Beyonce and hubby Jay-Z reportedly dropped into St. Tropez for a walk along the beach, with Beyonce wearing three prints – in one ensemble. Look very carefully ladies. This is how NOT to wear prints. Not only do the patterns clash, but the cut of the high-waisted shorts is terribly unforgiving for anyone with curves. And just in case you weren’t cringing already, B added a safari-come-grrrr bag to the mix.

Don’t worry B, it’s not you, it’s the shorts!

Ooooh… what do you think of B’s look?

“Bikinis, legs and cleavage! I can’t emphasise that any further,” says engineering student Claudio Fario. “The lesser the better – that’s my biggest turn on for spring.” If you plan on heading down to the beach then this one’s for you. No matter how big or small you are, a combination of a sexy bikini and a confident attitude will create massive amounts of sex appeal.

The same goes for the guys – so what if your six pack is looking more like a braai pack? Nothing says macho-hot than a self-assured man in nothing but his shorts. Be sure to get the right fitting size though, we really don’t want your clammies looking more like man leggings. “Sometimes, it’s ok for guys to let all hang,” giggles Masechaba Mbethe from the UJ Arts Centre. “Go ahead and rock those loose, low lying shorts, boys!”

Get into your feel good for spring but please by all means make sure the outfits suit both your personality and style. Go crazy and don’t hold back – like the saying goes – ‘If you feel good about yourself you look good to others’.

Calling all young entrepreneurs – entries are open for this year’s Global Student Entrepreneurship Awards (GSEA), brought to you by the Entrepreneurs’ Organisation (EO).

A leading world-wide competition for undergraduate students, the GSEA inspire students to adopt entrepreneurial endeavors by bringing global visibility to student business owners who are innovative, profitable and socially responsible. Now in its 12th year, the GSEA has honoured outstanding undergraduates who juggle their studies and run their own businesses at the same time. “The goal of the GSEA is to build tomorrow’s leaders today. We offer them a network of professional advisors to support and guide them in growing an efficient business during and after college,” said Dean Lindal, vice president at EO Global.

Last year, South African Obedient Tshabalala represented Africa at the finals, held in the USA. “When I got a call from the EO in Canada, I became numb and I couldn’t carry the excitement within me, all I could do was to thank God, and scream,” says Obedient. With help from EO and Student Village, he was granted a visa for the trip. “We had sessions there to connect with various entrepreneurs in the world. Some owned more that 20 companies while some were making billions in a year.  It was great that all of them were willing to support student entrepreneurs,” he says.
“It was an unforgettable experience that helped improve my business model. I am now part of a prestigious community, the EO.”

To take part this year go to www.gsea.org/nominate. The closing date for entries is 1 October 2010.

It’s about celebrating the spirit of rebellion and originality. In partnership with popular radio station, 5FM and TV channels VuzuTV and Channel O, Converse will be going live with exciting on-air competitions that’ll definitely kick this campaign into another gear. The brand has also partnered with South Africa’s hottest pop culture magazine, One Small Seed. These partnerships cement the brand’s position as an advocate and catalyst for creativity. The campaign is designed to spark the next level of creativity.

It’s about what we do today that impacts the world in a positive way; getting Optimistic Rebels to go out there and do something to not only express themselves, but to also change their world for the better. Other than the en-vogue, über-cool social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and Youtube, entrants can use Converse’s own dedicated website to spread the word.

They just need to let their mouse wander to www.optimisticrebels.co.za or click -through their mobile phones to m.optimisticrebels.co.za and upload 2-minute videos about how they make a difference in the world – to be considered for the fantastic cash prizes, PlayStation Portable consoles and cool Converse hampers. HIT THE ROAD WITH CONVERSE The streets are already buzzing about the brands’ national tour of South Africa. Converse devotees should look out as the brand hits the streets, malls and campuses with a LARGER THAN LIFE Converse Chuck Taylor – that is going to be the canvas for all Optimistic Rebels to spread their world-changing messages. This is where they get to write the cause that they feel passionate about. Writing a letter to their future selves.

The campaign culminates with all submitted entries being evaluated by a panel of judges and Converse making their dreams come true. The categories to be covered are: • Music & Dance • Art • Comedy • Life • Learn Winners will be presented with their prize at the final event in Johannesburg. The event will also be the grand showcase of all winners’ work . It is here that the revellers will be introduced to 5 new faces of Converse.

What’s refreshing is that the brand has consciously stayed away from big name artists and given the platform to soon-to-be-discovered talent. So, look out for: • Thabiso Lekuba – Music & Dance • Phaswane ‘Pass’ Motshana – Comedy • Sipho Lundonga – Hip Hop Beatboxer • Jacky Kwan Tai Ho – Parkour • Dave Curio – Graffiti artist THE LIFE OF THE PARTY Of course Converse is known the world over for hosting the best parties.

So, here’s a taste of what’s to come. There will be flash parties at very unexpected, underground venues throughout the country where South Africa’s best national and local DJs will be pumping the revellers with hot House, Hip Hop and other underground sounds all night long. South Africa’s fashion and nightlife elite will be there. The world is changing.
