Its a brand new day.

Before I start off with my rants, I'd like to pay homeage to Lebo Mathosa. Infact the title of this post is a title of a popular song by the ever dramatic miss Mathosa. Lebo brought hype & funk in music, she practically reinvented pop in the 90s & carved a niche for herself. We will remember her for that golden voice of hers, fearless take on life and her fashion hits and sometimes misses.

On the flipside its a Tuesday, hip hip another day to go be somethung huge out there.

For some exams aere looming and for others er...life goes on  right. GQ held their annual awards I'll previw them on friday, we applaud our public protector for being fearless...now we're just holidng thumbs waiting for our president to do something.

And even though its Spring, it's kinda chilly lately, dress warmly. happy studying, great week to you all, check yal later.

Another lovely contributor we had was the ever so gorgeous Lady Cleo Thelma Maritz, she too has been taken by her new crush on AKA and her new work obligations. she too can be followed on twitter.
