Mammy Dresses Scarlett in Gone With the Wind
President Bush with Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf during his recent trip to Liberia (photo courtesy of Michuzi Blog)Aisei, kumbe watu wanausudu fesheni zetu za Bongo! Mtindo wa kutundika kitambaa begani umefika mpaka Liberia! Cheki gauni ya Rais wa Liberia Mama Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf.
TAMWA waliwahi kufanya mashindano ya National Dress ya Tanzania, miaka ya 80. Mtindo uliyoshinda ni huo wa kitambaa begani. Nadhani walisema ni fesheni ya tangu enzi za Tanganyika.
Sasa nikichambua vazi la Mama Johnson-Sirleaf, zaidi naona Kilemba chake kinaelekea kwenye asili ya mababu zao yaani watumwa waliotoka Marekani. Nimeweka picha ya Mammy hapo kuonyesha watumwa walivyokuwa wanafunga kitambaa kichwani. Mnaonaje?
Liberia ulianzishwa na watumwa walioachiwa huru Marekani na kurudishwa Afrika.

Mtindo wa kutundika vitambaa ni West Africa na nguo zao za asili. Sisi ndio tumeiga.
Sisi ndo tumeiga kweli, sio mtindo wetu!
