…a raging repertoire of skinny jeaned indie kids, corps. moguls, boho hippies, the young, the old, the camera-happy, the ignorant and the wise. Alive, indeed. The Street Scene in ....Cape Town.... is as eclectic as it is charming, its labyrinth-like composition decorated with the macabre and the bizarre.
Long Street needs no introduction. Where time and space have no meaning, it’s a myriad of colours and cultures, of energy and life. Bonjour, Adiós, Xie Xie Ni. Human exchanges become the music of the streets, playing a new tune every day.
....
Memories are captured beneath the towering art deco buildings, and hidden along the stone-cobbled alley-ways. Here you’ll find the old and the new, something borrowed and something blue. Retro-funk meets quirky-cool at Royale Eatery…the city’s ....Mecca.... of gourmet burgers and stellar milkshakes. The Pulp Fiction café scene says it all guys. Clean lines and earthy tones take on a Funky African flavour at U & Me café, a humble gem of all things lovely. Afternoon delights and dark, roasted coffee…the food is fresh, healthy & always served with that delightful ....teethy.. ..Cape.... Town smile.
....
Stories re-read, and once much-loved, find refuge in the charming Clarke’s Bookstore – a intriguing medley of donkey-eared treasures. Margin doodles, Dragons & Gargoyles, first loves and forgotten notes…each book carries a story of its own. Part of the gracious Georgian-style Grand Daddy Hotel, The Daddy Cool Bar is all about decadence, indulgence and classy bling. Add a few mojitos and moody lighting, and let the good times roll.
....
Day merges into night seamlessly on Long Street, the scene an aesthetic and audio transformation. Paying tribute to the ingenious, classic works of past Fiction, night club Fiction is an innovative, intimate and intriguing space of colours, sounds and sights. Fat basslines and ass-shaking, arm-waving crowd, it’s all about recognizing and celebrating Cape Town’s elusive underground culture.
....
It’s about feeling alive, right now, all of the time. A whirlwind of music, fashion, food and art, Long Street captures the unique character of ....Cape Town...., sweeping you away in its glorious wonder.....
About Me
- Sarah Claire
- I am Sarah, which means Princess. I am far from a Princess. Rather a master of spontaneity who strives to find flamboyancy in simple things. Breezy days and tanned feet make me smile. Things which make me happy are camp fire ghost stories, sticking stickers, doodling, open minds and the world at large. I have just got my first tattoo. It's the first music notes to a line to a PJ Harvey song that says "If that's all there is, my friend, then lets keep dancin’". I spend a lot of time thinking of old friends and good times. I spend more time thinking about how many places I want to explore though. Humbleness, getting out of my comfort zone and learning from others is of utmost importance to me. My favourite line is "With brains in your head, and feet in your shoes, you can steer yourself in any direction you choose" (Dr. Seuss). I love watching people engage in things they are passionate about, it reminds me why we all have different talents and why we should embrace and celebrate them. I write for a living. I need to be challenged. I am ADD. I talk really loudly and eat loads of popcorn and spill loads of coffee. I also say thank you, please and try smile and laugh a lot.
