UPDATE: Identify the woman

The hand featured in DNO’s weekend fun segment, we can disclose, belongs to  Marpin’s Nichol Christian-Durand.  Some of you did get it right.

DNO thanks readers who participated in this latest guessing game.

    My cousin can afford to do her nails anyway she wants. It’s just as pretty without it being long and fake. Wish i could see all of the nails of those commenting.

    Dominicans what is wrong with the ladies hand?

    I feeling like giving all you one piece of my mind eh! The lady hails are short clean and healthy! I would definitely eat her food.

    Just because she don’t have long designed Acrulic nails, her hand ugly? What is more ugly that these ladies with some long painted nails, under that so dirty and smelling, they cannot even comb their hair, tie their shoe lace or wash their Vagina properly…let alone cook.
    I would never eat their food!!

    Foolish typical Dominicans!

    It is amazing how fickle some people are based on the comments made on the physical appearance of the lady’s hand. God alone knows the love, help and care this hand has given to others besides the owner. If her hand is bruised,it could be from an accident or cuts while working hard to feed herself and her family or cuts while doing household chores if she has no help.

    Hope she does not take the negative comments to heart since beauty fades, and no one escapes unless they die young.

    Some people can be so negative! Nichole is beautiful inside and out….there is nothing wrong with her hands…they represent who she is: clean, strong, etc. Those of you criticizing the so-called marks on her hand take a minute to look at your sister’s hands, your mother, teacher, etc. and think of all that those hands have been through. Would you make those snide comments to them?

    Why do you want your readers to identify the body parts of women? People are supposed to know what people’s hands look like and what jewelry and shoes people wear? This is only encouraging shallow thinking.

      I agree. In my humble opinion, this is not a “game” and it’s not fun.The influx of offensive comments here has left a bad taste in my mouth and I’d like to think that this is not a true representation of our mindset in Dominica. I will also state here that I think this is irresponsible on DNO’s part. First of all, “ADMIN” reads all comments, and then still makes the decision to post the nasty ones anyway, in spite of the fact that their disclaimer states that they will delete comments that “are abusive, profane or offensive”. I guess they are taking advantage of the subjectivity of the word “offensive” here. Secondly, the persons “targeted” in the past two features are persons who have a relatively public image. What really is the agenda here? Why must we endeavour to embarrass our own people? I humbly suggest that we desist from continuing this childish “game” and focus on things that will serve to uplift our spirits and that of our children. Thank you.

    That is a real, natural and hard working hands. Not one belonging to those prima donas with pretty, manicured hand but with empty heads.

    Dno the truth is you could have chosen a nicer looking hand and that is the truth. To say that is not being critical, its the truth. You should be more discriminating since eventually you are going to reveal the owner of the hand.

    Many say it is “ugly” but say that to those missing a hand or both. Thank GOD her hand is whole and she can hold her loved ones and feed herself.

    99.9999% of your parents to the 100th generation has/had “marked” hands as evidence of toiling so that you can have the “little” you enjoy today.

    Be grateful and stop criticizing Dominicans. You can never see the good in anything always putting others down in an attempt to go up.

      That is because she is not a fake like many who go around with half of their body parts not belonging to them. That is why 50% of marriages end up in divorce. She is being herself – the real deal!

    DNO – I have an Idea – Why don’t you post pics of unique fowers, herbs/plants or the likes native to D’ca and have us your loyal bloggers guess the names and medicinal benefits?(particularly the herbs). This can be labeled “herb of the month” or “flower of the month” this would serve as an interactive classroom for your bloggers. At least we will be learning something. For example, let’s say basil (bazaylik).

    Just a thought since herb was played a vital role in the lives of our D’can ancestors.

        That’s ok “as if” – I didn’t post this and expect to get an award for my idea. It’s a free world and I exercise my freedom of expression and understand that not all will agree with it; that is why I am open for criticism at all times. Nothing is wrong with that. In fact, that too is socializing. It was just an idea and I am fine whether it is accepted or not!

        Truly, there is a lot of growing up to do.
