Bucket Babe: Taryn Morris

We always said that we have some of the most beautiful women in the world right here in our country and that's one of the main reasons this segment was created, to feature them. Today's gorgeous model hails from the Cape and is fresh off competing for the Miss SA crown, she was a fiinalist in the 2015 pageant and that's where we spotted and fell in love with her beauty and her personality. Unfortunately she didn't take the grand prize and crown but won our hearts of many. She's a lady of many talents with a soft spot for animals, she keeps things simple in the kitchen but we love it that way, here she is to tell you more.

Bio

I graduated with Bcom Marketing and then went on to pursue my passion for fashion. I now work for a fashion distribution company, running their digital marketing and am also involved in sales and PR. I recently competed in the Miss South Africa pageant where I succeeded as a finalist. I am now taking modelling more seriously and I just joined Ice Genetics, my absolute dream one day, would to be a Guess Girl in one of the Guess campaigns. In my spare time I love going for long walks with my dogs on the promenade, I'm also a typical Cape Tonian and absolutely love the beach. I am now in the process of starting my own styling company where I focus on personal and corporate styling as well as showing young girls how to dress appropriately for their body type. The social issue I am most passionate about is anti animal cruelty and I work closely with an organisation called DARG which stands for Domestic Animal Rescue Group, the focus on the rehabilitation and re homing of animals that come from a disadvantaged background.

Bucket Babe: Mishka Patel

There's just something about the month of April that just makes it special, it could be all the long weekends, or that is has 30 days, or that it's my birthday month, actually is mostly has to do with the fact that it's my birthday month! So in honor of this I also decided to go out and find an up and coming star whom also is born in this epic month. It wasn't very difficult as I've known this month's featured model for a while now through social media and witnessed the great things she has achieved so far and the endless possibilities that awaits her. Her tall slim physique is enough to make any man weak in the knees and her infectious smile would get even the toughest person grinning. She's already has an impressive CV, and at such a young age you can only see her destined for success.

Bucket Babe: Wham! Bam! Thank You Ma'am!

The votes were cast, counted and last week the winner was revealed. The annual quest to find the sexiest woman in the world is always a major draw card for FHM and this year was no different. Thousands of votes were cast for beauties from local and international shores but it was great to see that for the second year in a row a local lass taking the title. It was none other than former Miss South Africa Melinda Bam! The 24 year beauty from Pretoria takes over the reigns from another blonde bombshell, Genevieve Morton as the sexiest woman in the world. Massive congratulations to her from us at the Bucket, here are some pics to prove that she got what it takes to own that title.
