Way-back-when-Wednesday (Brenda Fassie)

Don't ask me what made me think of this gem by Brenda Fassie, because I don't know. All I know is that she fascinated me as a kid and I used to love watching these kids at their 'wedding'.



I truly believe that she served a very important purpose and none of her struggles were in vain. Her smile was so REAL.

PS- those crying kids are killing me lol
PSS - I haven't been to a wedding ko kasi in a while. Someone needs to get married real quick. And please don't have your wedding at a fancy place. I want a tent in the hood lmbao

Way-back-When-Wednesday (Montell Jordan)

I was singing this song a couple of days ago and I just HAD to post it here.



OMW! I love the plastic on the couches, the dance moves... I love it all. I still love this song lmbao. I NEED that gigantic gold chain that the woman, at the dinner table, is wearing. For real!!

Iron Man tooo?

Its no secret that this year has been amazing so far. I have so much to be grateful for, but not everyone wants to hear it. In the past 2 months I've been listening to friends lament about boring jobs, cheating men, lack of men, too much debt and even the fact that Usher calls himself 'Daddy' (true story).

So I figured maybe 2010 is not a great year for a lot of people. Well... This is not true for Robert Downey Jnr a.k.a my inner-little-boys-favourite-marvel-character-come-to-life: IRON MAN! Yes. Iron Man 2 is just a month away from release. When I went to go see the first one, I wasn't really expecting anything marvelous. But I was pleasantly surprised.

Seeing the trailer made me believe that Iron Man will have some hard times, I wouldn't want Mickey Rourke as my nemesis, but he will triumph. Yep. 2010 is a good year for both Iron Man and myself. Watch the trailer it will definitely excite your inner-little-boy. Mine is running around the room screaming 'when can we go see it? Is it on tomorrow mom?'

Cape Town Gals

I am originally from Jozi and I will always be a Jozi girl. But I live in Cape Town and recently I was interviewed by one very smart and ridiculously sexy woman: Cape Town Girl.

I recently did an interview with her (pic above) and it was fantastic. Check it out HERE.

I have just recently started getting into all things girly: lip gloss, mascara, sexy high heels and ROUGE (aka red lipstick). So it was absolutely amazing to be interviewed by a lover of day spa's, designer sunglasses and lounges around in lingerie.

I am really loving this journey. It keeps getting better ;)

Friday tune for girls & guys

I've just added a Lauryn Hill song to my set list and I thought a song Ms Hill would be the perfect Friday song. Hoowee we miss you Lauryn. I know she's gonna come back better and badder. She is the truth.



It's Friday so girls watch out for the guys who only want THAT THING that thing...

See you at the gig!!

I LOOOOVE cake wrecks!

Sorry for silence. As per usual, there is good news then bad news then good news then bad news etc etc. I wont bore you with the details.

While Marcee and I were over at cake wrecks we spotted a classic post. I laughed so hard for so long... OMG!

Okay so Dilbert fans will know more about this than me, but apparently his dog loves exorcising people of their stupidity.

Some people wanted that quote on their co-workers cake and got this instead:

Stupity LMBAO! Hoo.. heeee. haaa.. heee.. hoooo

Way-back-when-Wednesday (SWV)

Oh my goodness, it's been a while since I've even thought about SWV.

There wasn't a girl my age who didn't know the words to this song. I remember how horrified I was the first time I saw Coko's nails. I had never seen anything like that in my entire life. I remember thinking that she obviously doesn't have to wash dishes or scrub the floors LMBAO!!

SWV - Weak

Shahrukh Khan!!

Yes, you read right. I'm big on Bollywood movies and I have a tiny crush on actor Shahrukh Khan. Ever since I saw him in the remake of Devdas! I love that he doesn't 'over act', he may get a little intense at times, but I dig that.






I'm watching Chak De India, a movie about hockey. I'm really enjoying Mr Khan (pun intended) LMBAO. He's alright. I'm enjoying the movie as well.





I read he was in the country... Eish, but he's in Bloem! And anyway, he is too old (read grown and sexy) for me. 43? I'm still a baby!

I wish I could sing

That's what I get from people, almost 80% of the time, as soon as I tell them that I sing.

Growing up singing was not a big deal, it was just something I did. I struggled to with finding my 'voice' for a bit when I was younger, but now I'm comfortable with the way I sound. I am thankful for my gift, but there is one skill I'm rather envious of... RAPPING!!

The first time I heard rap, I was like 'I wish I could do that'. I even tried: in PRIVATE, I guess I had a feeling I would suck LOL!! So I gave up on rapping, but I admire those who can, especially the females. Came across this clip (over at pinboard) of My Dynamite doing a version of Lauryn Hill's Doo-wop (that thing).



I love how she has made it her own. NICE!!

A Thousand Splendid Suns

3 of my friends read the book and told me that I would love it. So when my friend Zoe was done with the book she dropped it off here and I started reading out of curiosity. I couldn't put the book down. I refused to cook and I got very creative at meal times. I had to balance my plate on my knee while I was sitting comfortably on the sofa with the book stuck to my face.

I laughed, I shouted at the book, cried, shook my head though some chapters etc.

PS- I am yet to read The Kite Runner (dont pull that face). Khaled Hosseini has my respect :)

Meet Joe Black

Meet Joe Black is on TV and I'm quite loving watching it again. I guess having this damn TV connected does have it's benefits.

Peanut butter never looked tastier!!

The visit is going well. We are going to the putt putt place tomorrow- YAY!!!

Oh what the heck...

I know I said a piece of furniture would be my Sunday sexy, but I'm a single girl!!

So as not to over-indulge, I have one pic of a particularly DAPPER rapper (I'm a poet and I didn't even know it).

Did I say ONE?? LMBAO! I couldn't stop once I got started. The man is lot like his music: once you get into it, you just can't stop. I've been bonding with 'One day it'll make sense'. G.O.O.D music indeed (even though it was way before Ye)

Brothers kids here for 2 weeks...

wooooosah!! I'm rubbing my earlobes and trying to calm down. My beloved niece and nephew are here to visit for 2 weeks and I fetched them from the airport less than 2 hours ago.

IN LESS THAN 2 HOURS:

We now have a TV... Connected and EVERYTHING (haven't had one switched on in this house since august '08)

In all fairness a good friend found out about Marcee and I being TV-less (poor us- sarcasm) and she offered to let us use her TV. We kept it on the floor in Marcee's room because we dont see the need for a TV. The NEPHEW decided we needed to have it on because he is BORED (he says that every 2 minutes)

My nephew has taken his pants off... Because it hot!!

My niece has decided her iPod is much more interesting than us. I feel a hundred years old!!

I'm thinking of turning to the bottle. Poor aunty!!!

AND... AND... There has already been one death threat. Nephew wanted to kill niece ha ha ha!

Way-back-when-Wednesday (227)

My parents and I used to love 227, although I think I would enjoy it more now that my English vocab has expanded LMBAO!!

227 (theme song)

This Giraffe made my day :)

So I was having an ICKY day and so I went over to Bridgets blog and I saw this site: cake wrecks, so I figured looking at cake is probably better than eating it... I've been craving cake since Sunday.

So the site turns out to be cool, but I didn't laugh out loud until I came across this gem below:



LMBAO!! It's too funny. SMH at someone actually selling it :)

Hope it makes your day too!!

In the past month and a bit...

I've ignored this blog (obviously), but I have been doing good things... PROMISE!!

I am working on recording a full length album (UNVEILED), which is costing me an arm and a leg, + GREEN getting lots of love on radio stations across South Africa. Yay!!

"If you're a teacup girl say yeah yeah..."

And... THE CAKE!!!

Attended Skouspel (at Grandwest casino). No judgements! It was good & a friend of mine was performing in the show.

Karin Zoids performance was a highlight for Marcee!!!

That lady aked for a hug after I did the second song, so I obliged :)

And Marcee found a strange pet (more on that later)

His name is Max...

Okay, I'm back!!!.... For real this time!!!

Way-back-when-Wednesday (Mobb Deep)

My best friend/sister/soul/manager is a LOVER of hip hop. Mr Carter (Jigga) is one of her favourite-st rappers of all time. She knows all the lyrics to songs I have never heard of.

So today I let her pick something from 'way-back-when'. she picked her one of her FAVOURITE RAP songs of all time *drum roll*

Quiet Storm by Mobb Deep


This is how happy it makes her:


I LOVE THIS GIRL!!!!

David after the dentist

I saw this video on YouTube and thought it was kind of cute. The reason I say kind of is because at first I was smiling because I understand that the meds were making him feel woozy. But then I got a little teary when I saw the confusion on his little face.

I think I'm going to be one of those mothers that cries ALL THE TIME! I think I will cry when my kids are happy, sad, sleeping, singing etc Marcee agrees & is thinking that she might not go to any recitals with me ha ha ha ha!!!



She is such a good friend she says she will sit 2 rows behind me and then offer me tissues like some kind stranger when I start crying because my son the rock just appeared on stage LMBAO!!!

Sunday Sexy

Marcee and my little brother had me hooked on Samurai Champloo and then again on Afro Samurai...


Well, they did it again. This time they have me hooked on How I Met Your Mother. So today's Sunday Sexy is the lead character Ted Mosby, played by Josh Radnor. I'm sure Josh is a nice guy, but it's TED MOSBY that is this Sunday's Sexy-ness!












Ted is a cutie and he's a die-hard romantic, plus he is AN ARCHITECT LMAO!!!


Some dedicated soul even has an-all-about-HIMYM-blog. Yep, that ish is addictive.

Way-back-when-Wednesday (Doogie Howser MD)

OMG!! I used to have the BIGGEST crush on Doogie. I think that's why I enjoy How I Met Your Mother, although Barney isn't my crush (Ted is LOL).

A 16 yr old Dr? Come on, how can you NOT love it? And his friend Vinnie was the best :)

Doogie Howser MD, was my shit!!!



Aaahh, the good ol' days!!
