RYK NEETHLING - Chasing the Dream

The story of Ryk Neethling is much more than the story of a triumphant sportsman. It is the story of a fiercely determined swimmer from Bloemfontein who overcame great odds – a near-drowning, social awkwardness and family tragedy – to become an Olympic champion. In this autobiography, Ryk tells of his travels to the US to pursue his Olympic dream; the experience of winning gold in Athens in 2004; the murky world of steroids in sport; his ongoing battle with the sport’s administrators; his struggles with his Afrikaner identity; and his rejection of a multimillion-dollar offer to swim for another country. The title will take the story up to the end of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, in which Ryk will become the only South African to compete in four successive Olympic Games.

Brad Pitt's Private Photos of Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie is on the cover of W Magazine and causing a bit of a stir. A candid photo, taken by walking sperm bank Brad Pitt, features Jolie breastfeeding one of her twins. Are you really surprised Angie is trumping the naked and pregnant celebrity mag covers? We are lucky Matthew McConaughey didn’t give it a whirl.

Inside the issue are the rest of the family photos which feature Angelina, Maddox and the twins. Shiloh was even let out of the cellar for a few photos. For more of the candid photos including Jolie pissed about eating a sandwich, check out W Magazine.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie....look at this!

Katie Holmes looks amazing

Dressed in a white tunic ensemble with black embroidery, which takes it inspiration from French clown Pierrot, Katie looks stunning and has clearly matured into a role as a Hollywood style icon.

And on the cover of fashion magazine In Style, the wife of Tom Cruise, and mother of 23-month-old Suri is seen in typically glamorous mode

Look who has grown up!

I always figured that Dakota Fanning would grow up to be a beautiful young lady, but who knew she'd be so fashionable?
Dakota showed up to the premiere of her newest movie, The Secret Life of Bees, wearing an adorable black strapless dress paired with purple t-strap heels.
One can never go wrong with a little black dress, and Dakota's manages to be both age appropriate and fashionably forward.
As fabulous as I think Dakota's dress is though, I think her shoes are my favorite part of the outfit.
The splash of color provided by her purple heels takes her look from safe to trendsetting.

My fabulous weekend in Sun City

I was very blessed and fortunate enough to spent this past weekend at Sun City.
For those of you that does not know, the 1st & 2nd weekend in October belongs to Huisgenoot's Skouspel.
Skouspel has become one of the highlights on the Afrikaans Music Calendar.

Emma and I waited for Michelle after Friday night's rehearsal and immediately made friends with the likes of Dozi, Theuns Jordaan, Bok van Blerk and the very famous Kurt Darren.
I was very suprized at how friendly and down to earth all of them were!
Emma and I had a blast partying with them on Friday night and had a slight headache Saturday morning.
It was just as well that we spent most of our day in the sun Saturday.
Check out some of my pictures on Facebook to see how the weekend went!
