Burning Man 2014

Many of the modern day festival goers talk about Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival or Electric Daisy Carnival as some of the best they've experienced but theres one that only those that attend know of how great it is. 

Burning Man festival in the USA has been in existence since 1986 and is a week long event that is held yearly in the Black Rock Desert in Navada. It attracts all sorts of people, the weird to the rebel and if you're lucky you may just spot some Victoria Secret Models as our very own Candice Swanepoel has attended the past two years.

The event is described as an experiment of community, art, self experission and music. Some of the structures put up are amazing to see but when the festival culminates, all burns to the ground with it. It's truly one of the most amazing things you will witness if you do attend but it's only for the daring. 

One week in the dry, hot and dusty outlands of Nevada with no sign of civilization for 100's of kilometeres isn't for everyone but the event has proven to be quick a success with them having to cap the attendence to 50,000 due to safety reasons. Today's Monday choon isn't a song but a video by dutch DJ Sander van Doorn capturing some of his moments at this years event.

Just Candice

There's no denying that the lass that hails from Mooi River is one of the hottest assets in fashion at the moment and Victoria Secret is taking full advantage of this. In their August 2013 line, she featured prominently amongst the other Angels and why shouldn't she? Here are some of the pictures from the shoot.

Bucket Babe Special: Candice Swanepoel

She really needs no introduction as she is undoubtably SA's hottest export! The girl from Mooi River in KZN who is now living the super model life in NYC has been pretty busy of late, besides getting ready for Victoria Secrets fashion show, she also took the time to do a Halloween shoot. Now she didnt opt for the gruesome, horror, zombie stuff but rather sexy stuff! Enjoy.

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.

FHM Friday - 10

The List

Today brings an end to to what has been a memorable 10 weeks on the bucket. Showcasing some of SA's most beautiful and gorgeous woman, in the hope to land them instant stardom for the coveted title as the sexiest woman in the world. It has been a pleasure and an honor for the Bucket to get first hand approval from these ladies to feature them on the blog. The feature maybe be over but due to the major popularity of this segment , we might have something up our sleeves in the coming weeks so watch this space.

Favourite: Candice Swanepoel

Mooi Rivers most famous export for many decades has been its butter but thats until this lass burst onto the scene. Spotted at the Durban beachfront flea market by international caster's, Candice to say the least hit the modelling world with a bang, so much so Victoria Secrets signed her up and gave her angel wings before she turned 20! Its just been getting better and better for the blonde stunner as she gets more and more international acclaim from her Vic Secrets shoots. Most recently being the stand out model in their winter collection. Its not only lingerie that KZN beauty models (not that we mind) but she also loves showing her curves on the beach with ultra-sexy bikini’s. Some may argue that shes too thin but I may argue with them to STFU. She is no doubt SA's hottest modelling export and deserves the credit she gets.

Underdog: Jessica Leandra

The winner of FHM models 2011 needs no introduction and as was proved by previous pick Charne Jade last year they do have a major impact on the standings. The adventurous, knowledgeable and drop dead beautiful Jessica has achieved a lot in the past years, being Miss April (my birthday month!) for the Breast awareness calendar being one of them and also making it into the finals for ‘Model hunt international’ and ‘cover search’. Being the kind down to earth person who’s focused on her goals, she is enroute for a bright future and she’ll have all of our back for it.

Legend: Nicola Breytenbach

Legend is the apt term for the Durban born beauty, as she is one in the modelling world. Once the star of Europe’s cat walks as the runways of Milan, Paris, London, she then moved on to bigger better avenues when she joined Trump models in New where she modelled for New York for designers Chanel, Galliano and Dior. Brushing shoulders with Hollywood celebs and being in most A list social gatherings Nicola’s seen it all and partied with them all. Happily married now and already given birth I still think she has what it takes to make the list.
