Bucket Babe: Kerry-Lee Cousins

South Afrrica is currently in the midst of winter with most of the country experiencing near freezing temperatures, what better way to warm you up than one of SA's hottest young talents? Today's model hails from Cape Town and as you will find out, she's pretty keen on sports and probably the only lady in the world that understands the off side rule in football, since the sport is so dear to her, just a pity about the team she supports. Anyway, here she is to tell you more!

Hi ;) My name is Kerry-Lee Cousins, I'm 23 and live in the beautiful city of Cape Town. I'm a PA as well as a model. I love to be happy and busy and always apart of the fun. I'm nomrally quite a joker when it comes to my friends but at first when you meet me, I'm quite shy :) I'm sporty and have grown up with my dad being a football coach so I know quite a bit about football than the norm :) I am a huge Arsenal supporter. I also play action netball in the week and gym as often as possiible

I've always been one to work hard and strive for things even when they seem impossible. My goal  for the future is to do well in my modelling as well as get more involved with an events company as that's someting I've always been interested in.

Bucket Babe: Malca Louw

The Football World Cup kicked off last night in Brazil and along with great sporting action we can look forward to some beautiful sights in the crowd as the South America's are home to some of the worlds most beautiful woman but coming back to our continent, we also have our fair share of stunning ladies that would get heads turning, jaws dropping and tongues wagging. Today's featured model is from the green coasts of KZN. not only has she's been modelling for a good few years, shes also a qualified MUA, has a voice of an angel and wants to cook me a three course meal! How can you not love her?

Bio

My name is Malca Louw, I am a young, adventurous and easily inspired 20 year old currently studying my 3rd year of a Corporate Communications Degree. I have a strong passion for photographic modelling as I believe it is a form of acting and that every photo tells a story.

I have been modelling for many years and I really hope to pursue it as a career. However, apart from my passion for modelling, I absolutely love to sing (and NO... not just i the shower!). I toured Europe when I was younger to sing in the most beautiful of cathedrals and I am certain I left my heart there- which is why I am adamant to return and fetch it one day. I am also very interested in all the girly stuff ;) like make up and aesthetics, which is why I am now also a a qualified Make up artist.

Q&A

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

• The Bentley Continental... No doubt about it... unless a BatMobile is up for grabs ;)

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

• A sandwich?  Really? Honey... don't degrade my cooking like that! I'll whip you up a 3 course meal, Masterchef style ;) 

3. What type of music gets your booty shaking?

• Who needs music? I'm ALWAYS dancing! :) but if I HAD to choose- probably 80's and 90's hits! You don't get any better. 

4. Dream cover shoot?

• Vogue,  need I say more?

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

• Both... I'm a pretty good multi tasker ;) okay but on a serious note... Full time executive... Modelling is fantastic and I would love to pursue it full time, however, it has a shelf life and I believe I have a lot to offer in the corporate world, as well as well as in the modelling industry.

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

• Salt and Vinegar WITH Astros!!! It is out of this world!

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

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

• I do... however, I believe fashion is only temporary, STYLE, on the other hand is FOREVER.

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

• It's unavailable, I'm happy to say I am currently dating an incredible man who has been by my side through every step of the way..

Bio

So, I am from Namibia originally, Windhoek. I have a huge love for animals, especially horses. I live very active , love exercise and have recently turned into a complete health nut. I love the ocean, and always wanted to be a mermaid when I grow up :P hahaha. I love food and cooking, and consider myself a real foodie. I don't have a degree like most people do, only because I refuse to have one. I believe that I just do what makes me happy and it will never be a job or work to me, and what makes me happy changes too often, to be studying for years on end for something you might never use. I'm still happy :) From this year on I will be travelling more and more often and I am so grateful to be able to do that. I've recently decided on a motto that pretty much sums up my newest outlook on life: "IT is not always about discovering new places, but to see the world with new eyes"

I love "the little things" in life and most people that know me very well knows that. I never plan to far ahead of think about the future too much as I'm a very "present-tense" person. I would have a goal just to help me work hard in the present but it never stays completely the same. Otherwise I would to walk on the runway of Victoria's Secret, but that is every female model's dream, hahaha! So it helps you to work hard anyway and it is then when all the right things and people come your way. I believe good stuff just happens to me if I don't wait around looking for it. So I've recently also met the most amazing person like that, very unexpected and he makes me happy.

My number one goal is finding true happiness and you'll be surprised in what forms it really comes and in what unexpected places you find them. Just always be open to everything, it is so important and only AFTER being open you can decide if something makes you happy or not. Be humble and never judge. Don't ever ever ever judge.
