Just a couple of quiet evening shots at the driving range. Keep your arms straight, eyes fixed ahead and control the action of your swing.
And the winners are….

Remember the competition that ‘The Ants Nest’, the Cape Town online design agency, and ‘Laugh out loud’, the rip-off t-shirt company that spends more time in court than Michael Jackson, ran to get new designs of a satirical nature?
Well…it’s over now…and here are the winners.
Grassy Park is in the heart of Cape Town’s gang invested ‘flats’…as dangerous as a prehistoric park? Might have worked better with Orania…all those trigger-happy people just waiting for an intruder.
Very deep message this one…not really very funny…
And finally…this one which Cherryflava doesn’t get. What’s the kid got to do with it? Could it be that all of the adults are having such a good time partying and this poor kid is all jealous that he’s not old enough to get tanked and fall down?
So there you have it. What do you think?
It’s not all black and white

Even with all of the advances of colour digital photography…it’s always nice to go back to the basics of different levels of grey.
New posting at Cherryflava pics entitled ‘It’s not all black and white’.
It’s not all black and white

Cherryflava used the classic black and white option on these pics. Sometime abstract just works better with an element of no colour.

A good friend of Cherryflava’s has started a photolog called Frozen Motion (top name for a photolog). This guy is a seriously talented photographer and is currently posting a variety of pics from travels around the world. Shooting out of Stellenbosch (about 30 minutes out of Cape Town)…check out his site.
Some links for a Friday

New York seems to be having a problem with used underwear. In some places people pay good money for that kind of merchandise.
Check out a Durban-based blog site. Cherryflava enjoyed reading the Afrikaans band names again.

Here’s a picture of a ghost in a Welsh castle. Photoshop expert or should we call the Ghostbusters?
Beer wars
Posted on 27. May, 2004 by Cassandra.
The world of beer empires is not a place for sissies. After months of enduring mocking ads from archrival Miller Brewing Co., Anheuser-Busch is fighting back.
‘Queen of Carbs’
The No. 1 brewer today ran an ad in USA Today showing a bottle of Miller Lite above the legend “The Queen of Carbs” and, in smaller type, “South African Owned.” The bottom portion of the ads shows a much larger photo of the top of a bottle of Budweiser and text that says, “American brewed since 1876. The King of Beers.”The bottom of the ad reads: “We’ll let Miller Lite spend all their time talking about carbs. At Budweiser, we’ll continue to spend all our efforts making great beer.”
Miller is owned by SABMiller, previously known as South African Breweries.
What’s with the “South African owned” thing. Isn’t that more of a reason to gulp down gallons of the stuff. Come on Anheuser-Busch…surely you can do better than that. Don’t you know that South Africa is more credible than America. Maybe they’re trying to do us a favour.
Drink beer…beer is yum.
While you’re drinking your ‘Proudly South African’ Miller beer…don’t forget to sing the Homer Simpson Beer song:
DOUGH… the stuff… that buys me beer…
RAY ….. the guy that sells me beer…
ME…… the guy…who drinks the beer,
FAR….. the distance to my beer.
SO…… I think I’ll have a beer.
LA…… La, la la la la beer
TEA….. no thanks, I’m drinking beer…
That will bring us back to…
D’OH!
Blog addiction
Posted on 27. May, 2004 by Cassandra.
‘Blogging is a pastime for many, even a livelihood for a few. For some, it becomes an obsession. Such bloggers often feel compelled to write several times daily and feel anxious if they don’t keep up. As they spend more time hunkered over their computers, they neglect family, friends and jobs. They blog at home, at work and on the road. They blog openly or sometimes, like Mr. Wiggins, quietly so as not to call attention to their habit.’
Cherryflava’s personal view on this story is that the trend of having a blog is much like the initial boom of the whole dotcom revolution. At the end of the day there is a lot of hype but only a few will carry on and build credible brands.
Wanna be like Lenny?
Posted on 26. May, 2004 by Cassandra.
Do you dream about living the rockstar lifestyle just like Patricia Lewis, Dozi or Lenny Kravitz?
Well dream no longer – help it at hand, you too can at least live like a rockstar at a fraction of the price.
His crib has been featured in numerous magazines and the reason is a Michael Czysz (a man with no vowels in his name), who is responsible for the transformation of Kravitz’s 1950′s Miami ranch house into a “sleek, throbbing James Bond-esque den of seduction”.
(that’s a babe-lair to you)
Unfortunately, there is some bad news – The designer, Michael Czysz prefers to have complete control over his work. He custom-makes 90 percent of the furniture and personally selects everything, which means you’re not going to be able to make a complete replica with off the shelf components. For instance, In the case of Kravtiz’s Miami residence, he went so far as to pick out a silver Ferrari and custom designed a silver “Flying V” Fender guitar to go with the house
The Cherryflava suggestion – well the reduced cost for the redecoration still comes in at $20k, so don’t get to excited and start planning parties for the Nude Girls just yet. Rather try and find out what Patricia’s house looks like and try copy her. Flying ducks and faux leather wallhangings are cheaper than silver Ferraris. [Via Gawker]
