It's Friday and I...


... hate photo-bombers! Seriously. Who is that guy?
... should hear the outcome from Playboy SA soon!
... had some errors with Blogger, but I'm back online and will still blog about the Playboy dinner at Zorgvliet! Rather late than never!
... am so in love with Lady Gaga's new song, Judas.
... was a judge last night at a local high school for their annual pageant! It was so much fun, but really hard to choose just one! I use to take part in that exact competition back in the day! Memories. Gotta love it.
... feel like a change. So I'm gonna start small by putting highlights in my hair.
... have started a Friday tradition: herbal tea and a salad at Java in Stellenbosch with my cousin. Stellenbosch is my happy place.
... want you to enter the NoMU poster competition! Head to the Engen on Orange, look out for the NoMU poster, do a funky pose next to it (be creative), take a photo and mail it to entries@nomu.co.za. And voila, Bob's your uncle. ONE person can win some serious prizes. I'm talking R40 000 in prizes. You have 11 days left to enter! Do it. Do it for the pin-up girls and guy who can't enter this awesome competition!
... have been asked to pose for Breast Cancer Awareness again, but this time I'm involving other women too to do a group photo. The message being carried across is 'women supporting each other'.
... have postponed my Johannesburg trip, but I will visit real soon. Promise.
... am back at gym in full swing, doing loads of cardio, weights, stretching, sauna- and yoga sessions! Let's hope the health binge lasts.
... find that if I browse through pictures of hot models, it motivates me to get in shape and it keeps me focussed with my eye set on the prize. Try it.
... am off to indulge in my newest tradition.

Happy Friday folks!

It's Friday and I...


... love these pics, tweeted by Panascape! Thank you, Robert!
... am not partying tonight! Gym, tan and prepping for a shoot!
... am shooting with Naco Rautenbach tomorrow for the Streetfighters Magazine (UK based, but available in SA too). If we get the perfect shot, it'll be on the cover.
... had 4 'fat days' in a row. It seriously sucks.
... am super amped for the Playboy SA  launch party at Vaudeville, Fez tomorrow night! Come meet the girls from the Cape Town casting, Miss April, Miss May and cover girl, Tracy McGregor.
... also heard the boys from the Stormers and Crusaders are gonna be there. Did I ever tell you about my weakness for a rugbly player?
... went to Caprice in Camps Bay on Sunday and boys from the Sharks and Blue Bulls were there. Yeah, what a night, that's all I can say! I met ALL the players and left with some numbers too.
... made it to the top 100 of the Sports Illustrated New Model Search, thanks to each and every one of you who took the time to vote. Thank you very much! Now hold thumbs for the top 15.
... need you to please squeeze in some last votes for the FHM 100 Sexiest. Vote online by clicking here and type my name, Yolandi Malherbe, in the blocks on the right hand side of the page. Then click VOTE. Just by voting, you could win a PS3 with games and one guy, with a friend, can win a trip to be at the shoot of the overall winner. How awesome is that!
... fell in love with Stellenbosch! I love the vintage shops, the vibe, the people, the art shops and all the coffee shops. I simply can't get enough.
... cannot wait to get this weekend started, then ending it off with my wonderful mother on Mother's Day.

Happy Friday! Hope I bump into you at the Playboy party, so come say hello!

This Weekend I...

... visited friends in Wellington and partied in Stellenbosch. It's nice to get away from the bright lights of the City and surround myself with a different scenery. Two things I did this weekend - and those who know me will probably laugh - which were completely out of my comfort zone, and simply because I'm one fussy chick, were staying on a farm and going to a 'lang-arm' place. What's so odd about this? Well, I love these two things as much as I love public bathrooms and camping in a tent. It's just not how I roll. The whole 'farm thing' was, erm, bearable, because I love animals, but who would've thought that chickens and cows can be so noisy. And then I'm not even going to elaborate on the smells, flies, muddy pot holes and hayfever. Yes, I'm a 'typical girl from the City'. Thank you for that one.

After the torture at this 'lang-arm' place, I was relieved when we could go dancing in Stellenbosch Saturday evening. It was nice to dance to 'real' music again and mingle with fashion-forward people. I even bumped into friends and made new ones.

It's almost impossible to just get a nice picture-perfect normal picture with the boyfriend.

Then we took to the stage for some serious dancing and that's where we stayed for the remainder of the night. The DJ was awesome!

This weekend made me realise, yet again, that it doesn't matter where you are in the world, but if you're with a fun crowd and great people, you'll have fun. No matter what. Yes, even on a farm.

Aargh, counting down the days till Friday. Man, I sometimes feel like I'm living for weekends only. Ooh and pay days.
