Date with a k(night) or (king)pin

The title's an excuse to replay and rewind the Yeah Yeah Yeah's first album. Two songs that stand out for me. 'Pin' reminds me of being in law school, sleepless nights and listening to Yarek...seems so long ago!
Also the issue of love is still strong - it's coming up to Spring after all. It's also Women's Month in South Africa and I've been thinking about how women choose. Do they have choice? Are they chosen or are they allowed to do the choosing? Which is the most delicious way that the cookie crumbles?
We always choose our own apparel. Are we allowed to choose our paramours? Or do we wait until they choose us? Is it a question of being spotted and saying yes? Bees do it, birds do it...but can we do it a different way? Definitely a question for the online mags and female blogosphere. Always thinking about the next plot. Hatching, fetching, pitching and bitching. Meanwhile, I chose some beautiful people not long ago and there are still pics I never put up, and I really must.

Jo-Ann Darling Just How Many Languages Do You Speak?







Rethink on previous post title. Loving aint easy y'all. Sometimes it's one helluva mess. From what I've seen, and heard, it's the strongest, strangest emotion. You know? All the things that make our little hearts set up a Turmoil Platform at the Grand Central Union Station of Hearts. But it sure is easy to fall in love with beautiful clothes, shoes and accessories. How lucky was I to spot former Miss South Africa and current Top Billing host doing her thing as presenter with a top German TV station, during the World Cup. Jo-Ann - you're killing me! Those takkies are wunderbar. This was on the fanwalk to the Argentina/Germany game. I so so so miss Phillip. One whole month. It hurts, ne. Love was easier before he came along.

Loving you is easy cause you're beautiful


I am so sorry little tiny teeny eenie weenie blog for leaving you alone for so long. All alone in this great big world. But I brought you a new beautiful friend for you to adorn your pages with. Gosh I sound like the theme song from that movie with Jack Nicholson and a shower, and a lone motel or some such scenario. Bear with me it's been a long day and mama is sleepy but refuses sleep.

Not at all some sort of post script at the end of the day, the truly amazing and just super-talented Thulare Monareng is one of our most fab designers here in SA, and she will soon be gracing Long Street with her fabuliciousness. If you say that in an SA accent, ek se, it sounds delightful. And please, the title of this post is due to having listened to every genre of song under the sun today. Not because of anybody male, super-smart, super sexy even if they are so damn beautiful. Just. So. Damn. Beautiful. Er...And of course I love my little blog. You're beautiful. Mama needs sleep. Oh and by the way little blog. Nice things are happening on e work front. The niche is calling loud and clear, and that is why I was away so long. Wish me luck! Off to bed, with Minnie Riperton in my ears. La la la la la...!
