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...
Vote for LOYISO GOLA
We were just saying the other day that it’s time us young people got amongst and started doing things our way… looks like we have a leader already! Loyiso Gola, one of our favourite most outspoken comics is ready to lead the revolution… Disillusioned by the leaders of today? Tired of the succession battle? Unhappy about floor-crossing? Sounds like you need to follow the growing group of … supporters for the next “president elect” – Loyiso Gola. After hosting the “Let Durban Laugh Festival” which will be held at the Durban City Hall on the 8th and the 9th of December and is expecting about 4000 people over the 2 days, Loyiso Gola hits the road again with a much anticipated run of his one man show which will aptly carry the gripping title, “Loyiso Gola for President”. This show will run at the Market Theatre, Newtown from the 30th of January to the 4th of February 2007. Popular radio station YFM has come on board as the key media partner and will be giving the show a substantial amount of support during its run. This will be the first instalment of this show and be the first opportunity for Loyiso to perform this set to the public. However it will also be the last time Jozi sees him perform for a while as he leaves for Durban shortly thereafter to perform as the warm up act for internationally acclaimed comedy superstar Sugar Sammy for the entire month of February at the Suncoast Casino resort. (Sugar Sammy hails from Canada and his meteoric rise to fame culminated in him touring North America last year with Dave Chapelle. It is testament to the profile that Loyiso Gola now enjoys on the local comedy circuit that he was selected by the organisers of the event to be part of this show) Loyiso Gola has been described in comedy circles and numerous articles as “the next big thing in South African comedy” with some going as far as saying that he is the future of comedy in this country. His unique sense of humour and his affinity towards openly frank and observational commentary has carved Loyiso into a comedy genius and has elevated his status in the realms of local comedy. In taking his one man show to the people, Loyiso follows the path of many legendary comedians before him in packaging a one man show with its own distinct style and subject matter. Many of these, namely Richard Pryor’s I’m Crazy; Eddie Murphy’s Raw; Chris Rock’s Never Scared; Jerry Seinfeld’s I’m Saying This For The Last Time and Dave Chapelle’s Killing...

The grand prize includes all flights, and six night’s accommodation at the Turtle Cove Surf and Yoga Lounge in Tofu, Mozambique. What’s more, surf lessons will be provided daily by a trained instructor from Surfing Safari, a surf travel company.

The sixteen-day feast of surf culture, including a surfboard art exhibition and charity auction, runs in Cape Town before the roadshow heads up the southern Cape coast at the peak of the summer holidays between 17 and 23 December. Helping to make it an “Endless Summer” will be the cult classic of that name, a film by Bruce Brown that immortalised the Cape St Francis break now called ‘Bruce’s Beauties’. A strong South African theme this year is core to the lineup of films this year. Shaun Tomson’s “Pure Line”, a unique history of Jeffrey’s Bay, will be shown in Cape Town for the first time. Other films are the pumped up “Drive Thru South Africa” featuring Martin Potter; “Horrorscopes: Cape of Storms” when a group of famous surfers try to score huge surf at a giant reef off...
