Bucket Babe: Kerryn Du Rand

It's been a long hard month but we've made it out of July alive and survived the worst of the winter! It's all downhill from now till summer, and no better way to defrost from the icy chill than with another stunner from our beautiful country. Today's feature model hails from the Kingdom of the Zulu but currently plies her trade in the Western Cape and around the world. I first met this gorgeous specimen of the human race a year ago and was taken back by her natural beauty, she's a person of many talents and loves to live life to the fullest.

Bio

I am adventurer and an eternal optimist; passionate about life and everything it has to offer. Originally from Durban, I am now based in Cape Town and am in love with every aspect of this city. I have a degree in Communications but have been lucky enough to have spent majority of my adult life making money as a model.

I am pursuing a career in Real Estate and am working as an agent for Jawitz Properties on the Atlantic Seaboard. I have lived and worked in many countries and love to travel. I spend most of my free time on the beach and love art, baking and anyone who makes me laugh. I love the simple things in life, believe in the little things and never take myself too seriously.

Q&A

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

• I love a car with character over anything too flash. An American Muscle Car would be an absolute dream.

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

• It's gonna be healthy with a touch of naughty, so like a Mexican chicken on toasted rye with grilled mozzarella, topped with avo, sour cream and chives.

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

• I die for that sweet/salty combo... I don't even buy it anymore as I have zero self control when it comes to that stuff. 

4. Dream cover shoot?

• Sports Illustrated Swimsuit International of course. 

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

• I've been down the full time model road, and while the freedom and travel is amazing, it's much harder than anyone realizes. Full time exec all the way!

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

• My incredible mama.

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

• Someone has been holding this hand (and booty) for quite some time now :)

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

• Elie Saab - those feminine silhouettes!

9. What type of music gets your booty shaking?

• I'm a rock n roll girl through and through but I do love some hip hop on the side.

10. Which city is your dream party destination?

• I'm not much of a party girl so lets say dream destination... undiscovered tropical beaches are my idea of paradise.

While the country is still recovering from the shock of last nights circus at the Presidents State of The Nation address, let us be grateful for other things concerning our beautiful country. For instance, this weeks featured model, born in Durban, raised in Johannesburg but later on moved to France but now she's back and back with a bang! This beautiful lass can now be seen around the streets of Cape Town, her blonde locks, striking features and legs that seem to go on for days are an instant attraction. She and I even share the same likes of cheese and popcorn toppings but less from me and more from her, here is...

I started modeling in 2010 when I was a finalist in a swimsuit model search but then I moved to Mauritius and stopped working until now. I also have a cashmere company called Gia Bardot that I run with my amazing mother :)

We're already 16 days down in the new year and many of us are back in the swing of things with our lives... unless you're a politician and in that case it's still Christmas. As per usual,  here on the Bucket we bring you the latest news, wicked wheels and freshest beats but we also showcase the most gorgeous woman South Africa has to offer. Over the years we've done that and in 2015 it is no different, we will search all over this beautiful land we call our country to find and interview the hottest ladies and bring right here to you on the Bucket Babe.

Although todays featured model was born in the UK, her heart is firmly set in SA and she's been up to some amazing things. We first took notice of Christna when were asked to makee a selection for our top models in the SA Swimsuit competition last year, later on we found out that her talent for looking drop dead gorgeous in front of the camera wasn't her only one as she is an avid Singer. She performs in most of Joburgs trendiest night clubs as she performs covers for the latest house and dance anthems. So be on the lookout for her name the next time you want to go out on the night to party in Jozi.

Q&A

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

• Well, when I was younger I stole my brothers poster of a yellow Lamborghini Diablo and stuck it on my bedroom door.

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

• After being slightly offended by your request, I'd take my shoes off to enter the kitchen and make you a toasted cheese ;)

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

• Salt! Plain old salt.

4. understand that you're also quite a good singer, which genre in particular do you sing?

• I perform regularly in the Jozi night clubs, Taboo, The VIP Room, Kong, to name a few. So I perform all the dance/ house songs.

5. What type of music gets your booty shaking?

• I go mental for anything old school. Old school UK Garage like Artful Dodger, old school house. Albums like Head Kandi or Ministry of Sound Anthems. Doesn't get better than that.

6. If given a choice, full time model or full time singer, what would you choose?

• I would take singer as modelling would come with it. Best of both.

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

• I am in a relationship and sometimes he even holds both hands.

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

• Nowadays we grow up with information overload, stories of people who have come out on top despite all the odds, do-gooders, etc. I tend to hear different stories from different people and take what I can from each person, so I wouldn't say one person in particular.

9. As South Africans, we love our sports, whats your favourite one to watch?

• I do like rugby, but I was born in the UK and have three brothers, soccer is a biggy..

10. Which city is your dream party destination?

• If anyone doesn't answer with "Ibiza" there's something wrong with them.

It's spring time in South Africa's, that means more greenery, more sunshine and less of the cold weather chills. That in turn translates into packing away the winter clothing and out with the skirts and bikini's! Today's featured girl is definitely a fan of swimwear as she made us patiently wait a good few months so that we could feature her new shoot, yup this is an exclusive. She's driven by passion, prefers two wheels over four and likes to keep things simple and chilled. She's your typical South African hot girl next door with a passion for kids.

I am a very ambitious and out-spoken person. I’m extremely strong willed and once I’ve decided on something it will take a lot to get me off track. I have very diverse ambitions, I have a passion for kids and will always fight for their rights, but besides that I have a great love for pole dancing(pole fitness), modelling, acting and singing.

I am a family person and would much rather have a braai at home than hang out in a club. I like long drives, love high heels, crazy about the colour blue and I’m addicted to chocolates.

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.
