This is what I've been up to!

So you probably wondered where the hell I am and why I'm so quiet on the blogging front? I've been an extremely busy girl, being very productive with my modeling career.


First up was the photo shoot with with Alyssa Buttgen (fellow model and Sports Illustrated New Model Search hopeful) and Martin Tucker (The Keg King), done by the talented photographer, Robert Miller, for the final NoMU poster campaign! The poster should be up in May at the Engen on Orange, so be sure to get your pose on! Trust me, NoMU is ending this poster campaign with a bang. To coincide with the launch of their latest product, drinking chocolate (there goes my diet), the theme chosen is: The Final Temptation of The Keg King: Hot or Cold. I think it's rather brilliant, because not only is The Keg King torn between the hot (devilish, me) or cold (angel faced, Alyssa) girls, but he can't decide whether he wants his drinking chocolate hot or cold. And trust me, either way is just simply delicious! Well done on this fabulous product, NoMU! Peeps, keep your eyes on my blog and NoMU's website for details on how to enter and what the prizes are. I WISH I could enter!

Michelle Dickman is the MUA of choice! We love her.

The lighting had to be perfect!

Death by drinking chocolate!

Look mom, no hands.

Nothing 'cold' about this angel.

And so the #hotorcold Tweetfest started!

It's good to be The King!

Two days later I attended a National Cleavage Day party, held at one of my favourite party spots, Living Room, to be part of a fashion show. At first I imagined 'ramp', which is not my forte, but this was a fashion show like no other. They turned the VIP area into a mini studio and did a live photo shoot while everyone partied and watched and took photos. We were five models and each changed into four different lingerie sets. At the same time it was a launch for a new lingerie label, French Knickers. They're stuff are really so amazing and sexy! I will post more about this in the near future. Overall, the evening was a huge success and such a cool experience!

We started around 23h00 and finished close to 03h00! Some behind-the-scenes photos:

The Burlesque scene was first up!

Tequila for the nerves.

After the show, we partied and celebrated National Cleavage Day!

The following evening I went to Ceres for my cousin's dress-up party! I went as a Playboy bunny. Obviously.

My cousin really needs to change the date setting on her camera.

Pixie, Playboy bunny and Pregant Pink lady. Can you guess the theme?

Whoops!

So, next on my to-do list was the casting call for Playboy SA!

Waiting in the hotel room at the Pepper Club Hotel, where the casting was held, and ready to show them what I've got! The May issue of Playboy in my hand.

Some of the photos they sent me. 

For the casting, the girls had to pose in lingerie, then topless, followed by an interview while everything got video recorded. Clips of the day were published on zoopy.com later that day. Each girl had 30min for the casting. It went really great and I wasn't nervous at all. The people from Playboy were extremely nice and made me feel very comfortable! Now for the big wait!

What else have I been up to? Let's see...

I featured on Beach Watch and I'm the Bounce Girl for May. Read the interview, view the photos and download the May calendar on The Bounce, here. I also did an interview this morning with a JHB based newspaper, with regards to a certain challenge I accepted should the Boks win the rugby world cup. So, again, keep your eyes on my blog.

Then after all the hard work, I partied some more, held babies, went shopping, dumped the boyfriend, signed with an agency, ate loads of Easter eggs and did all the things girls do!

At Scarlet Lounge

One of my best friends had the most beautiful baby girl! I think this is a good look for me.

Partying with my cousin!

And that's it for now! Enjoy the long weekend!

Take care, folks!

Robert Miller Photo Shoot - Behind the scenes!

I spent my Women's Day in a really sexy and unique way! Yesterday was the photo shoot I've been telling everyone about and boy did I have fun. I was very very shy in the beginning, but after two bottles of champagne and loads of pep-talking from Robert, I loosened up. I definitely take my hat off to models who do this everyday, because posing is really hard work. I was taught how every move and pose has to be exaggerated - pushing out my ass and squeezing it tight, standing on my toes, pulling in my stomach, relaxing my shoulders and trying to look gorgeous - while balancing on a wooden block wearing high heels. As soon as I felt uncomfortable, that's when I knew I was doing the right pose!

I have done a few photo shoots in my life, but this one tops them all. By far! It started off with me wearing a playboy bunny suit, which just about covered the bits. Those were for the NoMU poster. Then we switched over to some lingerie shots and by then I was completely comfortable.

Robert Miller took really great care of me and, as always, his photos came out great! My make-up was done by Diane Bessesen and the stylist was Zelda Minnaar. Great ladies and so much fun to work with. Diane did such a great job with my hair and make-up, and I'm usually extremely fussy about this. Zelda made sure I looked great, helped me get dressed, fixed my hair when needed, wrapped me in a blanket during breaks and even topped up my champagne!

Here are some behind-the-scenes pictures...

Robert showing me some of the pictures. Judging by his body language, he seemed pleased.

Yup, we're definitely pleased!

Taking a quick break!

I found this hat in the dressing room. And that's NOT a slanket I'm wearing!

Hard at work!

The final result!

It was such a great experience and I really wish I get to do this more often! Really!! Visit my blog again real soon to see the lingerie shots. I've received two photos so far and I absolutely LOVE it. I can't wait to share it with you.
