Consistently ranked in the top 100 blogs in South Africa according to Afrigator, SLXS is one of the most popular and highly ranked lifestyle websites in South Africa.
Built from the ground up on nothing but photos, videos and monumental amounts of writing, I’ve spent 4 years of my life building SLXS into a premier destination for people wanting to live a life of excess. It’s raw and uncut, with none of those editorial guidelines that regular magazines suffer from.
What originally started off as a personal website, has now changed into a lifestyle website focusing on four key areas: XStreme Sport, Fashion, Real Estate,Cars and then some other areas including Night Life, Photography, Music, Product Reviews, Movies and Books. At all times we’ll keep our focus on ‘excess’, so nothing featured will come too cheap. I used to be interested in personal blogging but I was young when I started this website, and no longer want my nights out and my personal life featured. Although there are elements of my life in here, and this is what makes makes SLXS so appealing, it’s written by real people and not some lowly paid journalist on a deadline.
Sean Lloyd, your editor at large.
SLXS is a mix of fact, fiction and satire and readers are required to differentiate, with the divisions being clear i.e a write up on a party will be completely accurate with regards to dates, times and places but if I mention that I was doing coke off a circus midget, readers are required to use some common sense to separate the fact from the fiction. A read up on our archives will also get you into the swing of things quickly.
I built up SLXS out of a passion for writing and a passion for letting people in on what’s awesome and what’s not so awesome. To help you lead a better life.
