Modupe Ozien Ozolua, the famous body enhancement expert has posed almost nude for a debut cover of a new publication, Mania, which would be on the stands soon.
The entrepreneur cum socialite, bares it all in a rare steamy shoot for the fashion magazine published by celebrity photographer Kelechi Amadi-Obi and famed stylist Dimeji Alara.
Ozolua, who expresses no regret posing for the publication that will hit newsstands in April, said she was happy to have done so because she feels more comfortable appearing in that manner irrespective of what others feel.
“My worry was more for my son (Seun). But he was more than ok and cool with it. Itâ€
Ozolua added that there is a stronger message behind the shoot. “This shoot is not about nudity or obscenity. It is about the beauty of a woman, the power and strength of every woman. Itâ€
Mania takes a giant step as Ozolua appears topless on the cover and some inside pages. Her back is adorned with a tattoo, while she sports a disc-shaped hairdo which is reminiscent of a flat-topped Ascot hat.
The magazine was launched at the Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos Southwest, Nigeria, last Sunday.
Ozolua is the CEO of Body Enhancement Limited and president of Body Enhancement Annual Reconstructive Surgery (BEARS) Foundation in Nigeria.
The 38-year old lady, who became very uncomfortable with her breasts after breast-feeding her only son, took to body enhancement after her she went for a cosmetic surgery to restore the rotund shape of her breasts.
She claims to help people “achieve an admirable weight, attain the best standard of beauty and be fashionable without regard to ageâ€.
