WHO IS EZ? - 30 Things About Me



Hiya!

So I've seen this 'XX things about me' tag floating around the interwebs, especially youtube. Since I am not ready to start posting videos on my youtube page yet, I have decided to type mine up instead.

So if you've got a little extra time on your hands, allow me to let you in on some personal ish! :)

Baby Ez
  1. I am half Bura, half Igbo. 'Bura' is a tribe from Adamawa State.
  2. I am full Nigerian. In my family (on my mum's side) my great-great grandmother was white so I got the gene. There's a couple of us in the family that got it.
  3. I have got two Sisters. I'm in the middle
  4. In 1999 my parents adopted a teenage boy and I got a Brother! :)
  5. I give the best road directions
  6. I love my own company
  7. I have a phobia for birds, all feathered creatures and even feathers
  8. My favourite colour is PINK!
  9. I detest odours. Infact I am pertified of them. If I was speaking to someone and they had mouth/body odour I'd just walk away as soon as I got a whiff. Mid-convo, just walk away. I do this all the time.
  10. I have got a slight lisp when I talk
  11. When I was born the doctors thought I had Jaundice because I was so pale and my mum was darker than I was, so they couldn't understand. I didn't have Jaundice afterall.
  12. When I was a toddler I almost went deaf. We were all sat eating breakfast at the table and then a voice in my mum's head went " Your child's going deaf". And she came over to my side and clapped in my right ear and I didn't even flinch or look at her. She immediately bundled me off to the hospital and turns out I had an infection/growth in my nose that was spreading to my ears and was rushed into surgery to have it taken out. This is a true story!
  13. I started modelling when I was 18
  14. Most people think I am tough. I have NO idea why
  15. I hate confrontations, like to pick my battles.
  16. Self-confidence is something I recently gained
  17. I once lost a job because of how I looked. Not my appearance, just how I looked. (I just re-read this and thought, as a model I have lost A LOT of jobs because of how I looked. What I meant here is a professional/office/9-5 type job, my bad)
  18. My dream car is an All-white Mercedes G-Wagon G65 with the darkest factory tints on all windows.
  19. I drive with my left hand on the steering and my right on the gear. Even though I drive an automatic and I am right-handed. This is because I learnt how to drive using a manual car and I guess I always had my hand on the gear.
  20. It drives me mad when I catch people staring at me
  21. I cannot shave/use depilatory creams on my underarms. I have to get them waxed professionally every other week
  22. There is a part of my life that I have never ever mentioned to anyone except family. Well, they lived through it as well.
  23. I haven't got that many friends but I know quite a number of people
  24. I can't understand unkempt people
  25. I am an extremely picky eater. I always have something added in or taken out of my food. During my undergrad years, my local chinese restaurant added in a new number on their menu for me it was number 96A: Special Fried Rice with extra chicken and shrimp, no veg and very spicey
  26. I don't eat the skin on a piece of chicken, roasted, barbequed, KFC.. I never eat the skin. It grosses me out
  27. I don't eat the yolk in an egg.. Fried or boiled
  28. When I was 10/11 I got scouted by a French model-agent whilst shopping with my mum. She asked my mum if she would be interested in getting me into modeling. My mum gave a resounding NO. (cheers mum)
  29. I hate being hounded for anything, especially when it's a favour
  30. I plan to have a full-on dressing room at my house, complete with professional-standard salon and walk-in closet
That took a WHILE to type-up! But there it is... Feel like you know me better? lol

Laters,

Ez xxX

    1. Awww! Thanks for reading!

      I can't do any of those because I get the WORST irritations. Ingrown hairs, bumps, it's really painful and sore AND disgusting to look at. But with waxing, it's all smooth-sailing for me! :)

    No 17. I don't get...your appearance vs. looks. Is it not one and the same? lool

    1. Haha! Well I think appearance has to do with how you present yourself, in terms of your clothes, hair, makeup. And looks is just the your physical 'look' .. :s.. But yeah, they're two different things anyway! lmao!

  10. Entertaining read-please clarify a few things.

    20.It drives me mad when I catch people staring at me-Surely, this is only done in a complimentary manner, why get mad? Just ignore.

    17.I once lost a job because of how I looked. Not my appearance, just how I looked- How does one lose a professional 9-5 job based on looks? Perhaps racially motivated.

    16.Self-confidence is something I recently gained- A bit puzzled that you until recently battled with self confidence even though you model. I always imagined/thought that "models" have tons of self confidence.

    I'm guessing that this is the reason you hide your face/don't post videos?

  11. Nice one...we sort of know you better. Your dream car? Spot on! And #19, I drive the same freaking way...i have no idea why!

    Really nice post :)
