Have I introduced you to Luna the Fashion Kitty yet? Well best you make her acquaintance. Here is her facebook page. And here are a few more pics of her.
Luna gets loads of fanmail, and some of her fans send her clothes and hats and one even sent her this fancy pants bamboo kitteh bed
Oh the life of a fashion kitty!
Conceptually beautiful. A music video with a strong narrative and a twist in the tale! Loved this.
Fashion and beauty brands are upping their video output as they accept that watching quick ‘n easy snatches of consumerist content has that ’soap opera’ addictive factor. The Longchamp web show will showcase ready-to-wear pieces, handbags and shoes, and will document the life of a fashion magazine editor just to give it, well, a bit of a storyline. Others to start producing web video content include Mango (above( who recently did their What Shall I Wear, and British menswear brand Dunhill got on board with a series of videos entitled Day 8.

“Durex respects and supports the rights of women and men to have a healthy, safe and fulfilling sex life. The statements that appeared on our South Africa Twitter feed yesterday were posted by our PR agency in South Africa – Euro RSCG. They were offensive and inappropriate and do not reflect the views of the Durex brand. We apologise unreservedly for the fact that this has happened and have already taken steps to ensure that this situation cannot arise again.”
Faisal Hashmi, Marketing Director
And there you have it. You guys are forgiven. Just remember:
I love these guys! So SAfrican but they also pull off such a universal feel. Plus I’ve had Schizo on my workout playlist for MONTHS so I’m so glad they made a video. The plot is super fun – they kidnap and torture themselves. Such slick production with that fantastic sense of humour so few bands in Cape Town possess. Enjoy!
Loving my Lila Rose sleep dress (above). So girlie and pretty, perfect for summer too. Makes you feel less bad about wearing your pyjamas around the house all day. Click here to see the Lila Rose catalogue. They make some gorgeous stuff, see below. And you can shop online.
and absolutely LOVE this gown:
What to say about the official Durex South Africa twitter account? I’ll bet there are all kinds of uncomfortable meetings going on at Durex HQ right now. People flinging phrases around like “Hey we got 2 000 followers so we must be doing something right” and “There’s no such thing as bad publicity! Ha ha… ah… cough.”
The ‘but our target market loves it’ justification didn’t really help their case either. In fact, it made it worse. So the Durex target market are mysogynistic retards who ‘believe in the rights of woman’ (sic)? They then proceeded to vomit up THE BIG BOOK OF SEX JOKES you used to find in bathrooms in the early nineties along with Andy Capp comics.
‘Shutting women up’ with their penises? ‘Licking women in the front and poking them from the back’? Why, what lovely people you are speaking to. How funny, your bro-jokes from the 90s. How aspirational, the lifestyle you advocate. NOT.
Please, enjoy these four gems from what has to be the case study for the twitter disaster of the year. There are loads more here.
Durex, you guys deserve better than this. editor@capetowngirl.com – I can recommend a great social media management company.

Phone rings.
Me: Hello?
Secretary: Hello Alex Robert Mugabe is here to see you.
Me: [...]
Secretary: Hello?
Me: Robert Mugabe?
Secretary: Yes. Can you come down?
Me: Um, can you tell him I’m in a meeting?
Yes, not every day you get a phonecall like that. A man resembling a certain not-very-loved African dictator came to present me with a Nando’s Meal-for-6 voucher today, in honour of the new Meal For 6 promotion Nando’s is running. The site goes live at 4pm, so head on over to mealfor6.co.za for more details. And look out for the TV ad – starring our favourite dictator and 5 of his friends.
You can also win yourself a meal for 6. You just gotta tweet the names of 5 people (living or dead) that you would like to have dinner with and include the hashtag #mealfor6 and you’re entered.
Highlight of my day: when I did go down to meeting, secretary says to me “I’ve never seen Robert Mugabe in real life before, is that really him?”
