Movie Premier - Hands of Time by Van Vicker

I recently had the utmost pleasure when I got to sit down with one Africa's sexiest men alive!  He is actor, producer, director - Mr. Van Vicker who has been featured in multiple films in the Nollywood film industry.   He couldn't have been more gracious, smart & charming!


He was in town to promote and screen his latest film, The Hands of Time.  This was not my first time meeting him and I have featured him on this blog before.  See the story here.
Some incredible people enabled this meeting to take place and it is no small feat. I am very grateful that these people came through for me. Van & I talked about various topics and he gave some great advice.  Check out the footage here:


Here's addional footage from the actual film premier in Atlanta;

Public Service Announcement - How to spot the fakes!!

Yours truly doing some product placement! Where's my $$$ Dr. Dre??  :) :)

It is no secret that I LOVE the Beats by Dr. Dre brand of headphones. They not only look good but are of superior quality - something I do NOT skimp on. I got a pair of the studio headphones last year and have not regretted my purchase ever since!!  But like any great thing, there are often imitators!!  They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but I beg to differ in this case!! Fake versions of the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones are popping up everywhere!!  Beware!! The fakes will never match up in quality of the sound which is what sets the real ones apart.  Yes, they are a bit costly but worth every penny!! I'll let Ed Lover explain below:

Featured Actor: Van Vicker (Liberian-Ghanaian)

Van Vicker is an actor in the Ghana Film Industry who is usually cast as the male romantic lead in films, often alongside actresses Jackie Aygemang and Nadia Buari. He is of Liberian-Ghanaian descent.

  
I had tried to fight the force that is the "Nollywood" movement (Nigerian movies to the rest of the world) but I lost the fight and found myself enjoying the movies tremendously! I just love how melodramatic the characters become, the snickering, sneers etc etc but I do dislike the fact that some  long drawn out scenes! I mean, do we really have to watch every bit of detail leading up to a great scene? Some scenes can be left on the cutting room floor! *I digress* These movies are a guilty pleasure for me.


Here are some more pictures of Africa's own sensational actor, Van Vicker.

This may be a self-serving purpose because my bestie and I had the pleasure of meeting the actor recently and I must say he was very pleasant and gracious!!  Eat your hearts out ladies!

Van Vicker and yours truly!!

Laughter is the best medicine...until the joke's on you!

I just got back home from a comedy show.   A good one!  My funny bone was thoroughly tickled! I was fortunate enough to get front row seats - I know somebody that knows somebody:) While I can appreciate great seats, I dislike being readily available to a comedian should he/she decide to make me a part of their act for the sake of a laugh!  Trust me, it has happened to me before so my paranoia is somewhat justified.  A little while ago, a comedian who shall remain nameless, decided to engage me in some banter due to my close proximity to the stage.  It all went downhill {for me} as soon as he detected an accent!  While I cringed at his jokes about the "motherland" the rest of the audience were in stitches! 
I have since acquired thick skin learned to laugh along with everyone should a joke about my background/origin come up.  
Take it away Jamie Foxx!
