My O Magazine Shoot – Behind the Scenes

Some of you may remember (from my obsessive tweeting) that in December last year, I was lucky enough to get flown to Cape Town to feature in a real people fashion shoot for O Magazine. I’m no shmodel, but it was great fun to experience life as a model – even if it was just for a day. The O Magazine fashion gals, Fashion Ed Robyn Cooke (styleguidecapetown.blogspot.com) and her assistant Luisa are such experts! I mean, look at the outfits on this rack, without even meeting me, they found my style and knew what would look good on me. I was in love with the Hip Hop jacket and cargo pants, I wanted to take them home. Even the shoes, gimmie! I also got to finally meet fellow blog stars and fashionistas Allison Scotsman (AKA Lady Luxe, aka @TweetsinHeels from skinnybitchesinthemaking.blogspot.com) and Milisuthando Bongela (AKA @missmillib from missmillib.blogspot.com) who are both such amazing girls with awesome blogs. Our feature, Blog Stars is in the current issue of O Magazine (March 2011) which should be out on shelf right now. I can’t wait to see it for myself (yay me), but thought you might enjoy a little behind the scenes…

Kendra’s Tacky Magazine Manicure

Forget the headline that Kendra and Heff are back together, did anyone else notice her tacky black nails? On the latest cover of People Magazine South Africa, the ex Girl of the Playboy Mansion-who might be the new Girl of the Playboy Mansion is looking pretty dang good, holding her son and showing a hot post pregnancy body. But those nails are positively trashy! I love black nailpolish, but Kendra’s black nails that are peeling and chipped look terrible. Especially on the cover of a magazine – Um Photoshop, think you missed something!

Elle Magazine gets Wek Wek Wek

The much anticipated April issue of ELLE magazine is out and features gorgeous Sundanese supermodel Alek Wek on the cover. What’s interesting about this cover, is although Wek is a world-famous international superstar, the cover was shot in South Africa, exclusively for ELLE magazine, and by none other than world-renowned Italian photographer Oliviero Toscani.
