Whites Never Voted For The ANC: Malema
06 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
I can’t help it. I have to write about this. It’s too good not to write about. Insanity is always funny. In this case the insanity comes once more from the king’s jester, Julius. He said yesterday that he didn’t drive white people away from voting for the ANC, because they never voted for the ANC in the first place.

The Hairy-Chested Man’s Car
01 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
The moment was like that of a bedraggled and thirsty bandito stumbling across a well in the middle of the Mexican desert. Or Henry Stanley finally finding Dr. David Livingstone. It was catharsis. It was all I could do to stop myself from sinking to my feet and sobbing gently, right there on the sidewalk of 14th Street. I was standing in front of a bona-fide, American issue 2010 Chevy Camaro SS. Click link for rest of article.

Last month we told you that Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers was spotted in Cape Town. But what is he doing here? If you guessed having sundowners in Camps Bay or playing with the cheetahs at Spier, you would be incorrect. According to the upcoming edition of Heat Magazine, he is currently a guest at Montrose Place. Yes, as in, the rehab facility.

Why You Need To Watch Formula One Again
31 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
In my humble opinion, Formula One is a sport unparalleled in prestige, tradition, wealth, gamesmanship, sportsmanship and simple, old fashioned bravado. Sure, it’s had its low moments over the years, but name me a sport which hasn’t. The thing is, all this doesn’t automatically mean good entertainment. However in 2011, they really have got it right. Here’s why.

27 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
A user at reddit.com promised that he’d put up a billboard in response to Harold Camping’s failed billboard campaign that claimed the rapture was on its way. The billboard reads: “That was awkward”. Somewhat of an understatement I think.

Having covered off flyhalves and loose forwards thus far over the past weeks, Morrey continues to select his Bok world cup squad, position by position. This week’s selection focuses on the back three – best done as a unit as some players can oscillate between wing and fullback.

Gran Touring Like A Boss: We Drive The New BMW 650i Convertible
25 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
A car launch is a wonderful thing, and I do my utmost to appreciate every aspect of it. The flights, the airport lounges, the car itself, the expensive hotel, the expensive food, and then all of that repeated on day two. And every now and then a manufacturer will just fire the accountant and go nuts. Which, I imagine, is exactly what I’ve just experienced on the national launch of the BMW 6-Series Convertible.

Karl Lagerfeld Being Weird Again – This Time Pushing The “Murban”
23 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Maybe it is time for Karl Lagerfeld to stop being weird. If it is not making a life-size, chocolate sculpture of his boyfriend six decades younger than him, then it’s fashion fails like this. The male “urban turban”, also known as the “murban” is what Karl is hoping metrosexuals worldwide will be sporting this winter. Pic of bf Baptiste Giabiconi wearing one inside.

If Africa Was Unoccupied…
23 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
In my Grade Eight IsiZulu class, our set book was a novel set in the early 1800s. It was a fictionalised account of what the Iron Age existence of a tribe living in KwaZulu Natal would have been like – before the white man arrived in his ships; even before Shaka Zulu’s fearsome warriors began their raiding expeditions. It was a well-written book and within its pages I was transported back to those simple years when the greatest challenge of the day was finding a cave where iron ore could be mined from. But the book was horribly flawed in one respect. Click link for more..

Both Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Arnold Schwarzenegger are the latest in a long line of high profile men who have allowed the smaller of their two heads to gain the upper hand when making crucial decisions.

The Great Cape Town Airport Parking Scam
19 May 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 33 Comments
A few weeks ago I dropped off La Muse at Cape Town International airport, ahead of her buying trip to three corners of the world. We ate at the Spur (as you do) and when I paid for my parking ticket I was shocked to see I had been charged R105. I didn’t have the […]

Not Good Enough – It’s As Simple As Asking The Correct Question
16 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 11 Comments
Surely if you were paid to act as the TV match official to assist a referee controlling a rugby game, you would pride yourself on your capacity to communicate. You don’t have to run anywhere; you don’t have to blow anything and you don’t even have to get out of your pyjamas for the Lord’s sake. All you need do is watch the game and share an opinion if asked. Easier money than a Bangkok rub ‘n tug parlour operator. Click for more.
