No frills, no fuss, no crowd-pleasing small talk… just focus on the music… loved them. More pics to follow.
“Thanks Cape Town… I’ve had a hell of a time.” - Anthony C. Followill
So ambiguous, so loaded… what does he mean??????
I know it’s naughty, but it’s just. too. hilarious.

I hate my body, but it’s not my fault.
It’s the MAGAZINES’ fault, cos they publish pictures of thin people.
It’s HOLLYWOOD’s fault, because they choose to depict an aspirational lifestyle.
It’s FASHION’s fault, because they make clothes I can’t fit into.
I’m going to tweet about it angrily, right after I tweet about how hungover I am from last night’s wine and food tasting, where I ate seven courses excluding dessert, drank a bottle and half of wine, drank 3 shooters and smoked half a pack of cigarettes.
I’m sick of having to hate my body because of the media.
Enough is enough.
I hate my body, but it’s not my fault.
It’s the ADVERTISER’S FAULT, and it’s THE GYM’S fault, for only showing pictures of slim healthy people, even though it logically makes sense because they are trying to talk to people who value being slim and healthy.
They make me feel fat and disgusting.
So do those skinny bitches who tweet about ‘how much they love running’.
I hate running and I hate anything to do with exercise.
I especially hate people who talk about it.
I hope you drown in your own sweat or get strangled by your monokini and stop making me feel like shit because I can walk up a flight of stairs without breaking a sweat.
The problem isn’t THAT I DON’T EXERCISE.
The problem is that SO MANY OF THOSE AWFUL SKINNY PEOPLE DO, AND I HATE THEM.
I hate my body, but it’s not my fault.
It’s KFC’s fault for serving such TEMPTING DELICIOUS FOODS.
And it’s VEGETABLES’ fault for being so not-filled with salt and addictive flavourants and fried in fat.
It’s those adverts for WEIGHT LOSS AIDS’ fault.
Why should companies make money out of HELPING PEOPLE BE HEALTHIER? BASTARDS.
Why should I EAT LESS? The media is FILLED with things telling me to eat less.
Well I’ll show the media I have my own mind by EATING MORE.
Take that media!
And when I’m done eating more than is healthy for my height and size, I am going to slag the media off for making me feel so shit about my body.
I hate my body, but it’s not my fault.
Sure, I smoke, but if you’re gonna lecture me about how ‘bad smoking is for your lungs and overall body functioning’ then PUH LEEEEEEZE get out of here you self-righteous new age ponce.
Smoking is my THING, okay? So is drinking. And eating.
So what if instead of dealing with issues in my life I prefer to EAT UNTIL I’M IN A CARB COMA.
And SO WHAT if my big nights out make me feel like a rat that got run over on Long Street.
SO WHAT if two bottles of wine, five shooters and 4 cocktails contains more than three times the average adult human’s daily calorie allowance. I LIKE TO HAVE FUN OKAY.
It’s not MY DRINKING that’s the problem.
It’s magazines showing slim people looking happy that’s the problem.
My need to ABUSE THE MIRACLE OF NATURE THAT IS MY BODY is NOT why I feel filled with loathing every time I look in the mirror.
The fact that I wheeze every time I need to slightly exert myself is NOT why I hate my body.
I hate my body because of THE MEDIA AND THEIR CONSTANT REMINDER OF HOW GOOD HEALTH CAN LOOK.
They should be BANNED for showing slim people and an aspirational lifestyle. People who are good examples make me feel LIKE SHIT.
I hate my body, but it’s not my fault.
It’s EVERYBODY’S fault but my own.
Came out today. Love this ad done by friendlies Paige & Karin. Paige also wrote a few books. I interviewed her here once.
It’s a great issue, packed with all sorts of views on the whole women and body and looks debate. Can’t wait to get stuck in. Get it – it’s the november issue with Candice Swanepoel on the cover.
This is Zola. She counted me for census 2011. Am happy to report it was quick and easy.
- Staying off twitter
- Getting out of town
- Snuggling with puppies (like Fran & Bo above)
- Making plans for the future
- Drinking tea in bed (an old favourite, newly rediscovered)
- Pushing your body at a new form of exercise (this weekend I went for it on the spinning bike. Stiff legs, but in a refreshing new way)
- reading a good book really slowly (as opposed to getting in as much as you can without eating into the seven hour sleep budget)
Ah…
Hey… it happens.
Loving the new Accessorize Spring / Summer and beach ranges. Went into the store and had a fight with myself over whether you could wear a leopard print bikini with a leopard print kaftan. The lovely store assistant calmed things down by saying that was quite acceptable, and also suggesting that I get a floral bikini to wear under the leopard print kaftan. Crisis averted! Here are some of my best pieces:
Such pretty floral sandals.
Floral bikini aptly called ‘The Amalfi’.
Stunning leopard print kaftan that caused all the drama in the first place.
A floral fan. I MUST have one for beach times!
The bikini. Worth having a fight with yourself over.
And most excitingly, Accessorize are giving away an iPad 2 with a gorgeous Accessorize iPad cover on their facebook page! Just head on over there and enter by CLICKING HERE!
So much goodness, where does one even start?
Definitely one for the Holiday Bucket List. This is the Jade Mountain Resort at St Lucia. Let’s pretend we are there. Visualise it. Smell the smell of the sea air.
Imagine standing here at sunrise. Maybe some tropical birds cawing somewhere.
Having your muesli and Jasmine tea by the pool before your massage.
Can you smell the sea?
A little meditation in the pool? Ahhhhhh……
It’s so ridiculously flamboyantly delicious. So Versace, so fun. Might even break my neutrals obsession for it. Also shot by my Gucci loves, Mert & Marcus. Reminds me of when I was a wealthy hotel heiress, before I spent my inheritance on macarons, iPhone photo apps and sunglasses. Basically the good old days.
