Be honest - did you watch American Idol? No – I watched the semi-finals and finals of " South Africa’s got talent“ and now and then “Strictly come dancing” (BBC – we haven’t had that for a long time in S.A.) and now and then America’s “So you think you can dance.” I’m not all that into reality shows.
Are you happy to see 2010 go? Yes, what is done is done. I look forward to 2011. Lots of exciting projects.

I got high rise jeans. Jeh! I got a turquoise and a red dress and I love them both. And two turqoise tops and a black top to match my turqouise and black skirts. 2010 was my turquoise year! And practical walking sandals - less tiring than flip flops.
Been naughty or nice?
I think I’ve been more nice that naughty.
What are you wishing for in 2011? That’s another blogpost!
