The Randomness :Elephant makes Survivor Gabon contestants appreciate life!

Okay,so I've started this section where I will just blog about random things I see that are related to Africa that are either hilarious (like this one),or just stuff that doesn't necessarily fit into any subject category..here we go!

On the last episode of survivor Gabon ,the fang tribe saw an elephant near their area and spent a long time (as the show portrayed) in complete amazement .It was pretty hilarious .Then Ace and Matty got in a canoe and went in for a closer look (did they get the memo on the fact that elephants sometimes kill humans?).According to Matty,seeing the elephant makes him "appreciate life".Who knew an elephant could do that?Ne way,here is footage of the elephant meeting.U have to fast-forward it because I couldn't find footage of just that part.

Who Needs To Fire Their Stylist ASAP?

Okay,I'm always ranting on about Miss Estelle's style (As in lack of it),and this dress she wore to the MOBO Awards recently did not escape my fashion police eyes..
I'm thinking that Miss estelle's stylist needs a cellphone thrown at her Naomi-Campbell style or needs to get fired asap!That dress looks like a 5 year old with ADD and too much fabric and a huge scissors was sewing that up and tearing it to pieces!
The fashion police have spoken!

In other related news,according to myparkmag.co.uk
,wasn't even bothered about winning the Best Female Uk award at the MOBO's.She seemed to prefer song of the year as she said,
"I think song of the year would be the one (she wanted to win most) coz you always want to write a good song."
I can't even comment on that because I'm so bothered by that dress!That's what happens when you get dressed in the dark I guess!

So You Think You Can Dance SOUTH AFRICA/HIGH SCHOOL MUISCAL SA?

One of my fave Tv dance shows is finally headed to Africa.Well,South Africa actually.The wildly successful US show is finally headed to SA and I'm curious to see how it pans out.I haven't been able to get any footage yet ,so be patient .I can't wait to see the dancers solo acts and see how they measure up compared to the US dancers .And I wonder who the judges and chereographers will be..

Speaking of dance ,here is a clip from Dance Africa ,the channel o created show where dances from selected african countries compete for a chance to be crowned "Africa's Best Dancer".This was the only clip I could find and is of the Nigerian contestant .

DANCE AFRICA.



And in other news,apparently,there is or just was an SA version of High School Musical .Wow...I guess we are doing good on the copy-american-tv-shows thing .But maybe instead of basketball,they should make Troy (played by Zac Efron in the US version play soccer).Just saying...Don't really care who wins High School Musical 3.

Lupe Designs for Product Red and hot new African Product Red bag!
