Nine Lives Supper Club Review

Posted on by

Nine Lives Supper Club is a hidden gem tucked away in a sleek, sophisticated oasis between the 4th and 5th floors of The Hyde Hotel in Rosebank, Johannesburg.

I attended the launch, and it was pure magic. Sleek lines, stylish design, and just the right kind of quiet, yet sexy, luxury that Joburg has been craving. The menu may be small, but every bite is a masterpiece. Their smoked olives are a revelation, and the cocktails/mocktails are worth every rand. Plus, they’ve even got Russian caviar flown in fresh from Moldova. It’s on the pricier side, but this is what you expect from a spot this refined.

Overall, Nine Lives is a sophisticated, sexy supper club, where you can experience curated tapas type food and drinks, with a small selection of main courses.

Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette on Disney+

Posted on by

In 1999, I was a young producer working at a production company in Cape Town, producing international commercials and dreaming big TV dreams. News travelled differently back then, whispered across edit suites, announced on radio bulletins, repeated in hushed conversations between takes.

That’s when I heard about the tragic plane crash that claimed the lives of John F. Kennedy Junior, his wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, and her sister Lauren Bessette.
And I remember something very clearly.
The world mourned “American royalty.” The headlines focused on JFK Jr. The glamour. The dynasty. The legacy.
But quietly, heartbreakingly, the Bessette family lost two daughters that day.
That stayed with me.

So when I saw that Disney+ had debuted the official trailer for FX’s limited series Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, it instantly took me back to that moment in 1999, to the shock, the disbelief. All 3 who passed were only in their thirties.

Straight off the bat, I can honestly say that Emma Stone deserves an Oscar for her performance in “Poor Things“.

Here’s why:

Bella Baxter (played by star and producer Emma Stone) is brought back from the brink of death by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (played by Willem Dafoe). Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (played by Mark Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.
