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.
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 ]
Rammstein
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2011 Events, Competitions on February 11, 2011
Rammstein performed in Cape Town at Grand West Casino last night. I was there to do the bands makeup for an interview scheduled to take place before the show. Tragically the band “forgot” two of their members behind on their journey to the venue and the escalated time pressure meant that they were forced to cancel the interview and crush my dream of meeting and working with the band.
As a consolation prize, event organizer Gwen gave us golden circle tickets and gave me the opportunity to whip out my camera during one of their songs.
The concert itself was amazing and I am amazed at the energy the band gave the audience. Unfortunately there was no one selling ear plugs and my MacGuyver attempts at fashioning my contact into makeshift earplugs did not work so well:
As I was taking photographs from the pitt (the area in front… [ Read more ]

Belinda Spratt – Mobile Massage
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Lady Kaye on November 2, 2010
Belinda Spratt is Lady Kaye’s personal masseuse. Lady Kaye made this decision after her very first massage with Belinda Spratt.
My first massage with Belinda Spratt was earlier this year before my holiday in Mauritius. She put their Givenchy Spa (rated one of the best) to shame. Though my massage with Belinda was intially a blend of ecstasy and agony I knew that she had given me an understanding of what massage is supposed to be.
For me massage is all about releasing tension. Tension caused from hunching over a computer, from physical exercise, or simply from stress. Until we book ourselves in for a massage, we seldom acknowledge the extent of the stress we carry in our muscles. Belinda is honestly the first masseuse to have tackled my tension full-on. She has amazing pressure which remains consistent throughout all 90minutes of the massage, and responds well to… [ Read more ]
Lightly Salted
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Gallery Exhibitions on October 6, 2010
One of my nearest and dearest (miss MJ Reefer) has brought together a group of fabulously talented up and coming young graphic artists (all ladies) for an exhibition this month. The exhibition takes place at Mumbo Jumbo which is in Greenmarket Square (38 Shortmarket Street) and starts at 7pm on October 15th (friday.)
If you are lucky enough to be able to attend this event (ie you live in Cape Town and don’t have a parent’s birthday dinner- though you could bring the parental unit too…) you’ll be treated to a visual feast of illustrations, graphic art and urban street art.
There will refreshments for the early birds followed by live music and a live DJ set to kickoff the party afterwards.
To wet your appetite here is some of MJ’s work:
Here are some amuse bouches from the other artists:
I believe that all Christmas shopping… [ Read more ]

Postcards from the Past
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Fashion, Modeling, Swimwear, Vintage on September 15, 2010
On Saturday morning I climbed in front of the camera to model some swimwear and pretty dresses for Beatnik Bazaar.
Having “Saturday” as our call time, I let the morning tea and bed vibes last a little longer than usual, rolled my hair into pin curls, threw on a vintage inspired dress and then set off to Boulders Beach (doing my make-up in the car.)
I arrived, was presented with coffee (just the way I like it) and immediately transformed into a flirtatious stereotype.
How could I help myself? The 50′s is an era that epitomizes girly prettiness for prettiness’s sake. An era where curves and individuality (so long as you were white and good looking) was celebrated in the fashion scene…. the time before heroine chic and twiggy, when cooking was nearly as sexy as suspenders and where models look like they’re… [ Read more ]
Vanessa Haywood
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Beauty, Test Shoots on August 17, 2010
I recently had the pleasure of painting the already beautiful face of Vanessa Haywood. I was expecting attitude and diva-esque demands from the star of the science fiction thriller District 9 but instead found myself having a good chat and a giggle with this blonde bombshell.
As you can see, we went for a smouldery, sexy yet sophisticated look. I used MAC‘s Studio Fix fluid to give her a porcelain finish beneath the harsh studio lights, MAC‘s moisture-blend concealer to blur any “imperfections” and cream blush to give her cheeks additional glow. Her classic smokey eye was created with the help of the ultimate smudge kohl pencil in “smolder” and grey and silver pigments, and her lips were lined with “subculture” lip pencil and filled with “lightning” limited edition gloss.
