Launch of Cougar Lounge

My lovely friends who support me every step of the way, thanks ladies your all amazing.


Its been a busy busy week, and i have not had much time to write. But now the week has come to and end and what i have not done is NOT getting done. Tomorrow is my first official event since i have gone on my own. I am freaked out and oh so excited. I am worried that its going to flop cause this time i don't have my team mates to help me along the way. But i have triple checked everything and can't think that i have missed anything LOL let hope i am right!!!


Recently (my last event at Cougar Lounge) i was asked to organise the Official Launch for Cougar Lounge, my budget was small but i had to make it an amazing event. This took a lot of thinking and even more begging and pleading which i am not very good at. But lucky for me i have made some really great friends along the way, who were more than happy to help me out.

I wanted a Hollywood feeling with limos and Gorgeous people. I contacted my friend Nanette who works for executive Limos (cape town), i wanted to know if she could arrange a good price for me. Well this little angel not only got it for free but she got me 3 for both nights.


I also wanted the girls to look the part, we decided to ask Nicholas from YDE to design us a dress that would not only be workable but make us look SEXY. Well i can tell you that man was made to design, we looked stunning.


My very good friend Jasna and myself


I contacted all my suppliers and asked if they could help me out with free stock, so that i could give all the guests free drink and snacks. They were all so great and at the end of the night i was giving each guest a booklet with 5 free drinks. They loved this as you can imagine. My favourite drink was the Slush Margarita, it was watermelon flavour, which sound weird but i promise its a must try. Its so good, you will never want to drink anything else again.



One of my very good friend Jasna (who writes columns for various fashion mags), also took time out of her very busy schedule to come and support me for this event. She wrote the nicest blog about this event for me, thanks Jay your the best. Her man Mike also joined us and he is the one who took all these lovely photos that you see. I am truly blessed to have all these wonderful people in my life.


Mike in the limo

All the guests were driven around in the limo on the evening, which seemed to go down really well, all in all everyone had such a great time and by the end of the night the party was in full swing and nobody wanted to go home. It go so good that we even had a few of the bachelorette up on the bar dancing their hearts out one last time.


Now its off to bed, for the big event tomorrow, wish me luck.

Love as always

Bibi gone wild

Ok So my sister's getting married, and i was given the lovely job of creating the BEST last night of Freedom. Easy..................... not!!! When you have a sister like mine, who is wild and wonderful but a bit on the crazy side. Trying to come up with something NEW is a bit of a trick. But what an honour it was to be asked, she deserved only the best!



I decided to do something at the house, because anywhere else we would have been asked to leave !!!! I hired a pole dancer, to give her a few tips she could use once the magic started to fade away. A girl can never have too many tricks up her sleeve!! The pole dancer was such a great chick, who had us all laughing and blushing at the same time. I would recommend her anytime.






She really wanted to go out as well, i thought that it would be great if we were all dressed the same or similar. My whole theme was that it was her last night on the prowl and decided to dress her up as a devil. This got me thinking that i would be really cute if everyone wore horns.









My grandmother was among the guests (she is 81), well if anyone tells you age is a big thing come speak to her. This old lady was on that pole more than my sister was.



We had such a great night, and my sister was pleasantly surprised !! she had an amazing time, even won a dance competition at Stones in Edward Street (i think the pole dancing classes payed off) luck thing they had a pole for her to strut her stuff on !!!








Till next time.

Cougar Lounge Fantasy Party









I love to dress up. Its always so much fun to see what outfits people come up with when allowed to go wild and become their fantasy!!!

Last week at Cougar Lounge we had a fantasy dress up party and to my great suprise a lot of people came dressed up. It was soooo much fun.


We had R5 shooter specials, tons of other specials like 2 Dbl Brandy and Coke's for only R30.00 Single Vodka and Redbull for R25.00.




The party really got started when the ladies got up onto the bar and started dancing, it was soo much fun and even the customers got up and joined in on the fun!!!



I really had fun on this night, i came dressed as a bunny, Jacki as a Nurse and Tanya came as a police woman. There were also Medics, doctors and fireman. Deffinately going to do this again and SOON. Hope next time you will all be joining us


Love

Sander Van Dien

Sander Van Dien What an amazing guy
Crowed loving Sander, they could not get enough


Myself with Sander and his wacky yet wonderful side Kick





I was very lucky to get this one, and in truth i did not do much work for it, Halo would be the guys to take credit for it. But i was lucky enough that they picked my venue to host this really amazing night. Halo were approached by Ministry of Sound to bring world renowned Dutch D.J Sander Van Dien to Cape Town for one night.

Wow what a night, Sander is such a great guy who not only knows how to read a crowd but takes the time to speak to them and make friends. His set was off the charts. no one could sit, everyone was on the floor shaking it, until the sun came up.

I have added some photos of this event cause it was HOT!!!

Thanks to Halo and Sander for an awesome evening. Love you guys
