#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 ]
Sneak Video Peek at Marie Claire’s 2012 Naked Issue

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.

FHM’s 89th Sexiest Woman in the World

FHM South Africa came out with their 100 sexiest women in the world list earlier this year…. and much to my shock and disbelief I was on it!!
Thank you to Rio for bringing me a copy of the magazine, all the way from South Africa so that I could scan in the above photograph as well as the whole page:
Yep – I beat Ke$ha, Selena Gomez, Britney (99 – she barely made it this year), Kim Kardashian, Eva Longaria and a coupe of people I’ve never heard of. I had never entered a beauty pageant before or any sort of competition like this – but thanks to a series of online votes from the interwebs at large I was honoured with an official sexy stamp which I find puzzling, amazing, delightful and with a history of childhood bullying and low self esteem, a tad bizarre.
Thanks… [ Read more ]
Everything’s Gonna Be Okay
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Editorial on May 12, 2010
The 90′s were an awkward decade. They brought us crochet shirts, goa-inspired prints, grunge, flannel (thanks Kurt) and saw the “new age” movement resurrected from the grave that the shoulder-pad clad glam’s of the 80′s pushed it into. However the 90′s was not an entirely “lost” decade trying to find itself in whale sounds. . . on the contrary the 90′s gave its youth the freedom to truly express themselves as fashion turned individualistic (think custom jeans, and T-shirts with a message) and/or counter cultural as tattoos and piercings started to become accepted and popular, along with retro styles as people looked back to the 60′s and 70′s for fashion inspiration. The 90′s also saw an increasing acceptance of homo-sexuality and tolerance. In 1990 the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from its list of diseases and in 1994 South Africa saw an end to Apartheid.
