Goldie: Pop diva ? but the eye lashes have it.

Daring, eccentric and unapologetic, Goldie, real name Susan Harvey, is a product of the MTV generation. Her debut on the Naija music scene, the OJB produced “Komole” and “Spin Me” in 2007, made industry enthusiasts look up and pay attention.The same way Brandy was initially known for her signature braids and the late Lisa ‘Left eye’ Lopes for her condom patched left eye, our own self-acclaimed pop diva, Goldie, is known for her lashes.“Lashes normally denote sensuality and femininity, at the same time shielding your eyes - so people can’t see what you are thinking if you don’t want them to,” she says. “My extra long lashes aim to amplify all these three qualities.”From her unique lashes, which have been dubbed the ‘industry’s longest’, to her trademark gold (sometimes blonde) hair do, the University of Sunderland, Business Management graduate has carved a niche for herself in this regard.While some of mainstream pop’s royalty might be regarded for their singing talent or music writing skills, Goldie is carving out her own unique place in the pop stratosphere with her head-turning appearance. Not widely regarded for her singing ability, her videos make up for it with an abundance of colour and drama. Describing her style as unique, sexy, confident and fun, she addresses misconceptions about her: “The only thing that people would see in me is sex and that is not what I am all about,” she defends. “You don’t judge a book by its cover!”With Michael Jackson as a teen idol, the Ekiti State native says of her inspiration, “I derive my inspiration from the inside – vivid colours, bubble skirts, corsets and gloves and very vintage attire.”Whether this fashion trend is picking up amongst fans remains to be seen but what we do see is a woman comfortable in her own skin.
