Morning everyone. Have you gotten into the group buying phenomenon yet? No? It’s where you pay a hugely discounted price for a product or service because a whole bunch of people are buying it. So it’s like buying in bulk, individually, and it brings down the price of some HDI’s drastically (HDI = Highly Desirable Items). I see dealio is featuring one of CTG’s favourite things of all time – Eyelash Extensions!And they’re going for the insane price of R330. I usually pay R690 for mine, so that’s quite a saving. To buy the Dealio eyelash extension deal click here.
Just calling to say I watched ur new vid. I see it’s ’set in a set in space’.
Loves it, but you already made this video???
It was back in the 1900s, and the song was called ‘Oops I Am Wearing a Tight Catsuit And White Eyeshadow. Again.’
I loved that song. It kinda ‘defined my attitude towards relationships’.
It taught me that ‘even though a man will dive to the bottom of the ocean to get the diamond from the titanic, you shouldn’t be too appreciative of it’, and should rather ‘make square shapes around your head while wearing platform boots’ if you need to ‘channel your excitement into something productive that does not involve eating Bigmacs and throwing up’.
Loved that vid.
I too wanted to ‘break the hearts of spacemen’ via ‘wrapping my junk in red clingwrap’.
But you just try finding red clingwrap in a coastal town in South Africa in the 90s.
I see you have ‘upped your game’ by trading in your clingwrap catsuit for a ‘bullet-frosted nappy’.
I like what you did there.
It’s like you are owning the fact that still being a popstar at the age of 29 makes you ‘want to sh*t yourself’,
while the bullets make sure people know you ‘can be tough if you want to be’, and that ‘once a Southern Girl, always a Southern Girl’.
The nappy also alludes to ‘baby’ of dirty dancing fame.
This is why I love you – you are an artist of many layers.
I imagine the bullets also cut down the ‘chance of of kidnapping’, which is probs quite high, since in the ‘eyeshadow of the law’ you are ’still a child’ (via shaving ur head and shouting Merry Christmas in April).
Hey, nothing wrong with ‘being under a conservatorship even though you have been working for 15 years’.
Some of us find the real world ‘a bit much’.
Willing 2 bet ‘appliqueing your nappy with bullets’ was your dad’s idea (he has ur best interests at heart, promise).
I hope he gets producer credits for that.
Can we just chat about the ‘huge white elephant-inspired wedding dress in the room by Vera Wang’ that you wear from 00:59?
I kinda feel like you already did the wedding thing.
It was really original when you were having your breakdown to ‘go out partying in your wedding dress and sleep with unknown strangers’ just after your divorce.
That was defs a fresh take on things. Not sure this time.
You remind me of the Barbie on my toilet that keeps my toilet paper warm.
I love my toilet barbie, don’t get me wrong.
Just not sure I’d take inspiration from her in my art. But I guess a true artist knows ‘there’s inspiration everywhere’.
Let’s just get serious for a second now too.
I see you have moved on from ‘popping the occasional Ambien‘ to ‘permanent finger drips pumping demerol into your blood stream’.
Now I don’t want to tell you how to ‘live your life’, but even MJ didn’t ‘dance so good on the Demerol’.
But I do understand ‘wanting to feel close to MJ’. I miss him too. We all do.
I stopped watching the new vid when you started ’spraying graffiti all over your Baby One More Time video’. It just hurt too much, like your were ’spraying graffiti over all my heart’.
Kinda hate to admit it but I did enjoy watching your ‘kick the shit out of yourself’. It was hot.
Guess the paps will ‘think twice about getting into a whirlwind romance’ with you in future, in case you injure them. Just not really sure why Jonas Akerlund decided to ‘include the toe shot’. Maybe his artistic vision was to ‘make you appear vulnerable and human’ but I just kinda feel like feet have no place in ur videos.
Anyway, just wanted 2 say hi.
Hope ur new vid gets lots of youtube views. C U soon! xx
I used to make these covet lists for GQ, before I started ‘getting all emotional and stuff‘ in my articles. Doesn’t mean I’ve stopped wanting stuff. Here’s my latest list.
Both from Missibaba.com, the brand with ‘a bag for every lifestage’. These two suit my current one.
Flower diamond ring from Situ
Thierry Mugler Womanity
Just a note on womanity – WHAT a fragrance. I’d be hard pressed to choose between this and Alien, which remains a firm favourite. You know what they say: Once you go Mugler, everything else smells like wishy washy Sunlight Liquid.
Great news for my London readers! Vida is now opening another store in your town, and it’s in Goodge Street. This is in addition to the one in Golden Square. Best you put your mouse here and like Vida UK on facebook, that way you’ll know as soon as the new store is open, and apparently it’s any day now. You know that this makes the prospect of London holidays far more bearable. CTG can really only exist in two places right now – London and South Africa – because there are no Vidas anywhere else. It’s like the law of gravity. Or a law of gravity. Pictured below is Green Point store manager Elias on the right – he’ll be heading up the baristas in the new store. This is good news and sad news – we will miss you Elias!
I love that Vida take their baristas with them overseas. It just wouldn’t be Vida without them!
Got a preview of Clinique’s new winter goodies and so far am loving the Chubby Sticks. They’re like lipsticks that met lip balm at Milky Lane at Cavendish Square and shared a waffle and then became BFFs. Super smooth and glidey, and layerable, probably because they’re made with Shea and Mango Seed butters. And Chubby. They’re a joy to use. And they’ll be at Clinique counters from April 2011, selling for about R175.
My favourite colours: Super Strawberry for the day, and Chunky Cherry for night.
hehe – this is a sweet video where we chat about why we decided to pose naked for Marie Claire. It’s quite a thing posing naked, let me tell you. Luckily it wasn’t too chilly, although it was windy, so there were quite a few shots where well, let’s just say my hair wasn’t covering what it was supposed to cover. Thankfully they chose one of the more modest shots ;) The other blogger ladies I posed with are super cool – check out their blogs if you haven’t already. La Muse writes PopYaCollar and Kim Gray has her own Style blog. We had a lot of fun – and a few glasses of bubbly.

So back in December Brutal Fruit brought Kim & Khloe Kardashianto South Africato launch their new flavour, the deliciously delightful Cheeky Cranberry (click here for CTG’s coverage of the launch party), and we were thrilled to be invited to come and chat to the two entrepreneurs. Kim & Khloe were great fun, and we chatted about all sorts of things, including blogging(they both use Y-Frog for images), one-shoulder dresses(Kim & CTG are both big fans it seems), Birkin Bags(Khloe had just got a gorgeous purple one from Lamar) and this hilarious Ninja-turtle-themed Kardashian family Christmas photo I dug up:
We’ve finally got our act together and are thrilled to be able to show you the interview. With much further ado, here’s the tape. Like a pro, CTG manages to mess up within the first 5 seconds of filming. Anyway, enjoy!
Special thanks to Shaun Blomkamp for filming and editing.
