Vogue honours Woman of the Year

Like, REALLY Vogue?

Under normal circumstances, I almost always agree with what Vogue "says". But this one...hhayi, this one I just can't wrap my little head around. Why, in the name of Jesus' nuts, would you crown HER Woman of the Year? She's only 23 (her bank of experience isn't even half full) and she's not even that pretty! Such an astute publication botching one of the only award thingamajigs I actually like! More about the winner after the jump...

Understated

I just fell in love with this picture.

Remember Da Brat?

From this (up there) to this (down here).... I'm at a loss for words, and not in that nice, fuzzy "I'm so glad she grew up" way. It's more like "Why'd she have to grow up at all?" It's just not on. I miss her slutty looking days, when female rappers still had a place in the music scene. Da Brat just looks like someone's gran! Sadness...

Vibe Magazine just killed this girl. No-one can bounce back from this...No-one!

Divorce Highway is still backed up with traffic

Unless Kim is willing to put her ass aside and get back with Reggie Bush, this marriage is already stuck in Hollywood Divorce traffic and they haven't even  exchanged their "I dos" yet!

Soulja Boy done did it now!!

So while you and I are bitching and whining about our anorexic purses, Soulja Boy's asset count is on steroids! This dude (yes, that word still exists) bought himself a $55 million private jet for his birthday this week.

As if that weren't enough, Soulja Boy's said to be expected to blow another $300 000 to celebrate his 21st birthday at a private event at some or other nightclub in Los Angeles! This is according to TMZ.

And here I am, content with a call from my mom!

SIDEWALK SALE!

Here's my little prayer for today and every other day I decide to blow my Mbowenis (it can't still be called Mbowenis though, right?) Anyways, here goes: "God, I know you exist, I just know. I'm going shopping today so please grant me the wisdom to purchase items that will grant me eternal material happiness. Amen."

Sidewalk sale starting TODAY at The Zone in Rosebank. I'm headed straight there after I take care of business.

So what if I'm a hippie

Last night my mom voiced her concerns about my lifestyle etching closer and closer to the hippie side! I couldn't help but break into a torrent of laughter because, if I'm being totally honest with myself, I actually am happy being a hippie coz it kinda  means I'm cool (right??). I'm not too sure what it would take for me to be completely classified a hippie, but I'll find out, and when I do I'll be all-encompassing you'll have to do a double take just to make sure you're in the right era



This is what stress does to you

Hell of a week

So I was absent without leave for the past week and what I come back to is a torrent of emails demanding CrazyBlackVirgin "get off your ass and back to work..." and who am I not to oblige to my dear reader?! So here I am: once again at you beck and call

I was in a very negative emotional space last week and thought it best not to marr the stellar image of the blog y'all have come to love with my depressing posts.

Tomorrow's a brand spanking new day ☺

Playboy replaces girl with woman -> HUH?

Anything that involves the Hef always mildly amuses me and although this latest report has no direct link to him, I can't help but chuckle.  PLAYBOY, Editor-in-chief, Charl du Plessis, has announced that they have deleted the word 'girl' from their magazine and they have replaced it with the words 'woman'or model.

 

Never say this to your man

I've been down the relationship road quite a few times and, being the motormouth that I am, have always managed to blurt out shit that should've stayed locked up in my little head. So Tania Khadder, who seems more enlightened with what you should never say to your mutual other, has written this self-help thing-a-majig to help keep the peace (unless you're gatvol of the bastard and are deliberately setting shit off)!

IGNORE AT YOUR OWN RISK 

Kim Kardashian wedding date revealed

Kim Kardashian, (who shot to fame when her sex tape with Ray J) and Kris Humphries have set a date to exchange their nuptuals - and it's really soon!

Beyonce running FASHION!

Gareth Pugh

I've got this gem's latest album "4" on high rotation, and I'm deeming it safe to conclude Beyonce's going down as a musical legend. That's about all I thought she was good for until I came across these beauties... There really isn't much I have to say about these pics: the artistry is impeccable...the designs are flawless and the life she breathes into these stills is stuff models still can't get right! Hell, I'm in complete awe of this woman. Beyonce's THE ISH whether you're big enough to admit it or not.

Cape Town Fashion Week

Cape Town Fashion Week (#CTFW) starts TONIGHT, and this popular fashion event promises to be an incredible show. Spanning over three days, designers such as Thula Sindi, David Tlale, Gavin Rajah, Lalesso, House of Monatic, Abigail Betz and others will be showing their Spring/Summer 2011 looks.

Jimmy Choo break-in

According to UK Vogue: "Jimmy Choo this week became the latest target of smash-and-grab robbers attacking luxury stores in the West End (London). The shoe label's Bond Street store was raided on Tuesday night, and thieves escaped with £40,000-worth of handbags, although no shoes were taken.

Hard Candy

If you're a working citizen, 7 times out of time, you're working under pressure. Today falls in the 7 category for me and right about now I need a break! Some people prefer to step out the building, take a walk, you know...all of that normal shit! I, on the other hand choose to seek refuge on the net by scouring for hot, buff things that get to be touched by their blessed significant others. MEN ☺ Yum, yum

The makings of an "IT" girl

Not enough of these beauts to go around

It's a sad reality I wake up to every morning in this country. In SA, all you need to be deemed an "it" girl is a television cameo! Case in point: Minenhle Dlamini. I'll never be in support of the lack of criteria needed to be fulfilled to be crowned SA's next best thing and I blame it on the South African public who have made it a point to abuse the term "celebrity" and apply it to every video vixen in town. Have your name mentioned in any one of the many Sunday publications and YEAY, you've made it and are immediately excused for acting life self-proclaimed diva Diana Ross! Bitch please- you know you  ain't god for shiyit! Here's MY criteria to be the legIT girl this country so desperately needs.

Do it like a dude!

I like the this trend: preppy, high-end coctail party-ish. Add a swish of red lips and tons of hair gel and you're good to go. Dressed-up menswear is a neat alternative for the evening - add a touch of glamour with silk ties, cummerbunds, and tuxedos. A pair of sparkly trousers, teamed with a plunging shirt and heels and you're A for away! These are my faves from the big boys:

Bow Wow's baby momma drama!!!

They grow up so fast shem! 24 year old rapper Bow Wow’s baby momma Joie Chavis refuses to stay hush about her relationship with Bow Wow, admitting that the public letter he had written did upset her. The interview below (with The Grind) hints at the fire that's surely headed at the young rappers direction.

Beckham's daughter scarred at birth

I swear if the Beckhams were South African they'd be Xhosa (they run the world when it comes to weird names...Notrain, Nomabarbwire etcetera, etcetera!). But since they're in the States now, they've managed to convince me that Hollywood turns people into weirdos, especially new parents. Seriously.
Yesterday I wrote about the Beckham's newest member in Victoria and Becks' welcome first daughter and they hadn't named the little one. But they have now, and boooy did they knock me for a six!

Rihanna jumps in the sack with Armani

I'm not the biggest fan of this chikka but props have to be dished where props are deserved. News is this "What's my Name" vocalist is replacing Megan Fox as the new spokesperson for Emporio Armani. She's said to be modelling for Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans.

Art at its best

I came across this artwork by accident (i misspelt a web address) and was in complete awe of the artistry I found there. The effort employed here is the stuff  envy should be made of! The embroidery...the colours...
The artists, Antonio Santin and Maurizio Anzeri, have more amazing work on their websites. I ♥♥♥ these guys work!

Hope you're as mesmerised as I was...

Victoria and Becks' welcome first daughter

Apart from continuously praying I'd go back to being a size 4, I've been praying with equal might that the Beckhams have a baby girl. My first prayer is yet to be answered, but last night it became clear the God's haven't forsaken me completely when the most stylish family in the limelight shed tears on the arrival of their newest member.

Beyonce marries another dude!

When Beyoncé married Jay-Z in 2008 it was a small, quiet affair-we never even saw her dress. But now...

Roberto Cavalli goes into great detail in this interview with Elle's Nick Axelrod.

My Mandela Day woes

I'm a good person (that's when I'm not cussing at beggars and turning a blind eye to street kids). Maybe let's try rephrase that: I'm TRYING to be a good person but, not unlike many people, the snob in me tends to reign supreme and hold me back from stretching my opportunities to benefit the less fortunate. So it's when Pops Mandela grows a year older that I feel most judged for not doing jack! There are certain projects I've worked on before, but those are not enough to write home about.

We're staying black

Always a hit, tried and trusted intestine knotter! If you've had nothing planned for the 30th of July, I just gave you a plan! Tickets are obviously on available at Computicket

Amber Rose explicit pics

 

American model Amber Rose has been dropped from her modelling contract after explicit (pornographic, actually) pictures of her emerged online this week. Kanye West’s former girlfriend revealed to followers on Twitter that CAA agency ‘no longer wants to work with me’. Graphic nude photographs, too crude to publish, circulated on the web yesterday after Rose reportedly sent the images of herself to Nicki Minaj’s then-boyfriend.

Kate Moss gets hitched

 
"O gat" is what I first said when I learnt of Kate Moss's wedding to her rocker boyfriend of 4 years. Then something else flashed through my mind: was she sober? Then I wanted to see the snapshots, then I wanted to analyse the makeup...finally I decide to post it up all here...

A royal affair!

So last night I indicated how unfazed I was by this wedding. Firstly, the couple need lessons on how to look alive! I made a decision I wasn't going to watch the wedding a while ago when I saw an interview with the then bride-to-be on an episode of Top Billing. But I do realise that a lot of people do want to know what went down at the royal affair so I read up a bit on the whole thing, found a few photos and this is what it kinda looked like.

Nothing but a lot to say!

I'm drunk and I'm high! There's nothing to excuse my state of being, but that doesn't chane the fact that I'm drunk and I'm flying waaaaaay high. There are a few things on my mind though: Dear Vodacome: it takes more than an apologetic text to frgive an almost ruined web business. Charlene Woodstock, or whatever the hell your maiden surname is, I truly don't give a toss about what you wore. All that matters is that you looked like a sour little lemon so that's all I'll focus my energy on. The horses ran and (some) wore expensive outfits on the social front.: some looked acceptable, most bordered on RIDICULOUS!
