I am very excited to be involved with the Society And Lifestyle brand. When I sat down to write this intro, I thought that i would write about what I think qualifies me to write about Lifestyle....
An hour later, I am still sitting here with a blank screen staring at me.
I have no idea what qualifies me. I am not "cool". I am not hip and happening. And i certainly am not part of the trendy bunch who are the shock waves that is in front of the cutting edge. Hell, I don't even own a single Apple product.
The only reason I can think of, why i was roped in to write for this brand is that, I tell it like it is. And my honesty and the brutal manner in which i dish it out means that my readers know that i will never suck up. If i dislike something, I will say it is rubbish. And if i wax lyrical about something, it is because i genuinely liked it.
So, long story short, I think i was pulled in to write this because of my honesty and non-conformity. You need only look at me and my wardrobe to realise that i really couldn't be bothered by what is trendy. I would certainly never go to ZAR and order 5o year old Scotch at R15 000 a tot, or R450 000 for the whole bottle. Hell, you wouldn't catch me at ZAR at all. I was there once, to watch a friend perform live. And i seriously walked out thinking "A fool and his money are soon parted.." Because I REALLY didn't get the big fuss.
Don't get me wrong; I know that sometimes quality comes at a price. And that is an indisputable fact. But I also believe that sometimes people assume that high price equals good quality. Let us go back to whiskey. I, for one, actually enjoy Johnny Walker Black more than I do Green, or Gold, or indeed Blue. When you consider that there is a R1000 difference between Black and Blue, you will realize that I am TRULY not bothered by list price, but rather by whether I am enjoying an experience or not.
So, here we are...I will be writing a feature on Lifestyle, and really I will stick to things that I love and am passionate about. Food, music, movies, cars, restaurants...if only i could add sex to the equation, that would pretty much cover ALL my interests. Look, if i am asked to write about anything, or to give my opinion on something, i will gladly do so. I will try and keep it light and informative, rather than bore you with a lot of theory and statistics. And I will keep it brief. I hate long winded articles that keeps the reader engrossed in the first half and has the reader BEGGING for it to end because the writer is going on and on.
While on the subject of keeping it brief...that's my cue to sign off. Please enjoy the reading.

Tell it like it is bro and I agree with u, some ish are just to over priced and people get roped in for the sake of swag. I saw a cousin of mine at a wedding I attended a few weeks ago. She looked so fly and sexy and trendy and stylish. She was the centre of attraction, when I got down to "dissecting" her outfit, only her shoes were up to R500, the dress was a mere R189.00 at Fashion world and accessories were from Mr. Price. In my opinion and almost everyone else who was there,she had more swag than the chicks who had Guess,Polo and LV's.
