Fans lined up outside Ellerman House - very Hollywood!
So Friday was a bit of a frenzy as the Kardashians landed in Cape Town to launch new Brutal Fruit Cheek Cranberry. We were kindly invited by Brutal Fruit to come and chat to them – We filmed our chat and we’ll have that up in a bit.
They were very lovely girls and yes, Kim really is that pretty in real life, and Khloe really is that hilarious. They were staying at the ever lovely Ellerman House. If you’re looking for the perfect place to take a mini break in Cape Town, Ellerman House is a great choice. You can stay in the main house, or you can go for the more private villa which has it’s own pool, and a view over the Atlantic Sea. It’s really stunning, case in point:
The party itself was incredible. The venue was the Fugard Theatre in town, and there was a queue from early on
But once night fell the old Theatre really came into its own. Really one of the most striking venues I’ve been to in ages.
The BF Cheeky Audi was given away to kick off the party - lucky winner Johan was ecstatic. Here is SA beauty Bonang Matheba on the car. We have a HUGE girlcrush on Bonang, we’ll post more about that later.
The interior was just as fab, with delicious pink goodies everywhere.
As you arrived you got a voucher to purchase a fun pink, sparkly item at the Cheeky Counter below (MEJ got a pink tie, I went for a hat)
and the Kardashians stole the show from the comfort of their VIP lounge (much of this snapping was happening, as you might well imagine)
The DJ was brilliant and totally hitting the mark, hence these cats were busting out the sickest formation dance moves I’ve seen since my heyday on the speakers at Tiger:
Just take a look at this vaulted ceiling – so pretty. So inner city. So Gossip Girl underground charity benefit.
And then there was a massage room where you could kick off your heels, enjoy some cranberry cocktails and have your photo taken in the photo booth.
What a night. I think we can all give a round of applause to Brutal Fruit for pulling off the ‘most talked-about party of the year’ with their Cheeky Cranberry launch, am I right? I got an email from a girl so desperate to go she offered to work for me for free for 3 months if I could get her on the list. Outrageous! Apologies to all who asked for tickets – it really was impossible to get extras.
PS. Have you tasted Cheeky Cranberry yet? Ask for one next time you’re out – it’s one of my favourite BF flavours. If the venue you’re at doesn’t have it, go somewhere else.
