IS NOW WHOLLY Digital

- Onah Nwachukwu Editor, THEWILL DOWNTOWN

Growing up, we had a couple of paintings in our home. One that stood out was The Mona Lisa (not the original, obviously). It was my dad’s favourite and a pretty good version. It still sits hanging in our family home. I, however, never got comfortabl­e with the painting. My dad, on the other hand, loved it. Well, obviously, he bought it. While it is listed as one of the greatest works of art, I found it disturbing. It seemed she was staring at me with a strange smile from any angle of the living room. And no matter how much my dad tried to explain the painting and its beauty and concept, it still made me unconforma­ble. That was over thirty years ago. I have slowly come to appreciate The Mona Lisa and gotten over the way she seemed to look at me as a child, so I urge you to read pages fourteen through fifteen as we list the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) paintings.

The fashion pages suggest that we may have someone from the Afrobeats genre of music score a ticket (invite) to the Met Gala this year, analyzing those likely to get an invite to the ultimate Fashion event and the designers they’d wear. It makes for an exciting read.

Our personalit­ies change as we grow older, and with each phase comes different things; the way we dress, the house we live in and even the cars we drive—interestin­gly, it is said that you can tell a person’s personalit­y from the vehicle they drive. Although some factors such as flooding may also play in part in deciding your choice of cars in this clime, it’s more accurate than not that we know your personalit­y based on your car. From SUVs to hatchbacks, sports cars and sedans, they all tell us exactly who you were at that time in your life when you bought the car. Would you agree?

Until next week, enjoy your read.
