I thank God every year for the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate – a place where I can truly be myself in the comfort of like-minded people who understand the difference between being classy and being clever. A place where I feel protected from the riff-raff and can discuss the latest issue of Vanity Fair with those […]

I’ve just been sent these brand new pics of the new Cape Town International Airport, which is opening this weekend! Could someone please check who those bags belong to? What an amazing occasion! I was just at DF Malan last week (en route to Jan Smuts) and the dust from the building over my car […]
I attended a full day at the Audi High Performance Driving Course at Killarney race track in Cape Town. I don’t know if it was because of that speeding fine I got, but my boys at Audi Centre Cape Town felt I couldn’t carry on driving the R8 or the TT without attending the course. […]
You might have spotted the new Cosmopolitan Mag on the shelves which happens to be their annual Beach Babe Summer Special, which includes the 66-page Swimwear guide. I can confirm that is is very hot. I slept next to mine the first night I had it. We spooned. Back to the point of this […]

Just because. All the professional behind-the-scenes pics are right here. The boys…the boys! You’ve seen that face somewhere before? The venue – shame.. […]
It’s common knowledge that I am a big fan of the Woolies JT1 lingerie range (I’m not alone, it seems) and have never seen a better example of why this is, as on Saturday night at the JT1 fashion show which took place at Cape Town’s FTV Cafe. Every single girl involved was an absolute […]

I don’t often suffer from diva-like behaviour. Not because I’m not capable of it, but more because I seem to deal with people who understand good hospitality, rendering the notion impossible. Let’s take Cosmopolitan magazine, for example – who on Thursday night hosted the 2009 Comopolitan Lingerie Fashion Show at Wembley Square. I […]
