I have no idea why I was nervous about teaching at a private, all boys school. Okay, well I do, but really, it was silly.
I was assigned to a Grade 1 class on my first day, after having spent ages meeting with the headmaster and head of the Foundation Phase department.
The boys in my class are lovely. The boys at the school are so well-behaved. It's a Christian school, and they have chapel/assembly every Friday. My first Friday there I just sat in complete awe as every single child filed into the hall in dead silence. This included the Grade 0s, who were having their first ever chapel! I have never before in my life witnessed such behaviour from primary school children!

Teaching at this school was awesome because I had a great supervising teacher, a great class, and all my crit lessons went very well. Also, teachers get free hot lunch if they're staying late. I feasted!

I really to miss driving to this school in the morning (the drive is so much more lovely than the awful ugly drive to varsity).
During my prac, one of the smallest, cutest boys in the class came up to me and told me he loves me because he loves the lessons I teach because they are fun.
I damn near cried right there. :')


I have finished my exams for this semester (I only had 3) and am now on a 5 week long holiday! Woohoo!

This week has been the first time in six weeks that I've not had at least one photoshoot.
Crazy times!

I haven't received the photos from a lot of the shoots yet, but I do have some I can share with you from some shots I did with the awesome Jes Hunter. I love her work so much, she truly is a fantastic photographer, she makes magic with that camera of hers!

The shoot I'm most excited about is the calender shoot I was a part of. This 2013 calender is to be sold to raise funds for Kitty and Puppy Haven. Each girl got to pose in faux fur bikini bottoms with either kitties or puppies. At once stage I had three tiny new little baby kittens in my arms. They scratched the hell out of me, but they were adorable!



I will let you know about where you can order the calender and all that once I've got the details

As promised, photos with Jes...

A lot of what I've been up to lately is partying in Newtown. Here are some photos from my adventures!


At a P.H.Fat party...



At the Golden Tiki tattoo parlour launch party...




At a free party...









At a 90s rave party...



And finally last night was Town Hall's 2nd birthday party...



...I don't know who this guy is...

As some of you know, last weekend my darling Sebastian kitty went missing. I was distraught for 2 whole days, worried sick about him because he is the biggest scaredy-cat I know, and he's not the smartest kitty who ever did live.
Thankfully he came home, my father found him at the foot of his bed in the morning, as if he'd never gone!
He did come back a skinnier version of my old Bassie, but I am happy to report that he is alive and well and sitting on my bed with me as I type this!

I shall now commence to show off my sweet babies, Bassie (the tabby cat) and his non-biological sister, Sunshine (my little tortoise-shell girl).

My beloved panda hat got stolen last night at a party. I gave it to my friend to wear, he had it on for 5 seconds before someone snatched it off his head and ran away.
I'm gonna miss it :'(
A moment of silence for my panda hat...



I did facepainting at a nursery school fun day recently, and painted my boyfriend as spiderman. We rode pieces of cradboard down a hill.



If you ever find yourself at McDonald's, unsure of whether to go for an Orea or Candy Twirl McFlurry, get them both. Best decision ever.



I went to this fancy old place a few weeks ago for some skin care talk thing, it was the most formal expensive-looking place I have ever found myself in. We got lost and arrived late to the talk, we literally just caught the end of it. On the way there I had lost my earring. I didn't want the hole to start shrinking so I stuck a pen in there and forgot about it. I ended up at this terribly formal place with a red pen in my ear. At least it matched my lipstick!

Yesterday I got a brand spankin' new tattoo, as part of the CHOC Tattoo-A-Thon, a fundraising event in support of the CHOC foundation for children with cancer.
I went with my friend Dom to Fallen Heroes, the tattoo parlour where Lunar works.



Dom got this super cool Mandala tattoo...



...and I got the Johannesburg skyline on my hip...



Two of my other friends got tattoos as part of the event too - one got a stylized picture of a swallow, and the other got the gangster version of Banksy's rat. Unfortunately I don't have photos at the moment.

Thanks to ApocalypseMM for mentioning this event in the SGZA group!

Have you guys seen the amazing sets that have been going up in the past month? I am so in love with so many of them!
Most importantly, did you notice how many stunning Talamia sets have gone up in Member Review?

In alphabetical order, I'd like to present to you...

Arroia, whose stunning set Overture was bought in just 2 days, if I'm not mistaken... and no wonder, just look at her!



Biship, who has returned in The City Sun Sets Over Me. Is she not exquisite? Those eyes...



Prozack, who's debut set Erubescent has already done so very well! How cute is this facial expression?



Vassilis! I'm sure we were all equally as excited to see a new set from this lady, and Meditation in Motion most certainly did not disappoint! What a beautiful smile...

First of all, if you like GIFs... Pleated Jeans is the site for you! They have a hilarious selection of GIFs that I found myself watching again and again!

Now, to end off the blog, some funny pictures!
