Kobus Galloway was onlangs ‘n gas op kykNET se aktualiteitsprogram Flits waar hy met Bouwer Bosch gesels het oor sy Idees vol vrees-reeks en sy nuwe boek, Where’s Zuma?

Met die intrapslag is Galloway reeds op sy stukke. Bosch: “Welkom Kobus, lekker om jou op die show te hê … huge fan, ou.” Galloway: “Jy hét ‘n bietjie gewig opgetel.”

 
Galloway vertel dat die kunsgogga hom al op vyfjarige ouderdom gebyt het en die komedie het kort daarna gevolg. Sy ouers het hom as kind na ‘n kunsskool in Bredasdorp gestuur, en toe sy juffrou sy katte aangesien het vir leeus was die koeël deur die kerk.

Oor sy jongste boek Where’s Zuma?, wat gegrond is op die gewilde Where’s Wally-reeks deur Martin Handford, vertel Galloway: “As jy die president klaar gekry het dan’s daar ‘n lysie van ander mense wat jy kan soek. As jy hou van Afrikaanse musiek kan vir jy Steve Hofmeyr gaan soek.” Ander versteekte bekendes sluit in Die Antwoord, Jack Parow en Oscar Pistorius.

Oor sy loopbaan as komediant vertel die komediant-kunstenaar dat hy vanaf 2009 vir drie jaar “geskerpskerts” het: “Ek het altyd ‘n probleem gehad om met mense te praat of as my foon lui wil ek my broek natmaak, so ek het dit gebruik om self-confidence op te bou en met mense te praat.”

Galloway gesels meer oor sy kreatiewe proses, hoe hy kritiek hanteer en hoe hy voel oor mense wat plagiaat pleeg. Hy vertel ook dat hy baie daarvan hou wanneer onderwysers sy spotprente in klaskamers gebruik om idiome te verduidelik.

Dr Eve has launched a video series, Dr Eve’s Sexual Health Centre, in which she addresses myths about sexuality.

Dr Eve, whose most recent book is Ageing and Sexuality: Your 21st Century Guide to Lifelong Sensuality, says she used to buy into the myth that women cheat less than men. However, during her research into cyber infidelity, she says she has discovered that the truth is far more complicated.

With a focus on the users of Ashley Madison, an online dating service for people who in a relationship – with the tagline “Life is short. Have an affair.” – Dr Eve says 76 percent of women using the site then go offline to meet a partner.

Dr Eve believes an equalisation is happening between men and women when it comes to cheating.

“About 63 percent of men and 53 percent of women are cheating,” she says.

Dr Eve, sex therapist and author of Ageing and Sexuality: Your 21st Century Guide to Lifelong Sensuality, has shared a video in which she discusses the myth that married people have less sex than their single counterparts.

There is a popular notion that once a couple is married, the sex stops. But contrary to popular belief, people in fact have more sex when they are married. Dr Eve explains why.

Dr Eve recently spoke about “out of control sexual behaviour” on Talk Radio 702.

The sex therapist, clinical sexologist and author of Ageing and Sexuality: Your 21st Century Guide to Lifelong Sensuality asks, what is acceptable, appropriate healthy sexual behaviour for people?

Dr Eve says we are prone to jump to the diagnostic term “sexual addiction”, while hypersexual behaviour in men is about psychological deterioration. “These are men who are unable to control their emotions, to be able to manage difficult, unpleasant thoughts and feelings and it actualises into sexual behaviour.”

Dr Eve says that couples should have a shared value system and communicate over what they deem unacceptable sexual behaviour.

In the second part of the show readers call in to discuss the issue of hypersexuality.

Dr Eve, sexologist and author of Ageing and Sexuality: Your 21st Century Guide to Lifelong Sensuality, was quoted in article by The Citizen about the correlation between star signs and tendency towards infidelity.

A survey on AshleyMadison.com, a dating site for married people, showed that a very large number of adulterers are Gemini women and Pisces men. Capricorn women and Sagittarius men are apparently the most likely to be faithful. The article gives goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune as an example of an unfaithful Gemini, and Brad Pitt as a faithful Sagittarian.

Dr Eve found the informayion very interesting, and explains how the characteristics of Geminis might predispose them to cheat in their relationships.

Read the article:

“I find these results fascinating,” says Dr Eve, a well-known South African sexologist currently writing a book on cyberinfidelity.

“My research reveals people seek playfulness online, and cyberinfidelity is an easy and accessible way to find this playfulness. Since adulterers have to juggle their lives, it makes sense the majority of women are Gemini. Imagination and fantasy are exactly what cyberinfidelity is about, hence the dominant presence of Pisces men.”

Style guru and author of The Style Bible Simon Rademan believes underwear should remain unseen – “they are called undergarments for a reason and they should ideally be one’s own personal secret,” writes Zwelakhe Shangase in summary of Rademan’s chapter on lingerie.

Noting that most women “don’t know their correct brassiere size or deliberately wear ill-fitting bras”, Rademan highlights the tells of a wrong fit and shares thoughts on panties, underpants and Spandex undergarments:

Clothing has a language of its own and can be therefore regarded as a form of communication.

This is because what we wear says something about who we are and who we aspire to be.

But, that doesn’t mean that we should be exposed to people’s undergarments – they are called undergarments for a reason and they should ideally be one’s own personal secret.

Zwelakhe Shangase from The New Age has summarised advice from Simon Rademan’s book The Style Bible in which he shares his wealth of knowledge and experience gained from more than twenty years in the industry. In the article Shangase outlines the style guru’s thoughts on the basic elements every woman should have in her closet: The Blouse, The Skirt, Trousers vs Dresses, Cocktail Dresses and The Little Black Dress.

“Once you have your basic style in check and you’re feeling confident add a bit of dazzle with accessories,” writes Shangase. Have a look at Rademan’s ideas for the perfect baseline items:

Clothing plays an important part in understanding the social and cultural tones that exist in society.

Clothing protects us not only from natural elements such as rain, winds, cold or the sun but provides crucial insight into whether someone is wealthy or not, which country they’re from and even, surprisingly, what social cause he or she supports.

Major cities like Paris, Johannesburg and New York play a huge role in forcing people to dress and act in a specific way and the only way not to succumb to the pressure is of course to listen to your own gut instinct – if that doesn’t work then just consider going back to basics.
