Hilarious. “Like I am not even joking right now.”

Flash Mob at International School of Cape Town (ISCT) from Helen Temple on Vimeo.
Just another (school) day in the pretty city. That’s very nice guys, well done on having some fun. Even the teachers who were too shy to dance held up signs with the words on on the sidelines. Spirited. Involved. Look, I’m not sure I’d be able to send my kids to a school that flashmobs a song that’s already seven months old and on the tailbone of the old trend curve, but I can appreciate the effort.
Please enjoy this clip of James trying to teach me how to hold a medicine ball correctly, and me spazzing out. Good times.
“I understand why my friends are single, I just don’t understand why I am…”
This is a hilarious outtake from one of the mobility videos I’ve been filming with James, the owner of the soon-to-be-open Roark Gyms. He was showing me how my foot position makes me unstable when running, and for some reason I grab his head to steady myself.
More videos to follow. Serious ones :)
As a blogger, you get quite a lot of promotional giveaways sent your way. Sometimes they are useful, such as that personalized solar-powered alarm clock, which I use every morning to throw at my cat when he starts banging on my head for food. At other times, they are unique, life-changing experiences, like when I got delivered a meal-for-6 voucher by a Robert Mugabe look-alike (thanks Nando’s). Very rarely are they so utterly FREAKING AWESOME as this package of Christmas Gifts the V&A Waterfront delivered to tell me about their festive season gift finder. Please, behold:
Hypnotic Poison by Christian Dior. Only my favourite fragrance ON THIS PLANET. How did they know??? Did their magical gift finder tell them?
And what’s this here? A Chanel double mirror compact. Because touching up your make up in the car / in strange bathrooms that have no mirrors / in a toilet stall after sobbing your eyes out post Blue Valentine is a reality people. Besides, ANY face looks prettier through a Chanel mirror.
And then there’s the Benefit Bathina glimmering body balm. If you’re also a Benefit fan, you’ll know exactly what I mean when I say, “Ya-haa!” Of course, I have already used up half the tin. I have also eaten the candy cane. What can I say except Thank You Guys. I couldn’t have picked better ones myself, for myself. I will be making use of your gift finder and your easy-to-print-out shopping lists to do my own Christmas shopping, since they clearly work. See how it works: you put in who you’re buying a gift for and it gives you a suggested combination of three gifts. Way better than hedging your bets on one gift, and alleviating that whole ‘perfect gift’ pressure.
Genius. Visit the site here. Follow the V&A Waterfront on Twitter here. And find them on facebook here. There’s loads of exciting Christmas activities happening at the V&A at the moment, like the Summer Concerts, the Wheel of Excellence (is back) and of course the New Year’s Eve concert and fireworks. Sounds like a blast.
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!
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.
