She has much to her advantage: a face and figure that tease out the best colours from paint brushes and camera lenses; a charm so far removed from banal experience; affluence the likes of which only the old queens of pristine dreamt of possessing; and time’s flattering halos. At 40, Laide Lanre-Badmus simply radiates and dazzles.
Some women wear agelessness like linen, that the fabric of time just flows across their faces and figures. Lanre-Badmus belongs to that class. The happy, resourceful, and well-liked lifestyle consultant, lawyer and politician recently celebrated her 40th birthday in style. Even though she and her friends and associates had to adhere to the regulations against the spread of COVID-19, the event was still something to brighten the purple pages of the social and high life.
With around 50 individuals, the birthday soirée got underway on Saturday, July 10, 2021, somewhere in the opulent apartments of upper-scale Lagos. As expected, food and drink were in excess, but nowhere near the amount of jollity and heartfelt celebration permeating the milieu. A character like LLB as she is often called, clocks 40 once in every glorious lifetime, so the event was dazzling, to say the least.
Though her social life often appears to overshadow her background and brains, LLB is a well-known lifestyle consultant, CEO of a super company that calls shots in interior decoration, Alice Unique Multi-Venture, proud legal practitioner, politician and philanthropist. A native of Oyo State, LLB is one of those young ladies who has attained matriarch status on account of her arachnoid influence. Moreover, the fact that she is super generous and has helped orphans, widows and the aged out of the pit of despair and penury helps cement that status.
In LLB is the figure of a person who is a soothing influence on those around her — friends or colleagues, relatives and strangers. She is a lover of good things and good people, with a vision to see the world taken over by joy and jollity. At 40, her charm remains unequalled, drawing the love of friends and strangers.
