From Milkshake to Champers...

I just turned 17 when I performed in my first professional Theatre production, and a 1st year varsity student. I thought work was play. Literally. I remember drinking milkshakes, and fighting with my department at Drama School to let me perform in Cape Town while the other kids were competing for marks in student productions. I admired Marc Lottering then. A lot.

Last night I saw the David Kramer musical, "Some like it Vrot"- it features Marc Lottering and Christo Davids in the lead roles of Smiley and Fuad, characters created by Lottering in his stand-up routines.

A must see. I was totally inspired, overwhelmed, excited and so proud.....Gonna drink a strawberry milkshake later....Just wanna feel 17 again!

Some like it Vrot is at the Baxter theatre until 14 January.

My detox says...no Coffee

...I got a book for Christmas. I don't celebrate most of the holidays, so it was a nice treat. " You are what you eat" reads the title. I should have guessed this is what I would get from the one friend who eats carrots for sweets... It's a great book after all. I opened it 2 days ago. And realized that most of my tweets are about my food...I have a problem! According to the "detox"..coffee is bad for us. Grrrr.

I made a coffee this morning. A very yum one. Black. Strong. Happy. From a kick-ass machine that could talk if you let it. I sipped on it slowly while watching my parents open their Christmas gifts. Then my dad asked me, " Do I look like Elana Afrika's dad"? Stroking his fine suit. "Yes" I replied.

We smiled.

I don't need a detox today. I needed to hear that I belong. This coffee is getting better and better.

Merry Christmas if your celebrating. Chag Sameach friends. X
