Izikhothane - The American Version

I was telling my boyfriend that on Sunday I experienced Izikhothane in action in Daveyton. I watched in sheer horror as a guy burnt a t-shirt, tore another one to shreds and threw an entire bucket of KFC on the ground. This got me thinking on as to whether the few South Africans who partake in this Izikhithane thing were the only ones pulling such mediocre stunts. It turns out they are not alone.


Francesca Eastwood (the daughter of Clint Eastwood), together with her equally crazy boyfriend recently torched and chain-sawed a red crocodile Hermes Birkin handbag, uploaded the pictures on a blog and called it art. For those who may not be on the know with Hermes Birkin bags, I did a post a while ago Its Not Just A Handbag, Its Hermes Dahling and they are bloody expensive! The particular bag that Francesca Eastwood and company torched is said to have been worth $100,000 and I get heart palpitations just thinking about the Rand equivalent of that. 





I am unable, shuttered and completely done with me!


The worst part is that people wait for YEARS just to purchase Hermes Birkin handbags *sigh*. The plight of Izikhothane is a serious one and it knows no color.

Exciting Competition - Watch Give Away!

I don't know if I still qualify to be called a blogger, I last blogged months ago, even Blogspot is looking a tad unfamiliar. I am back now, this time for good. I think in the past few months I have lived a whole lifetime in just 3 months, anyway that is a story for another platform. I hope all my loyal blog readers have been keeping well.


Moving swiftly along. A few months ago, I was given an absolutely stunning pink watch to give away here on my blog. I still have the watch, as I obviously have not blogged in over a century and I am finally giving it away today.


The watch is by Dlamini Resources, a very diverse South African company. They supply: Natural Mineral Water, Building Material, Pharmaceutical Products among the things in their core business and watches being part of the minor things they do - talk about good diversity. Ideally, they supply the watches in bulk but if you want a unit, that can be arranged. The scripting of the inside of the watch can be customized to whatever you fancy (specifically for bulk orders), this is perfect for anniversary celebrations, family celebrations, company promotions etc. 


The particular watch that I have up for grabs is pink but they come in black and white and it has the words "Dlamini" written inside. 


How gorgeous is this?



This watch goes for a mere R100 when you buy it but since I am giving this one away, it is for free..a bit of tautology aint never hurt nobody now has it? LOL!


Dlamini Resources does also stock the following watches (without the "Dlamini" scripting inside the watch):





**If you are interested in any of these watches, please place your order by emailing: dlamini@dlaminiresources.com

Back to the competition, I will give the watch to whoever tells me why they deserve this watch (remember its the pink one) by leaving a comment on this post. The most deserving person will get the watch, give-away closes on Monday.


May the most deserving person get it.
