The Sharmanator

Dean Oelschig brought this piece of badass driving to my attention yesterday

And then they took the test to the top of the world’s highest helipad

Typical Beemer driver – always showing off

Guaranteed to go viral. This is special

Wowzer. Tuh-lent ne?

Wow. she gives great hugs…

Today I’m off to Yo Mamma City to meet Helen Zille…

Rocking the Vuvuzille

I’m well-excited

Yesterday we brought you some more info on Run Jozi –> here.

Our friends at Nike called us up after the post and I proceeded to bounce the idea past them of changing the brand from Nike to Mike. Then there was an awkward silence… so I quickly changed the subject.

What we managed to agree on was that if you sign up for Run Jozi and tweet me @mikesharman and include the hashtag ‘#MikePLUSNike’ you will be placed in a draw to win a brand new pair of Nike running shoes for the race – and you even get to keep them. Hit up www.runjozi.com , register to run, tweet, win. Easy!

Slam dunk. The funk!

And. Go!

A wise man once told me that when you hit 28, it becomes increasingly difficult to stay fit. At the time, I was in peak physical condition and the envy of 79.5% of all actors in the Greater Hollywood Metropol. I pooh-poohed this prophecy.

Fast forward to 28. Great chafed balls of fire am I unfit. Even with the appeal of new treadmills at Virgin Active – the ones with the little paddles on the side, like on the steering wheel of a super car – making time to exercise is tough. Yoh!

But my competitive, stubborn, inner child now has a target to get his ass back into a formidable shape. Struggling to run 2kms on February 22 in 10 minutes —> Completing a 10k in any amount of time on March 21, 2012. This is Nike’s #RunJozi

What? You haven’t bought your copy yet? Get your lazy ass off to the Engen garage at your lunch break. You won’t be disappointed. You’ll get at least a half a lazy. Guaranteed.

Mwah

Whilst perusing the interwebs this morning, I began to see some people complaining that Winter is on its way. I think this is rubbish, but I have stumbled upon the must-have accessory for the season and you heard it here first.

Introducing the *Beanstache.

Incredible, innit. That’s the famous Drew Wiza, setting trends by the second.

Have a rockin’ week my pretties…

*Sharfashion lingo right there!

Marie Claire SA is the bombdiggety. They have an annual Naked Issue for a good cause, where they invite a group of Saffricans to Rock/Jam Out With Your Cock/Clam out. This year’s beneficiary of the campaign is the SA Burn Foundation

Below is the teaser video for the magazine that hits shelves across the country on Monday 20 February. The 2012 edition features the likes of Jack Parow, Locnville, Francois Hougaard, Lonehill Estate, Trevor Gumbi, Shadowclub,Dave Levinsohn, Joey Rasdien, Tumi Morake, Kim Schulze and yours truly to name a few.

Go out and buy it. Do it. And follow the Burn Foundation on twitter to learn more about the great work that they are involved in here

Ya, look, working in digital ain’t always glamourous – sometimes you have to fly down to Yo Mamma City on the red-eye flight and escort 6 *dancers around town – most of whom have shaken a tail feather or two for the Bulls, IPL, or a ludicrously wealthy Saudi sheik.

With just under a week to go until you find out whether or not you have made it to the #5GumExperience and exactly two weeks until Two Door Cinema Club tears it up in an undisclosed location in Joziwood, we wanted to spread some TDCC love through the streets and offices of CT…

*This was shot off the guyPhone so the dancers appear to be oversized midgets at times, but keep an eye out for the stills for their true beauty – sorry ladies!

Best you shake your tail feather over to the 5 Gum SA fanpage over here, lest you miss out on arguably the best gig of the year. JHB – March 2 ; CPT – March 3.

Head for the hills, nekkid. It’s weekend time my pretties!
