My friend Leah is a fab photographer who just so happens to specialise in shooting chicas in their birthday suits. She recently shot one of my little sister’s weddings and explaining to the priest that our happy snapper usually shoots covers and centrefolds for Playboy was – ahem – tres fun.

Anyway, Leah threw a partytjie with a difference the other day; an ugly jersey party. Essentially, you had to rock up in a hideous jersey and then part with it upon leaving so it could be donated to street people feeling the chill. Rad idea, right?

Alas, being in Cape Town, it was hard to find jerseys ugly enough to be truly heinous so most of us ended up looking like try-hard hipsters wearing fugly clothes on purpose.

..

Anyway, I thought I’d share ‘cos the concept is utterly fabulous; you get to have a jol and do your bit to make the world a warmer place. So what are you waiting for girls? Send that mass mail now sommer and start organising an ugly jersey party of your own.

Love, love
