Street Kid goes International...

You're probably wondering how the Street Kid went international, right? I would too if someone else wrote that. Well, by now you should know how THIS Street Kid operates. I love my rhontshiz (sorry, but can't think of an appropriate English word for it) and if I can get Zara and Top Man items for next to nothing, why not go for them? I end up with one-of-a-kind coats, sweat tops and if you think they are rejects or even fake....YOU'RE SO WRONG!!! I am a bargain shopper and I'm not even ashamed of it. After all, I am a Street Kid.

Speaking of bargains, a friend of mine in Cape Town forwarded me an email about the International Fashion Sale that's happening at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand, Johannesburg from 26 - 28 July. If you didn't know, this is where one can get up to 70% off international brands such as roberto cavalli, TOM FORD and MARC JACOBS (to mention a few) - up to 70%!!! Isn't that a bargain?

As much as the tickets are selling for R60 at computicket (which is not a lot, really), another thing you should know is that this Street Kid loves freebies too. All one had to do to stand a chance to WIN tickets to this event was to spread the word. And that I did! What did I get? Check this out:

Cool, hey? This means that I get to take with me another street kid, a liker of things and all things beautiful to the opening night! WHOOP!!!

Looking forward to this event so much as it is my first one to attend. Oh, DONATIONS via e-wallet will be appreciated. Street Kid needs to look fabulous!

THANK YOU! :)

'til the next post.

Street Kid gets Jagermeister Whipped

So...this Street Kid has been awfully quiet for some time. This does't mean I wasn't up and about. In fact, last week Saturday I attended an exclusive dinner and a party at Buddha Ta in Fourways, Johannesburg. Brand Ambassadors (where I do my thing) got together with Jagermeister to host this exclusive dinner including about 20 key media people and some of South Africa's well known personalities like Shashi Naidoo, Eda Rose, Lerato Sengadi, Heat magazine's editor - Andre Neveling and the ever-so-lovely Jerri Mokgofe (to name a few).

If one wasn't enticed by the invite that did the rounds, then I'd think there's something wrong with them...

The invite

Just like with most dinners, it's pretty straight forward what the procedure is - starters, mains then dessert. This wasn't any different. Oh, I lie. The only difference was that there would be shots of Jagermeister in-between.

While we ate, Jerri did his thing and these are some of the shots he took:

Shashi Naidoo

Thulane Hadebe

Lerato Sengadi

Sunshine Shibambo

Eda Rose (right)

All I can say about the dinner is, "Great food, great conversations and LOADS OF LAUGHS!"

We then headed over to Buddah Ta, where a cosy lounge had been reserved for us. Below are some images that might be able to tell you how the rest of the evening went...

There! You can imagine how I must have felt the following day. It was such an amazing night out though to say the least.

This Street Kid better love and leave you for now. Hope all of you have a superb weekend. I will leave you with this to imagine where I will be Street Kidding this weekend:

Intro...Life of a Street Kid

What can I say.....I am a liker of things, love going out and partying, a qualified chemist who defied the whole "process and procedures" thing and became a PR what-what. So expect anything and everything on this blog, as long as it's beautiful.

Before I can go any further, let me start by showing you my life before this Xhosa/Zulu boy came to Jo'burg - AGAIN - so that you may have an idea what this will be about.

Hope you like...
