Page 3

Had a minor disappointment today, no behind the scene pics of a rather nice page 3 shoot. But no biggie, it’s more a postponement to something rather killer that's on the horizon. So still coming soon... Grrrr!

However to keep you (and me) going, I give you Girlie! Yeah! I know! Name comes straight out of a fantasy of some sort... anyway she is going to be the first girl to take the often underrated page 3 pic to new levels. The evil, and rather stylish, genius behind it is the ever unflappable Miss Laing, Mpho for short. More on her now now.


More on Girlie? Yes please. Girlie is currently working towards her CIMA, she is also a student of the infamous MAP (Maru-a-pula if you are into tongue twisters) so she is certifiably fab, independent minded, educated, cultured and living la vida right now. Plus she is hot... even here as she is reporting the ATM that made a late night snack of her debit card.

Begging is a daily operation until I get the behind the scene shots of the shoot, which saw Girlie get made-up by a Philippino make-up artist, pics shot by a Nigerian photographer and hair styled by a Zimbabwean hair stylist. With a Motswana stylist heading up the team it was just the united states of style.

You see this space...?

...Keep watching.

Solid gold hits

Botswana is on some missing link tip with the sort of beauty stuff you find lurking in plain sight. Blink and it stays right there, blinding you with bling instead. This is Sega, well before I knew here name she was a Bos Babe. Hip hop heavy weight (and the boy is big!) K-Bos, launched a hip hop Album and it was rocking by all accounts... I missed the show but was glad not to miss this main event.

OK let me take you through what we have here. Leather jacket, customised buttons (sprayed GOLD) GOLD bangle, GOLD nibbled fingernails, GOLD hoop earrings, and black t-shirt with GOLD lettering (bos babe) GOLD embellishments on jeans, GOLD sneakers, GOLD cellphones... and I would like to think a heart of GOLD under all this cuteness. Striking in that it wasn't over the top

Sega is an architecture student, model (sort of... she is in the premier edition of HUB magazine, Botswana's latest young people driven mag on hip hop. More on that in a sec) and from what she said a free spirit that just loves life, dancing and is inspired. She certainly inspired me. My blog has been getting no love, so its time to hit you with some solid GOLD updates and musings.

Thanks Sega.
