GQ namecheck us

I remember reading on 2oceansvibe ages ago about how Joblog were mentioned in some magazine, like Elle or something, I can't find the link now. 2oceansvibe have also been mentioned a fair share of times in various forms of media. Now it's our turn. It may not be big, but it's something. And it's in a real mans magazine, Gentleman's Quarterly.

I'm not really too alarmed at the whole thing, because it was my cheap way of marketing(That some of us know too well) that got me the mention in the first place. My name dropping came in the form of a letter to GQ, published in the letters pages for March 2007(Buy it NOW!) It will be on their website soon as well. Shit, this probably means that I better stop saying bad things about the chairs and swimming costumes GQ chooses for us. By the way, at Llandudno on Sunday I did not see one person wearing those tight swimming costumes. Ok, I did see one guy. But he was old and clearly had a fondness for smearing olive oil on himself just before hitting the beach.

So yeah, it's just a little mention, but it made my day. Shit, all this excitement and paranoia just before the blog awards.

I love it.

And I hope you do too.

GQ, I'd like to thank you guys. You have given me so much over the years that my life would probably be quite empty if it weren't for you. And the new GQ is seriously worth reading, I think the guys have clearly been inspired by the new year. Check out their covergirl Ariadne Artiles (The Greek Goddess of Love perhaps?) and our Candice Boucher. She has very intense, mesmerizing eyes.

Look, I won't go too much into an ego trip on this article, I will let the endorsement(Well, kind of) by GQ speak for itself.

Now go rest.

You deserve it.

Hey Sean,

Here's the article you're looking for. They just made a pretend-pretend mag cover. It wasn't real.

Hey Seth

Shot for the link, I had been wanting to see that again!
Glad you enjoy the site, not many people do, especially from Joburg it would seem where I get called every name under the sun!

Heres to Cape Town beaches and humour.
