Bianca Koyabe7am You will more than likely find me at a yoga or pilates class at the gym (Virgin Active). A lovely and refreshing way to start the day. www.virginactive.co.za

11am Most mornings I start my day with a delicious green juice or smoothie from Kauai. And their revamped menu is nothing short of amazing. My favourite one is at The Wedge Shopping Centre in Morningside. www.kauai.co.za

3pm I really enjoy spending time in Braamfontein in the afternoons. Visiting my friend Roxy Ferreira’s store Parooz Fashions or having a quick lunch at The Smokehouse and Grill is always a winner. Their burgers are my favourite. Oh and there’s free wifi (that never hurt anyone, lol!) www.thesmokehouseandgrill.co.za www.paroozfashions.co.za

6pm I am really active and I love getting in a good workout. Twice a week you will find me at Sandton Fight Club involved in a high intensity boxing workout session with some of the best trainers in the country. Ladies (and gents) it’s not too late to work on your bodies, this promises to be one of the best workouts you will endure. www.fightclubsa.com

8pm I love to relax and unwind from the week and have a few glasses of wine with my friends. One of my favourite spots is the Hyde Park Sun Deck. Ample space and a great place for pre-drinks before heading out.

Theatre producer Bernard Jay is proud to announce his fifteenth collaboration with acclaimed

writer/director Janice Honeyman on the annual Joburg Theatre pantomime productions. These much anticipated family entertainments have become the most popular stage shows in South Africa, each year attracting over 65,000 patrons.

The evergreen tale of the beautiful princess who is cursed at her christening by the wicked fairy in Janice Honeyman’s “pantomime of your dreams”, Sleeping Beauty, will be on the stage of The Mandela at Joburg Theatre from November 7th to December 30th 2015. This will be the first time the pantomime Sleeping Beauty has been staged at Joburg Theatre since 2002.

On her 18th birthday, the Princess Aurora-Adora will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die. But our Good Fairy Floradora Daisy offers some hope – she changes the spell to ensure that the princess won’t die, but will fall into an enchanted sleep for one hundred years from which she will only awake if kissed by the one she loves,

Hello Joburg

ADVERTORIAL

Prince Harry Hunkador the Handsome!

Janice Honeyman promises that “Our Sleeping Beauty will bring the pure magic of pantomime once again to Joburg, mixed with sheer spectacle, special effects, laughter, outrageous puns, double-entendres and the most popular of contemporary music, mixed together with some classic melodies always associated with this story. Not to mention the giant spider, the fateful spinning wheel and That Kiss!”

Bernard Jay adds, “This has to be the most exciting – and certainly most romantic – cast we have ever managed to bring together for a Joburg Theatre pantomime.”

After a two-year absence from the panto tradition, the most beloved of all South African panto stars, Tobie Cronjé, returns to grace the Joburg stage with his over-the-top portrayal of Dame Nora Nursey.

South Africa’s newest musical theatre star, Candida Mosoma, returns to Joburg Theatre as the Good Fairy Floradora Daisy directly after her triumphant, show-stopping portrayal of Deloris Van Cartier in the smash hit musical Sister Act.

Romance and laughs a-plentyIN JANICE HONEYMAN’S PANTOMIME SLEEPING BEAUTY

Named one of Cosmopolitan Magazine’s Sexiest Men in 2010, Sowetan Live’s sexiest in 2011 and fourth in Men’s Health Cover Guy Search in 2014, Christopher Jaftha returns to panto at Joburg Theatre as Prince Harry Hunkador the Handsome, following his triumphant success in the title role of Janice Honeyman’s 2013 Aladdin. Chris has already had a phenomenal year in 2015, being one of the Top 10 finalists in Top Billing’s on-screen Presenter Search for SABC3 and having just completed a starring role in the musical West Side Story in Cape Town.

Nicole Fortuin started her career as a dancer – representing South Africa internationally on many occasions – and can be seen this year not only on stage as Chris Jaftha’s Princess Aurora-Adora in Sleeping Beauty, but also together with her same lead actor in SABC3’s new Afrikaans Drama Series Roer Jou Voete.

Timothy Moloi, one of South Africa’s most prolific and popular performers, also returns to the panto this year to play the revealingly named character of Sir Poensface Ponce-a-Lot, following his glorious and highly-praised

sold-out concert A Tribute to Luther Vandross at Gold Reef City in celebration of his 40th birthday.

South African television and theatre star Michelle Botha will play the Wicked Fairy Kakkamella Khakibos. Michelle was last seen at Joburg Theatre in her much lauded outrageous starring role as The Lady of the Lake in the musical Monty Python’s Spamalot.

Join all the zany pantomime characters – including Matthew Berry as Maaikie Mouse, Dionne Song as Miemsie Mouse, L J Urbani as King Daffy Dum Doodle, Michele Levin as Queen Dolly Dum Dilly and Clive Gilson as Jester Cracker-Jack - as they battle with dragons and time machines to ensure that the prince is ready to wake the sleeping princess on time. Then watch the battle of good over evil commence as our princess is awoken from 100 years of sleep.

Providing additional style and some ‘wow moments’ in Sleeping Beauty will be nine youngsters from the Joburg sports and dance training academy Art of Motion. These hugely talented youngsters will be integrated into the panto story, using their skills in ballet, Irish, Latin American, African, Hip Hop and contemporary dance.

Completing the huge all-South African cast of this year’s Joburg Theatre panto will be Daniel Fisher, Tshepo Ncokoane, Sean Louw, Keaton Ditchfield, Dale Scheepers, Bisi Bangiwe Ka Jobela, Kiruna-Lind Devar, Sarah Richard, Venolia Manale, Mary-Jane Zimri, Suzaan Helberg and Maryanne Van Eyssen.

Janice Honeyman’s award-winning creative panto team of Timothy Le Roux (resident director), Graham McLusky (lighting designer) and Trevor Peters (sound designer) will be joined for the first time this year by choreographer Paul Modjadji.

Paul Modjadji is currently in the top 1% of applicants from Africa to participate in President Obama’s Mandela Fellowship Programme in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Washington DC and the only dancer in the world to be appointed ambassador by two international dance organisations, the European Star Dance Union and the prestigious Dance World Cup qualifiers.

Marga Sander serves as Musical Director for Sleeping Beauty with Drew Rienstra as Assistant Musical Director.

Sleeping Beauty is produced by Bernard Jay for Joburg Theatre, with associate producers Simon James and Claire Pacariz, and is brought to Joburg Theatre in association with MNet, Jacaranda FM and Your Family Magazine.

Over 30,000 tickets have already been sold for this year’s Joburg Theatre pantomime, with tickets for preview performances on Saturday November 7th and Sunday November 8th from R165 and for regular performances from November 13th to December 30th from R215. Special group discounts and hospitality packages are available. H

MEET ALAN & KRISHEN: They are Joburg’s fashion forward duo. They will bring you front row fashion and the latest in street style every month, keeping you updated on the hottest Jozi trends.

Alan and Krishen# TrendMen

The festive season is just around the corner and your trusty #TrendMen are already on the lookout for what we think will trend in 2016. With that in mind, we were very keen to check out the hottest trends on the runway during the recent international Fashion Weeks held in New York, London, Milan and Paris. One of the major trends we noticed was the appearance of geometric pattern. We have seen geometric prints slowly develop over the past few years, from clothes utilising polka dot motifs through to bold stripes and chevrons, but for Spring/Summer 2016 we expect to see prints go beyond the ordinary. It’s going to be all about pushing the envelope and being brave. We have a strong feeling the keywords next season will be ’bold’ and ‘bright’.

FREE!! The secret to modernising the geometric trend is to go for large, bold patterns such as this oversized houndstooth design from Paule Ka.

Donna Karan shows that the look can be easily updated by ditching last season’s black and white and going for bright colours.

This trend is not limited to international catwalks. Geometric patterns are the staple of the locally produced KISUA collection – available at their stores in Hyde Park Corner and Melrose Arch.

Your summer shoe wardrobe will certainly be fashionably sorted thanks to a recent

release from Superga, who continued on the wonderful and well established relationship with Poppy Ntshongwana. As the beautiful face of Superga South Africa, the media darling has collaborated for a second time with the People's Shoes of Italy to bring us yet another awe-inspiring and on-trend Spring Summer range. At the #PoppyPerSuperga launch on the 20th of October 2015, the designer/DJ/model mentioned that, this collection is primarily created compared the initial collection which was purely curated. This season's campaign was shot by the coveted Brett Rubin & styled by the sensational Candice Lee Waldman. With the A team on make-up and hair; Saadique Ryklief & Lesley Whitby. The brief was to keep the images clean & classic allowing the personality of the range as well as Poppy herself to sparkle. Simplistic styling combined with fresh make-up and hair attribute to the overall modern feel of the campaign. Do you see the magic as much as we do?Questioned regarding Superga's decision to continue the relationship with Poppy, Marketing Manager Katy Ward had the following to say: "Poppy has been with our brand for a whole season already, growing with our brand from strength to strength in ladies' fashion. Where her personal style has grown over the last 18 months, so too has Superga's. Both brands, hers and ours, follow chic, high-end,

The Superga X Poppy Spring Summer 2015/16 Rangefeminine fashion and for us there was no other better fit than Poppy herself, yet again". The multi-faceted media personality's talents range from (but are not limited to) TV presenting, carving a huge name for herself as an outstanding MC, commercial club DJ and not forgetting daytime host of the hugely popular House of Poppy show on radio powerhouse 5FM. Now the media dynamo adds designer to her list of credentials, as Poppy was hugely instrumental in the design process of her range, from the first drawing to the very last stitch. Poppy's range for Superga will feature six standout styles exuding not only trend but elegance. Shoe fanatics are well catered for through this custom designed collaboration of the most popular high-fashion styles trending internationally; a true reflection of Poppy's personal style and extensive research on current trends. It is undoubtedly a flawless fusion between footwear and design. Catering to a unisex market on the larger degree. "My Spring Summer range is for fashion forward young women and men who appreciate a bit of glam and edginess. I've infused my very personal style into every shoe. There's a shoe for everyone and for every occasion. I'm a huge fan of classic fashion with a touch of personality and bright hues, and as such I've made sure that is strongly reflected in my range", says Poppy. "This collaboration differs significantly from the previous one. Not only did I get to actually design each and every shoe, the range is also a lot more mature. I have done a lot of growing over the past year, and this is definitely reflected in the styles I have gone for this time around", continues Poppy. The Superga X Poppy Spring Summer 2015/16

range will be exclusively available at Superga Concept Stores nationwide from 24 October. With Superbalist also being the exclusive online retailer for the range. H
