Who's The New Face Of Legit?

Non and RiRi

Queen Fabulous is Back!!!!

And yep, she's back with a bang because within two days of landing on Mzansi soil, Nonhle Thema was already shooting a commercial coz yeah, Legit has seen what I've always seen in her and they approached miss thang to be the "FACE OF LEGIT"

01 September (which happens to be Blogiwood's 1 year anniversary), the campaign kicks off so Jozi billboards here she comes. Traffic jams bathong!!
Oh, and next time you see her on SABC, she won't be selling Medical Aid...he he he.

The picture with Rihanna was taken during her two months trip to the US where she was living it up with the likes of T.I & Jermaine Dupri (that picture caused so much drama yho!) so O Access 2 is on the way and we are waiting ngomoya o "baited" hi hi hi.

Back to Legit:

Legit Logo

I hear the clothing retailer did a survey and asked schoolkids which Mzansi female celebrity they liked, Nonhle's name came out tops, and that's why they approached her specifically. Seems I'm not the only one with a gal crush....

Just wanna say Big Up to Nonhle on the deal, I'm sure there's some money there somewhere....
Next time I see you, I'm gonna check the labels on your clothes to see if they are LEGIT, if not we are exposing you!!

Speaking of labels and names, why do stores like Legit, Truworths (OBR) & Jet (Network) like to put their names on the clothes for everyone to see where you bought them??
Hayi maan, you see something, you want to buy it but the labelling nje switches you off...and you're like "everybody's gonna know where I bought this, haikhona." Then you leave it...hi hi hi

Eish, and Legit, please don't put that shiny anchor sign at the back of the tee-shirts asseblief, it gives everything away.

You can find out more about Nonhle and Legit in the September issue of True Love Babe. (Funny that it has Rihanna on the cover too)

Channel O, I can't believe you only sent me one picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you want me to find the rest online like I did the JD one?? He he he he I will surprise you.

Gotta Add:
While keeping with the Women's Month celebrations, Big up to Refiloe Sehume, Channel O's PR Exec for holding it down nicely over there...am so gonna miss your professionalism sis. Your "niceness" went beyond generating good publicity for Ch O, it came from the heart.

Err...before you go, please just organize VIP tickets for our readers :) phela the Awards are around the corner.
Change the date too, while you're at it. This Thursday thing, we just don't understand...much love!

yeah B,i agree the pic doesn't look LEGIT at all.does that mean she'll have her own clothing range or something like that.cause last i checked Noni had hers at LEGIT unless i'm experiencing a blonde moment

Brown Shuga
22 Aug 2007 16:05

Hey Bra Bizza (nice name): she won't be having a clothing line...just endorsing their clothes.

LOL @ Lady R.O ha ha ha, as a rule, people making such claims need to back them up with a picture so yeah, we will be waiting for you to email us your picture for us to decide if you really can "compete" as you put it.
Not that I understand why there's a need to compete?? Can't we all just be beautiful in our own ways without worrying about who's more beautiful? Just asking...

Riri looks like a Madame Traussad wax statue.
About Legit, Precious Kofi was the face, just recently. Is she still?

Welcome back Nonthle. Hey Bee - am also wondering about the weather differences on one pic nogaal (the Outfits). Otherwise to me Nonthle somewhat looks like Lil'Kim and those eyelashes. Legit has made a smart move but I'm not too sure abt wearing the Legit clothes part on Nonthle's side.

Still love u gal and Riri's trench coat looks exactly like Mine. Hihihi ela ela ela we have something in common!!!!

P.S Weather differences - I stand to be corrected. Damn EEEEENGLISH (not my mada tongue)

Itls a good thing that Legit is approaching our home girls and i hope Nonhle is going to do the job well, can i trust her. She strikes me as a disigner clothers person , imagine if she was to be dressed by Legit on the Metros in Cape Town. Rhihana has got a forehead of a lifetime bathong and please tell me , does she have anything to do with Legit yena.

Someone mentioned something with clothing shops doing their branding on the clothes, i am so tired of that nonsense but it's a pitty i don't know who to consult when it comes to that. The following shops and brands are good in that:

1.Identity
2.Legit
3.Truworths and their many brands like OBR and Hemisphere
4.Edgars (Relay)

Have they ever seen Pep doing that , have they ever seen Jumbo Bazaars doing that, have they ever seen Smart Center doing that , Have they ever seen Bergers doing that? Never , and Dunn's ,by the way is there still any shops like anything Bee Gees and Sales House , and are the still any clothing brands like Piere Cardin?

I so agree with you Bee about that pic I smell a rat, doesnt seem right to me.

Annonymous
23 Aug 2007 07:07

There is definitely sumthing VERY fishy about this pic. Big ups to Nonhle on being the new face of legit though. I also can't imagine her wearing their clothes. Wena Beyonce if u were the face of Mr Price, would u wear their clothes on a daily basis as part of their advertising, bearing in mind ukuthi they love to have that RED label of theirs highy visible?

Xhosa Chick

Njingalwazi: Pierre Cardin is still around. I saw some of their watches just yesterday. I dont know about Sales House, Bee Gees, Bears etc. LOL @ those shops.
