Our Own Gamechangers

It might not seem to be a pretty good time to be a South African right now when you consider all the social issues that are occurring in our country. There are some moments though that should make us a little more patriotic. These are the fact that our fashion industry is becoming well- recognized not only in the rest of Africa but to the rest of the world for many reasons but currently due to David Tlale's collaboration with Avon. 
The Avon woman would have access to the beautiful creations of the iconic David Tlale. The items that stand out for me personally are the bags which have a gorgeous tribal print. The sunglasses are very Jackie - O inspired which signify style and grace. The collection will be on sale from 1 March 2020.


The other South African who made their mark on the international front is none other than one of our favourite "IT girls" Miss Pearl Thusi. The actress, radio personality and all around multi-tasker was recently named the African brand ambassador for international beauty giant Mac Cosmetics. The actress who already made waves as the lead actress in Netflix's first African production, Queen Sono was announced as the new brand ambassador for MAC joining the likes of international stars Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj etc.

The range will include a mini-kit titled "Power" which includes a black eyeliner and matte red lipstick appropriated named "Diva". There is also the more subtle "Me" kit which ensures the consumer has a radiant and natural look. This is comprised of a face powder, mascara,hydrating make-up setting spray mist and a satin lipstick in a peachy pink shade.

These two players have proven that anything is possible if you just put in the work. This has been the underlying message in the careers of Bonang Matheba, Black Coffee and Trevor Noah. I hope we can continue slaying on the international front.

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 REAL HOUSEWIVES CORNER..........

It cannot be argued that one of the biggest reality tv franchises that have captured the world is the Real Housewives franchise. I am a dedicated fan and I am a follower of most of the cities. I will be using this segment of the blog to comment on the Real Housewives franchises so enjoy..... 1. The introduction of The Real Housewives of Lagos I must say that today was a significant day for the African Real Housewives franchises because they just received serious competition in the form of the ladies of Lagos. The premiere episode contained what I love in every premiere Real Housewives episode; we got a glimpse into the lives of five of the ladies and the episode contained both a touch of shade and humor. The only criticism I have is that the producers spent way too much screentime on each cast member this resulted in us as the viewers not getting enough scenes of the ladies interacting together but it was sufficient to get us to tune in next week. I must say I already have a few favori...
