Launch of 3Sixty Liquid Lounge at Montecasino
Montecasino was abuzz last Thursday night with the launch of its newest, exquisite restaurant called 3Sixty Liquid Lounge.
We were greeted by ladies dressed like butterflies and welcome drinks, and then lead to our tables by very helpful staff.
Nobody Puts Baby In A Corner
I finally went to see the Dirty Dancing stage play the other night at the Teatro at Montecasino, Johannesburg. Many of the good seats were sold out for a while so sitting 6 rows from the stage was a real coup and a perfect location.
I first saw the original movie back in 1987 when I was in Standard 6 (Grade 8) at the Cine 400 bioscope (as we used to call the cinema) in Rylands, Cape Town, and it was recently on the DSTV movie loop, which refreshed my memories once again.
Watching it on stage was totally magnificent! The singing, dancing and costumes were superb, but the American accent of Johnny Castle, played by Gareth Bailey, swayed like the stunning 60’s dresses worn by the female cast. Kudos to the lead actress, Bryony Whitfield. It felt like she was channeling Jennifer Grey in her performance as Frances “Baby” Houseman.
Lady Gaga “Born this Way Ball” hits Jozi
So everyone and their aunty is attending tonight’s Lady Gaga concert in Jozi, besides me. Tickets sold out faster than melting ice on a hot summer’s day, so alas, I am not attending *sigh* But here are some pics of fans who are gaga for Gaga and mimicked her trademark over the top look, at the Big Concerts event.
Welcome to Mzansi Life & Style!
I started this blog because I love Mzansi (South Africa) and I want to showcase the stunning style, happenings and life that is all part and parcel of living at the Southern tip of Africa.
I was born in beautiful Cape Town and migrated to Jozi (Johannesburg) in 2003 for work purposes. Attending functions, parties, launches and site-seeing became part of my life, coupled with sourcing celebs for the show I content produced (Spirit Sundae on SABC1). Besides this, getting to know the highways and byways of Jozi, increasing my social circle and having ambrosial culinary experiences begs to be documented. And since my being hired as a Lifestyle Editor for a local glossy is as rare as winning the Lotto, I decided to make this blog one of my dream jobs.
So, you can look forward to highlights of events, what’s hip ‘n happening, behind the scenes of shoots with celebs and my own personal sartorial elegance.
First pic – the very practical and comfortable, yet stylish, Black Coffee Concept Dress that I wore to this year’s SA Music Awards.
