Sports Illustrated and Red Socks – #FriskyFriday
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2012 events on May 17, 2012
Frisky Friday kittens.
I’m shooting with Sports Illustrated today – and I’m going to be arriving at the shoot in red socks.
Why red socks? Not because they go with everything… because they don’t….
but they do represent a number of things – red socks fridays is “a movement dedicated to making a difference, being passionate, inspiring others and being inspired, staying positive, remembering friends and expressing yourself!”
You can follow the red socks movement on twitter here or facebook here.
Red Socks Fridays was started by John McInroy
John likes his speedo. We forgive him because he looks delicious in it.
He is also (more importantly) a part of the Unogwaja Challenge:

Friday the 13th
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2012 events, Alternative, Reasons to vote for SLK in the SASI NMS., Video, Zombies on April 13, 2012
If you’re superstitious, you probably think Friday the 13th is a pretty unlucky day.
The fear of Friday the 13th is called Friggatriskaidekaphobia (Frigga being the name of the Norse goddess for whom “Friday” is named and triskaidekaphobia meaning fear of the number thirteen)
The fear of zombies is called Kinemortophobia. (The fear of the undead.) or Necrophobia (the Fear of death or dead things) or even Ambulothananatophobia (The irrational fear of the walking dead)
The fear of a beautiful woman is called: Venustraphobia
You don’t see the connection?

Mojito Truffles
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2012 events, Food and Drinks, Lady Kaye, Video on April 12, 2012
How to make Mojito Truffles.
You will need:
110g Chocolate – spend money here – the better the chocolate the better the truffles will be. Read the ingredients at the back and look for a slab with a high percentage of cocoa solids rather than a chemical blend of sugar and vegetable oil.
5Tablespoons of butter
170g icing sugar (sift it before you set it aside)
100ml ground almonds
2 egg yolks – the lethicin found in egg yolk is a binding agent that holds the truffle together.
25ml Bacardi Rum - (you can substitute for 25ml of another liquid if you avoid alchohol)
a drop or two of peppermint essence (again you could substitute)
a pinch of vanilla seeds
candied lime peel (zest the green part of the lime, roll in egg white then castor sugar then bake with a fan/oven door open on the… [ Read more ]
Desert – Island – No problem!
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Reasons to vote for SLK in the SASI NMS. on March 2, 2012
I am experienced in both desert and island survival.
I believe this makes me an excellent candidate for the new Sports Illustrated Swimwear Model.
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.
#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 ]
Little Red
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2011 Events, Alternative, Lady Kaye, London, Modeling, Test Shoots on February 6, 2012
As many of you know I was fortunate enough to work with Rick Nunn for a couple of days in 2011. After shooting “White in the Woods” we got onto something creative and attempted “Little Red.” Rick burgled his parent’s house for the basket, rented the cape from a local fancy dress shop, and I put together the rest with a little help from my theatrical wardrobe.
Rick shot the first three digitally – and the rest on expired film which is what caused the unusual colour tones and grain on the later images.
The first image above is my favorite – which is yours?
So those were the digital… but Rick also shot this on FILM with his Canon 1V-hs with the Canon EF 135mm F/2.0 L on expired Fuji X-tra ISO400 (which is where these amazing tones come from).
White in the Woods.

As I mentioned in my “Streetcat” jeans and vest post, my modeling agency are keen for me to get a few more photos looking innocent and not wearing much makeup.
Rick Nunn (of the internet) shot these photos for me in Lincoln Forest. I got bitten a countless number of times by midges or mozzies or whatever lives out there, but the images were worth it.
My Agency also really like this headshot Rick took of me. Its a strange angle, but its nice and fresh.
- You can see this photo (and some of the others) much much bigger on Rick’s Flickr.
- You can also check out Rick’s website here and you can like his facebook page here.
- I have a facebook page too… these images were up there months ago. Like it here.

A streetcat named Sam.
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2011 Events, Fashion, Lady Kaye, Modeling, Test Shoots on January 17, 2012
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 ]
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 ]
