i still want it soo bad!

As a little girl, i think i was about 11, or 12 years old, fashion was my thing. i loved "skecthing" drawing fashion dresses and draw up my little models, in what i thought was the in thing. Sincemy my mom magazines, i would always rush thriugh the pages until i get to the fashion side of it. True Love magazine was i=the one magazine i loved, the fashion side of it ofcourse, the cover page would have some celebrity in some hot couture. I would look at the pictures and want to draw iot and thenmake it my own, that just inspired me. In grade 6, my mom suggested that she buy me a sewing machine , but i refused cause for some raeson, i was too chicken, i loved it , but i coudnt far with it. i think from then on, thats when i lost the edge of wanting this thing so bad. i continued "sketching" my hot coutures, until one ady i ahd to take it as career. T hen some old women, who studied fashin design back in her times, discouraged me. her reasons where that, fashion design does not have a market in South Africa and that i would study and end up jobless. for some stuoid reason i too her theory and scratched fashion design on my list of courses i wanted.

It has been, 3 years and im now im in my second year in Journalism, we have started with our practical work, and yes im loving it more than anything. Ive done radio, and Online, my did i fall inlove with fashion all over again. I did articles on  local fashion designers in soshanguve, i profiled a Guy from Senegal, damn, i wa suprised that a man from another country is doing fashion and loving it. That was not the only profile i did, Isaack Abbu, just made it al worth it. the guy designs the latest trends, for young people, hes also from another country, and yes its a man, lol  . . . . . ..

Lord knows i love fashion, ive recently come across, Vivien Westwood's designs, iesh this woman. She's old but she still good! See it for yourself

GREAT SHOES!


Many of you may wear Carvelas, but do you know the people behind the name. Carvela is thee shoe that mostly high school learners are annoying their parents about. Everyone wants a Carvela, i ask why, only a few tell me it’s because its class its make and well because it’s by Italians. That is not reason enough, i mean really now. Throughout my quest i have found that the main reason behind why so many young people are crazy over Carvelas, is that they are expensive, yes a thousand bucks or a thousand couple gets you a pair of the shoe that drives young South Africans mad. It is very essential that you know what you are wearing and what you are representing.



I was reading the paper, The Star and i made the discovery about who co-founded Spitz, and who’s behind the shoe Carvela. NOTE: this is for all the Carvela lovers.



Let me give you a brief background about where Carvela shoes come from. carvela shoes are sold only at Spitz stores. spitz was opened in the year 1968 by Anthony Spitz, and his cousin. The first Spitz store in Johannesburg's CBD, there are now more than 60 spits stores across the country. It is now owned by Avi, JSE-listed Company.



Spitz stores sells brands such as, Gucci, Alfred Dunhill, Lacoste,Cacherel,Estee Lauder,Bruno Magli, Ferragano,Sergio Rossi,Kurt Guiger, Billy of Switzerland and Carvela.



Carvella seems to hold a special place, as it is one of Spitz's most established brands, and much loved by customers. Mrco and Mino, the Italian father and son team are behind the shoe Carvela.



this what the original carvela shoe has chnaged into

this is the shoe that drives youngsters crazy.

With their teachers




As part of National science week, Medunsa (University of Limpopo) hosted a group of high school learners. They had career guidance in the school of Pathology & Pre-clinical Sciences.

Medunsa chose to get involved with National science week because they have a mobile science lab that goes around schools in Pretoria and as far as Limpopo and Mpumalanga giving career guidance to less fortunate communities. 

Also to educate them about the health and science faculty in Medunsa, since a lot of people think that Medunsa only offers courses in medicine only.

Marcus Motshwane Lecturer in statistics said emphasised the importance of the career guidance, when he said that it opens their minds and visions them about science when he said that the learner’s n Medunsa became the stakeholders of National science week 2007 to date.

 The organiser of the event Florence Seseng said that they promoting science week as an exposure of resources to rural areas.

The event included motivational talks and presentations and a prize giving ceremony, were learners were asked questions about what was presented to them about the different courses.
The prize giving ceremony awarded learners the opportunities to presents their schools. Mothina Esther, who won the first prize in the maths part, said that she was glad about that Medunsa offered them the opportunity to come and learn about science and she was happy to have won the prize. Eight schools were involved in the career guidance which started on August 1 2011, and will end on
