Darling in spring
Posted on 30. Sep, 2005 by Cassandra.
Cherryflava fought through the blue-rinse brigade to capture the moment in Darling (a small town about an hour north of Cape Town) during the much anticipated Darling Wild Flower show. This is the first in a series of two…in the next collection, we go on the hunt for the dodgy more dangerous side of the town.
It’s Kate…not Colin Moss
Posted on 29. Sep, 2005 by Cassandra.
People need to pay more attention to the You magazine headlines.
The other day….Cherryflava was enjoying a freshly brewed cup of instant coffee while making small talk during a function at a local radio station. Being surrounded by bad music…the conversation swiftly moved over to the present series of Idol.
To our amazement, someone in the group scowled…."I’m not watching Idols anymore, because I can’t get over the fact that Colin Moss is a cocaine addict".
After much gnashing of teeth and bloodletting….we managed to convince the chopper that it was in fact KATE Moss and not Colin that was recently photographed enjoying a line or twenty of Columbia’s finest.
We can understand the confusion…but, Kate definately has longer hair and we’re sure they’re not related. So everybody just leave Kate and Colin alone…..just like all of Kate’s sponsoring brands have done.
The Apprentice moves from Toyko to Cape Town
Posted on 29. Sep, 2005 by Cassandra.
After ‘entertaining’ South Africa for a couple of months , it really has to be said that The Apprentice left a bit of a foul taste in our mouths when it ended as a totally rigged competition to prove a point without a winner.
Ok…get over it already.
But, here’s the thing…four guys from our mutha city are putting together a project where they’ll to set up a sustainable internet-based business in just three days.
Crazy or genius…it’s a great idea. And who knows. Amazon.com was an idea Jeff Bizos had in a car travelling from San Fransisco to Seattle. Check out their blog here. It’s all going down in the first week of October at the River Club in Obs.
Get involved…they need your help if you’re / or can supply:
- A film maker/cameraman
- Some kick ass catering to ease the pain
- Visitors to shoot the breeze with during the three days
Show them some love.
Kiff new dictionary
Posted on 28. Sep, 2005 by Cassandra.
Check this sick new dictionary which we shkeem is going to get youth brand marketers excited as they dumbly stumble around the ever changing world of urban slang.
Urban Dictionary is a slang dictionary with your definitions.
We can’t find any South African slang there, but like all good open-source projects…you can add your own.
Sweet bru….once.
iPod clip
Posted on 28. Sep, 2005 by Cassandra.
This thing falls into that ‘why didn’t I think of that’ category which make any ‘would be’ entrepreneur cry into their frothy beer.
Now with everybody, including the Pope, walking around with a mass of portable electronic gadgets… and enough excess wire going around to hang yourself on a railing as you rush to beat the carguard…someone is selling a simple clip that ties the whole mess away and at the same time protects your little toy from those annoying bumps and scraps.
For whatever reason it’s called an ‘earbud clip’ – but actually serves no purpose for your ears. Cool idea though. [Via]
Winex 2005
Posted on 27. Sep, 2005 by Cassandra.
Last week, we took the opportunity to attend Winex 2005 at the CTICC.
With over a thousand wines to taste, it was obviously a very joyful free bar festival.
We managed to get a couple of snaps to take you there….if you missed it.
Make your own ‘met eish’
Posted on 26. Sep, 2005 by Cassandra.
If you came up with the idea that a South African weekend was about having a 1 litre Klippies a 2 litre Coke and a 3 litre Cortina…then maybe you could think up better TV ads than most of the rubbish being flighted at the moment.
If so….how’s this for a place to let your thoughts become the next Klipdrift ad.
Adcandy is website where the general public can share their brilliant advertising creative ideas and hopefully get so see their thoughts become reality.
In exchange for their advertising slogans, catch phrases or campaign
ideas, participants could win cash prizes from $50 to $500 and the
bragging rights of seeing their ideas used to sell anything from Coke
to Levi’s jeans. The prizes aren’t much right now, but Hoffman hopes to
increase the rewards as Adcandy takes off, maybe even to a more
standard percentage system.

The Manolo
Posted on 23. Sep, 2005 by Cassandra.
Recently, Cherryflava has been receiving an increasing number of complaints, that although the predominant colour scheme of this site is a light shade of red,…there is limited content which appeals to the female reader’s interests.
To remedy this, please divert your eyes to the Manolo’s Shoeblog.
As you might have guessed, it’s a blog about ladies shoes, but it’s also disturbingly entertaining stuff to read on a Friday afternoon.
The Manolo is the business.
