Vote for Bevan’s ROBBIE WILLIAMS video

Many of you will remember him from the Toastie breakfast show on tv, others of you may recognise him from his hairstyle… But he’s our Bevan i’nit and he’s entered Robbie Williams music video competition! We need you to vote for his video (if you like it of course) so he can win some pounds and ‘ave it large. Click here for the site. … Here’s the deal: Robbie Williams is collaborating with seven different filmmakers to create seven original short films using the tracks from his new album Rudebox. Now he is inviting all the independent filmmakers out there to provide the eighth for his track The 80’s. The winner, chosen by Robbie Williams, Lord Puttnam, Jonathan Ross, Jules Oldroyd (Head of T4) and a prominent film commissioner, will win a ý7,500 prize. There is a further prize of ý7,500 for the winning film as voted by the public. And here’s how to do it easily from Bevs people at Comedy Underground: Co-founder of the Underground, ace director & generally cool oke, Bevan Cullinan, has, with his producer Gary, shot and entered a Robbie Williams music video competition and needs your help to vote them to the top so that they can become mildly famous overseas and win the prize money to pay for the film! The music video is very funny and features Bevan, James Cairns and Chris Forrest in a film called “LIKE A HOOLIGAN”. You’ll recognise them in the thumbnail JPEG (standing in 80’s Leotards, looking like they were dressed by the Salvation Army dance gear surplus store). What we need you to do is to go to www.robbiewilliams.com/rudeboxshorts and register on the site. DON’T BE SCARED. These are nice people who don’t spam. If you are uncomfortable with providing your telephone number, put a fake one in (they’re just needing it in case you win so that they can call you, but you’re not entering a film, so it doesn’t matter). They just need you to register so that they can keep a check on allowing only one vote per register. What is very important is to keep checking for a return mail with a link that you will need to click on to verify your vote, it is to stop scam voting on dormant accounts (hope this makes sense). The votes count as ratings. Vote 1 for crap and 5 for eternal kifness (the judging is not based on the amount of votes). We’re hoping to get votes between 3 and 5, but if you feel it’s worth 5, we’d love you long time (insert nervous laugh here)! Unfortunately, if you are on...

Vanessa is our first Survivor – You go girl!

Exciting, nail-biting, neck on neck, riveting – what more can we say? Big ups to Mnet for a job well done – we can’t wait for the next installment. To Vanessa Marawa, the deep-voiced one, well done babe, it’s a win for women and black women both in SA and the world over – nice one! Jacinda – jammer meisie- jy was baie slim en het goed gespeel maar jy kon meer vriende gemaak het. And as for th… at make-up – you look much better tanned and fresh. We’re delighted with the results and are so glad we hung in for the action – Mzi bro, you know we love you – but that was a weird last grasp at straws bru and what we believe sealed your fate. You will surely have a colourful life post this experience and we wish all the contestants the best. Thanks for the entertainment. ================================ What an awesome twist in the penultimate episode of Survivor finally giving the viewers some nail-biting moments – Gareth is out and two of our favourites Vanessa and Mzi are back in… we love it. Come on Representers, place your bets. Who is it going to be? Here’s our bet: In an ideal world our favourite sexy fisher man would get the bucks: 1. Mzi 2. Jacinda 3. Zayn 4. Vanessa But we also have a funny feeling there may be a female winner – so we’re also watching Jacinda and Vanessa closely. So next week is the BIG ONE – we wish all the contestants good luck and we count down the days till SUNDAY when all will be revealed. Two of our biggest supporters L-Boogie and Noxyrsox (Sharpile girls!) give us their take on this weeks episode and for anyone that missed it, see the press release from Mnet below. L-Boogie How delicious was the penultimate episode of Survivor? Not only are Mzi and Vanessa back in the game, they are now also calling all the shots at Burba. The show started with Lezel making her way to Dead Man’s Island to join Mzi, Vanessa and BBrigitte. Only they were not in the mood to play best chums with her; and gave her one of the coldest receptions ever given to anyone on a reality show. Yummy. Better still and proving that what goes around comes around; Lezel blew her chances of returning to Burba when she was the first person to fall in a challenger that involved standing narrow poles. Mzi and Vanessa stood the test; and shocked the hell out of Zayn, Gareth and Jacinda when they re-joined them for immunity challenged....

Lavacious South African Women on the net

Represent is just one website put together by mothership SoulProviders. Check out the latest online campaign from SoulProviders for Brutal Fruit Lavacious Lemon. It’s a promotion showcasing pictures of all different kinds of SA women enjoying the latest Lavacious Lemon flavour. We thought our readers may enjoy the concept. Re… gister and vote for your most Lavacious Ladies… there are shopping vouchers to be won! Represent! Here’s more from the team: Following on from the success of the Brutal Fruit Fantasy campaign which had over 40 000 unique visitors viewing 450 000 pages during the competition, VWV in partnership with SoulProviders have launched the “Lavacious is the new Fabulous” campaign. www.brutalfruitlavacious.co.za. SoulProviders Creative Director Sarah-Jane Boden says the concept was inspired by the Japanese “Fruits” magazine which showcases street fashion and style. “During the research phase for Fantasy we were struck by the lack of online visual presence of South African women, we decided to maximize on the sampling activities and change this by identifying and celebrating women that stood out from the crowd by putting them on the net.” Lavaciously styled Brutal Fruit “style police” hit outlets throughout the country and take photographs of all kinds of Lavacious women sampling the new flavour. The public are invited to vote for their most Lavacious women online, two of whom will win a trend-seeking trip to Tokyo, Japan. Lavacious represents exotic, gorgeous, glamorous, strikingly stunning, zesty and trendy and the judges will choose the two women who most represent the Brutal Fruit Lavacious brand. “We wanted to give meaning to the word Lavacious, making it the new Fabulous and at the same time celebrate the diversity, creativity and uniqueness of Brutal Fruit consumers. The beauty of this campaign is where Fantasy told us all about the consumers desires, Lavacious puts a face to the names. Now we know exactly who is drinking Brutal Fruit.” says Sarah-Jane. “Initially we were seeking out the most trendy consumers we could find to give Lavacious a stylish edge, however as the campaign has evolved it has become more of a portrait of everyday Lavacious South African women out on the town having fun. It is a more targeted campaign as the entrants have to be in the right place at the right time to be picked, as opposed to Fantasy where any South African adult woman could enter.” Visit www.brutalfruitlavacious.co.za before the 14 December and vote for your most Lavacious woman....

Mother City Queer Project strips down

We’ve heard all about the fabulara MCQP aka MotherCityQueerProject but never got to experience the hedonistic delights of this event that draws thousands of guests from all over the world… Cape Town’s must do event of the year – we wish all the holiday makers luck as this years event takes place at Ratanga Junction in peak holiday season the 1… 6 December ’06.: In a strategic coup, MCQP organisers are thrilled to announce they have secured the most popular MCQP venue ever – Ratanga Junction for this year’s party, COMIC STRIP! On the 16th December, thousands of locals, and international tourists, will dance the night away at the party of the year, in the spectacular theme park. Last year, the thousands of party people who attended the extraordinary event voted Ratanga Junction best venue ever for MCQP. Ratanga Junction, situated on the N1 near Canal Walk is a dream venue for a party like MCQP. Its proximity to town makes it accessible, and yet it has the capacity and space that many in town facilities cannot offer. Parking is plentiful; party revelers are safe and shielded from weather and wind which has plagued the event in years gone by; and the theme park has an atmosphere of magical creativity, which makes a gay theme party come alive. Parking is safe and abundant and surrounds the venue. All the facilities one needs are close at hand: from food to public phones, cash machines to conveniently situated ablutions, and there are facilities for disabled persons. The Mother City Queer Project is a costume party of epic proportions that attracts a wide variety of people from all walks of life and from every major continent around the world. Costume design starts months in advance with many people going to great lengths to design fantastic creations. The theme is just the starting point for some wild and wonderful costumes. The event itself is a dance party infused with live bands, interesting acts as well as a variety of top DJ’s playing 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and current musical beats across several dance floors on Ratanga’s island complex. Since its takeover last year, party organisers have invested time, money and energy into this colourful brand with the objective of turning it into a festival of celebration and excitement. For the first time in its 13-year history, MCQP presents the official after party, COMIC STRIPPED, that is scheduled to take place in the De Waterkant Village on 17th December. All the dýcor and entertainment elements of the main party will be incorporated into the after party as well as additional surprises that remain to be...
