Bucket Babe: Kerry van Niekerk

Greetings readers, its an absolute pleasure to bring to you another instalment of this segment. The east coast of SA has given the modeling world a fare share of beauties, from the likes of Candice Boucher, LeeAnn Roberts and the world famous Victoria Secret super model Candice Swanepoel, so when out in public you'll always be turning your heads as hotties walk by. This week I was fortunate enough to bump into one at the Red Bull party and after getting to know her, I just had to feature her on the blog. The name Kerry and modeling go down well and who knows where she could be in a few years...

Kerry van Niekerk

I am a second year student in Graphic designing at Style Design College. I am 19 years old. I danced my whole life doing ballet and modern. I am an animal lover and am passionate about the saving whales and dolphins. I hope to have my own cause one day to support these beautiful creatures. In my spare time i like to paint, take photos and spend time with my friends drinking coffee or clubbing. My modelling achievements thus far include: finals for Miss uShaka 2012 and finals for Czar Model Search and am currently in the first heat of Empyre Muse. I am in the process of being signed at an agency but am trying to save up for the test shoot. In the future I hope to working as the editor of Vogue or other fashion magazines. I dream of modelling for Guess and FHM.

Bucket Babe: Terry Goodman

With the weather in SA of recent being quite drastic, from freezing cold and snow in most parts of the country last week, to scorching temperatures hitting the east coast this week. One thing is certain though, that the Bucket Babe is always hot! Featuring SA's best kept secrets, this weeks model is an absolute stunner! I met her a while back at the Playboy 1st Anniversary party in Durban and although she wasn't one of the featured models, she did turn heads, including mine!

Terry Goodman

Hailing from the little town of Mtunzini in KZN, Terry is determined to make it big in the City and from what we've seen, shes following the right path. Educated in Durban and having done many a shoot, Terry also made it as a finalist in the Miss Zag competition 2012. She may be a familiar face to many as she has been featured in many printed media as well as waited at Joe Cools and Hooters on the Rocks. Now though, you can find Terry working for Playboy Mag SA as an event coordinator and party with her at any of the official Playboy parties.

Give me Wings

Chicken Licken Hotwings with Soul Fire

AMG133: Even though life may fly past you with rapid speed, always take time to slow down and enjoy chicken wings. 

Just a random post, dedicated to the the wing that the chicken giveth. Is it just me or are chicken wings awesome? I mean really, I've eaten out many times, had many starters and in the meat variety this is by far the greatest. Yes you have to get your hands messy and there is the bone to deal with but thats just lame excuses to deny your taste buds of this great snack. Heck I think the preferred finger foods of the gods is chicken wings! Think about it, why do chickens have wings? They dont fly? Surely the soul purpose of it is to be cut off, defeathered, cleaned, dipped in batter and fried to be eaten with hot sauce?

sticky wings

 Which brings me to my next point, theres a variety of them, crispy fried served with hot sauce, grilled honey mustard and sticky bbq are favourites, but sticking to my theme of the blog, I prefer the fried variety. Why? I dont like the gooeyness (if there is such a word) of the others. Plus most of the bbq marinades vary big time between places and some if not most dont hit the nail on the head all the time. At least with the batter, its just a question of whether they're gonna burn it as the hot sauce will cover the minor taste bud speed bumps such as "less salt" etc.

My hot wings Top 5:

5. Checkers fried chicken wings - I kid you not, I was hungry, I was forced to go to this vile supermarket and in the mixture of various pieces of chicken I saw some wings, so I asked only for them. Went home and ate them with some hot sauce and bly me they were good to kill the cravings!

 

4. KFC Zinger wings- My favourite take out of all time but it doesnt make my number one spot. They tried and failed many a time with this item on their menu, often burning it or getting the recipe really wrong but it seems they have settled on one that is selling and quite frankly isnt that bad. My only gripe is that they dont have any hot sauce for it! Wings and tomato sauce is a no no!

3. Hooters- Now the American franchise has been in SA for a year or so now and the menu isnt one you'll be flipping through over and over again, being a sports bar you cant blame it. Their chicken wings are good but truth be told I expected better. They're too "generic" if I could use that term. The hot sauce on the other hand is quite good. Please note I refer to the proper wings on bone and not that boneless crap.

2. Chicken Licken- Their actual chicken maybe not such a great hit with me but thankfully these guys changed the recipe for the wings. In fact they are so popular most branches I frequent have more wings in the warmer than the actual chicken! The Soul Fire sauce is available to purchase in sachets or the bottle if you're feeling thirsty

 1. Spur- yes they average family restaurant they might be but they got something on those bad boys, fried to perfection drenched in that southern style hot sauce with extra garlic served with their "dirky sauce" (blue cheese dressing). It really does make me contemplate ordering mains from them.
