When Fashion Meets Comedy: Bon Qui Qui for Alexander Wang

To promote his Spring 2013 collection, Alexander Wang teamed up with Anjelah Johnson, Simon Doonan, and A$AP Rocky (amongst others) to create this video: The notoriously hilarious Bon Qui Qui is now working at a T by Alexander Wang store, and this ad definitely proves that there is no getting the ghetto out of theContinue reading “When Fashion Meets Comedy: Bon Qui Qui for Alexander Wang”

Local Music #FTW: Bittereinder and Shane From the Tutus

I love a good collaboration. For this song, Afrikaans hip-hop/electro/synth/everything-cool-is-what-we-do group Bittereinder (with Peach on production, Jaco on rap and Louis as producer and visual artist) teamed up with the lead singer of Desmond and the Tutus, Shane Durrant, and came up with something “quite nice”: I think it’s hilarious that Shane is rapping, andContinue reading “Local Music #FTW: Bittereinder and Shane From the Tutus”

A Week In Paris (Part Three): The Louvre

Apartment Building Life: Don’t Believe the Hype

Yesterday, I had a brush with the gritty side of apartment life. After resigning myself to the fact that doing a load of laundry would cost me R12, I went up to the 14th floor of the Broadway apartment building in Braamfontein, to check out the facilities, so I could know exactly what I wouldContinue reading “Apartment Building Life: Don’t Believe the Hype”

New Music: Unofficial "Comeback songs" from JT and Destiny’s Child

It seems like 2013 is going to be the year of the “hey, I’m still here” single. Almost two weeks ago, Destiny’s Child announced that they would be releasing a new single, which would be part of their Love Songs album. The album is going to be made up of their most romantic singles, releasedContinue reading “New Music: Unofficial "Comeback songs" from JT and Destiny’s Child”

A Week In Paris (Part Two)

After we eventually met up with the cab driver, we drove to the hotel in silence; half-asleep and, I believe, not fully conscious of where we actually were. I don’t think it was easy for any of us to understand that we were actually in Paris: we’d survived our first overseas flight. (That’s a bigContinue reading “A Week In Paris (Part Two)”

A Week In Paris (Part One)

Last December, I had my very own once-in-a-lifetime experience, when I set off for Paris with my family. I had never been overseas, and I was waiting until I had an amazing job that paid me a jetsetter’s salary before I even looked at flight prices, so I was incredibly excited when my dad gaveContinue reading “A Week In Paris (Part One)”

On Repeat: Kid Cudi

This song from Kid Cudi is one of my favourites at the moment. It’s like a love song, but for sensitive stoners. Watch the video, and you’ll understand:

[Teaser] Versailles, With A Twist

In my last post, I promised those of you that are still out there reading this blog that I would be back with my first “real” post for the year in about two weeks, and here I am now. Few things make me happier than a steady connection to the internet, that doesn’t come withContinue reading “[Teaser] Versailles, With A Twist”
