Last week I hit up the Cosmo Lingerie party held at the Upper Eastside Hotel in Woodstock. I nearly didn’t make it ‘cos I was riddled with flu and had limbs that felt like heavy sacks of cement, but I klapped a few Corenza’s and dragged myself off to the show.

Now before I get sidetracked, let me tell you about the bash… Every year Cosmo puts out a lingerie edition that’s packed with zexy modelle like Tracy McGregor and Lieschen Botes (the one friend I won’t introduce to my boyfriend for obvious reasons…) To celebrate, they hold a party that includes a fashion show of all the undie brands featured in the mag. Think La Senza, Woolies’ Temptations, etc, etc. This year, some of these brands had little ‘installations’ as well, like Triumph that made use of live ‘dummies’:

This year, the show was a little Victoria’s Secret inspired that the girls wore a little whimsical razzle along with their lingerie, however, I’m glad to report that there wasn’t a single clichéd angel wing in sight. Alas, I don’t have too many pics to show you, but you can pop on over to Karis Piss’s blog  to check out her shots or visit Cosmo’s website. 

Myself, KP and her mancandy, actor/Cosmo Sexy Calender Man Bjorn Steinbach and I were seated second from the front row, but on the side, so it was difficult to take proper snaps of the show. Also, my bloody camera’s full to bursting with piccies I’m too lazy to delete so this slows down my flash. Thus, I didn’t manage to take many fabulous ramp shots. Still, Cosmo was kind enough to send me this one of Tracy McGregor:

After a seriously entertaining show that included a bit o’ burlesque feather flapping and a musical number by Arno Carstens and Albert Frost (he used to date a mate of mine back in the day and is a total honey, just so you know…) I got down to schmingling.

Peeps on the scene included Nolunthando Meje rocking yet another rad-looking ‘do:

Actor and comedian Sivuyile Ngesi was also out and about…
