in wearing their best pieces and elaborate hairdos to church. Sidewalks become Sunday catwalks as each woman enjoys the fun of pulling out all the stops to become a full African beauty queen. The boldness of print and hair, makeup and perfume reaches a harmonious climax of each woman wearing her ‘Sunday best’, yet no woman outdoes the other since each one is a winning personality, giving a lovely diversity and colour to the day.
