Interlude

So I’ve been neglecting my sexxxi blog what with all my awesome reviewing for VOICE OF ROCK (http://www.voiceofrock.com) and Entertain-SA. (http://www.entertain-sa.co.za/)

-Shameless Pimp.

But true to form, I’ve still been up to my tricks. This month’s hilarious revelation of Idols SA season 7 on m-net and on the idols channel 199 on DSTV as well as the release of Playboy’s launch party pics in their latest magazine have cemented three glorious truths:

1) I was photographed in Playboy magazine

2) I was on t.v.

3) I did both in little more than hairspray and sequins hahahahaha

Seriously though, the CT Music scene’s been exploding with quality events of late! What a promising start to winter! How better to hide from the cold than with a liquid blanket and a good band.

The most epic string of mid-week and weekend events include the notable HOGS and RUDIES (back to the nineties) revival gig at Mercury Live followed by this Friday’s YOUR LMG 50^th issue party featuring the legendary SABRETOOTH, Peachy Keen and Taxi Violence. In between were massive parties filling up the Purple Turtle with bands like Fox Comet and Zula put on a couple of classy events in Long Street.

Meanwhile back in the home-front of Observatory, the likes of ROAR and Gandalf’s kept the ball rolling with a continuous onslaught of quality metal and cheap booze.

Bunnies at Play in The Fez

The Official Playboy South Africa Launch Party (CT)

On Saturday 7 May 2011 trendy young Cape Tonians put the wag in swagger at The Fez Club to celebrate the arrival of Heff’s infamous billion-dollar empire, Playboy, on South African shores.

Much like the brand, the Playboy event boasted everything sexy and stylish with an extra little kick of flirty fun!

At 8pm, in Fez fashion, the red carpet rolled on out along the roadside that was on this exclusive occasion lined with gorgeous hunks of metal. Flaunting luxury and limited editions, the sexy cars included Austins, Jags and a personal favourite, the Mustang. Waiting in line has never been so exciting and tormenting at the same time. It’s one of those times when you want to grab your phone and take a picture but you choose to keep your cool instead – unfortunately this moment lasted longer than most while I stood in the freezing cold wearing the skimpiest, flashiest dress I own.

Thankfully, once in doors, the star-treatment and miniscule outfits remind oneself that this is Playboy. Pimping all things deliciously deranged, the event was a mix of beauty and the bizarre.

Local Play Bunnies tempt and tease their guests, pimping and preening in photographs. Still, the curvaceous bunny-girls were only one of the attractions. 16 entertainment acts including a line-up of top DJs rocked the booth, keeping the party pumping well into the next morning. There was also a Goat-man creeping around in long, furry hooves entertaining the audience, while burlesque dancers twisted and twirled through the crowds in strings of pearls and fushia-pink feathers… and very little else.

Apparently all the other girls got the ‘scantily clad’ memo as well. Cape-Town’s trendy party-girls undressed to impress along with chic budding celebs. The dance-floor ran rife with rumours of Stormers and Crusaders. High-class heroines took to the stage including trendy cover-girl, Tracy McGregor, Amy Tara Bridger, Tshego Seakgoe, Rhian Sugden & Landi Swanepoel. It was definitely the place to be seen.

A promising beginning for the brand in our country with a brilliantly successful launch in bag! Already available are Playboy SA magazines showing our local talent and national and globally related articles. If this event is an indication of excitement to come we can expect a whole lot more from Playboy; energy drinks, clothing lines, excessive and exclusive parties and of coarse what Playboy does best - entertainment!
