4. Fashion and Beauty Part 2
Bongi and Matt get into their personal fashion disasters and why white men should consider moisturising more often!
Does your cultural upbringing define your morning routine? It seems it does for Bongi and Matt, especially when it comes to scrubbing in the shower and slapping on the moisturiser. For Bongi鈥檚 family in Southern Africa, not doing it right can be shameful if the neighbours notice!
Bongi uses fashion to express herself and loves making herself look good through her clothes. From boiler suits to visors, her wardrobe is crammed. But it鈥檚 more than just that, as a black woman she feels like she needs to make an effort to not be looked down on.
Meanwhile Matt admits he鈥檚 got more t-shirts with holes than he probably should do, and explain why even in South Africa, he wants to wear his trainers. But he does spend an hour in the shower, even if he doesn鈥檛 scrub!
As for fashion disasters, Bongi鈥檚 is one we all dread. Cringe.
