  1. I liked her fashion at that movie awards, I think it was AMAA. She was wearing Kluk I think (some south african thing with wings). Great statement.

    On the other hand, she's in that offbeat (Aquarian? Libran?) Slice of the population that I just don't get. Haven't bothered with this interview – I won't get her. The first answer: I regret (I think regret is dumb), not having a baby (I think well then have a bleeping baby) to give all my love to (I think puke!)

    Before the nice photo, I had seen her in one God-awful movie. I could not bring myself to care about the stupid Africans in the stupid marriage and stupid revenge or whatever. Funny thing is I think people liked the movie. I heard Phone Swap was a great movie but not ready to give this actress another chance yet. I mean it's not her fault that gender relations are so f'd up, but then again, how she could even do the role, as demeaning and dumb as it was, is a real question. Alright, peace and love.
