Why I Love Cape Town

This video is awesome.

Football Fever

Two days before the World Cup kicks off, South Africa decided to celebrate with a Vuvuzela Moment.

At 12h00 today, people stopped what they were doing and blew their horns, car hooters or just made noise for five minutes.

It was an incredible moment and got everyone even more excited for the World Cup.

Here are some pictures of the moment around South Africa.

Monday's Mantra

This week is the start of the World Cup bitches!
I believe in the power of Cape Town.
I’m addicted to white wine, coloured tights and Lady Gaga’s Boys Boys Boys.
I wish it was just a little bit warmer.
I’m jealous that I couldn’t get more WC tickets.

The picture above is the giant vuvuzela erected in the centre of Cape Town. It's supposed to be going off every time a goal is scored at Cape Town Stadium. Vuvuzela's can be loud and annoying but the only way to beat it is to join in. So make sure you have yours for the World Cup!

Cape Town Ferris Wheel

Cape Town has got it's own London Eye, although our one is called The Wheel of Excellence.


It was erected in what seems like hours. But actually it was only five days and looks fabulous!


It's located near the opening of the V&A Waterfront shopping centre and offers a 20 minute ride with the option of a VIP carriage. It only costs R70 per person and definitely something I'll be doing soon.

Ready for the World Cup

I've got my mirror caps, my supporter's tee and now I'll be rocking this number from Adidas.



Isn't it fabulous? It's fitted, snug and allows me to support my country in style.

Thanks to one of my lovely brothers I was able to get it. It's a little bit more than I would spend on a sports jacket but I suppose that's what big brothers are for.

Are you guys getting excited for the World Cup?

If not, here is one surefire way to get excited. Even if it's only a little bit. If you haven't seen Nike's Write the Future ad, you're missing out. It's for lack of a better phrase, the shizz.



Enjoy!

An Open Letter to Boys

We’re single girls and while we’re not on a serious lookout for love, we cannot resist the charms of the boys. Not all the boys as we have found out in our recent nights out. We know that it takes a lot of courage to go up to someone you don’t know and try to get their attention. We’ve done it too (once I went up to a beautiful man only to find out he’s gay – totally broke my heart) and it’s nerve-wracking especially when you think you’ll be rejected. So do not see this as only an open letter of advice to the boys in clubs and pubs who think “they’re the man” and can get any girl they want but more of what not to do list in case you were looking for a line.

Just so you know girls do not feel bad about turning down a guy who tries to chat you up with an awful line or gesture. Here’s a little secret, just saying hello and introducing yourself will do wonders. It may not work but you’re more likely not to get a drink in your face or have the manager ask you to leave. That’s right, harass us enough and we will go diva.

So I’d like to say a big Dude Please to the following types of guys:

To the guy who thought “I’m like Visa, I’ll take you places” was going to get him some action, dude please.

To the guys who think that by dancing close enough to us, we’re going to magically let you into our circle and become your love slaves, dude please.

To the guys who follow you around in the hopes you’ll turn around and say “You’re just what I was looking for”, dude please.

To guys who grab your hands and call you beautiful, not as bad as some of the others, thanks for noticing my looks but seriously, dude please.

To the guys who wear wedding rings, dude please.

To the guys who bite you, (this happened to Blue Eyes) that’s gross if we don’t know you and it leaves marks our mothers will see, therefore dude please.

To the guys who are drunk, you don’t make sense and more than not, spill your drink on us (it takes effort to look like that so blotch it up) so, dude please.

To the guys who wear mesh tops, Crocs or white Saturday Night Fever suits, these really bug me and I’m not sure what girl with style and class would want to get all up in that so there a loud dude please!

Let's All Take A Few Minutes...

...and appreciate the beauty of these items I found over on Net-A-Porter.

Whenever I'm feeling sad I try and buy me some happiness. Unfortunately my credit card has been a little abused and I'm anxiously waiting for payday (when it comes around you'll find me camping outside the ATM) so for the moment I'll have to do with just looking.
