No hangover! SCORE!

As much as we would of loved to spend our hard earned South African Rands on La Crosseitte, our pockets took us to Rue d’Antibes. (Mel)<sup>2 ,</sup><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Lindi and Toolz, all set out to find the latest in clothing and accessories. This avenue has awesome shops with well known brands with other brands local to France. Majority of the shops either cater to women or had average menswear, hence my one tiny shopping bag. But one men’s shop which caught our attention, stocked everything from Paul Smith, to Sevens to Dolce & Gabbana. Melody Maker even had the owner try on and model clothing, and he wasn’t half bad looking at all, which helped. We managed to sneak in Zara and Sephora, and a quick bite at a deli on one of the side streets. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5XaMnT-3sp8Hi3oL8rhuEwsUGcBapmbCqpQpoXp0m7-A95glzMo3SdjKE7rwSflyQox8nJMUpOh81Fhhyphenhyphen93SqkEmq8q-TLIdYWIH-CVn7M87cttvkDO__C-TaWipY-dzClPhNIg/s320/IMG-20110512-00106.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608470866457008514" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">Text from Marina: “We going for lunch at z-plague. Let me know if you in.” SWEET! Off we all go to lunch. ‘It’s not about the money, money, money! We don’t want your money money money!” What? Is that Jessie J? No ways! Yesterday, Lady Gaga, today Jessie J! And me being the forward one, who knows the lyrics and all the songs, jamming to every lyric! Jessie’s set included her 3 hit singles, “Do It Like A Dude”, “Price Tag” and the latest “Nobody’s Perfect”. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtifUMQ6L_GzGvPMZsjj2dvQLETCD4LtozyFWOHZI_Z7q4aczRGoRDlFFZb8ifx_ceEvc69wwwJ2UonawySpnK9_sPwrCFefpPbuoXS3JS7tO8IeTrBMc91poisHQLzz3KdRT3jg/s320/IMG_0245.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608470856806989458" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">More Rosé and VitaminWater at yet a great lunch, I still hadn’t bought anything yet. So I grabbed my shopping buddy, Cosmopolitan’s Lindi Brownell, and we headed to Hermés. All I wanted was a Collier de Chein bracelet and a belt. Unfortunetely the bracelets were out of stock, and my heart sank, but the helpful salesman made my day by bringing out the belt kit. A reversible Hermés belt would finally be mine. If you know me well, these items have been on my wish list for a while. Nothing like walking back to the Hotel Matrinez with an orange bag, and paparazzi mistaking you for a celebrity, taking your photo. Soon after we all head off to the press conference hosted by the IFP (Independent Filmakers Project) and sponsored by Calvin Klein. Bumping in to Cheryl Cole and Jane Fonda leaving the hotel for a premiere. And managed to grab Jessie J for a photo. So, there Liza Johnson was talking about her film, "Return", with majority of the cast and crew in the film being female, which tells the story of a woman who returns home from a tour of duty and having trouble adjusting. Hang on, wait a minute?? Who just walked in? It’s Eva from Gossip Girl! Clemece Poesy. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIXBlHvtLEssj4MipOJul9uHgBL8GQZctFHM3dJjITRCvmsBIKLDkNUbJHbZRtU0w0S4WMoAXGrkNiyNWB1HMcMeVnzkiwb9GBH5a0mhYOfjh03gHo-E3vL0m24mXAFaAt2NLPDA/s320/IMG_0251.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608474945330232018" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhibhrJkbqiVR6Sho_uTgbEgnSTeeUrCkYoQbH4iFZPH2RmkVkTFeXIDavjAB-zkIQIEDlBTlHt7DpinWQOqrkR98Cdza7TcCB2pSndjskKhQ_XkMQpliemi7k8mYcQTNe1lGi_1Q/s320/IMG-20110512-00111.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608470870860663090" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></p><div>I knew she looked familiar. Turns out she plays Joan of Arc in her Cannes Film. Nice work! But sorry I can’t stay, I have a Calvin Klein Party to attend. It’s surreal when you are walking into party that Rosario Dawson, Uma Thurman and Vanessa Hudgens just arrived at. I handed a glass of Mo<span style="mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria;mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria;">ë</span>t Chandon to Melinda Shaw and we worked the room, and found Uma recluse in a dark corner. As she walked past me towards the beach I said, “Uma you’re gorgeous.” “Oh, me? No way!” she replied, which I thought was cute. Moments later the hip lesbian DJ put on Mirriam Makeba which immediately called all our South African #GVWCannes Crew together.</div><iframe width="400" height="257" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/o56hxSWoUDg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">As we left the shindig, Owen Wilson was walking down the stairs to what Melinda Shaw said to him, ”Owen, the party’s over!” Needless to say, there was pandemonium with Owen Wilson’s arrival, but we still got our his and hers Calvin Klein “euphoria” fragrances.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Of course the night wasn’t over, and we were still on our way to Villa des inrocks! A gorgeous Villa, cherries and a photo booth is all we needed to have a great time! None of us were listening to Mark, the <a href="http://www.glaceau.co.za/blog">Glaceau VitaminWater</a> guy manning the booth, when 7 South African’s jam packed and started taking crazy pictures. One free bus ride to the famous steps to the theater we posed and mad it by foot back to The Martinez. But, it was only 3am, the night couldn’t end now. It was just beginning because David Guetta was playing at the sexy club Baoli. My partner in crime, Melinda and I hopped into a taxi and before we knew it we had heart shaped balloons in our hands, requesting Guetta to play “Who’s That Chick”.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwPfBsahBULtuambs9WP5IeMu8gm6ZDmB_opQVypgod7GUb7YJQi68eo11x9KRbsPYvxNKgofS5gJb1UI2IwejsaS73XxXvTJXyfLL1BKVzMQ2xX55nK7e9ijxm7A1wN4QE-d_Cw/s320/IMG-20110513-00122.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608470874903843586" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></p><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKXGqMGp176bve8zRvQDzc8tYixnzPVfhz8-ootEZ8Xrg2HLaRUSBRFd9L5RZWfznuBcjF6DIXrgf-n_D7VCGBn7Z6RSCSluwQlYkl_5vZAnBBt_OfPiQ1jfoV4AmgrG53ZwTEiw/s320/IMG-20110513-00130.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608471851107002626" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 238px; " /></span></span></div><div>Again, bottles everywhere and it reminded me of how Taboo used to be, in it’s “IT” days. 4:30am.

Online Editor for Cosmopolitan Magazine, Lindi Brownell and I quickly became good friends – our common interest was Hermés. We admired the luxury fashion in Zurich airport, before another quick plane ride to Nice. A car ride of about 40 minutes, we arrived at what would be our new home – Hotel Martinez, which I might add was base camp for <a href="http://www.twitter.com/glaceau_sa">Glacéau VitmainWater</a> Teams across the world.

Anderson Cooper followed her on her European leg of her Tour last year and interviewed her. No topic was off limits. I really loved this interview, because it was honest and the audience got to pick her brain a bit more. I respect her as an artist and a writer. I feel that the fashion is a distraction, though, from her true talent.Toolzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11685768021458477417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13679306.post-21652883102897936672011-01-17T00:53:00.003+02:002011-01-17T01:00:39.512+02:00At home with the Hilfiger's<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDpjY1kHWqcYjXJMQXOWqdWNe6hZZC3wuk1zAHqkEUvgkEcPRT7a8NS4XCHvIB-0ydJlRps0nuCaIqHBNNMQEcxlfsPXrVv7Gkbx2kdSshyphenhyphenkC5AOWfs4mSCHc9bw5jzAixMVdJjg/s1600/6a00e54fb7301c88340148c7a4c77d970c.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 232px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDpjY1kHWqcYjXJMQXOWqdWNe6hZZC3wuk1zAHqkEUvgkEcPRT7a8NS4XCHvIB-0ydJlRps0nuCaIqHBNNMQEcxlfsPXrVv7Gkbx2kdSshyphenhyphenkC5AOWfs4mSCHc9bw5jzAixMVdJjg/s320/6a00e54fb7301c88340148c7a4c77d970c.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562921046540581954" /></a>I am totally in love with the Tommy Hilfiger Spring/Summer 2011 campaign.

You might be familiar with his appearances on MTV's "The City" and a hilarious cameo on Gossip Girl with Rachel Zoe. The brutally honest fashionista follows struggling fashion designer's process in creating their collection. He advises them and helps them in each episode reach their goals. When it comes to fashion Mr. Joe Zee is a king. I remember seeing him on Tyra Banks produced show "Stylista" as a judge, and not only does he know what he's talking about but you learn so much from him. <br /><br />Watch a sneak peek above. "All on The Line" premieres Spring 2011 in the USA, on the Sundance Channel. Let's hope South Africa will get it too.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/mrjoezee">Follow Joe Zee on Twitter</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/All-on-the-Line/166959120015907">Like "All on the Line" on Facebook</a>Toolzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11685768021458477417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13679306.post-63049860679992919082011-01-06T01:55:00.001+02:002011-01-06T01:59:34.692+02:00Finger lickin' good<object width="580" height="392"><param name="movie" value="http://www.therundown.tv/v/17532/kfc-worker-snaps-on-a-customer/"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.therundown.tv/v/17532/kfc-worker-snaps-on-a-customer/" width="580" height="392" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" flashvars="title=KFC Worker SNAPS ON A CUSTOMER!!&count=17532&countON=true"></embed></object><br /><br />Next time, don't ask for a complicated order.Toolzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11685768021458477417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13679306.post-85419876410726401122011-01-06T00:53:00.004+02:002011-01-06T01:20:56.187+02:00Klamar and Khloe<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRX3w4hViuQMOHGbSk-lF0rDWsTFFgNDalgS2kbIgnf_-4__lHRVZ2OSg2WVsG2etEBf6FBGBiGmJFNhy7ULQjzuGSSfaODH9zxSYDEGKgfOqFcLlNgitsQgTAq4CDeM-Xj7SmCA/s1600/Khloe-Kardashian-Lamar-Odom-Get-Own-Reality-Show-010511.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 259px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRX3w4hViuQMOHGbSk-lF0rDWsTFFgNDalgS2kbIgnf_-4__lHRVZ2OSg2WVsG2etEBf6FBGBiGmJFNhy7ULQjzuGSSfaODH9zxSYDEGKgfOqFcLlNgitsQgTAq4CDeM-Xj7SmCA/s320/Khloe-Kardashian-Lamar-Odom-Get-Own-Reality-Show-010511.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558843778172053650" /></a><br />What? Are you crazy? Of course they are gonna bring out another Kardashian "reality" (note: the apostrophes) show. And of course it's going to be a Ryan Seacrest Production. Let me guess...the season will show how in love Khloé and Lamar really are; there'll be an episode about Rob Kardashian and boundary issues/living arrangement argument and a season finale of Khloé possibly pregnant and if Rob will be signed to a label, yes: Rob is going to be a musician.<br /><br />The show begins recording early 2011 and will be on E! So, we've had 5 seasons of <span style="font-style:italic;">Keeping Up With The Kardashians</span>, 2 seasons of <span style="font-style:italic;">Kourtney & Khloé Take Miami</span>, <span style="font-style:italic;">Kourtney and Kim Take New York</span> premiering January 23rd and now they filming Khloé and Lamar. Wow! Baby Mason, you better get ready for your own show, but before that Kylie and Kendall Kindergarden (Soundtrack provided by Willow Smith).

This overnight pop sensation is interviewed by Lisa Robinson naming Michael Jackson, BoyzIIMen and Tupac (yes, Tupac) as one of some of his influences. Robinson also interviews Bieber's handlers such as his bodyguard, Usher and his mom who says: “We don’t have yes-men around him. I don’t want him being a diva.”<br /><br />Yes, I do own the Justin Bieber album. I think the kid is talented, and I like his music. I think he has a great future ahead of him.

"Jessie J?" You ask? Let me give you some background. She's helped Miley Cyrus co-write her hit song "Party In The USA" (even I like the track) working with "it" pop producer Dr.Luke and new rap star B.o.B. Justin Timberlake calls her "the best singer in the world right now", and her fans include Alicia Keys, Kylie Minogue and Paloma Faith. <div><br /></div><div>There's talks of her writing for Britney Spears, Willow Smith and Christina Aguilera's new projects, and X-Factor winner Matt Cardle. How old is she? 22 years old.</div><div><br /></div><div>In amongst writing for other people, she is also persuing her own music career. Her video "Do It Like A Dude" off her forth coming album "Who You Are" has been released and you can watch it below.</div><object width="400" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pOf3kYtwASo?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pOf3kYtwASo?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="385"></embed></object><div><br /></div><div>Her style is grungy, ghetto and she's gonna get everyone to grab their crotch like a dude!

Last year, was my first time attending the L'Ormarins Queen's Plate horse races held in Cape Town. January 8th, marks the prestigious event's 150th anniversary, and winning horse Pocket Power's final race.<br /><br />"In keeping with the history of this day and celebrating the royal theme throughout, it will be nothing other than elegant fashion, delicious food and fine wine, stimulating entertainment and, of course, the finest thoroughbreds,” says Kate Salt, the spokesperson for the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate.<br /><div><br /></div><div>As I previously blogged last year, attire is <a href="http://thulane.blogspot.com/2010/01/strictly-blue-white.html">Strictly Blue & White</a>. It's not the Met nor the July where you can wear any colour in the rainbow on one dress or suit, it's the Queen's Plate. And dress code should be adhered to. You don't want to be the jackass that wears red!<br /><br />Exclusive Corporate packages for the Café Caprice marquee are available on request. The Style Lounge tickets are available at Computicket for those 18 and older. R250 entrance provides for an all-access pass, a race card for the day, a R20 betting voucher and access to the evening’s entertainment. Food and drink are not included. The event officially commences from 12h00.<br /><br />Visit <a href="http://www.lqp.co.za/">www.lqp.co.za</a> for more information.<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4QsngR1lij2TYLFgdwPsHdsA9H-GX5YgYaDd24OWqq7P6GzS5rFC0lDVm2CY2BOix4BLLvPmeAbibO9DOi3ato4NshAM299goaiWNi0cecALkSvearnNHNkrS62oF6has5Da_qA/s320/_JJS3916.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557234275365644082" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div>Toolzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11685768021458477417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13679306.post-80897347374609559212011-01-01T15:35:00.011+02:002011-01-01T15:56:12.704+02:00Also at the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAc5eMStr-uCYwyJTl7Pv_hrq57n-xTN018rHuNEQrkQgPoer5yXdioyGNcMU_2Q7GDMKNsGlPKIfin5hrwVLtPvHH5xQvh8clQcdGj7UrYXXxkmSz7vBa1CEer3G7QhYSlT_J2w/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-01-01+at+3.49.54+PM.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 83px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAc5eMStr-uCYwyJTl7Pv_hrq57n-xTN018rHuNEQrkQgPoer5yXdioyGNcMU_2Q7GDMKNsGlPKIfin5hrwVLtPvHH5xQvh8clQcdGj7UrYXXxkmSz7vBa1CEer3G7QhYSlT_J2w/s320/Screen+shot+2011-01-01+at+3.49.54+PM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557215142448014418" /></a><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyOekzd8c77FvYjOBfjfKY32UIkX6-rmBgUxV_mGRm19H0PytyCzMIp8BBthJ9rLbK5ScOMHDmdU_Ro9vNS9rgAXIPEjA4WArdKUhbOeJXrQ130dO0ZLqU24YRohACmt05epWpfw/s1600/vegas9.jpg"></a>It didn't end there with Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, either.

On stage of course! Newly opened luxury resort Cosmopolitan Las Vegas played host to the exclusive event. Guests that graced the purple carpet included Blake Lively, Oprah's BFF's Gayle King and Colin Cowie (who wore a glam Jacob & Co. watch), actor Forest Whitaker, Sugar Ray Leonard, (shew! wipes forehead, takes another deep breath), Mark Wahlberg, Kellan Lutz, Dr. Dre and many more. <br /><br />Jigga performed hits like "99 Problems", "Dirt Off Your Shoulders" and "Young Forever" with Beyoncé. Queen Bee performed a ballad rendition of "Crazy In Love" and a cover of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" and teamed up with Chris Martin's Coldplay for "Halo".
