It's Friday and I...

... am arranging a Hello Kitty baby shower for one of my best friends. Jeez, remind me to not arrange any showers some time soon again. Hard work and loads of details!
... am on the hunt for some seriously cute Hello Kitty decor tomorrow!
... am not engaged! My prank started last night as part of an April Fool's joke, which, sadly, a lot of you fell for. Legend.
... haven't been pranked. Yet. But go on, make my day.
... don't think I won the Rapport 2012 Model Competition, but thank you so much for all the votes and support! At least I was in the newspaper two Sundays a row, right?
... am remaining positive and moving on to the next project.
... need a good party even if I don't have anything to celebrate. Maybe tomorrow night? Girls?
... know what I need! Retail therapy! It has never let me down. Ever.
... have uploaded new photos on my FHM Modelbook page. Check it out.
... am bored and lazy right now. So, no productivity from my side.
... am over this day!

Keepin' it short today. Happy Friday folks!

It's Friday and I...


... have got nothing planned for the weekend! Great, because I need to catch up on some sleep.
... should go jogging too!
... will probably do the weekly mani- and pedicure evening at my house tonight with all the girls.
... am shooting another music on Sunday. This time with Taxi Violence.
... will, just like I always do, share all the behind-the-scenes stuff with you. Also look out for tweets and twitpics from me from the location.
... also have a photo shoot in 2 weeks to build-up a kick-ass portfolio. We're shooting at 15 on Orange, Llundadno and POD Boutique Hotel. It's going to be insane, so watch this space!
... am still on the hunt for lingerie and swimwear sponsors for two of the scenes! E-mail me if you'd like to help or need more info.
... don't remember the last time I won something.
... am looking forward to my sister's beach party next weekend!
... am single and loving it, but (im)patiently waiting for my knight in shining armor. (What's taking you so long?)
... am in need of proper wining and dining (followed by retail therapy).
... am happy and relieved that my Cavalli shades have been returned to me, undamaged.
... just realised that 11 years ago I had my first kiss. Wow, that just made me feel really old!
... hope I'm not mistaken, but isn't it Tracy McGregor's birthday today? Happy birthday hun!

Happy Friday! This is my last free weekend for months to come! It's almost too much freedom for me!

It's Friday and I...


... found this picture on the internet! It's Katy Perry without make-up! Believe it.
... feel so much better about myself now.
... cannot wait for the boyfriend to take me shopping tomorrow.
... am gonna break the bank!
... booked tickets for the J&B Met. I'm still working on VIP passes. Who else is going?
... am gonna throw a massive birthday party this year with a diamonds and denim theme! You can only imagine what I'll be wearing.
... am going on a girls night tonight! Party, party, party! Starting in the Northern Suburbs, then working our way out to Town.
... bought the hottest shoes at Aldo yesterday.
... have an extreme weakness for shoes, dresses and all things vintage! I'd rather buy that instead of food. See? The addiction is baaaad!
... am so in love with Rihanna's latest album. Only Girl is my favourite song at the moment!
... wanna go home and get ready for the big night!

Happy Friday everyone! Enjoy the weekend and be sure to check back Monday to see photos of our girls night.

The Funniest Find!

This is kinda like my fabulous find, except, in this section I bring to you things that are very far from anything remotely close to fabulosity! Here I'll show you my most funniest and hideous discoveries.

Last night my friend and I went window shopping and walked passed a shop with the most horribly dressed mannequins. That's when we knew we just had to go inside and try stuff on. All for a good laugh of course. My friend and I split up and went on a mission to find two of the ugliest outfits we possibly could, then we met up in the fitting rooms.

This is what I chose for her...

And this is the horrendous creations she found for me. ..
I definitely won this round! That creamish excuse for a dress stole the show! We had so much fun and it was a good change from the usual shopping sprees, trying to find something sexy and just feeling fat in everything! Even though my hair was tied back and I wasn't wearing make-up and I went home with no shopping bags, I experienced the true meaning of retail therapy!

Any of you who would actually wear the above kak?

It's Friday and I...


... did some mid-week shopping! There is no way to express my love for YDE dresses!
... know I look crap in these pics, but when I shop, I mean business. I'm not there to look pretty.
... didn't realise how expensive furniture is, or how much I needed, until now.
... am going to do a whole Vintage theme for my new room.
... am really looking forward to moving into my own house. Two weeks and counting!
... am planning a detox weekend. Loads of sleep, water, gym and lounging around. We need those ever so often.
... haven't been exercising at all the last month, but does anyone else hate gym as much as I do?
... am going to try really hard to go to gym at least twice this weekend. If it rains, then you know I actually went.
... have an upcoming sailor-themed party! The outfits are on their way from JHB.
... am worried about my car. It's making really funny noises after I drove on a gravel road. Damn, like I need this right now.
... feel like a romantic getaway somewhere quiet with spa facilities.
... watched Cake Boss on the Discovery channel and I think it's one big act. Bad acting at that.
... can't wait to see my best friends tonight. We have so much catching up to do!
... am really excited! The music video for Jax Panik I danced in, is out on Monday. I will definitely put it on my blog as soon as I get it.
... am also kinda scared to see the video!
... didn't know a fringe is such high maintenance. Gone are the wash-and-go days.
... crave chicken strips with a cheese sauce. Or wait, chili sauce!
... hate being told what to do, what not to do or how to live my life. I'm having a blast and that is exactly what life is all about.
... know I'm going to tell amazing stories to my grandchildren one day.

It's Friday everyone!! Let's get this weekend started. At last.

I'm young, single and I LOVE to mingle!

As I'm approaching the end of Stage 2, I'm starting to get over the whole break-up and heart-break and decided it was time I go out and let my hair down. Which is exactly what I did this last couple of days.

Allow me to share some party pics with you. Some sober. Some completely, er, not.

Pouting. Blame it on the a-a-alcohol.
Girls' nights really cheer me up!
More girls. More pouting. Hey, is that some gay-action in the background?
Pictured here with an old school friend of mine, Johlene.

The little black dress - essential in every girl's cupboard!


Me with my sister again.


Who knew that girls could have so much fun in the bathroom...


Here with two of my best friends, Esme (left) & Kellly (middle)
I have come to the conclusion that partying is great therapy, so I shall go for this therapy from now on. Regularly. If you've just come out of a relationship and are really struggling to deal with it all, get your ass out of the house and go out. Party, dance, dress-up, catch-up and mingle. It worked for me.

Nothing cheers me up like JUICY lingerie shopping!

Just like any girl out there, I love feeling sexy and one way to do it is by wearing sexy lingerie! I decided that it was time I stop feeling sorry for myself (being single sucks if you're still in stage 1) and get some retail therapy. And it worked.

These are also the lingerie I've chosen for my shoot with Robert Miller which takes place in the next 2 days! We're actually doing the shoot for the NoMU poster campaign (for which I will be wearing a playboy bunny suit), but we've decided to do lingerie too, just for fun! Heck, I'm only young once.  Lingerie by Kangol and Temptations.
Visit my blog real soon to read all about the behind-the-scenes stuff! I will take as many pictures as possible. After the shoot, I shall be rewarding myself with the biggest and most calorie-filled pizza money can buy!
