IF YOU see the picture of the little girl with the mass of curls at www.you.co.za, you can’t think anything other than “what a gorgeous child”. Yet when you read the words her mom writes to go with the image, it’s enough to break your heart. “It pained me when she was about three years old and asked when her hair would grow like Elsa’s from Frozen” YOU’s Natalie Cavernelis writes. “She spent a few weeks wandering around pretending to flick her ‘long hair’ over her shoulders” There have been many opinions on the issue of hair in the past week. Read our excellent article on page 12 and share your thoughts with us (email letters@you.co.za). Although most of my memories of my wedding day are happy I haven’t forgotten…

EVERYDAY LINER: THE ADD-ON METHOD STEP 1 Draw a line along the upper lashline from the inner to the outer corner of the eye. STEP 2 From the outer corner of the eye, draw a line that flicks outwards. STEP 3 Draw a second line above the first one so they connect and form a thicker line. The slimmer shape works for almond-shaped and big eyes as the upper lashline appears fuller but not overtly so. CLASSIC LINER: USING OUTLINES STEP 1 Draw a line from the outer corner of the eye, slanting towards the outer end of the eyebrow, ending just above the crease. STEP 2 Draw a second line from the end of the first line sloping towards the middle of the lashline. This should create a frame…

On staying authentic “I really can’t be manufactured because if you try to push me into something that’s not me I’ll look very uncomfortable. It wouldn’t work.” On being Texan to the core “I’m ballsy. Well, sometimes I’m ballsy. I like hot sauce on my eggs. I love country music. If I listen to Willie Nelson or Hank Williams I feel at home all of a sudden.” On her melancholy music “You might think I’m not a happy person but I actually am. I’m not a dark person. I go through dark periods. Everybody goes through dark periods. For some people they last longer than others.” SINCE SHE’S BEEN GONE Norah’s last solo album, Little Broken Hearts, was released in 2012 but the Don’t Know Why crooner has hardly been…

IF YOU were sick this winter you weren’t alone. Researchers say two out of 10 people suffer from colds and flu in winter. During the cold months our resistance to disease is lower and we spend more time indoors, which increases the chance of being infected by germs. But what is a germ? Germs are smaller than the smallest thing you can see. In fact you can’t see them with the naked eye, you need a microscope to do so. We call these microscopic living organisms microbes. There are three main types – bacteria, viruses and fungi. In this article we take a look at the first two. BACTERIA CAN BE GOOD OR BAD There are various kinds of bacteria, recognisable by their shape (see left). They live on nutrients…

That night the family resolved to see Harold convicted of Toni’s murder THE voice on the phone to the 911 emergency call operator sounds urgent, slightly breathless: “Hello, my name is Harold Hen-thorn. I’m in the Rocky Mountain National Park and I need an Alpine Mountain Rescue Team immediately” The operator transfers him to the National Park Service. “My wife has fallen from a rock on the north summit of Deer Mountain” he says. “She’s in a really critical condition. She’s had a bad fall – about 30 to 40 feet (nine to 12 metres).” The second operator tells him to hold. For several seconds all you can hear is the man on the other end of the phone breathing. Deer Mountain is one of the most popular outcrops for…

IT WAS a moment of huge pride, a sight to bring a lump to the throat: 45 South African athletes entering the glare of the stadium at the opening of the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio, each with a tale to tell of courage, persistence and determination against huge odds. The squad, which represents 10 sporting codes – archery, athletics, canoeing, cycling, equestrian, power-lifting, rowing, swimming, shooting and wheelchair tennis – will be looking to exceed the 29-medal haul of London 2012: eight gold, 12 silver and nine bronze. We take a look at some of our medal hopefuls. ON THE TRACK ERNST VAN DYK Without a doubt the face of the South African Paralympic squad, Ernst (43) is taking part in his seventh Games. The veteran wheelchair racer and…

MOM Beyoncé might have scooped up eight gongs and Rihanna might have received the lifetime achievement award – but the real star of MTV’s Video Music Awards (MVAs) was, by many accounts, four-year-old Blue Ivy Carter. Rocking a dress that costs more than most top earners make in a month, the little girl walked the red carpet like a pro alongside her mother. This isn’t even Ivy’s first show-stopping appearance at the VMAs. When Bey fell pregnant she rocked up at the VMAs wearing a flowing red gown that showed off her growing baby bump to perfection, leaving fans to draw their own conclusions. Four months later the Carters’ little princess made her grand entrance into the world – and she’s been turning heads ever since. THE FABULOUS WARDROBE Another…

When your dad’s a famous sport star and he has to be on a plane on your birthday, you’ve just got to tag along. But cricket player JP DUMINY and his wife, SUE, made up for it by celebrating ISABELLA’s first birthday with a carnival-themed celebration in Green Point, Cape Town. “Bella turned one on 23 August and we were flying from Durban to Johannesburg that day for the second Test match against New Zealand, so we could celebrate her birthday only on 3 September once we were back home,” Sue tells us. The proud mom says they chose a carnival theme because “all kids love games and sweets and Bella is crazy about horses”. So which parent does she take after the most? “We’re still trying to figure that…

THE WONDERS OF SPRING HERE’S a taster of what I see and hear in my garden from morning to night. Against a small cloud with a rainbow a crested barbet and a loerie are arguing abut who should get the paw-paw skin. The hoopoe is digging in the lawn for titbits while hundreds of huge black birds catch a thermal. Later the robin sings his goodnight song and there’s a falling star that looks like diamonds and emeralds, a small meteor shooting from east to west under a half moon. Absolutely amazing!

HE’S a duke, heir to the throne, a pilot, a respected public figure, a husband to one of his country’s most adored figures and a father to two picture-perfect children. With all he has going for him it’s easy to think Prince William (34) is just fine – and he does appear unfailingly chipper on his frequent public appearances, smiling and laughing as he engages easily with people who flock to see him. But every now and then glimpses emerge into the soul of Britain’s king-in-waiting, exposing a vulnerable side that stems back to that terrible day in 1997 when he lost his mother. After the death of Princess Diana, 15-year-old William and his 12-year-old brother, Prince Harry, were required by their grandmother Queen Elizabeth to keep a stiff upper…

Making the decision to have a child – it’s momentous. It’s to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body – AMERICAN WRITER ELIZABETH STONE YOU AND THE LAW The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) is useful while you’re on maternity leave – but only if you’ve been contributing to it. The law says women are entitled to four months’ maternity leave, one of which can be taken a month before the birth. But employers seldom pay your full salary while you’re off work, so this is where the UIF helps. All South Africans with a valid ID who contribute to the UIF can claim maternity benefits, as can foreigners with valid passports and work permits. HOW MANY DAYS? You can claim compensation from the UIF for…

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE 2016. 145 min. 13V. Sci-fi action. R119* Witnessing the destruction caused by Clark Kent aka Superman (Henry Cavill) at the end of Man Of Steel (2013), Bruce Wayne aka Batman (Ben Affleck) vows to stop him by any means necessary. DC Comics has had great success with films based on its two iconic superheroes but now that competitor Marvel has used its group of lesser-known characters to build a franchise, DC wants to do the same, starting with this sequel that’s also the setup for a Justice League film. Unfortunately attempts to shoehorn in other DC heroes add confusion instead of thrills. Man Of Steel’s sombre tone didn’t suit the optimistic Supes but because of Batman’s glowering presence it works better here. Affleck silences…

The talented Jozi-based musician stormed onto the music scene with her infectious debut single, Amazing. Now Alexandra May (20) is back with a new EP, One, and single, Highlights. What can we expect from your EP? It’s like a journal for me. It represents different spaces in my life. There’s romance, heartbreak and inspiration. My producer and I kept a similar sound and vibe for all the songs, which means they’re great little replications of me! Amazing was a huge hit. Did you expect it to be so successful? I didn’t! I did dare to hope though . . . I was completely overwhelmed when it was playlisted by 5FM radio. It amazes me how well it’s doing! Do you play any instruments? I play the piano and the guitar.…

FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS EARTH SIGNS: TAURUS, VIRGO AND CAPRICORN . . . Are dependable and won’t let you down. Function well in the physical and material world. Don’t easily get stressed out. Are practical.

HE WAS one of our stars at the London Paralympics in 2012, returning with a gold medal. But ace sprinter Samkelo Radebe wasn’t with the team that went to Rio for the Games recently: his days of high-level track competition are over. There was simply no time to train as he fulfilled another dream: qualifying as an attorney. For a long time the double amputee had put his studies on the back burner to focus on his sport. He won a string of medals at competitions around the world, topping things off with first place in the men’s 100 m relay at the Paralympic Games in London four years ago. But then he decided it was time to shift focus. “When I finished my law degree I told myself I…

SO YES, we’re still popping champers that DRAKE (29) and RIHANNA (28) have finally come out as a couple. Since that MTV VMA appearance where the Canadian rapper professed his love for the Barbadian singer the two have stepped up their romance game and have been spotted out in public several times looking loved-up. The This Is What You Came For songbird and her beau have always been coy about their on-off romance, which started in May 2009 at a Lucky Strike bowling alley in New York, with RiRi at times even flatly denying anything was going on between them. At times things got a bit messy but no matter what they said or didn’t say their steamy chemistry ultimately told the real story, whether performing together on stage or…

I feel so sorry for the miserable person who shared Margaret van Wyk’s private message meant for her husband (YOU, 8 September). She obviously doesn’t have a life. Margaret, hold your head high. I wish I had the guts to delight my husband in this way. ADMIRING, SMS Giving Margaret van Wyk four pages to tell her story about her private parts is beyond me. I’m broadminded, but that picture was nothing short of disgusting. CHERYL, POLOKWANE Thanks for the article on Pretty Yende (YOU, 1 September). I’ve never liked opera but listening to Pretty is phenomenal! Hearing her performances is like listening to liquid gold. Thanks for introducing me to her amazing voice. KATHLEEN , EMAIL In the past year my grocery bill has increased by a R1 000…

Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau (44) – above with wife Sophie Grégoire (41) and their kids, Xavier (8), Ella-Grace (7) and Hadrien (2) – invited William and Kate to his country, and the couple have graciously accepted. So Prince George and Princess Charlotte are expected to join their parents for their first family tour later this month. Nanny Maria Borrallo will in all likelihood accompany the family and take charge of the little ones when their parents attend official dinners. There will be plenty of family fun to be had, including a visit to the Great Bear Rainforest, described as “the planet’s last expanse of coastal temperate rainforest” and home to breathtaking waterfalls, grey wolves and grizzly bears. Sea lions and humpback whales frolic in the waters that fringe the…

Radio and TV personality Unathi Msengana “No one in this world, no matter who they are, can withhold your right to living your true life, let alone your right to education. That’s what the old government did; working to make sure the black child would be at the bottom of the food chain. Don’t take our baggage as your truth. We have many conversations we still need to have with our peers to truly learn to understand one another” Businesswoman and former Miss SA Basetsana Kumalo “It’s a sad day in our democracy to watch 14-, 15-and 16-year-olds having to march for their identity when they should be in a classroom. As a mother raising a daughter and mentoring daughters of our nation, it would be an indictment to be…

‘Regret is a painful thing. Few people understand there are three important things that leave us and can never return – words, time, opportunity. These are things we can never get back’ – U.S. WRITER KATHRYN PEREZ MY WIFE WANTS ME TO CHOOSE – IT’S NOT FAIR! Q I have a wife and a mistress and I love them equally. My wife found out about my affair recently and expects me to give up my mistress but I’ve told her it’s as if she’s asking me to cut off an arm.

TIME TO FLEA A guy takes his dog to the park. After a brisk walk he sits down on a bench next to a woman. “Please keep your dog on your side, sir” she says crossly after a few minutes. “I can feel a flea in my shoe!” “Midnight, come here,” the guy says to his dog. “This woman has fleas.” MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE One Sunday as he’s leaving church Frank pauses to have a word with his minister. “Would it be right,” he says, “for a person to profit from the mistake of another?” “Absolutely not” the minister replies, disappointed Frank would even ask such a question. “In that case,” Frank says, “could you please return the R500 I paid you last July to marry my wife and me.” GOING…

EMILY HOBHOUSE: BELOVED TRAITOR BY ELSABÉ BRITS, Tafelberg She wasn’t just a do-gooder from England who came to South Africa during the Second Anglo-Boer War to relieve the suffering of women and children in concentration camps – Emily Hobhouse was a pacifist, humanitarian and feminist. In this new biography, Elsabé Brits goes in search of the real Emily. For years the Cape Town journalist has been fascinated by Hobhouse and has wondered what it was that drove her to break through “the stifling confines of the Victorian era in which she’d been born to become a citizen of the world”. In an era where women were expected to stay at home and do needlework, what possessed her to travel all the way to Africa to help people whose language she…

Their ritual before going on stage? “We all brush our teeth together. It’s really weird but it means we’re minty fresh for the stage,” Ashton says. DON’T CALL US THAT! They don’t like being labelled a pop-punk band. “It’s just as isolating as being called a boy band,” Calum says. “I don’t want to make just one type of music; I want to evolve as a band. Bands like U2 have songs that are almost completely different genres, and that’s what I love.” MEETING THE PUNTERS Michael would rather talk to fans than take selfies with them. “Usually it’s like, take a picture first and then sign, but I wish the dynamic was that you can go and talk to…

“I was the small brunette among tall blondes. You only get one body, you might as well love it. Nothing is the end of the world. Flash-forward a year and ask yourself, ‘Is this really going to be that big of a deal?’ In the long run it’s really not.” – Pretty Little Liars actress LUCY HALE “I was self-conscious about what I’d call my ‘tree-trunk legs’ because they’re very muscular . . . but now I’ve learnt to love them.” – actress VANESSA HUDGENS I went through a lot of bullying in school and it made me so upset all the time. I hated my life. I hated everything. It does make it so hard when you’re that age and everyone is being mean to you at school and…

SHE was one of the top models in the country, gracing magazine covers, sashaying down catwalks and sizzling in sultry swimwear shoots. But Christina Storm-Nel has left the glitz and glamour of the fashion world far behind – for the time being at least – and is living her dream: as stay-at-home mom to a growing brood of kids. “I always wished for a family like this,” the 42-year-old says, chatting to us in her home in Melville, Johannesburg. “It just shows what you put out there you’ll receive. I always wanted to grow my own veggie garden and have a loving husband and loads of children” When Christina wed Paul Nel (45) three years ago they instantly became a family of four. She has a daughter, Ruby (12), from…

LINDSAY LOHAN is apparently over Russian billionaire Egor Tarabasov (23). The actress is said to be getting “very serious” with restaurant owner DENNIS PAPAGEORGIOU, whom she calls “the man who saved me from Egor”. Lindsay met Dennis at her 30th birthday party in Mykonos, Greece. According to a source, “Egor showed his true colours in a series of blazing rows, and Dennis did too when he stepped in to help. It’s a weird start but they’re taking things seriously. Lindsay is hoping this is the beginning of a more healthy relationship” We hope so too.…

Turns out MIRANDA KERR (33) wasn’t impressed with her ex-hubby’s recent naked display. When asked on a US radio station what her response was to the photos showing actor Orlando Bloom (39) paddle-boarding in the buff with girlfriend Katy Perry (31), the Australian supermodel, who’s engaged to Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel (26), replied, “He texted me and he was like, ‘Um, I’m really embarrassed. Some photos are coming out. Just thought I should let you know . . . ‘ I was like, ‘Hmm right, what were you thinking? Seriously, what were you thinking?’ ” Obviously he wasn’t!
