Few modern African ladies have learned the skill of tying their own Gele. In front of this modern Lady on the table is a tablet with a Pinterest fashion page from which some African ladies choose their fashion styles. The blouse of the modern lady in this painting is less than half the size of the blouses worn by African women in the vintage years. The skills of tying Gele as well as other cultural attributes that used to be the pride of African women are disappearing.
