From comrades, wannabees to rampant students

Seems wishes do come true. After weeks of being plagued by a party drought, a party shower finally arrived on Bloem. You’ve gotta love month-end. Your Queen was spoiled for choice with party invites coming at her from left, right, and centre.
The entertaining week kicked off with real panache at the premier of Unbreakable Thread at the Sand du Plessis Theatre. The comrades came in numbers and it felt a bit like a struggle reunion.
MECs Dukwana and Qabathe, as well as High Court judge Jerome Basil were in high spirits, while William Maspala made himself at home at the open bar

.
Comrade Thembeni might not be rolling in moolah like he used to, but he still got the magic touch with the girls. They call him Big Papa…
Bra Zeb from Isidingo was roaming around like a lovestruck puppy with a backpack. And he looks so skinny in person. Guess television really does add ten pounds (or is it kilograms?)
Assistant director Tebogo Maboa makes such a cute sugar daddy. He can make your Queen his side dish anytime.
A big thank you to Pacofs for taking care of royalty. The booze was flowing like the Orange River after summer rains. Your Queen couldn’t stay too long after the brilliant play ended as her royal presence was needed elsewhere.
Students oozed from every crack in the pavement in Westdene, armed with pseudo-intellectual jibber jabber and daddy’s credit card.
Upon arrival at Barbas, your Queen was welcomed by one of Masheleng’s ‘jumping jack’ dancers, Danger. He looked somewhat out of place. But it was nice to see he took our advice and gave the red briefs a break. I almost called Avbob myself, phela having to listen to him telling me about his singing career…
Facebook football coach Bo Baleng also came to party with his entourage looking bubbly
as always. Your Queen is all for local is lekker, maar what was up with the random hip-hop group on stage? They were just jumping around and making a whole lotta noise. Call me stuck up, but I’m not so receptive to artists who sound like they’re chanting when they should be rapping.

Come on guys, let’s be realistic. There will be no Bloemfontein answer to Jack Parow. You’re not going to be cooler than him. Hos, ja.
Another big dooh that brought all of Bloemfontein’s gorgeous creatures out of their shells was the regional final of the Hansa Festival of Legends concert. One lucky performer will share the stage with R‘n’B legend Usher when he comes to SA later this year.


Coobah Preller Walk was packed, but Your Queen is not sure if the Bloemistas came to see the talent or drink the R10 Hansas… Hip-hop group Teargas need to get off their high horses and start
wearing clothes that actually fit them. And the icy treatment you gave my royal subjects was really uncalled for. You guys can learn a thing or two from fellow judge, Thabiso Khati. He was such a charmer. Hloni from Alahyen: Hun, we know it’s January and money is a bit short, but it’s still no excuse to come dressed like that to an event. Can we please leave soccer jerseys for the stadium?
The same applies for Vaal runner-up Manyofonyofo and his “speedytowel” who must have cried themselves to sleep for not making it to the finals, especially after the dramatic performance he delivered.
Thank goodness for Big Size and miss lovely lady Dudu for salvaging us from Mr. Towel’s dramatic drivel and serenading us properly. They can teach aspiring musos a thing or two.
Kovsie FM’s Bayo looked super phly in a short pink little number. It’s just a pity that she is under the impression your Queen wants her head on the block. Stop taking life so seriously, Hun. For what it’s worth, I think you’re a cool lady. Poor thing begged your Queen to be merciful. Do you have any idea how much you’re adored?
Inseparable twins Pakiso and Bo should be crucified for letting their buddy Howza believe that he was the ish. Tight clothes on a chubby brother are a definite fashion no-no. Your Queen can’t stand it when bad fashion happens to good people. Poor thing looked like YFM’s Bujy. Le wena howza, you must invest in a mirror…
Property 2000’s Karabo was such a breath of fresh air, blessing us with his presence. Queen G didn’t know that you’re a party scene type of guy. Quick question: Are you still single? Your Queen needs a king from time to time.
With students still oozing from every crack, the weekend winded up with the usual Rag procession and after-party. Some of the floats looked like a scene from the mind of Hunter S. Thompson. Hope they didn’t give the kiddies nightmares.
The youngsters really came out to play at the party. Black Coffee was rocking the joint with a wickedly long set – almost two hours! And Die Heuwels Fantasties really lived up to their name. Your Queen believes they might have inspired the students to go do fantastic things in the hills (Naval Hill) afterwards.
Enough gossiping for one day. I need to go and call DJ Slique to find out what happened to Zahara’s performance…
