Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Woke up the day after the Groove Armada party looking like this: I’m still in my party rokkie, but wrapped in a gown in bed. In the wee hours of the morning, when I’d gotten home, one of my old bosses spotted one of my drunken tweets and we ended up having a fat, sozzled two hour […]
Read MoreDid anyone go to Groove Armada? One half of the DJ duo, Tom Findlay, played at Cape Town’s superclub, Trinity, over the weekend. Nickle Pickle and I popped in, ready to get our ‘Superstylin’ on, but unfortunately had to leave just before Tom did his set. (Some ‘friend dramz’ popped up… you know how it goes…) Still, I had a good time […]
Read MoreIt should be pretty clear by now that I love, love, love Crabtree & Evelyn. Their Gardener’s Hand Cream has ruined me for life in that I just can’t imaging putting anything else on my mitts – and I adore their olde worlde, ever so posh packaging. Toootally reckon that if you popped into Buckingham Pallace […]
Read MoreHi guys Sorry for the lack of posts at the mo – I’m busy working like a dog trying to tie up a bunch of loose ends before I run off to Thailand at the end of the week. Currently, I’m trying to stuff a tepid ostrich burger into my mouth while surreptitiously googling things […]
Read MoreWho went to the Roxette concert last night? Flip, I haaate going to shows at Grand West… I always feel like I’m watching a skouspel in (C)anal Walk… and the traffic situaasie is always a frikken ‘mare of note… Still, I really wanted to see Roxette, so it was all worth it. Gotta say, the […]
Read MoreRemember how I fell off my office chair and got attacked by it’s arm the other day? This is the result. Nasty, hey? And FYI, he’s name is Basil. Basil the bruise… Anyhoo, I had to cover him up for the Playboy party and promised to tell you how to do it, so here goes… […]
Read MoreYou know you had a rocking party over the weekend when your Monday morning inbox is overflowing with messages that run along the lines of ‘Hey girl! How about that wild night, eh? Can’t believe I ended up doing <TOTALLY UNPRINTABLE ANTIC GOES HERE…> Those pics we took were totally awesome, but please, PLEASE don’t […]
Read MoreOften, as a journo, you have to interview ‘expert peeps’ for quotes. Thing is, while these people are generally very good at what they do, they’re often seriously shite communicators. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to get ‘creative’ in how I flesh out an answer from a pro… or call them up […]
Read MoreMy friend Les has always gotten a kick outta mixing up her own organic spa-style bath products and is now producing them en masse as African Philosophy. Of all her goodies, I most like the Milky Herbal Bath Salts with Geranium and Jojoba, R100. As geranium oil is a fab astringent with toning qualities, it helps tighten up your […]
Read MoreI think I’m subconsciously determined to destroy my legs one at a time… Check out my killer bruise! I got this baby by leaning backwards in my office chair to pick up a colleague’s phone. The chair ended up flipping over and one of its hard plastic arms stabbed me in the leg. It was […]
Read MoreLast night, my mate Omesh Authar invited me to the premier of Natalie Becker’s new flick, Atlantis: End of a World, Birth of a Legend. This was an intimate li’l affair that took place at his spot in Tamboerskloof and dude really went to town catering for everyone. He laid out enough snacks to feed an […]
Read MoreOooh! I felt so special yesterday… a nice delivery man knocked on my door and dropped off the MASSIVE May issue of Fairlady magazine. Must confess, I never used to be a Fairlady fan ‘cos it somehow felt a bit ‘mumsy’… However, in the last few years, Suzy and the team have done an awesome job of giving it […]
