Calling all Dancers / Models



The Royal Talent Search 2013 is underway, and the search for dancers and models, with immense confidence and talent will take place on May 25, 2013 in Germiston, Johannesburg. The talent search is in collaboration with the fabulous MissTwy Designs collection, which was launched at a spectacular fashion show earlier this year. The regal brand, which is expanding and growing exponentially, is seeking to discover models and dancers, who can further represent the brand as it grows, for future shows and exhibitions etc.

For more information on the auditions, and how you can be a part of the fabulous affair, go to the Royal Fashion Show Page or visit the Royal Talent Search page on Facebook.

Poem: When The Show Is Over



Showbiz baby, you look pallid and haunted
emaciated and caved in, it's your core they taunted
now you're Z-shaped and demented

but nothing like Zeus
except every much as aggravated
incinerated within and you feel repeated
like a drama unable to follow nor look after
a script your linguistic limitation prohibits you
from seeing through

- to understand enough to cut the scenes
   in which you make no sense or in which 
you just round up an eight-gazed fool

ashamed in the lights, amid the social irony
facing every length of your infinite perjury
and glued to the index page of a book from history

-black and white-
color and odorless

with just a little emboss above your shoulders
as you turn to address the crowd
maybe your God Mama is a little proud
a little being the operative word

you cannot function without that veneration
and it resonates from nowhere
it's not your name up in air
bouncing like an orgy all over the theater
besides, you don't even know where you are
once again, this just happened to you
and that's not even excusable anymore

but no matter,

your reasons for
are just as
sudden and incomprehensible

you rattle in the overhead lights that the icons
glide through like cheetahs on LSD
or Pumas on Ecstasy
and fade in the rap of encore-jeers
just assume some posture anyway, take a bow
baby, cheers
