BIO

Hi there! I am a fun loving, adventurous and outgoing person. I was born in Melkbosstrand and went to boarding school in the Paarl when I was 14, it was hard to live far from home. I just completed my schooling career this year and my plans for the next year are to put all my attention into my modeling, make up and photography. I started modeling at the age of 16 and everyday since I learn a little more about my job and absolutely love it! I am a very passionate person with lots of interests, I love the beach, summer and just being surrounded by my loved ones.

Bucket Babe: Kelly Roux

With Summer on the way, making things hot up around the country, we decided to heat things up on the blog as well. On the Bucket Babe for this month, we feature local model who is a budding adventure junkie and has a passion for medical science, it's a unique combination but that is what makes her so great! Currently studying her second degree and hoping to specialise thereafter, she also finds time in her busy schedule to train and occasionally get behind the camera and for that we are greateful. While she might not be great in the kitchen, she does share the same passion for cars and motor sport as us so we'll ignore that part, and settle to have popcorn everyday. Well that's enough blabbing from me, meet...

Kelly Roux

BIO

Hi there! My name is Kelly Roux, I am a bubbly, fun-loving, adventure-seeking young woman who loves to keep fit, healthy and constantly on-the-go. I am hard working, fiery with a zest for life and a true Aries nature. I am currently a student at WITS, completing my second degree in Medicine (with my first degree being a BHSc Bio-kinetics), as well as being a part-time published model (when time allows!). I absolutely love keeping active, so you'll find me in the gym most days of the week, or when I have a gap, going for a quick walk with my dogs or run around the block. I also love hiking and the outdoors, so count me on any outdoor related activity! I also love anything car and motor sport related, so when I'm not studying, modelling or running around doing some or another physically exertive activity, you;ll most likely find me at a car event.

My goals for the future career wise is to specialize after I complete my degree, possibly into (and don't laugh since they're vastly different) either Plastic Surgery or Neurosurgery. As different as they are, they each have their own unique attractions and interests to them, so we will see what the future holds in store for me (once I eventually finish studying!) I can't wait to be able to help so many people, and hopefully change so many lives for the better. Being a doctor has been my dream since I was 12 years old, and I feel incredibly blessed to be given the opportunity to become one. I'm actually such a nerd at heart, but I love it. 

Accomplishments: I achieved the Sportswoman of the Year award in school, competing at Provincial and First Team varsity hockey; graduated with 8 distinctions in matic and Cum Laude in my first degree, being on the Dean's list as well as part of The Golden Key International Honour Society. I am so blessed to be a brand ambassador for Online Supplement Store, Tammy Taylor Nails Petervale, Adele Peacock Nails and Marc Dryden-Schofield Exclusive Models. God has really blessed me in life, and I really owe it to Him for all that I have accomplished.

Q&A

1. Hot girls and hot cars go hand in hand, what ride would you like to  see yourself in?

• Phew! There are so many cars on my list to be honest (BMW M3, Mclaren, Nissan GTR, the works), but at the end of the day, my ultimate goal is to buy myself a Bentley Continental GT, in either pearl white or satin black.

2. What sandwich are you most likely to make for me? and will it be toasted or plain?

• I'll be honest, I'm not too good in the kitchen, so it's probably safer for you to make your own sandwich (equality right?), otherwise instead of toasted or plain it might just be burnt!

3. Everyone loves popcorn (well I think they do) what is your topping/ sprinkle of choice?

• I loooove popcorn, I swear I have it almost every day (no lies). I would have to say Cream Cheese and Chives. Mmmm.

4. Dream cover shoot?

•  It would either be Women's Health Magazine, Vogue (I wish) and GQ to name a few off the top of my head.

5. If given a choice, full time model or full time executive, what would you choose?

• I would choose full time executive. As much as I love modelling, I need to keep my mind constantly stimulated and challenged otherwise I end up getting bored and frustrated.As much as I've been blessed with modelling, I've never viewed it as my ultimate end career choice. I definitely think the two can go hand-in-hand (if not, why not?), so I intend to carry on with my modelling throughout my career if I can.the goal.

6. Growing up you must have had someone you aspired to be, so who is your role model?

• I've had many different role models at many stages of my life, each being a role model for different aspects , but I would say that for the majority of my life I've always looked up to my mom for staying true to herself no matter what, for always being so fun-loving, adventurous, confident and sure of herself. She's taught me many important lessons about respect, forgiveness and love for yourself and for others, and those are the values I try and uphold every day.

7. Anyone holding that hand yet? or is it available?

• This little hand of mine is happily held by a bigger hand, sorry gents.

8. Obviously being a female you would love fashion. Favourite label/ designer?

• I actually giggled when I saw this question and wondered how I was going to answer it because fashion isn't actually a huge aspect of my life, if I were to be honest with you. I think my sportiness shines through in what I tend to wear, and I don't really mind where it's from, or who the designer is (if it's even designer at all), as long as it fits me well and looks relatively good. I probably should care more about it, but that's just me!.

9. What type of music gets your booty shaking?

• oh my goodness, I love anything with a great beat! I love music, I try have it playing whenever I can, and I love going out just to dance.

10. Which city is your dream party destination?

• I am dying to go to Ibiza or Cancun- those are two definitely on my bucket list for sure!

Bucket Babe: Alessya Brookes

It's almost the end of September, before people start repeating that lame joke about waking up Greenday, let's end off the final week in style with another drop dead gorgeous beauty that resides on the southern side of Africa. Today's featured beauty first caught my eye when she did a shoot for our good friends Locally Whipped Magazine in Johannesburg, since then she's just catapulted in the industry with her biggest achievement to date being Miss June Playmate for Playboy SA. I am going to be honest, it was the first time I paid to download the mag, just to see her shoot and boy was it worth it! She's mesmerizing in every angle she's photographed and you wouldn't believe it if I told you she's a mom! She has a really good singing voice (if this instagram video is anything to go by) and she has been craving her MANwich, which you'll find about further down, I know you can't wait to meet her, so here she is!

Bio

I grew up in Botswana where I was privileged to enjoy a sun-drenched, free-spirited childhood which I believe shaped me into who I am today. I simply love being outdoors, surrounded by nature (and in a bikini where possible). I was raised amongst humble, down to earth people and today I choose only to surround myself with people of that nature. The only thing I turn down is my collar!

My greatest life accomplishment is my beautiful daughter. She keeps me young and connected to the simplicity of childhood. I have been modelling for about a year now and have been incredibly lucky with the opportunities which have come my way during this short period. This year I have been featured in various online SA magazines (Locally Whipped, My City By Night, Sexy South African Hunnies) and I was Playboy SA's June 2015 playmate. I was also chosen as one of fourteen SA girls to appear in the international Liqui Moly 2016 calendar. Modelling was never something that I imagined myself being involved with so I'm really just enjoying each and every opportunity that comes my way and counting my blessings as I go.

Bucket Babe: Anika Laubscher

It's almost the end of August and summer is getting ever so closer for us in South Africa, but its time to turn up the heat with this months bucket babe as we go off shore to find this local lass doing great things in Europe. Our featured model has lived in a number of countries on our beautiful continent and has now relocated to Europe to show them a thing or two, she's currently studying but has been in the modelling world for a while now and I can honestly say she is another one of our hot exports. She's been flying relatively low under the radar but we've managed to track her down on instagram and boy is it a must to follow! Her friendly nature is just one of the characteristics that adds to her charm and after reading what sandwich she would make for me, I almost went down on one knee. We'd like to wish her all the best for whatever life has in store for, hopefully it is big things and maybe one day we would get to share that sandwich. ;)

Bio

Growing up I lived in 3 different African countries, South Africa (where I was born), Tanzania and Namibia until I decied to take on Europe for good. I packed up my bags, kissed family and friends goodbye and now I live in the beautiful region of Marche, Italy...studying and collecting memories wherever life lets me go. (I'll go anywhere, why stay in one place? ;)

I love unplanned adventures, proving fortune cookies (and people) wrong and the company of eccentric people.

 I try not to break my head on the future so much anymore, the present is pretty awesome if you know how to live it.
