Gigi: The Musical

So a while back I shared with you the awesome news that I’ve been cast as Liane D’Exelmans in Gigi.

It’s a divine part. I’m a scheming girlfriend that gets to speak French and eventually run off with a Ski instructor. Plus I heard the costume is gorgeous.

Gigi starts rehearsing in August and opens to you, our adored public in early December.

I’ll keep you posted on the goings on but until then, here are some of the Pre-Publicity Shots.

Enjoy ‘em ninjabeans ( yes this nickname has caught on lately)!

aKING: On Set : Against All Odds

It is so ridonkulously cool to be able to say that I am the girl in the new aKING video! :D

I got the chance to work with guys on their new video for Against All Odds. We shot on location at Chevelle and Mabu Vinyl. It was so awesome working with the band, Dean (Director) and Greg (Producer) from African Attachment.

I think laughed more than I did any work on set, as you can see from the outtakes:

This one was tricky, I wasn’t allowed to laugh. I managed to hold it together… almost until the very end:

Now we all love Free stuff! There are 5 outtakes in total. Check them out and stand a chance to win Von Zipper hampers and tickets to see the video launch at Chevelle, Cape Town.

Can’t wait to see the finished music video : It’s premiering on MK, 28th July ay 20h00.

Their music rocks: no really it does. I can listen to every song on their CD’s .The Dance, Know Your Bones and of course Against All Odds are my specials.

Keep rocking my ninjabeans :)

You remember Ally McBeal ? How her shrink was always telling her to find a theme song? Well I have one of those and it’s You get what you Give ~ New Radicals. It’s awesome, you may use it as well :D

What I don’t have is a theme photo. Well today I found it. Miss @faerie452 sent me an e-mail with National Geographics Best pics of the year.

Here it is:

How happy does he look ?

My new mascot. So I am sending you all your very own Happy Turtle! He is to be used to celebrate things, to share good news, to brighten a day , to put a smile on someones dial :D

Because everyone needs at least one happy turtle in their lives :D

Cape Town

Can I just say that I am really proud of how Cape Town shone during the World Cup.

The people, the places, the games, the crowds, the mad fans, the rife patriotism. Everything. We had some hiccups but we handled them and best of all we were the city that saw Uruguay depart ;)

I was given this little CT heart at the airport before I left on holiday. Departures was packed with tourists draped in all sorts of SA attire . Flags and wigs and arm sleeves and yellow tee shirts and of course Vuvuzelas!
I felt happy that so many pieces of our country were winging their way across the world.

You can get your own little heart at the Tourism store at the entrance to departures terminal. So if you’re flying anytime soon, you should get one :)

Cape Town, Proud, World Cup 2010

Wander With Us

Jul 7th

My little brother and I decided to go for a walk . We had no real route planned, we were just going to see where our walk took us. We packed a picnic, grabbed the camera and off we went into the sunshine. There were roses dotted all along our journey..

The old and new testament? Europe has a thing for churches we noticed. No really, they seem like big fans.

They also seem to have a thing for medieval architecture. In the middle of a park we found this daycare spot for kiddlywinks. Wonder if the architect had ever read Harry Potter?

We strolled up through the town and came across a summer flower market. Every morning the square is full of vendors convincing you to buy their brightly coloured wares. There’s also a vegetable market, but we missed that.

On every other street there is a beautiful building to admire. I feel like I am in the land of giant doll houses. I keep waiting for the large dog to come bounding round the corner.

We decided to see what was at the top of these stairs. Stairs we noticed, were also a popular German design feature. These ones seemed mysterious.

Well I didn’t see any talking Lions, so I didn’t think that they were the less publicized, ‘Green’ entrance to Narnia.  It was pretty though. It turned out that the stairs were mysterious… they kept multiplying. After a gazillion stairs we were only half way up!

After the epic stair climb, we found a shady patch under some trees, flopped down and had our picnic.

We then decided, in my infinite wisdom to follow these arrows into the forest and see where they took us. This worked rather well until we ran out of arrows and got a bit lost.

It was at this point that my intrepid explorer side-kick began to doubt my navigation skills. I said we should just continue on until we found another arrow. I was convinced it was the right way.  He was less so. We took a 20 Euro bet on it.

30 mins later, deeper into the forest and with my intrepid explorer side-kick confidently trying to increase the bet to 40 Euros, we came across a field of artistic, metal cows. They were pretty quirky and rather cute.

Thistles ??? Had we walked all the way to Scotland ? I admitted defeat ( aided greatly by the increase in spider webs we were experiencing) turned back and finally found the fork in the road that cost me 20 bucks.

We ended up back on the runners trail and found our way back to civilization. The trails are really great as every few hundred meters they have outdoor exercise equipment that you can combine with your run. This setup was to test your balancing skills….. I don’t think I’m cut out for a career as a tightrope walker ;)

Back on the path home and back past another church. Their churches really are beautiful. I have often peeked inside them and the stained glass is breathtaking. I am not religious but I can admire beauty. I love looking at an old building like this church and wondering what life was like when it was newly built, before the roads, traffic lights, zebra crossings and app notifications popped up around it.

Today made me realise that more people need to take time out.

Time to just stop a while.

There’s a reason wander looks like wonder. Sometimes we just need to let go in order to open our eyes.

War! What is it good for?

A troop of Israeli infantrymen took a break whilst patrolling the Palestinian city of Hebron and grooved to Tick Tick in full battle gear. The best part is that they filmed it.

The video caused outrage throughout the disciplined ranks and was initially banned from Youtube. The troops commanders have been informed (obviously the rhythm didn’t get them) and the soldiers are now facing punishment .

Honestly it’s War guys…. soldiers are only human.

And you know what a little Macarena goes a long way.

I think they rock!

soldiers, war

This Old Advert: IBM

Backstage a few weeks ago, I was trying to remember this advert. I kept telling the cast that there were elephants and they were friends and brothers and they were crossing the desert.

I got some pretty skeptical looks …. no one knew what I was rattling on about.

I finally found it !

It’s an old IBM advert. I think it’s the song that does it and I mean who doesn’t love ellies?

Advertising, memory, old advert
