Whose Uncle is This, Shining Bright Like a Diamond?
I love African people because our prayers be on a different level. You just cannot out-pray an African. We use all types of metaphors and what nots.
My year was MADE when I saw this tweet because the shiny suit was everything I needed in my life!
Whew! He is shining BRIGHT and this is how you will shine in the year 2015 indeed. You know that suit is HOT. Literally. It might burn your hand if you touch it. Play around and get third degree burns if you accidentally pass by him and graze his arm.
Also, is this for a wedding? Did the bride approve of this ensemble? He’s trying to outshine every piece of decoration too. And his groomsmen look PISSED that he just made them wear those boring ass brown suits. Looking like “Oh I see what you did.” You know he ain’t let them see his #alphet until the day of and he walked out rocking the fabric of what I imagine Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak is made of. If homeboy runs fast, I bet he’d disappear. Because: bad science.
This suit is the ultimate hater blocker because you’d blind your naysayers if you turn to a certain angle in high noon. It’s like a superhero costume. Your power: harnessing solar energy. I want one.
I just love how flashy African folks be sometimes. Subtlety be hella busy when it comes to us and our special occasions. We be ready to slay and this dude is no different.
So I shared this on my Awesomely Luvvie Facebook page and as always, people wan kill me die with laughter.

“What Silver Surfer wore to church after he got saved.” – SW
Whhyyyy? It’s too early in the morning for these shenanigans! **logs off the innanets**
I can’t even and I can’t odd. Luvvie, your followers are EVIL! I laughed so hard I am now in a coughing fit.
[…] Source: b […]
Lawd team nochill killed it! I almost did a sofa slide when I got to the #icanteven GIF. I needed that laugh!
But REALLY. I have been googling my little seamstress heart out trying to find out what fabric this is. I NEED IT. REASONS. I WANT TO OUTSHINE MY PEERS TOO. Literally.
LUVVIE.
I DONE DIE.
You truely have the best followers of all time. LMAO. I cackled!
Let him out in that sun long enough and he’ll be the “bacon of light” for all to eat at the wedding reception.
Some people just. They. Forget it.
Thank you for this! I misread “beacon of light” as bacon my first time through!
Africa, lions and tigers and zebras and ……Shark skin. Oh my
These comments (from FB especially) are HILARIOUS!!!!
Africans and their flashiness … will take you to the moon and back with a piece of the galaxy (in Uncle’s case)!! You know we all related in Africa… that’s Uncle Moses there!
I must change my name – Not only I am now convinced, I am CONVINT.
Check him out… he went all Interstellar 3D for y’all. Queue up Feds watching by 2 CHAINZ! HAHAHA
Listen, I shouldn’t even be reading these comments and laughing as hard as I am. Lord I sound like I am choking a cat laughing with no voice.
Lmao at ““What did Judas do with his 30 pieces of Silver.” – EP” perfect. Just perfect. This guy looks like he was at a party and got pranked with a bucket of glue and then got silver confetti thrown at him. Either that or hes tired of people judging him so he wore that and went like “try and look at me now!”
All y’all gonna act like you ain’t see the SHOES???
I just scrolled up to see the shoes and almost choked on my blackaroni and cheese. I am finished with all of yall!!!! LOL
I’m cackling and howling at the same time! Please find a photo of the bride. I need to know who agreed to marry this shiny, shiny little man.
“Slide some oil to me…” Aaaaaaagggggghhhhhhhh!!!! I done die!!
Is there any video? I want to know what it sounds like when he walks. Probably like hesitation. If hesitation had a sound that would be it.
OMG… what does hesitation sound like? I must know.
No chill! No behavior! Nunatall!!! OMG!
On another note, it’s really good to see that people are trying to recycle use things to conserve Mutha Erf. This nice man melted all the tinsel from his Christmas tree and reimagined it into a suit. That’s talent and very industrious indeed!
sooooo……where would one purchase this material? I want have a dress made and shine in 2015! Yes uncle!
Ok whoever said he smells like earring backs…. I’m done, dead, flat lined, over….so I thought until I read the magical troll story and “That suit either causes or cures cancer. I’m not sure which” #teamNOChill
Every time I read this, I can’t contain myself. Earring backs? I cannot and I won’t! Thank goodness I’m reading this at home and not work.
None of us has any chill!! I’m still cackling at the jiffy pop pic!! Love the Luvvv Nation crew
“Chipotle burrito”!!!
The title alone had me in a fit of giggles “Shining bright like a diamond”…..and then this gem happened “This solar panel suit is giving me energy and saving me money at the same time” – MW Bwahahaha just stick a fork in me because I am DONE!!!!! #yallnotfinnaworrymetoday
What happen? Why it happen? Will it happen again?!
Lord, these look like my people… they have to be from somewhere in Southern Africa. You know what Luvvie? Apartheid was hard on us, so every chance we get, we shine.
““The silver and gold quartet” – BW”
DEAD and gone.
Uncle Tunde (he looks like an Uncle Tunde, English name Rufus) done took “shine-shine” to THEEE highest level.
I can only pray to outshine my peers like this. #IJN
Dis little suit of mine…. I am CRINE!
I didnt know they made aluminum foil suits!!! #Hotlikefire
