Richard says the three biggest tracks blowing up the dancefloor this summer are Example’s Kickstart, The Black Eyed Peas’ The Time and Stromae’s Alors on Danse. ‘Whenever I play them the people in the clubs go absolutely wild…’, he says.

Speaking of wild, I want you to get a look at this girl’s hair.

This is model booker Rhoda Davids. She told me her quirky ‘indigo girl’ streaks are actually the results of a happy accident. She tried to put in blonde streaks, but they turned out a little orange. Thus, her sister added a bit of mecurochrome to her locks to try and tone them down. Instead, they turned out a vivid purple that actually looks really striking.

Another fun hair trend I’ve picked up on is the ‘witblitz’ crop. Everywhere I go I see girls rocking messy, bleached blonde ‘dos. I reckon it’s v. sexy and would totally love to follow suit, but I’m worried that I’m too pale to pull it off. But look how awesome it looks when done right…

This is the lovely Lize Kay (above). You might recognize her from the telly – she’s a presenter on Supersport, but I think she could get work as a double for Gwen Stefani. Her fab red lippie is L’Oreal Colour Rich Boosting Serum lipstick in True Red. ‘I love that it’s super moisturising and smells like cherries’, she said.

Another extreme blonde? The Girl Who’s Much Cooler Than Me That I Run Into Everywhere, stylist Marguerite Oelofse.

I asked her the secret to maintaining her crop’s condition and she told me it’s ‘sexy men, whips n’ chains and whiskey…’ Thank God she told me, ‘cos I’ve been getting it wrong for ages, drinking all this bloody vodka…

(FYI, Margs’s the little sis of the equally eccentric Arthur Malan-Murison, GQ’s Creative Fashion Director. He was there, looking sharp as usually, but we were too busy swapping recipes to snap a piccie. He also told me that Carlyle’s on Derry do the best chicken livers in Cape Town…)

I did, however, grab one last ‘seriyas blonde shot’, thus I give unto thee the lovely Liezel van der Westhuizen.

Look how tiny Dax looks posing next to her! I simply refuse to be snapped with her as the last time we said ‘cheese’ together, I came off looking like a dumpy li’l tree stump…

Anyhoo, after hitting up the Jameson’s bar…

… I said my goodbye’s to Jill Grogor, the publicity whizz who put the bash together. She was chatting to Lee-Anne Summer’s who STILL won’t give up any deets about the new movie she’s shooting… She has, however, had to dye her fabulous hair jet black!

This shot might be the very last of Lee-Anne’s hair before she crossed over to the dark side… Getting it back to blonde is going to be one moerse journey, so lets hope she’s got lots of whiskey and zexy men to take care of any split ends… Shiny T-sections, however, are something she’s never has to worry about – to keep the oilies at bay and create a photo-ready finish in a flash, Lee-Anne relies on GloMinerals GloMatte finishing powder. (Wellness Warehouse is a stockist).

Before leaving, we ran into Nicky Greenwall and her man, Robin Fryer. (Robin owns modelling agency 20 Management. I always see his models Z cards lying around our office…)

Nicky’s lipgloss was very much in theme with a pool party – Dior Kiss Luscious Lip Plumping Gloss in Pineapple Cocktail. It smells just like pina colada!

Schmoozing and boozing accomplished, Dax and I said our goodbyes and grabbed our goodie bags. (Reee!) Now let’s not pretend you don’t want to know what we snagged…

Ta da!

I used the Garnier Pure face wash this morning and can tell you it’s tres clever in that it can also be applied in a nice, thick layer and used as a masque.

Right, I’m off to hit the sack and watch the very last episode of Dexter. Is it wrong to have a thing for a character that’s essentially a semi-ginger serial killer?

Later girls,

Leigh
