If you have noticed that your man has been coming home with items that he has never purchased before, then know he is a victim of young, hot, and beautiful hawkers taking over the city. And that your impulse buying might leave you hungry the next day, or you might have a deputy, a hawker, on your tail because her good looks will not let him pass if he appreciates the finer things in life.

A spot check by The Nairobian revealed that they are not just ordinary hawkers who have been stereotyped as dirty, old, and cruel by society, but a new team of traders whose smiles bring down both men and women in the city. A good number are also well-educated.

Men can't resist beautiful thingsIn fact, they sell anything - from utensils to women's clothing - to men who are unable to say no to beautiful things.The "gang of young, hot, and gorgeous ladies" is slowly taking over the hawking business in Nairobi from traditional hawkers, whom Kenyans have viewed as an ugly, ragtag team crowding and making noise in the city.The young ladies are too good, and their smiles will trade your money for the items they are selling in a career that is rarely respected by those in power and customers.The ladies, who know men can't avoid adoring them, are stationed in strategic areas across the Nairobi Central Business District. Others are scattered in other areas where there is a high volume of people, such as flyovers, roundabouts, and bus stops.Amina, a 26-year-old hawker, said that customers notice them from far away, even on poorly lit streets at night, empowering their charming smile to manipulate their pride and stinginess for another impulse buy."I hawk across the city depending on people's traffic flow. I sell my items on behalf of a powerful businessman who imports them from Turkey or China, depending on the season," Amina says.
