I went to the gallery today for the first time since the opening. My best friend Noxolo Mafu is in town , and so she asked that I go with her to go view the collection. The two week break from the gallery and all the exhibition admin was much needed. It was great visiting the place again.

Today I had the craziest day. At 11:30 , after lectures , I met up with the Glamour team at the Buchanan Studios in Buchanan Square in Woodstock for the 'Signature Style' shoot. The shoot is for the December issue.  I went in with my Mom and little Sister , Solitha. As I walked in , I was immediately approached by Melissa Twigg , the features writer who was so welcoming. She introduced me to the team . I went into the make-up room where I met Louise Bingham , the make-up artist who is talented , friendly and the woman who introduced me to the concealer of my dreams. She refused to apply foundation because she happened to think I didnt need it. However , she gave me great tips on the best foundation , concealer and powder to use for my skin. The shoot was fun , short and sweet. Photographer Lar Leslie was patient and knew what she wanted , which made my job easier. I really struggle being the one photographed , as I have gotten used to being behind the camera.  I had fun.

We have less than a month until the closing of the exhibition and so we dont have much time , but I know we will be able to kill it. Keep you updated guys.

I have just remembered that 'The Moments' amidst the chaos is part of Creative Week Cape Town 2011. My exhibition has been selected as an event for the 14th September. I am extremely exhausted , and somewhat lazy to organize something for the 14th. I have decided on not hosting anything on the 14th and completely allowing myself to recover from this semester. I wish I could be at the gallery on that day , but unfortunately I have a lot on my plate.

I went to Doepelganger's Fatback soul sessions on Thursday ( which was last night) in Long Street. The ladies played a sick set as usual , and I got to thank them personally for the amazing mix-tape they provided for the opening of my exhibition. It was a great seeing people admire the collection of work and most importantly sway their bodies to the music at the opening.  Last night was great , as I got to speak to some of the girls about an exciting project that we would like to collaborate and bring to life. I am looking forward to meeting up with them and make it happen.

I received a call from Helen Herimbi from the Cape Argus. She asked me a range of questions about the exhibition, but wanted to know how I felt after everything was done. She was extremely friendly and immediately made me feel comfortable, as a result I began to tell her information that she didn't need to know. That just proves that she is great at her job.  I thoroughly enjoyed speaking to her, and the article which was in the Cape Argus 8 September 2011 issue. Thank you Helen and thank you Martin Venter for the image!
