Ethnic Zsa-Zsa: Namibian Style on Ibiza

The island of Ibiza in the Mediterranean Sea is famous for its exciting nightlife, as a spectacular holiday destination and the curious fact that no one, not even the authorities, knows how many people actually live there. That aside, Ibiza is a premier Summer holiday destination for tourists from all over the world and large parts of the island are registered as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. That's the 'about'...

The island of Ibiza is also the home of Namibian artist and designer, Zsa-Zsa Maasdorp, and her fantastic range of uniquely ethnic leisure wear, Ethnic Zsa-Zsa: The Zennith Project.

Zsa-Zsa moved to Spain for love, a few years ago. We lost touch, reconnected on Facebook and great was my pleasure to see this Namibian beauty is now the proud mother of a beautiful boy, an artist and designer.

I absolutely LOVE Zsa-Zsa's style! Sensual, quirky and sensitive, Ethnic Zsa-Zsa is a reflection of the fine hand of the artist behind it, and a handmade label to wear this coming summer in Swakopmund, to the envy of everyone else! What makes her range of leisure wear so unique? The range is handmade and each item of clothing is individually decorated by Zsa-Zsa.

You can view selected items on Facebook: Ethnic Zsa-Zsa: The Zennith Project, or contact Zsa-Zsa Maasdorp via e-mail on orphans2artist@yahoo.com, to order items from her range. Don't miss out on this one, it's going to be huge!

Besides a dialect of Catalan (Spanish), she still speaks her native tongue, Afrikaans. I also hope, in the not too distant future, we'll see a boutique in one of our coastal malls, perhaps? Wishful thinking...not.

PRESS RELEASE: Insight Namibia Magazine Celebrates 100th Edition (September 2013)

In a magazine market known for its fly-by-nights and flash-in-the-pans, Insight Namibia cc marks its 100th monthly edition with the September 2013 issue . The first edition appeared in September 2004 and throughout the last nine years, Insight maintained its position as Namibia's premier current affairs magazine . Originally started and currently based in Windhoek, Namibia, the magazine's founders, Robin Sherbourne, David Lush and Tangeni Amupadhi, journalists in their own right, at the time (2004) wrote that Insight was 'born out of a feeling that Namibians yearn for more than just hard news.' Readers were promised a publication that went beyond the daily headlines and covered 'the story behind the story' . The magazine was not started with a bank loan; the pioneers pooled their savings to get it off the ground and to this day, that same financial discipline, has ensured that Insight has never taken a loan to cover its operating, printing and overhead cos...

Tattoo: Ethiopian Coptic Cross (Meskel) Design

C hristianity arrived on the shores of southern Africa approximately 600 years ago, and unbeknownst to the bright-eyed European missionaries who disembarked from sodden ships at the Cape of Good Hope, it had been practiced on the African continent, and flourished as an independent religion for almost 1,000 years before, in Ethiopia. Today, the oldest Christian faith on the continent, rumoured to be closest in resembling early Christianity, is the Ethiopian Coptic Church (or the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church). The cross is the popular universal symbol of Christianity and across the world, in every Christian community, it remains within the parameters of a simple design (+) , almost 2,000 years old. The Ethiopian Coptic Church is the only known Christian community that produces a remarkable version of the cross, called ''meskel''; even more remarkable, this development occurred independent of the influence of European Christianity. Meskel pat...
