Nice girls with a touch of naughty – that’s what a Pure Romance girls night is all about.
“A what party?!” My friend asked, barely disguising the horror in her voice. This was after I invited her to what I referred to as a dildo party. Needless to say her answer was a resolute “No thanks!” & I wasn’t really surprised. You see my friend, like many ‘nice’ & ‘proper’ young-ish women out there – myself included, is a tad prudish. Had I invited her to a day of pure romance, & girl chat on the other hand, she might have actually considered it. Incidentally, Pure Romance is the name of this brand of ladies parties which my mischievous friend hosts, and it lives up to its name. With a 30 year history of classy bath, beauty & bedroom accessories, Pure Romance was designed to bring out the inner naughty in every woman. The parties , more like intimate gatherings are held in the comfort of your home with your closest friends. The hostess – my friend whom I’ll refer to as P – you choose what it stands for, will introduce you to the various deliciously scented lotions & luuurve potions. Careful where you go afterwards because they’re said to contain pheromones, which give you irresistible come-hither powers. With product names that range from the innocent Kiss & Tell, to the more daring Tickle & whip & Up all night, there’s bound to be something for everyone. If you’re still too shy to place an order for the more ‘risqué’ accessories, you can always contact P later on & she will handle your requests with the utmost discretion. “Like everything worth having, there has to be investment made” says P. “You want a thriving business, you put in the hard work; you want a hot body you work out; you want a great sex life, you kindle the romance” Whether you’re organising a friend’s bachelorette, or hosting a basic girls night in do give my girl a call. Not only will you have the time of your life but you’ll give your girlfriends, their boyfriends/ husbands /partners an experience they’ll never forget you for. For bookings visit Pure Romance (so much for the mystery around her name) 🙂 Or give her a call on 083 923...

Dumile goes Back To The City.
#BTTC or in its full name, Back To The City is an event that gathers a variety of the “dopest” Hip Hop acts around. Represent teamed up with Dumile Mposula who tip-toed his way around the festival to bring us in his own words, the low down of the #BTTC event. The Back To The City Hip Hop Festival has grown into a hugely successful event since its inception in 2006. Attendance figures have increased from the initial 3500 to 15 000 last year. The festival features artists representing the pinnacle of artistic expression from South Africa and has grown into the largest public display of both commercial and underground hip hop in South Africa. The 2013 event was no disappointment. From graffiti artist spray-painting Newtown walls to B-boys doing their thing on the Redbull stage, all of Hip Hop culture was on display, it was a true haven for Hip Hop lovers all over the country. The artist lineup featured Maxhoseni, Tumi from Tumi and the Volume, Siya Shezi, Zuluboy, H20, iFani and Proverb to name a few. The surprise act from the United States, EMC2 also had fans going crazy. All in all, this year’s Back To The City festival was amazing and I’m sure 2014 will only be better....
