Christmas Trees and Christian Louboutins in Hyde Park

A few days off at the game farm before I resume filming again was more than enough to make me forget not only the day of the week but also the time of the year. 


In 100 degree heat you can agree it's easy to let slip  that it's once again time to deck the halls in the hopes that Santa's email was down and he never heard how bad you'd been before he placed the order for your trinkets. When I returned to civilisation and an unfortunate overworked email of my own, I was reminded that it is almost time for the annual christmas tree lighting. An honor that was bestowed upon myself in the past along with Catriona Andrew and Grethe Fox.

This is always a night of red dresses, simles and festive fun, as we can clearly see from Liezl at last year's event. Incidentally, Liezl and I just shot a cover together all dressed in red - but that's another blog.

Looking forward to champagne and christmas cheer on the 28th of November!! Watch out for pics....

Going green never looked this good

So, Jill Grogor's Go Green Art/Fashion show went really well. I got to wear a stunning Prada coat from Callaghan and managed to keep upright in the face of the dried leaves that were scattered all over the floor. My fellow celeb models were Jennifer Su, Loui Fish and Christina Storm who all looked absolutely stunning in fashion from Hyde Park, especially Loui who needs to share her diet secrets with me.

There was also a really cool art auction to raise funds for Food and Trees for Africa. 10 established and upcoming  artists donated work, of which 7 were sold, raising R131000 so far. Legacy also donated an all expenses paid holiday at their new Eco lodge in Madagascar worth R70 000 to the highest art bidder. This little bit of deliciousness went to my awesome friend, actress Catriona Andrew.

The take home treat that makes any function worth while is the goodie bag and this one did not disappoint. Thank you Lindt, Clarins, Mischa Estate wine, Dossier magazine and Glaceau Vitamin Water!
