The Sports Illustrated New Model Search 2012
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2012 events, Reasons to vote for SLK in the SASI NMS. on February 29, 2012
Is happening right now.
Online voting continues until the end of April when the top 15 are announced.
One out of the 3 months of the competition has already flown by – and I decided to enter this week.
That’s a lot of voting to make up for!
One girl already has over half a million!
But despite this, I know I can make the top 15 with your help.
In fact, if each of my twitter followers voted for me twice a day I would stand a pretty good chance of placing in the top 15.
So I have added this little Sports Illustrated Tab – to show you how and where to vote – and I will try to bring you a new reason to vote for me each day.
Here’s today’s reason: I don’t look too bad… [ Read more ]
Lingerie in Lincoln
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Lady Kaye, Lingerie, London, Modeling, Reasons to vote for SLK in the SASI NMS., Test Shoots on February 29, 2012
After bumping into Rick Nunn randomly in King’s Cross (what are the chances with 3 billion people commuting in and out of zone 1 each day?) I traveled to Lincoln to shoot some lingerie with him in a boutique guest house. These are the photos.
Photographer: Rick Nunn
Model, Hair and Makeup: Samantha Laura Kaye
Lingerie: Aubade, Agent Provocateur
Shot on location in Lincoln and Tennyson Court boutique guest house.
Main makeup ingredients: MAC: skin – studio fix fluid, sculpt and shape powder, blushbaby blush. Eyes: smoulder, vanilla, lily white, cinderfella, carbon, prolonglash. Lipstick/balm = homemade by SLK.
Consider this today’s reason to give me a vote or three (one minute apart) in the SASI new model search. It would be an absolute dream come true to be featured in Sports Illustrated.
Destination unknown

This particular Thursday I am awake so very unnecessarily early not as a result of my bizarre body clock, but instead because I am flying to johannesburg to have my photo taken for FHM. I don’t know what sort of pictures they are taking; what the theme is or where exactly its all going down… but I’m excited

Why Tigers have Stripes and Leopards have Spots
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2012 events, Cats, Science on February 21, 2012
Alan Turing was a busy man; he cracked the Nazi Enigma code, helped to end the second world war and is widely heralded as the father of computer science – yet somewhere between that he found the time to apply his mathematical mind to the ponderings of why Tigers have stripes and why Leopards have spots – one of nature’s little quirks that have fuelled conversation and folklore alike.
Alan Turing’s theory was that repetitive patterns in biological systems, such as a tiger’s stripes or leopard’s spots, are created by two different morphogens working together – one being an “activator” and one being an “inhibitor.”
Turing suggested – and documented in his 1952 paper The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis - that one of these chamicals triggered cell activity whilst the other hindered it. The way that those morphogens interact, according to Turing, was responsible for creating the patterns and markings… [ Read more ]
#MCNAKED hits the shelves – Marie Claire’s Naked Issue is on sale!
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2012 events, Editorial, Lady Kaye on February 19, 2012
I’m meandering through the aisles of Pick and Pay in Constantia Village (somehow grocery shopping is slightly more tolerable at CV) when I see a silvery, bronzed, slightly red Marie Claire with Zef rapper Jack Parrow and his beyond beautiful model girlfriend Jenna Pieterson on the cover.
The Marie Claire Naked issue is on the shelves. Its Sunday. Its early. There’s a picture of me inside it without any clothes on.
I look around, unable to escape the feeling that I am doing something naughty, and then proceed to the nearest cashier.
I can’t bring myself to open it in the store. The average age of the sunday afternoon CV shopper seems unlikely to appreciate the inevitable flash of skin as I page through the 31 naked South Africans.
It takes me 8minutes (guesstimate) to find my car in the parking lot (40% full.)
Instead of looking for a silver… [ Read more ]

How rad?
The art geek in me has been completely inspired by these novel scratching posts and is dying to break out the corrigated cardboard, edible paints and lego men to build a catzilla scene for my own amusement.

The Black Keys have a new song:
Personally I still prefer (overplayed as it is) Psychotic Girl:
But maybe this one will grow on me.
New to The Black Keys? (WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?) – Check out “Rubber Factory” or “Attack and Release” – two great albums! You can read all about the band here: *click*
Sneak Video Peek at Marie Claire’s 2012 Naked Issue
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2012 events, Editorial, Lady Kaye, Modeling on February 15, 2012
This Monday (20th Feb) Marie Claire South Africa’s annual Naked Issue goes on sale.
This year 31 celebrities stripped it all off for the Burn Foundation Southern Africa. We felt what it was like to feel vulnerable and exposed for an afternoon – but for the thousands of people in our country who suffer from scars, disfiguration and social stigma as a result of being burnt; those feelings of vulnerability and self-consciousness are an every day reality they cannot “cover up.”
The Burn Foundation rehabilitates burn victims, helps to fund their hospital and surgery bills, and tries to educate people about preventing fires – if every home was equipped with a bucket of sand (many South Africans cannot afford proper housing let alone smoke alarms) a huge amount of fires could be controlled and extinguished before significant damage is caused.

The broke guide to Valentine’s Day
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2012 events, Inspiration on February 13, 2012
Awesome card (and more) available here -> *click*
Vanletines Day is… tomorrow – and for those of you who didn’t buy one of the awesome things featured in my 2012 Valentine’s Gift Guide I thought I would give you some alternative and DIY ideas.
- Indulge your inner chef. Show your man or your lady that your culinary skills extend beyond an egg on toast – or if you are truly useless in the kitchen you can get sushi or your favorite take-aways and have a candlelit picnic on a blanket in your lounge watching your favorite/romantic movies.
- Picnics deserve a second mention. Granted, the mountain might be a little crowded with enthusiastic moonlight picnickers on V-day, but if you can find a secluded spot your picnic is likely to be more romantic than an overpriced meal in a room full of couples trying to buy romance.
