A Rueful Class Reunion in the City of Accra

We had a mini reunion not many nights ago. One of our colleagues was taking the lead leap of launching his solo practice. We were all proud of him ... I hope :-). But two of the vicious vixens in our class were curare-paralysed with envy when another of the more visible of our guys touched down with his spicy senorita. She was in a dress cut and uncut to show off her young, cavernous, hips-don’t-lie body in many heart-stopping cameos. The sneers, snide remarks and non-discreet snickering didn’t make it to their already-ageing eyes. The rest of us loved it when mock choking turned real for the one with the most post-school, personal-life mistakes (I know it’s wicked, but it was fun).

    well ageism is a womans issue...maybe that was the basis for their prejudicial attitudes or envy if i may say so...i guess this spicy seniorita looked confident in what she wore...

    Dear Yngvild, thanks. Yes, it was fun. What was not as much fun was the last blog meet without you. ;-)

    Well, Anon, thought ageism was universal. Dunno. And, yes, Spicy Senorita was uber-confident.

    Well, Nov, I for one will not be rushing to attend another of these time-wasters anytime soon.

    ...and the moral of the story is, NEVER attend a reunion unless you have made a pact with the devil to keep you looking 25 or filthy rich, no?:-)
