K’s choice
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Thursday's Theme Song on January 26, 2012
I discovered K’s choice on MTV in 1998 and fell in love with them via this song:
Waking up at 4:30 this morning has left me feeling a little dreamy.
This last weekend still has me confused.
Virgin state of mind?
Can I burn the mazes I grow?

Noeleen’s first CT seminar for 2012
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2012 events, Beauty, Tips and Tricks on January 24, 2012
Thos of you who follow me on social media will have heard me talking about Noeleen, the amazing feline model of firm female form who has been teaching me about nutrition, self control and who has been toning my body into something I’d be proud to run around in a bikini in (as opposed to positioning myself in flattering poses for photographs.)
Noeleen has inspired me to change my whole attitude to food and nutrition, and she is without a doubt the best thing I found on my adventures in 2011.
This February she is hosting a talk about nutrition… if you want a better body or more energy or to look half as fabulous as she does at 50 I suggest you go.
Noeleen trains men and women of all shapes and sizes, she charges monthly and no gym membership is required to train with her.
Jónsi – Go Do
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Thursday's Theme Song on January 19, 2012
When I heard about Jónsi performing solo instead of with Sigur Rós I was concerned and apprehensive – much like I was when I heard Imogen Heap was performing solo instead of fronting Frou Frou as I was accustomed.
Jónsi proved to be a pleasent surprise, and has given us this lovely little upbeat song to start our day with and wake up dancing, a beautiful contrast to the slow and sleepy effects Sigur Rós have often had on me.
Another fun musical composition from Iceland. I’d love to know what they put in the water.

Enjoy, share and smile. xx Samcat

In early 2011 Full Circle Model and Celebrity management put me on their books and made me a basic portfolio out of images I had collected from artistic projects with photographers over the years.
Beautiful as underwater and artistically driven images are, and as much as lingerie shows off the female form, my agency felt clients would feel more comfortable with the sexy and creative being diluted a little with some “digestible” and “normal” lifestyle images.
“Girl in jeans in street, girl hailing cab, lady being domestic with cookies or something” were the words my booker left me with to guide the direction of the test shoots I was likely to encounter whilst abroad.
These shots Rick took of me in the street, with unbrushed hair, minimal makeup and the very simple wardrobe of jeans and a vest turned out exceptionally well and my agency love them. *insert… [ Read more ]
Drive My Car… and baby I love you
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2011 Events, Thursday's Theme Song on December 15, 2011
Inspired by the amusing comments on Bangers and Nash’s post, today’s Thursday’s themesong is one of my old favorites and relates to these comments in ways I dare be more graceful than to mention so publically.
Enjoy… I always do… and remember – haters will hate and the loathsome will loathe … and nothing will make you feel better than loving them right back.
Nom Nom November
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2011 Events on December 15, 2011
I feel like I inhaled November, like it played a trick on me, tapping me on the shoulder only to run away when I turned around.
November took me from England to Cape Town, reunited me with old friends, showed me a taller version of my baby sister, marked the date two of my favourite people got married and challenged me in a myriad of ways – showing me vulnerabilities I had almost convinced myself I no longer posessed.
I meant to blog… I had so much to say… but when one is still in the midst of unpacking, living out of bags and wandering from open window to open window a la stray cat it can be difficult to find the time to venture out in search of the internet.
You heard me correctly. Aside from the 3G… [ Read more ]
Caravan Palace
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Thursday's Theme Song on November 3, 2011
I mentioned Caravan Palace in a past Weekend in Pictures post – but since then the friends I speak to about the band hold the same vacant stares and I think perhaps it was lost on many of you.
Caravan Palace are basically “electro swing” – think cute vintage dresses, swing and jiving dance moves…. just watch the video – they have a dancing robot – what more could you really want?
If you enjoyed that you can listen to a whole playlist of their happy upbeat awesome music here:
Dr Kaye recommends it as fabulous music to dance to whilst making breakfast/hunting for keys.
Weekend in Pictures – not words
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Weekend in Pictures on November 3, 2011
Less words, more images.
This weekend I worked – we were shooting a short film to be submitted to Cannes for their 2012 selection.
Thursday: [the weekend started on Thursday]
Friday I took the train up North for the short film.
Friday evening, Saturday, Sunday and Monday were one big blur of movie mania:
Seriously though – I love acting for film – I hope I get the opportunity to do it again soon.
A week and I’m on a jet plane
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2011 Events, London on October 28, 2011
It’s FRIDAY which marks 1 week until I fly to Cape Town, and the start of my last weekend in the UK until I come back in 2012.
My schedule goes a little something like this: Travel for the short film – Friday – Tuesday (28th-1st November) act in said short film with manically long hours to finish on schedule. 2nd November – travel back to Woking to collect Summer S.A. suitcase and put wintery clothes worn on set but off screen into storage. Travel into London that afternoon/evening. Have as much fun as possible evening of the 2nd and 3rd (Wednesday&Thursday) – stay tuned for a bumper “weekend in pictures” . Breakfast at either St Ali or The Botanist on the 4th November - last piccolo at Kaffeine – then to Heathrow to not miss my flight.
I arrive in Cape Town November 5th – I know I said I… [ Read more ]
She & Him
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Thursday's Theme Song on October 27, 2011
I’ve been meaning to do a post on She & Him for quite some time…
For those of you who don’t know the band (where have you been?) She & Him is an American indie pop duo consisting of Zooey Deschanel (vocals, piano, ukulele) and M. Ward (guitar, production).
Releasing their first album in 2008, the band write their own material, but also do wonderful covers. This is a video from “Fool’s Rush In” - selected for the Levi’s Session’s project where artists were asked to explore their influences.
If you would like to hear some of the music they’ve written themselves – this is the official music video for their single “In the Sun” from their album Volume two.
And then there’s their song “Brand New Shoes” which I love and which saved me on… [ Read more ]
