2018 MET GALA ROUNDUP

The biggest night in fashion was held on Monday 7 May 2018 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in my favourite city in the world (one day I'll be happy to say I've been there) New York City. The theme for this year was Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, basically a Madonna tribute since she has been wearing religious jewellery since the 1980's.

The co-chair for the event was Donatella Versace and the co-hosts were Rihanna and Amal Clooney. The outfits were fabulous, some were not so impressive. There were some obvious absentees such as Beyonce. I was overally impressed with the looks that the A-list served at the Oscars of fashion.

Here are our favourite looks from the night.

Roundup: ‘Blood Legacy’

The latest release from Gambit Productions ‘Blood Legacy’ has just rightfully earned its spot on the list of the productions that have set the bar amongst this year’s releases with its stellar cast and quality production aesthetic that has had South Africa buzzing with excitement. You know those goosebumps you feel after watching a trailer for an upcoming Netflix or Showmax release, that is what I felt after I watched the trailer for Blood Legacy for the first time. The show which is set in Durban lived up to the standards that were set by the trailer. A great cast is the key ingredient The first aspect of the show that grabs your attention when you watch the first episode is the amazing casting. The combination of the legendary, veteran and the up-and-coming actors that we are lucky to have here in South Africa can be found on the show. The legendary would be the late Connie Chiume and Sello Maake Ka-Ncube, the veterans would be Xolile Tshabalala, Pallance Dladla, Enhle...

THE IMIBALA UNPLUGGED SESSIONS

The talented Tarynne Swartz and her team at Pachamama productions have done it again. I am proud to officially announce the Imibala Unplugged Sessions which will be taking place 28 July at 51 Sherlock Street Richmond Hill. The event will run from 15:00 until 18:00. As a lover of live music, I am definitely excited for the event. The event line-up includes talented artists such Tarynne Swarts, Z'afrotronix, The Scheubles, Lora Joplin, African Stars and many more. This is a great platform for local artists as such events are rare to find here in our beautiful Port Elizabeth. The best thing is that this is not the only gift we can expect from the Imibala team. There will be other musical event during the remainder of the year such as the Imibala Festival (cross cultures/cross colours) which will take place on 24 November 2018. So we should clear our schedule for that day as we at Buzz about Town will definitely be there. The objective of the unplugged sess...

Entertainment Roundup!

Hey darlings so this week was a bit of a slow week in terms of entertainment news but there were definitely some happenings that deserve to be noted. Sourced from https://thatgrapejuice.net 1) Kanye West to release a new album today Well according to the trusted resources the word on the street is that Kanye West is finally releasing a follow-up to the masterpiece that was 'Life of Pablo'. The new album is titled 'Jesus is King'. This is not surprising as Kanye has been hosting Sunday service performances all in the narrative that he is 'born again'. I have to say that after watching the trailer for the visual album which was released on 17 October. The visual album was directed by acclaimed director, Nick Knight. The setting of the visual album is the Painted desert of Arizona where one of his Sunday services have taken place. The hype of the trailer was followed by the release of the official tracklist of the album. I must admit that when it com...
