Hello hello everybunny!!

Sorry I haven't been online much, I'm busy with exams.
And, sadly, this will be my last blog of the month+insert collective "aaaaw"+

You know eventually I always knew I'd find my own style of blogging and fall into a kind of signature pattern.
I wondered what this would be.. Would I be a documentary blogger.. a judgemental blogger.. An annoying blogger who whines about her life.. But alas no, it seems I now have my answer..
I... am... a... FOOD BLOGGER!!

It's true, I can't resist plying you all with loads and loads of information about culinary delights, I'm just really mad about food!! So without further adieu..

The past week in food..

Last weekend my parents were out of town and, instead of partying up a storm as most girls my age would, i stayed in and ate junk and watched movies til wee hours of the morning.
It was FANTASTIC. Especially seeing as how my parents are so erratic about healthy eating.
As a great gesture of rebellion, this is what I had for dinner on Friday night..



Chocolate covered marshmallows and strawberry's, completely underrated as far as simple delights go.

But then i woke up super hungry and made my signature baked omlette for breakfast..


This is something Italian but I can't remember the name for it right now.
Needless to say, it's REALLY good and I highly recommend you not die without having eaten it.
There will be a black hole in your existence.

And I also made pasta.. which I just reheated again repeatedly cause i was too lazy to cook. Cooking really isn't my strong point


The past week flew by in such a blur. I had a monumental Gossip Girl marathon

(all five seasons, it was brainwashing. I've been having GG dreams ALL WEEK:eek in and among studying for my exams that I'm really dreading.
I'm such an over-achiever and I normally stress myself out to the limit.

Looooook at this super cute teddy my dad got at work




For mother's day yesterday, we went with my gram's to Sandton Square for dinner.
There's this really huge statue of Nelson Mandela in the middle of the square, it's pretty awesome.



I had this really nice pasta with prawns in it. I LOVE prawns..



Also, i baked like THE greatest choc-chip cappuccino muffins in the history of forever!!




I also got to spend some time on SG Chat and met the amazing Countessa..
Who has a great new set in MR that you should all check out



She'a areal sweetheart..

Anyway!!
That's it for now guys..
I will see you all next month



I love you!!

Hello hello everybunny!!

I haven't been on the site in a while because our internet went down. I was so sad
So, sorry for not making a blog last week.. But I DID make two the week before so we'll call it even

Firstly, I'd like to thank each and every person who showed my set so much love when it was FP.. I really do appreciate it so much

For those who missed this momentous occasion..


You're welcome

I'm really happy with this set. I suppose it is better than my last because it already has more comments than my last set and they went up six months apart! Yay me



Moving along..
As you probably expect, it's time to talk about food!!

I know you all probably wonder why I'm not fatter and occasionally (usually somewhere between my second and fifth slice of cake) I do wonder this myself.

Anyway this weekend my sister's boyfriend flew down from Germany to ask my father's permisssion for her hand in marriage. Awwww

To mark said occasion, I had to bake.
Yes, me. Why? because my sister is less domesticated than a playmate, that's why.

I was happy to do it though ,as you all know. I won't go into my usual babble of ingredients and methods ect. If you'd like a recipe, inbox me.
But, when he got here, they had tea. And this is what I made.




Ginger cookies


Butter cookies


Lemon cheesecake


Chocolate cake

It was all very yummy and only lasted a day because I live with vultures.
Moving on..

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I'm a bit musical. I've recently started making little video's for this site of me playing my pretty piano and singing.
Let me introduce to you my babies..

I play 3 instruments. I wish they were cool instruments like guitar or drums but my parents are very classical..

This is a recorder..


It's like a flute for dummies lol
Very easy to learn.
Actually, when I was in grade 4, it was mandatory in our school to know an instrument so everyone in my grade had to but a recorder.
At the time, I hated it but now I'm really grateful. All schools should add this to their syllabus.

And this is our baby grand piano..


It's very pretty. I've been playing piano since I was 5 and it's the instrument I play the most.

And this little beauty is my favourite..


That's my violin. I've had it since I was 10 but only started using it like last year.
I know, I'm very lazy
It's just such a beautiful instrument but I'm not a very patient learner so being taught how to play it really didn;t appeal to me. i just liked staring at it.
Now I'm self-teaching. Will upload a video sometime

But mostly, I just enjoy singing. There's always some song playing in my head so I'm like a walking jukebox at home. It irritates my siblings to no end

For those who missed my first two video's..









Also, here's some hidden talent I've discovered on the site..



Jive is super talented, I can't even count how many times I've watched this video. It's amazing..



Exning's voice took me by surprise! Wow who knew right?!?!?!

Uhhhmm.. yeah I guess that's it for today.
Hope everyone has a radtastic week!!
I love you all


P.S

R.I.P Xylah

Hello hello everybunny!!

Firstly, did you see I'm FP today!?!?!?!
OMG I'm SO happy!!


I've been looking forward to this all week. Without getting too sappy about it, I'm so extremely honoured that the powers that govern decided to buy MY set out of the dozens of other equally gorgeous and equally deserving sets that are up in MR right now. (Which, btw, had more comments and love than mine).
And it's really funny because I remember I was looking through the sets in MR and I think mine was on like page 3 or something? Anyway I remember just kinda sighing. Then shrugging and making a decision to just consider planning a new one and then very next day my set got queued! It's like they knew!
As much as I did super appreciate having my first set bought after 3 days in MR. And that really was something. I appreciate having this set bought even more because I'm sure we all get the fear of being a one hit wonder.
So, yes, this is extremely humbling. And I just want you all to know how incredibly grateful I am that I've been given this opportunity and how thankful I am that you all continually support me.
Really, thank you.

Something less happy.. and I'll spoiler it cause I don't wanna ruin people’s moods.

I got more pics from that location shoot I did a few months ago. These are from my friend Jes, here's a link to her fanpage.


I really liked this one
It’s got a classic kinda feel to it.

I'm not sure why. I just think it looks very cassic.

And here's a few more:

Have you guys heard og this internet famous "Really photogenic guy"?
He's all over 9gag and I think the things people come up with are pretty hilarious!

Here's a few of my favourites..








Soooooo yesterday I watched Something Borrowed.
It was awful.
Well, for me anyway.
Apparently it's on the top 10 romance movies from last year.
Since when is screwing your best friend a romance story?
Please, this was a betrayal story. I had a look of utter revulsion the whole way through.
Euw.


I'm going through a bit of a gamer phase, so these sets really made my week..

Voodou



Bob and Kemper



That's all for now.
Thanks again for all the love on my set

Have a fab weekend everyone, I love you all

Hello hello everyone.
(warning, this is the longest blog I've ever written. I'm not kidding.)

First things first, I just wanted to congratulate SG for reaching 3 MILLION fans on their fanpage!! How AMAZING is that?!?!?!

Anyway, had a pretty good past week.

Few things.

I want to comment on language barriers on this site. Being an international site, we obviously have a mixpot of so many different cultures here but do you know what I love the most about the Suicide Girls who can't really speak English?
They try anyway.
I especially have SO much respect for the South American girls. Reading their blogs really warms your heart because you can see how hard they're trying to express themselves in a language that is pretty much just foreign to them. And, they don't have to. There's no stipulation on the site that says English is the only language we can use. They could all just write their blogs in Portugese (that IS the right language, yeah?:whatever and tell us all to go Google Translate it.
Instead you find the cutest grammar you'll ever see strung into a really hard thought-out sentence that ends up actually making sense.
Good on you girls.

English isn't my first language either, btw. Technically it's only my third or fourth language. But, yes, I do try.

Next, I'd like to take the opportunity to perve on some girls I've discovered this week.



Waikiki



Carrina


Gallows




Overload of hotness right there!!


Okay warning, the rest of this blog is about food. So, if you're hungry, I highly suggest you go make a sammich. Or send your girlfriend to go make you one.

Now this past week was my daddy's 55th birthday (Yaaaaay) and what my daddy appreciates more than anything else is a home-cooked meal. And I mean COMPLETELY home cooked. Which I LOVE making!
So I set out to make a 3 course meal from scratch. Behind the spoilers after each section you'll find the complete recipe.
Cause I'm sharing like that.

Now, first I juiced some fruits. Don't think you need a recipe for that.

Then, for starters I made butternut soup. (It's really not that impressive, it's pretty much the only soup I made). But I'm sure it was appreciated anyway.

For a main I made coconut milk stewed beef with creamy parboiled rice.
It SOUNDS complicated but it really wasn’t.

For dessert (the BIGGEST mission) I made lemon tart and vanilla ice-cream.
Now I know a lot of people find the idea of making their own ice-cream rather daunting but it’s really not that difficult a process. It just takes patience.

And now.. Teatime.
I made custard cupcakes.


Yummy!!

And you know what's really impressive about this menu?
I made everything simultaneously in a total cooking time of 3 hours. I started with the ice-cream. While that was freezing, I fried the meat. While that was frying I boiled the rice. While that was boiling, I mixed the tart. After that I got the soup started. Then I finished off the stew, and mixed the cupcakes. While the cupcakes were baking, I was finishing off the rice. Then I mixed the soup. And whil we ate, I popped the tart into the oven.
How's THAT for multi-tasking?!?!
I'm, gonna make such a badass mother/wife someday

If I haven’t bored you with my little "Journal of a Housewife", thanks for reading this blog.
It took me an hour to type so I hope you're all very grateful.
Also, if anyone tries one of my recipe's, please inbox me to let me know how you liked it!!

That's it for now, will be making another blog in a few days.
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your week, love you!!

Hello hello everyone!!

I hope you've got time if you're reading this cause it's gonna be a loooooong one

I don't talk about myself much. I dunno why I'd just much rather talk about the other girls on the site cause I admire them all so much and think they're all really amazing.

But today I'm going to break with tradition and talk about my life.
Prepare for information overload.

So this weekend was my parents 27th wedding Anniversary and I decided to bake them a cake.
I'm a little out of practise with baking so I cheated and used a cook book. Just my luck, I got 2 recipe's mixed up and had like half and half ingredients. Ended up just making up my own cake and keeping my fingers crossed that nobody would die of food poisoning.
This was the end result.



I call it Jeckyl's blackberry chocolate surprise (cause the end result really was a surprise, no kidding).

And it goes really well with whipped cream.


In case any of you are interested in making it...

For those of you who don't know, I'm studying to be a Social Worker.
The decision to study this wasn't really that hard for me. Making other people happy, is what makes me happy. I cannot, as a person, justfy being happy and content with my life, while other people around me are suffering. It just feels selfish to me. So it was very natural for me to dedicate my life to improving other people's.
Anyway.. Part of what my course entails is getting involved with the community so yesterday I got to visit some really awesome places of sanctuary. I'm going to tell you a bit about what I saw.

The first place I visited was a homeless shelter for unemployed men.
Let me tell you, the living conditions in this place would make you cringe. People speak of hitting rock bottom? I think I saw it first hand. These men are recovering drug addicts, alcoholics and ex-cons who're really just struggling to get back onto their feet and turn their lives around. That much is admirable.
Some of them have families that they've abandoned and children. I can't imagine what it must be like to not see your own child for years at a time. And the anxiety of whether or not they'll still recognise you. Or accept you.
But i got to spend some time with them and flex my community counselling knowledge and when I left I really felt like I was able to make at least a little bit of a difference. Not as much as i would've liked but I do plan on going back for at least a month and just helping get their spirits up.
What I really like is that they take initiative. They get scrap wood and make dog kennels to sell or chop up fire wood and such. They don't just sit around waiting for other people to come around and fix their lives for them. It makes it easier to WANT to help them. You know how the saying goes: "The good Lord helps those who help themselves."

Next I went to an AIDS orphanage. Not very easy for me. It tugs at my heart strings to see children suffering. But you know what was really amazing? These kids didn't look sick AT ALL. They were running around and playing just like any other healthy child would do. I also met their house mother who's sacrificed her whole life to foster these children. She even lives on site and is with them literally 24/7. What scared me was when I went into the kitchen and she opened the fridge and showed me just boxes upon boxes of medication that these poor children have to take daily. (And when I say "children" I mean some of them are younger than 3 years). The highest CD4 count in that orphanage is 42. 42!! For those who don't know, a healthy CD4 count should be over 1 000. So these kids are VERY sick. One foot in the grave, as she said. It makes me sad how unfair it is. They did nothing wrong, why should they suffer? What was cool is that the best way to "counsel" them was just to play with them and I had a lot of fun doing just that! I really love children. They're so innocent and happy you know? Especially thinking of all that they go through and still manage to keep those smiles on. Makes you feel guilty for getting sad over trivial matters in life.

Then I went to a nursing home. Aren't old people just so adorable? I don't think I'd ever put my parents in a nursing home though. I know people have their reasons and I repect anyone's decision to. Just for me personally after seeing how lonely they are, I wouldn't send them there.
Let me tell you a story. Last week, one of the elderly people died and somehow the family got to hear about it. Do you know what they did? They went to his apartment and looted all his tuff. I mean literally everything of value, was gone. TV, hi-fi, you name it. And the worst part? When social services got there, his body was still sitting in the very position it had been in when he died. They hadn't even bothered to report it. Is that really the thanks our parents get for raising us? I should hope not.
Stories like this are just one of the many reasons I got into what I'm doing. It disgusts me sometimes, how we treat our fellow man.

Last, i went to a baby shelter.
I can't even begin to describe to you how hard that was. I had a chat with the house mother about how she came to be in charge of the welfare of the currently 12 babies under her care. (The oldest being just over 1 year, the youngest being 5 weeks). Apparently, some women go to hospital, give birth, then literally get up and walk out. I'm not kidding. And to them, that's a GOOD way of getting the babies. Because then the baby goes straight into the system. 2 of her babies were found in black garbage bags. To me this is just inconcievable. Some were found in public toilets, you know in those sanitary bins?
I don't think being a Social Worker is going to be easy at all hahaha half the time i just feel like I wanna kill people. If you can even call someone who does something like that a 'person'.
But yeah, people make their own decisions. I'm just lucky enough to be in a position where I can help rectify the consequences faced by the innocent people affected by those decisions and give them a better chance in life.
I spent the longest time at the baby shelter, just playing with them. i think I'm going to adopt one someday. When I'm older and less crazy lol

It's just sad. Statistics say that there's over 1 million orphans in South Africa. And of that 1 million, only 0.7% will ever get adopted. The rest will stay in the system. And i'm sorry to say this but I have studied our welfare system and I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy.
And I can go on and on about everything that's wrong here or I can get up off my ass (excuse the language) and do something about it.
So that's what I'm going to do. They say you really can change the world of you care enough.

I'm going to end this blog with a quote that I always find very inspirational.

Service to others is the rent you pay for living on this planet.
- Marian Wright Edelman

Have a great week everyone

Hello SG land!

I'm bad with replying to blog comments but I want you to all know that I do read them and really appreciate all your feed back..

SO MUCH NEWS THIS WEEK!!

Firstly.. WE HAVE A NEW SOUTH AFRICAN SUICIDE GIRL!!



I'm SO exctited and happy that Orijin has gone pink!

My Suicide Girl of the week, obviously
Really such a great decision by the powers that govern. This girl's physical beauty is matched only by her sterling personality and I think she makes such a great addition to our little SA SG family!

Aaaaand.. Sets..

Lumo has a new set in MR called Room Service..
It went up just two days ago and is already almost at 1 000 comments! I've never seen a comment count climb so fast in my life!
So do yourselves a favour and check this set out. It's some seriously hot stuff!!



Also, Tarion and Lunar have made SA SG history by bringing you all SA's very first multi!
This set is the explosive conclusion to Tarion's "Message in a bottle" trilogy and was well worth the wait!
Eternal is sitting in member review waiting for you to show it some love!!



Okay now more about me...

Guess what happened to me today?
I was named FHM's model of the day!!
FHM for those who don't know is like the South African version of Playboy or Sports Illustrated.
I really just uploaded pics for the fun of it because we all know how alternative models aren't really noticed in commercial stuff but then today someone on FB inboxed me to congratulate me so I logged onto the site and there I was on the homepage!!
I'm SO excited about this, it's really made my month

Link to the site

Last weekend I was allowed the amazing opportunity of being taken to this abandoned house and being shot by 4 up and coming photographers.
For me this was a very unique experience and I think one of the many highlights of my career so far.

I'ts funny cause when I got there I just decided that I didn't feel like wearing piercings and the togs were really nice about it and just shrugged it off lol.
BTW it's hard for me to look alternative without piercings and i think I kinda look like a Barbie doll

Anyway, here's 2 little sneak peaks from the pics I've gotten so far..





And this is the last time I'm gonna talk about my set cause I bet it's boring you guys now..

I'm tryna think if I've left anything out now... hmmm...

OH!

I made a video of me singing and playing piano..
It's very ipromptu so excuse the bad quality

Link

Okay that's it then. Have lovely weekend everyone!
I love you all!!

Decided I wanted to blog about this.

Dear Hopefuls,

Please don't ever give up hope. Every girl on this site was a Hopeful at some stage. Yes yes even Radeo and AnnaLee.
If you need inspiration, just check FP today at Spliff.

She is my Suicide Girl of the week.




I mean yes I figured I was pretty expressive about how grateful I was to go pink but this girl just overflows with humility.
This is what makes us Suicide Girls I think.
Knowing that none of us DESERVE to be here. None of us. Nobody owes you anything.
The fact that The Powers That Govern chose you over thousands of other girls is nothing to brag about. Instead, this should make us all eternally grateful.

Humility is what happens when someone gives you something beyond your wildest dreams and asks for nothing in return.

On the flip side, I really don't think it's okay to bitch (excuse my language) and moan about sets not being bought.
I'm pretty sure Spliff loved her first set to bits but I never saw her whining ONCE about how she deserved to go pink above all the other girls who went pink after her.
Instead i saw her congratulate and be GENUINELY be happy for them.

This is just one example of the many girls who we could all learn something from.

I also don't think it's okay to tell girls who go "instapink" that they don't deserve it or that they haven't 'paid their dues'. We're sisters. Our job is to build each other up, not tear each other down.
That's what haters are for.

By the way Splifff, I can't congratulate you enough, I already had a spot on my favourites reserved for you

Okay I'm gonna end with a copy paste of a comment I left on someone else's blog because I really don't like repeating myself.

"You know what I've learnt about SG? If you make a good set, they will buy it.

You don't have to be pretty, you don't have to have the best photographer, you don't have to have a gazzilion friends.
Just have faith in the system.

It doesn't matter who you are, I've seen the most popular girls with sets that've been in Member Review for years now.
And you know what they did?
They didn't sit around bitching about the unfairness of it all. They didn't call it quits and disappear.
They remained as happy and strong as ever. They carried on shooting sets.

And they left those sets up there, not take them down after 3 months in a hissy fit.

Girls have gone pink with sets that have been in MR for over a year. Girls have gone pink with their fourth, fifth, even sixth sets.
It's all about the grace and the attitutde.

It doesn't matter who you are, where you're from, what you look like or who you know.
If you make a good set, they will buy it. Period.


It's not about the money. It's not about going pink.
It's about being given the opportunity to become a part of this great community.
And, if you ask me, that's priceless."


I love you all, have a great week

Happy St. Paddy's Day everyone

Decision decisions..

Okay so I guess that's it for now.
You are all amazing and I hope everyone has a really fabulous weekend.
Love you guys

Hi hello...

I would just like to share with you guys what I witnessed today.

I'm sure you've all heard about crime in S.A. And, if you've ever spoken to me in chat, you've heard me rant about how bad it is.
Well, today I had the amazing opportunity(note the heavy sarcasm) to witness a smash and grab in town.

Firstly, I hate going to town. CBD is like THE dodgiest and most unsafe place you can go. Even in broad daylight. But I had to buy my textbooks there cause it's the only place that still had stock.

For those of you who don't know what a smash and grab is, let me explain:
Usually it's 2 guys. They normally target a car in the middle. This means there's a car in front of you and a car behind you so you can't get away. Either in heavy traffic or at a red robot.
Also, they like targetting white people. This is not racist, it's just true. Because black people are violent man.
I remember when I was 14 a big homeless guy tried to mug me and run. I turned around, trippped him, then kicked the shit out of him until all the other homeless people started laughing at him.

Anyway, back to the story.
One guy wearing a long sleeved shirt will have a crow bar up his sleeve. He'll use it to smash your window, grab your valuables, and throw them to the other guy across the road. Then that guy will run.
In theory, this is how it's done.

Today, some poor innocent white man was sitting in his car at a red light. He had carelessly left his window rolled down. (You DON'T open your windows in town. Ever)
Then 2 black guys approached.
I suppose for them this was just routine. What they weren't prepared for (neither was anyone who was watching) was the guy's response.
This guy threw his car door open, chased the guy down and literally tackled him to the ground before procceding to beat the shit outta him and demanding his car keys.

Now a little crowd formed and then everyone started beating and kicking this guy.
Then the victim dragged his attacker to his car and beat him so hard he produced his car keys AND his phone AND his wallet.
By this time, the police had been alerted and when they arrived THEY beat him too.

Now THAT'S what I call justice!!!




I kept his face out to protect his privacy. But this is him standing in front of his car over the guy who tried to mug him. I won't post a pic of that other guy cause he was such a bloody mess.


NOTE: I don't believe in rehabilitation of criminals. Maybe in other coutries where people steal to support drug problems or feed their families. But these guys steal because they're too lazy to get up off their asses and go find work. Yes, we have an unemployment problem but the single mother selling tomatoes on the side of the road? At least she's making an effort. I have no sympathy for these people.
And yes, I spit on him before I left.
