Evocations and inspirations

How the time does fly; Monday to Thursday hot on the heels of each other, Friday to Sunday rushing by in a blur. Before we know it, it will be happening again and hump day and phuza Thursday shall be a thing of the past and we will be welcoming the weekend yet again! But, before I get too ahead of myself, welcome to another Tuesday and another weekly round-up of all things lifestyle. In this edition we bring you a mixed collection of stories and reviews from motoring excellence to life transformation at Afrika Burn, to popular Afrikaans theatre productions at Wordfees.

On the motoring front, Henrie Geyser reviews the wild-child that is the C-Class Coupé C63 AMG, while Riaan Kriel is lucky enough to take a spin in the Aston Martin Virage and the McLaren MP4-12C.

Kelly-Eve Koopman is moved by the delicacy and emotionally evocative work of artist Barbara Wildenboer in her exhibition, Canaries In The Coal Mine, while Keenan Oakes is equally moved by the energetic Peachy Keen at their EP launch this month. In other music news, Rocking the Daisies fans can diarise the weekend of the 4 - 7 October.

In theatre news, Eugene Yiga reviews the inspiring classic Kat and the Kings now playing at the Fugard Theatre until the 31 July 2012, while Duan Wanty has a few chuckles at Forbidden Broadway; the off-broadway musical satire.

Tickets up for grabs include; The Brandy Fusion Festival, La Bulesque, and The Partyharders event in Cape Town and Joburg. #Winning.

There's good news for those of you with an interest in the property & real estate field or the education & training field... today sees the launch of our first newsletters covering these sectors.

Till next week!

Motoring


Scorcher Merc with bad-boy tattoos
[Henrie Geyser: motoring editor] In this day and age of impersonal "likes" and distant Facebook "friends", light beer, political correctness and over-enthusiastic environment prophets it is a real treat to come across something real for a change - a car that loves to rip off its Ralph Lauren Blue Label suit and to slip on a pair of tatty jeans and T-shirt to party big time.

Barbara Wildenboer: Canaries In The Coal Mine
[Kelly-Eve Koopman] At first glance, the bustling, buzzing crowd outside the Erdmann Contemporary Gallery made it look like a Long Street club on a Friday night. But the ironic wearing of Doc Martens, the selection of anachronistic hats, the brocade waistcoats, and raised glasses of red wine soon identified the crowd as artists, art students and art fundis gathered for the grand opening night of Barbara Wildenboer's Canaries In The Coal Mine.

The Burn
[Sarale' Bock] To those who have been and experienced the life-changing transformation that occurs in this space, it is referred to as the "AB" or "The Burn".

[Daniel Dercksen] What would life be without great love stories? And what would romance be if not fully experienced on the big screen where it is magnificently magnified 10 times larger than life? In the tradition of the tearful The Notebook and the heartbreaking Letters To Juliet, comes The Vow, another memorable romance that will steal your heart and take you on a meaningful and rewarding emotional journey.

How sweet the sound of Kat and the Kings
