If you aren’t acquainted with Bryan Boy like, where have you been????? He’s “Marc Jacob’s favourite blogger” happarently! And Marie Claire and Sunglass Hut are bringing him to Cape Town and Joburg to give blogging seminars. So exciting! So THERE! Here’s what the world says about Bryan Boy:
“Internationally-loved fashion superblogger.” – New York Times/T Magazine – The Moment, February 2009
“With his sharp wit and cheeky style choices, Manila-based blogger Bryan Boy is on the brink of international stardom. He’s already captured the attention of designer Marc Jacobs, who named a bag from his Fall ’08 collection after him, and we’re sure that this (19-year-old) internet star is well on his way to fashion fame.” – Teen Vogue, February 2009
“Blogs for Brilliant Minds. [Marc] Jacobs’ favourite blog, Bryan Boy, a deliciously funny read obsessed with all things fashion.” – Conde Nast Portfolio, April 2008
You should get yourself a copy of the May Cosmopolitan mag- you’ll see me perched in a bauble, clutching my iPhone (and pointing to a fellow TQ’s shoes no doubt) in the Cosmo Queens of Twitter feature. We had such a lot of fun on the shoot, a big thank you to the team who made it so. LOVE those leopard print heels – they’reZoom if you’re wondering. Jeans are Levi’s Curve ID. Sparkle top is from Slate. Makeup done bySLKaye.

Just a few snaps from the Cosmo“Queens of Twitter” shoot that happened this morning. It was an honour to be shot with some fabulous twitter personalities, including@laurenbeukes,@styleguideCT, @liezelv and @texxonfire. They dressed me in this fab spangled jacket from Slate, Levi’s Curve ID jeans and these sky-high leopard print heels. Rawr.
Pictured below is @StyleGuideCT mid-shoot, checking out her pics
and with makeup artist extraordinaire @SLKaye after she’d made me pretty :)
It was a lot of fun. The Cosmo ladies are great. I’ll give you guys a heads up on which issue it will be in.
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.
This is a fun little behind the scenes video from the Marie Claire Naked shoot. Check out Marie Claire’s blog for more. Remember it goes on sale next week. Get it!!
Hurricane Vanessa posted somepreviews of the Marie Claire Naked Issue, coming out next Wednesday 16 February. We’re in it along with two of our favs – Kim Gray and PopYaCollar’s La Muse. We had great fun shooting this – we actually shot it twice! And we had a very enthusiastic car guard watching our, um, cars. The doggy in the pic belongs to photographer Mark Cameron, and her name is Viva. She’s husky cross Golden Retriever, and just the sweetest thing ever. Just look at those fluffy paws. The Marie Claire Naked Issue is in aid of the SPCA, and since we are a HUGE fan of beasties here at CTG (whippet updates, Cape Town Cat), we’d love it if you supported it.
So by now everybody knows that CTG’s cooler of choice,Brutal Fruit, have brought the one and only Kim Kardashian out to launch their new flavour this week – Cheeky Cranberry. We are very very excited here at CTG, since K-Dash is a personal heroine of ours. For those of you who still think she’s a reality star who ‘lucked out on a sex tape’, let me enlighten you. Kim Kardashian turned what could have been something embarrassing and exploitative into a multimillion dollar empire, and she is widely regarded as one of the key best-practice case studies in social media (yes, I used marketing speech now, will do 30 hail Kim Kardashians as punishment). Her blog is the biggest celebrity blog (over 40 million hits a month), and she produces her own perfume, owns a clothing store and designed a range with Bebe and her sisters and she also has designed a range of jewellery,shoes and has produced a fitness DVD. She also does a HUGE amount of work for AIDS charities – lots of respect. Check out her bio here. Really, if any of the couch critics had half the drive (brains, talent, and dare I say it, looks :P) she does, they’d be off the couch, building their own empires.
I like Kim Kardashian because she’s capitalised on her situation, which is the opposite of being a victim. Save us from the victims. Victims include bitter-sounding men and women who roll their eyes at a younger, prettier woman capitalising on their situations (situation may include being genetically blessed). If you could do it, you would too, so best we all find what makes us a special snowflake, and refrain from possibly resenting people who have the balls (butt, boobs…) to achieve what they want ;)
Kim we can’t wait to party with you! Welcome to SA. See you Friday!
