Victoria/ Victorious

You don’t have to know me that well to know that I worship at the altar of Victoria Beckham. From her cheesetastic Spice Girls roots, even through her trashtastic chav moments to her current fashionista/ businesswoman incarnation – everything she does, I love love love. Le Sigh.

So, I’m quite pleased by two things this month:

1. Her fab picture on the cover of Fairlady magazine. You can check the profile (written by moi) right over HERE.

2. Her stellar turn in German Vogue; which, at the moment, is my favourite Vogue. You can see some pictures from her spread HERE.

FAIRLADY gets real!

If you didn’t know, now you know: The magazine I work at, FAIRLADY magazine, has a reality show hitting TV this Friday. The show’s going to track the trails and tribulations of a group of young people as they vie for the position of Style & Beauty Intern.

I can’t really say much more (for fear of giving anything away), just watch it! First episode screens this Friday (2 April), 9PM on MNet Series!

It’s a wrap!

What a week it was… Full of drama, celebs, mag covers and unflattering clothes. This week:

• Rihanna and Chris Brown missed the Grammys, had an altercation and speculation and mayhem ensued;
• M.I.A., on the other hand, made it to the Grammys and I fell deeper in love with her and her uterus;
• Beyonce also skipped out on the music awards ceremony. But if you miss her badly, you can always get your dose of Queen B on the cover of Fairlady;
• Speaking of mag covers, Madonna does W and no one has ever looked so classy while being so sleazy. We love you, Madge!
• Michelle Obama brought the heat on Vogue’s cover and got candid inside - despite having ‘helmet hair’;
• Gwyneth Paltrow has a foul mouth (and wears questionable  outfits);
• Based on Chomee’s indepth analysis of politics and economics (hmm), I now know who to vote for come April (or not);
• The only certainty in my life come April is seeing Mos Def rock the Cape Town Jazz Fest stage;
• We discovered that Salma has healing breasts
• And Lerato Moloi made us hella proud. Gorge girl!

 

 

Beautiful Beyonce

Absolutely stunning! This is the March 2009 edition of Fairlady magazine (on sale NOW). Not only is the cover amazing (yay, Beyonce!), but so is the content (and I’m not just saying that because …).

March is generally my favourite mag month because Fairlady does its Big Work Issue. This time around, there’s advice on forming a CC, copyrighting your ideas, being indispensable (yes, even with the recession in full swing), balancing business and family and being a great team player.

But if work isn’t your ‘thing’, there’s also a great piece on one woman’s quest to find the ultimate Sugar Daddy. How did she do it? She posted an ad on Gumtree (no, it’s not just for finding flats and selling fridges).

Other highlights:
- Sally Kramer and Tasneem Larney put bank charges to the test (and my bank account came out as the biggest loser!).

- Renata Harper gives some tips on self-publishing.

- And there’s finally some firsthand answers to that question: ‘Why do men have affairs?’

If any of this sounds appealing – of course it does! – head over to your nearest supermarket/ news agent/ book store and get it while it’s hot. If you have any issues finding Fairlady on shelves, text FAIRLADY, followed by your store’s name and the area to 32510 (costs R1 per SMS).
