Hello dolls. Did this week fly by or is it just me?
Your favourite gossip girl is feeling the sting of the season but the one good thing to celebrate is that we’re getting some rain, so I’m not too mad.
Anywho, down to the business of the day ... Your girl chilled with Karyn White over dinner at the Boardwalk last Thursday night, ahead of her performance on Saturday night. Now, quickly for the young ‘uns who don’t know who I’m talking about, Karyn is that lady who blessed us with the hit jams I’d Rather Be Alone and Superwoman.
For those of you who are my age (nudge, wink), I’m sure you know what I mean when I say “I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down and think that everything's okay”.The Boardwalk hosted the exclusive meet-and-greet dinner at Kiplings Brasserie and your girl managed to get in there, as always.While Karyn’s name has been on our lips for as long as I can remember, seeing her in person had me convinced that she had won the genetic lottery.
Her kindness and openness make her even more likeable.The singer was gracious enough to take a selfie with Algoa FM’s Lee Duru and post it on her (Karyn’s) Instagram page. Lol, that left the rest of us wishing we’d had the guts to ask first.Credit where it’s due? The Boardwalk hotel has some of the most helpful and nicest reception staff I’ve met.
Oh, and the Kiplings Brasseries’ butternut lasagne? To die for!
One of Skinnerbek’s geeky minions was at the Con.ect Geek Convention held at the Nelson Mandela University Indoor Sports Centre over the weekend. While Skinners does not envy her minion, I’m convinced it was a jol for people who are into that, and, judging from first place winner Jessica Slabbert’s Harley Quinn outfit, the standards were sky high. Can’t say I’m surprised she walked away with the prize as she has always had a deliciously geeky sense of style. Go Jes!!
Ciao for now!
