9 Comments J&B Met 2009 Elite Corporate Facilities in Cape Town

Article written by the brilliant Sean Lloyd on the 30 Sep 2008 , in the Cape Town Live music, parties and events category

If there are any corporates or private individuals wanting the best party of their lives, we have got itfor the 2009 J&B Met in Cape Town

I received a quote for the 2009 J&B Met, for a full hospitality set up for 200 guests, but we’re unable to receive confirmation from the various people that were supposed to attend. Instead of ditching the quote and losing the possible booking I thought I would put this out there to anyone who might be interested before we give this space away to someone else.

This is what you are looking at very briefly for the 2009 J&B Met:

  • Full marquee set up
  • 42″ plasma screen tv installed
  • Flooring
  • Carpets
  • Dedicated security
  • Dedicated tote facilities
  • Dedicated VIP toilets with janitor
  • Dedicated cleaner for the day
  • Outdoor furniture (Beechwood)
  • Buffet lunch and tea/coffee
  • Afternoon snacks
  • Chairs, tables and linen
  • Cutlery and crockery
  • Catering service
  • Full bar service
  • Village and corporate signage
  • VIP parking and shuttle service

You’re going to be looking at spending around R740000 which is three quarters of a million South African Rand, but it’s not really that much in the bigger scheme of things. Think about it…it’s not. This quote can still be worked on and there are a multitude of other options that can be organised. And the team organising it are the best in the industry and are doing some very high profile events, otherwise we wouldn’t deal with them.

So if you’re a corporate wanting to show some glitz and glam to your clients, or just a private individual wanting to have the party of your life with 200 of your closest friends and family at the 2009 J&B Met, don’t hesitate to contact me and I will put you onto the team to organise this for you. You can contact me at: seanl@slxs.co.za

Please do forward this to anyone you think might be interested as I can’t hold onto it for much longer…

Thanks ladies and gentleman!

0 Comments Intimo:Luxury mens underwear & swimwear in Cape Town

Article written by the brilliant Sean Lloyd on the , in the Cape Town Fashion & Grooming category

With Cape Town being a cosmopolitan city, you will see your fair share of guys kicking it in suits from the likes of Armani, Hugo Boss and our own Shakur Olla. And now we finally have a place stocking underwear that fits in with the exclusivity of these suits.

Intimo was founded by Giovanni and David and they offer a selection of handpicked, sought after international brands which you will want. Chicks dig it when you are wearing Calvin Klein underwear.

Situated in Sea Points exclusive Piazza da Luz, Intimo offers ranges from Italy and Los Angeles such as Bikkembergs, Diesel, Calvin Klein and Andrew Christian that are all selected from annual underwear shows in Paris and Milan.

It’s actually SO weird, because I was just browsing through my terrabyte of midget circus porn when I came across a folder called “I’d do me”

It was from my old modelling days (I got out of the industry on top while I was wealthy and ripped) and shows me wearing a pair of Calvin Klein underwear.

It’s weird that I went from being the most ridiculously good looking and ripped model to running SLXS. How crazy is that? Anyway, you will need a body like mine to pull of a shot like this, but with a bit of gym I’m confident you will do it:

You have to do this. On your Facebook page, click “Settings” on the top right of your page. Go to “Account settings”, then “Language” and scroll down to “English: Pirate”

Hectic!

After this people don’t write on your wall, they “scrawl”, your inbox becomes a “Bottle o’ messages”, home becomes “Home port” and logout becomes “Abandon ship”

And that’s when you know you have waaaaaay too much time on your hands.

0 Comments Veuve Clicquot and Porsche make ice buckets

Article written by the brilliant Sean Lloyd on the 29 Sep 2008 , in the Uncategorized category

I was reminded of this when I went to Hemisphere on Friday night for some sort of Veuve Clicquot party. Shane from The House of Marketing had sent me this link (HERE) a while back letting me know of the best way to chill champagne, knowing that I like the odd tipple.

After 5 years of research (Time well spent on keeping nerds in a lab) Porsche and Veuve Clicquot have created a Viagra of sorts because it is giving me a huge bone.

PRESS. CHILL. SHARE are the words it goes by. This ice bucket will cool a bottle of champagne in 20 minutes, and keep it cool for 4 hours. The secret is in it’s cooling core, which unfortunately can only be used twice (Once for 8 hours, or twice for four hours) It works by drawing heat out of the bottles and into a heating stone…I think. Actually I’m not sure what it’s vibe is, but it’s sick!

We refer to these lifestyle accessories as “panty droppers” because chicks go mental for this stuff because it shows that you are wealthy. And wealth unfortunately trumps good looks (Donald Trump, Mini Me, Lyle Lovett etc)

This should launch in 2009 which incidentally is exactly 100 years after the first bottle of champagne was produced by a young man named Jean Girard Champoen. Brewing the first load of champagne from potatoes on board the HMS Tittyride, Jean Girard was a conqueror of the ladies. It is said his spirit lives on in every bottle of champagne made today, hence the reason why every time you enjoy a bottle of champagne with a lady, you get sex.

The first bottle of champagne was enjoyed by Jean Girard and his lady love on board HMS Tittyride off there by the Bahamas, and that night he went on to pump out a couple of Girardlings. It is said he died afterwards, and his ashes were placed in this bottle of champagne and mixed with cocaine and scattered in the ocean.

Which seemingly explains why models like Kate Moss have lots of sex, do lots of cocaine, drink lots of champagne and like to chill on yachts in exotic locations.

Jean Girard can also therefore be credited with the “Size Zero” or “Runway Diet” of champagne and cocaine which helps models keep their sexual physiques.

Truly a revolutionary, Jean Girard was a great man and his spirit lives on in every bottle of champagne. And with the Veuve Clicquot and Porsche designed ice bucket, his spirit is now a cool one.

A tribute to a legend, prost!

0 Comments Clever Camps Bay Karma

Article written by the brilliant Sean Lloyd on the , in the Cape Town Design and Advertising category

I was shuttled through to Karma in Camps Bay on Saturday night to check out the vibe with the B2R Team in the B2R Truck.

Something that I found very clever was the stamps that Karma give you upon entrance. Most nightclubs just give you a regular stamp with the name of the club, or some other random stamp. Karma have got a very clever idea though tied in with Rikkis Cabs.

Check out the stamp below:

Photobucket

Stamped on my strong and powerful wrist 

It’s not too clear as I started showering, then realised I needed a photo of the stamp, so some had washed off. But it says “Don’t drink and drive. Call a Rikkis” The number of Rikkis is also then printed on there, but I can’t quite make it out.

I think it’s a great idea that nightclubs promote the use of cabs so we don’t have a whole lot of drunk people driving around Cape Town, endangering their lives and other peoples lives. It’s such a simple idea, but I thought it was really clever, and if it can reduce the number of drunk drivers on the roads, then it can only be a good thing. Rikkis have definitely done a lot for reducing drunk driving in Cape Town, with some clubs having phones you can use for free to call Rikkis and organise a cab.

This public service announcement is brought to you by SLXS in the hope that you will still drink excessively…and then NOT drive yourself.

0 Comments What is up with serving suggestions?

Article written by the brilliant Sean Lloyd on the 26 Sep 2008 , in the Uncategorized category

Look, we’ve gone into how stupid corporates are with their branding before here on SLXS. We spoke about Pick ‘n Pay and their plain soda water that was labeled as flavoured (Over HERE)

We’ve also spoken about how Woolworths want us to take their tinned peas, put them back in their pods and then serve them (Over HERE)

Now we are onto Spar. I strolled in at a brisk pace after dropping a bottle of Bach Rescue Remedy inside my brain because I was having a blinder of a day. I drank that bottle but was then too chilled, so I needed some coffee to pick me up. I don’t drink a lot of coffee, but when I do I grind the beans myself so I know they are fresh and strong.

What do you know? Spar don’t want me to drink their coffee, they want me to just serve the whole beans. Just like that. On a plate, or in a bowl or something because that is what their serving suggestion is.

How on planet earth am I going to enjoy whole coffee beans on their own? Is this some sort of sinister trick to kill Sean?

Spar, do you even find this mildly amusing? Do you know what a serving suggestion is? It is a suggested way of serving something!

Why do you suggest I serve my coffee as whole beans, with no grinding, with no water, with NOTHING!

I am absolutely speechless as I seem to cover this serving suggestion topic with every shop that I go into. I just don’t have anything left in me to even raise an argument.

I’m shattered.

2 Comments Goldfish at Assembly tonight

Article written by the brilliant Sean Lloyd on the , in the Cape Town dates to diarise category

Remember everyone, Goldfish are playing at Assembly tonight.

We don’t need to go into the details of this do we? You just know in your DNA that you should be there. Tickets are R80.

It’s happening at The Assembly in Cape Town which is at 61 Harrington Street, or Road, whatever. Tickets to be bought online at Webtickets are already sold out so I’m not quite sure why I’m telling you this, but anyway!

Shit…I don’t even know if my crew bought tickets for me. I hope so…otherwise someone is fired!

0 Comments The beer goggle effect

Article written by the brilliant Sean Lloyd on the 25 Sep 2008 , in the Uncategorized category

I found this very scientific website that delves deep into how beer affects a mans judgment. “Beer goggles blind” is an affliction that I myself have experienced once or twice and it is scary, shocking and can sometimes be deadly.

I’m sure all of those with a love for the beer will think twice after seeing this, seeing what beer can do to your sex life.

From shagging Gisele the night before, you wake up next to Shrek and it’s not funny, unless your mates post a video of sorts to YouTube or the pictures get put on Facebook. If those things happen, it’s funny, unless you’re the guy who slept with the whale.

0 Comments Trevarno Organic Men’s Moisturiser

Article written by the brilliant Sean Lloyd on the , in the Cape Town Fashion & Grooming category

It’s a well known fact that I like to keep my youthful looks through a debaucherous drinking regime healthy diet and the right skincare products. Seriously, I’m not really afraid to admit things and I have probably been using moisturiser since standard 7. Hey, the ridicule I would have received! It seems I was way ahead of my time in that respect. Back in the D everyone would have laughed had I told them I actually used a face wash that did not contain soap, and that I put cream on my face, like a chick!

For me it’s been necessary as I have always had very dry skin, even after supplementing with flaxseeds and fish oil supplements. And that’s one of the reasons for my silky smooth skin, I have always spent some decent money on it. Obviously now I don’t buy things anymore because they get sent to me for free! Well…not exactly.

But in this case, Faithful to Nature have been kind enough to send me one of their top men’s products, in the form of the Trevarno Organic Men’s Facial Moisturiser. Being organic, you will not find anything unnatural in this face cream, and it really does do your skin wonders. I have been using it in place of my normal cream for the past couple of days, and it’s an absolute treat!

Trevarno Organic Men's Facial Moisturiser

On my face

What I love about it is that it does not smell of a moisturiser that is artificial. I used the Aramis Lab Series Lift Off Plus moisturiser a couple of years ago, and I couldn’t get over the smell of it. All day it would make me feel ill.

Coming in at R203 for 30ml’s, the Trevarno moisturiser is not as cheap as something like, say a Nivea moisturiser. But that’s not what we are about…we are about giving you the best in lifestyle choices! I would never recommend something inferior and this Trevarno moisturiser is the absolute best.

The moisturiser contains oils of Jojoba, Olive with Calendula, Sesame and Carrot Oil and Grapefruit Seed Extract. Those of you in the know in health circles (Like I am…cough cough…) will know that a supplement called Procydin is made from grape seed extract. Grape seed extract is a powerful anti-oxidant, so should help to protect your skin from oxidative stress caused by smoke, pollution and the sun (I kid you not…that line was not copied and pasted, that’s from memory, I’m a God!)

Furthermore it is enriched with Vitamin E, well known in aiding healthy skin.

FURTHERmore it is blended with antibacterial Teatree, Lemongrass and Rosewood essential oils so you are not going to be breaking out like you do with that cheap cream you have been using from Pick ‘n Pay.

Using a moisturiser such as the Trevarno Men’s Organic Moisturiser is one of the best things you can do to keep a hold of your youthful skin, and the earlier you start using it the better. Look we all want to be like Bear Grylls and tell people we don’t use moisturiser, but lets be honest here. I see all my friends, drinking beer, smoking, going to outdoor festivals, but secretly they keep loads of moisturiser in their bathroom cabinets! I’ve seen it guys! Don’t be shy…Look at me…I’m letting the whole of Cape Town know.

In my personal opinion this is one of the finest moisturisers for men out there. I think it’s probably just as comfortable sitting in your bathroom cabinet as it is next to a bottle of whisky. The black tub with the silver lid almost hides the fact that it’s a moisturiser…and it’s organic. The smell of this cream is absolutely stunning and cannot be compared to anything else you have ever tried. The container can also be recycled easily as it’s glass which is a bonus.

Guys trust me I know all the moisturisers and this is the one you want. I cannot even describe the smell but it’s just very natural and does not clog up your nose with some overpowering fragrance all day. The fragrance is courtesy of the natural blend of ingredients and is quite calming to the senses!

I have quite dry skin if I don’t use cream, and this keeps my skin soft all day and yet it it’s not greasy. It also doesn’t feel like you’re wearing a mask, as I sometimes find some creams feels thick and heavy on your face. It’s light yet moisturising, absorbs quickly and is easy to apply. It’s the perfect men’s moisturiser and the packaging even makes it look Chuck Norris!

I’ve just washed my face this morning and applied the Trevarno Organic Men’s moisturiser and just look a the results! My skin is glowing!

Photobucket

Glowing!

So if you want to look youthful, if you want chicks to touch you, if you want to make more money, feel more confident, have healthier and smoother skin then Trevarno moisturiser is the answer!

Another great thing about using a face cream is that you keep your tan longer, and even in the middle of winter, you just look healthier. I’m often asked in winter why I look so tanned, and I don’t do the fake tan thing, so I have to put this down to my diet, drinking lot’s of filtered water (In between binges of alcohol) and also using the very best moisturisers.

So do the right thing and click HERE to buy the same Trevarno moisturiser I have on my face right now.

And for the ladies…there is obviously the rest of the stunning Trevarno range for you, and there is a 20% discount when you buy the cleanser, toner and moisturiser. Click HERE to get it!

Also look out for the great ranges from Esse , Garden Route Organics and The Victorian Garden which is a luxurious yet very cost effective range.Three fabulous brands (All local I believe. And yes, I can and will use the word “fabulous”)

UPDATE: CRISIS that’s a big photo of my face!

2 Comments Bread bag advertising

Article written by the brilliant Sean Lloyd on the 23 Sep 2008 , in the Cape Town Design and Advertising category

I was just browsing Cherryflava and they had THIS article relating to an MTN advert of a loaf of bread. It’s weird…on April 23 this year I wrote THIS piece and wondered why there was no advertising yet on pizza boxes to offset the increasing prices of wheat around the world.

The breadmakers have taken the initiative…but unfortunately this ad money has not helped the consumer as the price of bread has not dropped.

It will be interesting to note if place like Butlers take to allowing advertising on their pizza boxes. After all what do they have to lose? Stoner students are not going to change to another pizza outlet because they feel Butlers have sold out.
