I remember when I got my first copy of the latest Dirty Skirts album, Daddy Don’t Disco – I nearly wet myself the whole way through. And then came the track that is currently all over the airwaves – “Rolling Like Thunder.” As much of the fan that I am, I couldn’t actually believe what […]

I wasn’t around at the time, but there is something incredibly cool about New York movies I’ve watched based in the 1950’s. I’ve always loved the vibe. The post-Capone era, when TV had just come about and James Dean was doing his thing. But most of all, I dig the restaurant vibe that one sees […]

I took a double take, nay, a triple take this weekend as I browsed through the property section of the Weekend Argus. The first thing that jumped out of the Vineyard Estates page was the fact that the estate agent featured for the one property had a superimposed bow-tie on. How bizarre, I thought to […]

The last TBG sighting was back in January, which is quite understandable; given the amount of joy and bliss that the great man spreads around the world on a daily basis. He can’t be in Cape Town ALL the time. His attention to detail and time he makes for “the little people” is nothing short […]
