[Jordan Scott] This year marks the 20th anniversary of the L'Oreal Brandstorm. Each year L'Oreal selects colleges and universities from around the world to compete in the L'Oreal Brandstorm, this year 47 groups competed within Cape Town and Joburg and finally, 9 were selected: 3 from AAA Cape Town (the college that I attend, I was in one of the groups), 3 from AAA Joburg and 3 from Lisof in Joburg. |
 [Jordan Scott] I have often planned that at the end of my studies I will leave my beloved country; however, the more I watch and listen to our local talent the later the date becomes for my departure. I am amazed that these boys, no, men, come from South Africa - from my very own home!

 [Jordan Scott] Once a year is definitely not enough! The first thing that needs to be said is a huge thank you to KFM and Santam for organising a day to be enjoyed by four-year-olds to 50-year-olds and everyone in-between. One may think that having some 13 500 people in one place would be chaotic, uncomfortable and simply irritating, but Kday was everything but that. Everything was laid out in the simplest of ways and the organisation was phenomenal.

 [Jordan Scott] Le Moulin Rouge - The Freedom of France was written and directed by Darryl Spijkers, choreographed by Sume Lotter and performed by a cast of 101 incredible individuals. The play is based on true events and is expressed through a beautiful expression of song and dance.

 [Jordan Scott] Studying at the AAA School of Advertising has given me the opportunity to go to the Design Indaba Expo for the last three years. Each year I am blown away by the creativity and innovation that moves through the veins of Cape Town, its surrounding areas and the rest of South Africa. What was most interesting about this year's event was that it had a much more "personal" feel to it.

 [Jordan Scott] Absolucy is performed by Lucy Tops, and Tops is definitely the appropriate surname. Lucy studied at the Waterfront Theatre School and not only is she an actress, but also a singer and recording artist (she has even sung in China at the Hilton hotel). She has performed in various productions, such as Glory Days, Dancing Queen, That 80s' Show and The Great Gatsby.

 [Jordan Scott] It is unfortunate that something I was so excited to see turned out to be, well, disappointing to be completely honest. The first thing that went wrong was the venue change; on the website and Computicket the venue was still D'Aria Wine Estate. However, when we arrived there we found out the venue had been changed to the Ostrich Ranch. (Oh, and now hosted by Good Hope FM?)

 [Jordan Scott] Lights, camera, leg warmers, headbands, lumo colours, sparkles and action. That 80's Show is an 80s' music tribute and I will admit that I was a little wary of going to see it, due to the fact that I was born in the 90s. However, thanks to the epic nature of the music of that era, I was bopping about in my seat from the minute the curtains rose.

 [Jordan Scott] I have always had an interest in photography, but have never been very good at it. I get the odd "lucky" picture, but I don't understand the ins and outs of it all. I was lucky enough to see masterpieces by photographers, who clearly know exactly what they are doing, at the Erdmann Gallery in Cape Town.

 [Jordan Scott] I have never been much of a "girly girl", yet last week I found myself in the throes of all things girly and, well, I loved it. First there was the Girls Only Amazing Space at the Aquarium, which was something that every woman ought to experience at least once. There were cocktails upon entering, snacks for everyone to enjoy and a DJ to get us all in the mood.
