It's Friday and I...

... hate photo-bombers! Seriously. Who is that guy?

... should hear the outcome from Playboy SA soon!

... had some errors with Blogger, but I'm back online and will still blog about the Playboy dinner at Zorgvliet! Rather late than never!

... am so in love with Lady Gaga's new song, Judas.

... was a judge last night at a local high school for their annual pageant! It was so much fun, but really hard to choose just one! I use to take part in that exact competition back in the day! Memories. Gotta love it.

... feel like a change. So I'm gonna start small by putting highlights in my hair.

... have started a Friday tradition: herbal tea and a salad at Java in Stellenbosch with my cousin. Stellenbosch is my happy place.

... want you to enter the NoMU poster competition! Head to the Engen on Orange, look out for the NoMU poster, do a funky pose next to it (be creative), take a photo and mail it to entries@nomu.co.za. And voila, Bob's your uncle. ONE person can win some serious prizes. I'm talking R40 000 in prizes. You have 11 days left to enter! Do it. Do it for the pin-up girls and guy who can't enter this awesome competition!

... have been asked to pose for Breast Cancer Awareness again, but this time I'm involving other women too to do a group photo. The message being carried across is 'women supporting each other'.

... have postponed my Johannesburg trip, but I will visit real soon. Promise.

... am back at gym in full swing, doing loads of cardio, weights, stretching, sauna- and yoga sessions! Let's hope the health binge lasts.

... find that if I browse through pictures of hot models, it motivates me to get in shape and it keeps me focussed with my eye set on the prize. Try it.

... am off to indulge in my newest tradition.

Happy Friday folks!

It's Friday and I...

... am taking it off for a photo shoot in aid of Breast Cancer Awareness!

... just want everyone to know that it's not a 'career move', but that I truly support this cause from the bottom of my heart and if I can raise money to pay for the operations (to remove the cancer tissue in breasts before it spreads to other parts in the body) just by taking my top off, then I'll do it! Screw those who believe otherwise.

... know my decision has created some controversy, but my mind's made up!
... am looking forward to working with Naco Rautenbach (photographer) and Michelle Dickman (make-up artist) again!
... decided on a forest for the shoot, seeing that the Breast Cancer Association gave me free range.

... am in a small fashion show tomorrow! Kinda excited. It's been ages since I last walked the ramp.

... will be in the Rapport newspaper again on Sunday, along with two other hopefuls who won in previous weeks, with voting details. Please vote for me! The winner will be 'Miss June' in their 2012 calendar.

... can also be voted for in the FHM 100 Sexiest, by sms'ing SEXY YOLANDI MALHERBE to 34973. Just by voting, you stand in line to win some fab prizes!

... have two blog posts coming soon! One about the KFM Kday (rather late than never) and the other about our cooking lesson with chef, Neill Anthony.

... have my money on the Stormers tomorrow. They are playing at Newlands against the Western Force. I will be watching the game at Newlands in the Evox Box.  
... did an interview with MojoDojo earlier this week. Have a look here if you haven't seen it yet. New photos of me are also in their site, plus a free wallpaper which you can download in high-res. From me, with love.
... am going to try and gym tonight. Yes, it seems this socialite is calming down, but don't get too use to it!

Happy Friday! Jeez, can't believe the week went by so quick!

It's Friday and I...

... am really looking forward to tomorrow's J&B Met.

... will definitely take photos and a video clip to show you.
... am so stiff from all yesterday's activities at our teambuilding.
... can't wait for our mani and pedi night with the girls. Much needed and long overdue!
... am super busy arranging two baby showers! I've always promised them kick-ass baby showers. I just didn't know they'll fall pregnant at the same time!
... have already started my 25th birthday party arrangements. It will be a joint party with one of my best friends and the theme is diamonds and denim. And everyone is invited!
... went on a crap cabbage soup diet this week! All that effort and I only lost 1kg. Not cool.
... will rather exercise 4 hours everyday instead of watching what I eat. I love food too much!
... am really happy and relieved that Nelson Mandela has been discharged from Milpark Hospital. He is receiving home-based care and doing fine.

Happy Friday everyone! Anyone else going to the Met?

... have started with my Christmas shopping. It is my favourite time of the year.
... will be on leave in less than a month. Bring on the holiday and relaxation!
... love my dark hair, but I'm over the fringe. Even though it looks cool, it's so unpractical on hot days.
... am just going to take it easy this weekend, because next weekend I have to squeeze in four events in three days PLUS packing. I'm going to need loads of energy drinks or super powers.

Happy Friday everyone!

Things I can't say NO to... #009

I have a really bad weakness for a hot man! Ok, I've heard I've got really weird taste, but I like the good 'ol tall, dark, handsome, fairly-haired bad boys with nice arms. As in, tanned, ripped and strong arms. I don't really like the Zac Efrons or the Robert Pattinsons. I dream about want lust after stalk like obsess prefer the Gerard Butlers and the Robbie Williams type. *Ahem* where was I? Ah yes, hot men. To me, hot bodies are far more important than looks. And of course other things matter like intelligence, manners, bank account blah blah blah. If you have a hot bod, chances are, you'll grab my attention. Simply because, I can't say no. When I was at the Women's Day party, not all the promo guys were hot, but there were a few. You can probably guess from who I bought all my shooters...

Ladies, don't you agree? No? Look at these pics - it'll convince you. And men, these pics should be some motivation to get your ass in the gym!

Christiano is the reason I watch soccer!

 Uhm, how about NO

This is more like it!

Someone slice me a piece of this beefcake.

Ok Zac, you convinced me. You can stay.

I'm shallow, but I'll admit it!

More unwritten rules of a gym!

Previously I enlightened you on the top 5 rules of a gym - forgotten already, then let me refresh your memory - but it has come to my attention that there are more unwritten, yet very important, rules!

1. Don't you just hate it when you are there to actually gym and get a proper work-out when some lazy ass, or those imonlyheretolookpretty type, person comes and talks shit to you? Honestly, who cares? Don't interrupt us with your nonsense, unless it is of vital importance, like a bomb-threat. Otherwise, no chit-chat. Please.

2. Rack your weights, dumbass. S'all I have to say.

3. Ok, so this rule isn't unwritten, yet people don't abide by it. So, allow me to tell you how gross it is when you don't wipe your gym equipment when you're done. There is just nothing like the smell, and sight, of human bodily fluid to get my gag-reflexes working.

4. We don't just all stand in an orderly line for our own pleasure. Wait in line for the treadmills bitches. In general, queue skipping is just plain rude.

5. Relaxing in the sauna, after a long day and hard work-out, is really just so, well, erm, relaxing. It's especially nice if the temperature is not too hot, as in, not being able to breathe! Until some selfish person comes along and pours water all over the charcoal, which sends the temperature through the roof and sends me out of there! The idea is to sweat, not to dehydrate. The rule here is something yo mama taught you years ago: always ask before doing something. Politeness is what it's all about.

Ok, let's see how long before I've discovered more unwritten rules. But for that, I guess, I actually have to go to gym again.

The unwritten rules of a Gym!

Ok peeps, if you belong to a gym, or rather, if you actually go to gym, these are the unwritten rules to adhere to. It’s the small things that will make my 2-hour session less stressful.

1. When you go up or down the stairs, it pretty much works like traffic. Keep left, pass right. If you decide that, for some outlandish reason much to my provocation, to walk in the middle, you will be causing a major pile-up. Remember, we’re there to destress and we can’t start off on the wrong foot.

2. It’s really uncool just plain effing inconsiderate to leave your sweat towel on gym equipment while using a different machine. You can’t ‘book’ a machine. Finish up where you are and then join the queue for the next machine. I refer back to rule #1: never cause a pile-up.

3. By the time I get to gym, I’ve had a really long day and I’m way pass the point of starving, so it’s not only breaking the rules, but also very cruel for Kauai staff to bake blueberry muffins! I can’t run on a treadmill, concentrating on my exercise, when all I can think of are those muffins in the oven. No delicious aromas of muffins, toast or fresh coffee may linger near me.

4. Not everybody is blessed with a hot body that hardly requires any effort or diet (I’m not one of those), so if you are, don’t rub it in my face. Gawd, don’t wear push-up sports bras (they don’t even exist, so just remove that padding, darling) or hot pants to gym. Apart from it being slutty and totally inappropriate for gym, it screams ‘look at me, look at my tight ass’. The rule here? Don’t wear gym ‘attire’ that has me blushing!

5. There are some real hotties at gym whose shirts cling to their ripped chests and, if you’re lucky, their sweat might allow you to see a bit more flesh. Drool, but don’t stare. There are often ex-gymnasts doing stretches that will totally dislocate me if I were to attempt. So they can split, just don’t stare. There are always those who still gym in bright 80’s aerobics-wear with headbands and legwarmers. It is entertaining, but don’t stare. I might even do some weird exercise, which has never been heard of before, and put myself in an uncomfortable squatting position. I've got a goal, so don’t stare. Please.

Let's all stick to these rules from now on, Capisce?
