iDale

Have you ever had those nights where you struggle to get to bed, and once you eventually do, you find yourself waking up again at 4am fresh as a daisy with no idea what to do with yourself? – that was me on Thursday.

Now, combine that with an equally intense week and you’ve got a formula for one tired man – that’s why my weekend started off really slowly with a solid rest…

Bailey knows a thing or two bout good sleepin'

Once I rose from the dead on Saturday morning, I received a much anticipated package in the post…

iDale - an official Wondebra scout - with cards to prove it.

I got those babies sent to me by registering on the Wonderbra web site – and just in time considering there is less than a week left to scout the next Wonderbra girl!

Beer, wine, sangria, champagne

After all the excitement wore off I got ready for a friends engagement. As you can see above there was plenty going round at the party. The hubbly bubblies were a nice touch and everyone enjoyed puffing on them throughout the evening. Then I found this pearler in the bathroom and had to show you…

Couldn't agree more

On Sunday I did something I haven’t done in ages – read a You Magazine. I honestly can’t remember the last time I flipped through SA’s best general interest mag. But like riding a bicycle, it all came back to me – I knew exactly where all the good bits were: horoscopes, celebrity gossip, crosswords and the cheesy poster in the centre.

Can you say scandal?

Much like all the shopping centers in JHB, the magazine was also scattered with Christmas fever. So I headed to Woolworths in the Design Quarter to find myself another picture frame – I think I’ve become slightly obsessed with this whole picture frame collage wall. I’ve now got 19 frames up on the wall, the latest being this fine specimen that was on special…

In a good frame of mind

As I’m sure you were able to predict, Sunday evening I lit a fire and made myself a braai. This time I did a lemon & herb chicken using the indirect cooking method – that means I made two small fires on either side in the Weber. Then I placed the chicken in the centre, closed the lid and waited 45 minutes for perfection!

A great weekend once again with a great week ahead on the cards…

Over the past several weeks we’ve been peddling our very own Wonderbra giveaway on iDale. Sadly it’s come to an end, but thirteen lucky people took home awesome prizes valued at over R6000.

Three of them won vouchers to get themselves some Wonderbra gear – perfect for and just in time to enter the Wonderbra Model Search!

Don’t fret just yet – you still have a week to get into the draw (if you’re a girl who’s worthy or a guy who knows someone worthy).

Stop wasting time… www.wonderbra.co.za

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been running a Meerlust Wine and Wonderbra competition (over here). The prizes, valued at over R6000, were great – so it’s no wonder the entries have been flooding in via email and twitter every single day.

In the studio: Sasha, Kim & Lauren

I sought out the help of Sasha Martinengo & Kim Schultze from 5fm to help me do the draw – think of him as a crazy Italian auditor armed with a microphone and a blonde sidekick. And a Wonderbra…

Testing out the goods

Although Sasha seems to fit well into a C-cup and knows his way around a bra strap, I’ve gotta say he’s gonna have to earn back some of my respect for hating on my love for Apple products – the guy uses some girlie red craptop for goodness sake – come on Sasha!

After all the banter, we got down to business and filled his wife’s new bra with the entries…

Serious business

And first place goes to…

Adrian Frost – a guy. Yes, a guy.

Adrian takes home a R1200 Wonderbra voucher along with 3 bottles of Meerlust Chardonnay, 3 bottles of Meerlust Merlot and a Square Forest. That ought to set the mood for one very lucky lady out there. Well done!

As for the rest…

I think it would be best if you visit the competition page and see ALL the winners for yourself in one place. Click here to see the winners.

I must admit that in the end I gave in – I let Sasha have a photo with Lauren and I. He twisted my arm! What was I supposed to do?

And that’s a wrap!

The 1941 Patent

The Wonderbra is, for good reason, hailed by many men and women as the eighth “wonder” of the world.

I’m not going to get all science on you, but the real secret to dramatic cleavage (which is roughly half a century old) is some simple precision engineering: three-part cup construction, precision-angled back and under-wire cups, removable pads called cookies, “gate back” back design for support, and rigid straps.

Thanks to these technological advances we’re able to celebrate this sort of thing…

Her breasts and career were given a push!

The original Wonderbra Girl campaign catapulted the career of Eva Hertzigova into the international stratosphere and all the subsequent local Wonderbra girls have been honored to be associated with the brand – you could be too, just read on…

It is wonderful companies like Wonderbra that we need to thank on days like this. In fact I’ll tip my hat at any company that encourages woman to bear a little extra for a good cause!

The cause…

…uhhh, it’s…

What were we talking about? Oh yes…

…the cause! Breast cancer! And to show your support for it, visit the Wonderbra web site.
