My Celebrity Look-alikes

My cool celebrity look-alike collage from MyHeritage.com. Get one for yourself.

Talking about shoes..........

There is a terrific site I found all about celebs and their shoes.

I have discovered, in the process, that Angie Harmon has the UGLIEST toes I have ever had the misfortune of seeing LOL

Anyway - have a look at the site at http://www.shoebunny.com/

What a honey!!!!!

RENÉE Zellweger has a big heart. Wendy Faracino, a Bobbi Brown makeup artist at Saks Fifth Avenue in Southampton, was on her break and looking at a pair of Manolo Blahniks when Zellweger strolled up and the two began talking about shoes. Barely 15 minutes after she went back to work, Faracino was approached by the shoe department's manager with a gift-wrapped box. "These are compliments of Renée Zellweger. She wanted you to have them," he said. Inside were the Manolos she'd been admiring.

Talk about being in the right place at the right time!

Eau de Twatlette

Attention excitement-challenged fellas, if Viagra just won't do the trick, then Vulva Original vaginal scent is the product for you! Eau de Twatlette!While the, er, hair-raising product is not a perfume for the va-jay-jay, it is an erotic fragrance made to trigger sexual attraction and desire by mimicking the tangy aroma of lady muffin! Chanel No. 69!According to the makers, you should not swallow Vulva, ingest Vulva or allow Vulva to have contact with your eyes.

But isn't that why you'd buy it?

BG Goes Green

Bowman Gilfillan has just launched a whole "Go Green" project where we donated 1000 trees to Soweto and we have a little frog Mascot who we have to name!

Any suggestions???

Swan Lake

We saw Swan Lake at the Civic Theatre on Sunday - it was absolutely spectacular!

Maddy loved it! She even got the lead ballerina's autograph (Angela Malan - who played Odette/Odile), as well as the Prince (Iain McDonald), Rothbart and the Jester (Pablo someone or the other).

She also took a pic with Angela Malan, which I'll publish at another time as I haven't downloaded it yet!!!!

Build-a-Bear.....an expensive exercise

Since Build-a-Bear opened in Sandton City, my sister and I have spent our combined salaries there!!!!

The bear + voice box + fairy outfit + shoes + socks + panties + sunglasses + cheerleader outfit + rollerskates + leash + Sketchers..........

Vada, the gender confused Golden Retriever

This was a pic taken the day we got Vada (who we originally called Charlie).....

We took him to the zoo lake for a walk and some woman said, no, that's not a boy it's a girl, so we then christened her Vada (the little girl from the movie My Girl)!!!

After studying "THAT" area very well, I definitely decided that he was a boy.....by that time,

(s)he was already responding to "her" name, Vada, and couldn't find it in my heart to change it to Charlie.......

So we now have a boy Golden Retriever called Vada.

Go figure!!!!!!

My hair

Well - I decided to have my hair cut like this:

But my hairdresser fucked it up!

END OF POST!

The Russian Ballet

We went to watch the Russian ballet at the Civic Theatre on Sunday - it was absolutely gorgeous!



The Programme included:





George Bizet – Carmen (One Act Ballet)


P.Tchaikovsky – Swan Lak – Pas de Deux


L. Minkus – Grand Pad de Deux – Don Quixote


A. Glazounov – Extract from Ballet – RaymondaC. Saint-Saens – “The Dying Swan”

Maddison absolutely loved it - afterall, she wants to be a ballerina when she grows up!

It snowed

Well - it snowed in Jo'burg!!!

I have only experienced snow once in my lifetime when I was about 3 years old and it was magical.

Maddison was so totally beside herself - her and I were hanging out of the window at 1am on the morning of 27 June watching the snow and then we were out at 7am again playing.

Here are the pics!!!!

Zhou Guizhen, who is 86-years-old, shows one of her bound feet where the bones in the four small toes were broken and forced underneath the foot over a period of time, at her home in Liuyi village in China’s southern Yunnan Province, February 2007. Villages in China where women with bound feet survive are increasingly rare but the millennium-old practice nevertheless took almost four decades to eradicate after it was initially banned in 1911.

Mambo...rhumba......SALSA

Last night was our first Salsa lesson! It was really cool, so much hip swayin' fun......





Got the shoes and everything.........



There is going to be an Absolut Anarchy Salsa Party tomorrow night...check it out

I'm a vet, I'm a vet, I'm a VETERINARIAN

Okay, so last night, Little Chloe wasn't being herself at all! She turned her nose up at her dinner which she usually wolfs down, she just lay in her bed in the corner of the kitchen, no wagging tail nothing!!!!!

So I go and pick her up and the underside of her chin is totally swollen. So I pick her up and rush her to the Vet (x3) and they were all closed!

So I take her home and decide to investigate myself! Lay her down on her blanket on her back and it looks like a bite of some sorts! So my blood starts boiling because I thought that one of the rabbits bit her. Then on closer inspection, I see that it's a sting!!!!

SO - I don some surgical gloves (please ask me why I have a box of surgical gloves in my house LOL), sterilise the instruments (a tweezers), and prepare the operating table!!!!!!

I managed to get the tip of the sting out, but then saw a little white bit still stuck there, so I went in again and VOILA - I got it out!!!!!! It was a TIIIIIINNNNNYYYY little bugger, but caused my baby so much pain!!! I cleaned it up with some Savlon and put on a bit of antiseptic cream, and 1, 2, 3, my Chloe was right as rain!! First thing she wanted was water, then her dinner, then she was running around, chewing on anything that would stand still - back to her old self!!!

:)

DR SAM IN THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!

Ok, so probably the grossest news this week belongs to Keith Richards. The Rolling Stones guitarist has admitted to snorting his dad's ashes.

Eeeuuwww! Richards told music magazine NME that he had once snorted his late father's remains along with drugs. "The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."
You're alive? Really? You could've fooled me...

His publicist came out with industrial duty mops in an attempt to mop up Keith's mess and said that he was only joking. She had no further comment about why Richards made the statement. Ok ja, good excuse, why didn't I think of that one?

.............and more bitching!!!!

Okay, so I had a car accident on 25 January this year! An old fogie reversed into my passenger front door with his tow bar - so of course he didn't have a scratch on his car - mine is all crunched in and the paint chipped everything!!!!! So, he lodges a claim with his insurance company "Hamford" since I did not want to go through my insurance company!!!!

Get a load of this - they still use MANUAL claim forms - like hello - are we living in the age of the caveman??????? To top it off - their staff are bloody RUDE and INCOMPETANT as you'd expect from a company who still uses manual claim forms!!!!!!

In addition to my frustration - I had to drive around and get 2 quotes from 2 different panelbeaters!!!!!! And FYI - both those quotes have now expired!!!!!!

As a result - it is the 10th of April and my claim has YET to be finalised!!!

Thank you Hamford and thank you to that useless little freak that crunched my car - I REALLY enjoy driving around with a lovely crunched in door that cannot open!!!!!!!!!

The Hilton - Sandton

On Easter Sunday, we set out to the Hilton in Sandton to have lunch. We had received about 13 calls from Hilton marketing to confirm that we had paid the R150 per head for the lunch. We were also late for lunch and I was panicking that we wouldn't get a table - afterall, they had a host of activities for the kids including an Easter Egg hunt and a jumping castle!!

Ok, so we arrive at about 1:17 (I drove LOL) and we walk into the restaurant and could literally count the number of people there on one hand!!!!!!

So we sit down and there are the cutest bunny easter eggs at each place setting and we go off to the buffet where everything looked divine!!! oh but hell no - the crab salad tasted like, and I quote "chewed cardboard" as per my sister, the roast leg of lamb was boiled prior to being "ROASTED", the "chocolate mousse" was actually Moirs instant pudding......EEEEEUUUUWWW it was gross!!!!!!!

Anyway, Maddy had a ball on the hunt and jumped herself into a coma on the jumping castle!!!

SO - we have sponsored Paris with a new little outfit for her little dog - YAY us!
