Katastrophe in the Media


THIS SHOULD have been done a long time ago but I'm not here to go on about my procrastination skills (I have many). I have pics of my magazine articles, ta-da! I unfortunately do not have the pdfs so photos will have to do. Apologies in advance...

MY FIRST article, ever published, featured in one of my favourite mags and the place where I did a month internship, Glamour.

September 2011

I HAVE yet to frame it (yes that baby is going on my wall) as I have yet to find a decent enough frame to fit it all in (recommendations are welcome).


 YES IT was an article on oral hygiene but hey, it's MY article on oral hygiene. How many people can say that?!

NEXT CAME what would be my dream job... Traveling and writing. Ok more like reviewing and writing but I can't be picky. 

December 2011
CLEO MAGAZINE needed reviews of places that were "off the beaten path". So my boyf and I got to review a B&B in Winterton. You probably haven't heard of it cuz there's really not much to say about it. It's about an hour's drive from the Drakensberg and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's a one-road-town. 

That's me! Top left

HOPEFULLY THESE will not be the last articles of mine to feature in magazines.

VB Covershoot

GLAMOUR'S JULY issue has an amazing cover, Victoria Beckham with a PUPPY! It's fashionable and cute. Take a look:


I'VE ALWAYS loved VB, starting when she was my favourite Spice Girl, Posh Spice. She has impeccable taste in fashion and in men, her leading man being the best accessory she has ever worn. I think every female can agree with me on that!


GLAMOUR'S APPROACH was very different to how media usually portrays VB, usually depicting her as living up to her Posh Spice character. In the article, Victoria Drops the Posh Act (Well, pretty much), they tried to pin her as a typical, down to earth, housewife who actually eats. VB says that she always gets asked the ridiculous question of if she ever eats to which she replies, "I'd probably be dead by now if I didn't".


When she began her very short solo singing career, I thought that she was milking her fame from the Spice Girls for all it was worth. Then she released a clothing line and I started gaining respect for a woman that has tried her hand at many things and found success. But fashion is definately where she should be sticking.
