AWSUM Celebrity Interview Duane Vermeulen Daniel Johannes ‘Duane’ Vermeulen is gebore op 3 Julie 1986 en matrikuleer aan die Hoërskool Nelspruit. Van daar loop sy professionele rugbyloopbaan deur die Pumas (2005–2007), die Cheetahs (2007–2008) en die Stormers (2009–2015), tot nou by Toulon in Frankryk waar hy tans op kontrak is.

Duane speel sy eerste van 35 toetse (tot einde 2015) op 8 September 2012 teen Australië. In 2014 was hy benoem as een van vyf vir die IRB Player of the Year-toekenning. As die ysterman van SuidAfrikaanse rugby word Duane gerespekteer as ‘n wêreldklas speler hier en oorsee. AWSUM News het by hom gaan inloer om te hoor hoe die lewe in Frankryk hom behandel.

1.

V Hoe ervaar jy die lewe in Frankryk?

5.

A Soos enige nuwe plek, het Frankryk maar sy aanpassings. Taal, kultuur en kos is die grootste goed om gewoond aan te raak.

2.

V Vertel ons meer oor Toulon.

A Toulon is ‘n kleinerige stad in die suide van Frankryk wat ontstaan het as ‘n militêre hawe.

Vandag is die stad bekend vir skeepsbou, vis en wyn, en natuurlik ook die rugbyspan. Mense hier is mal oor RC Toulon en dis bitter min dat ons stadion nie propvol is nie.

V

Hoe vergelyk die rugbystrukture tussen

V Hoe vergelyk die rugbystrukture tussen 3.

Toulon en die Toulon en Stormers? die Stormers?

A Altwee is uiters suksesvolle professionele eenhede. Omdat mens in Suid-Afrika met heelwat jonger spelers werk, word daar hier egter baie meer tyd bestee aan ontwikkeling.

4.

V Hoe lank het dit jou geneem om Frans te leer praat?

A Ek laat jou weet sodra ek dit bemeester het!

AWSUM NEWS JUNE 2016

V Kry jy darem so nou en dan gebraai in Frankryk?

A Vleis is hier topgehalte en met die son wat so laat in die aande sak, maak dit vir perfekte braaitoestande.

6.

V Hoe verskil die Franse van Suid-Afrikaners?

A Ek dink Suid-Afrikaners pas oor die algemeen goed in Frankryk aan. Die Frenchies kan soms wel maar bietjie emosioneel word en op hol gaan met ‘n ding, maar verder is hulle passievolle mense wat lief is vir hulle land en hulle kultuur.

7.

V Wat mis jy die meeste van jou lewe in Suid-Afrika?

A Mens se vriende en familie is wat mens altyd maar die meeste na verlang.

8.

V Beplan jy om weer eendag in Suid-Afrika te speel in die Super Rugby-reeks?

A Dis moeilik om nou te sê presies wat die toekoms inhou. Vir nou het ek ‘n werk om te doen vir Toulon en doelwitte om te bereik. Wie weet wat daarna voorlê.

The Essentials for the Perfect Matric Dance Evening

Each year, every girl in their Matric Year looks forward to one particular evening of the year, that one night you have been dreaming about since the beginning of your high school career. Every girl fantasises about their Matric Dance and just how spectacular the evening is set to be. But it’s not only the actual dance that we dream of, it’s the glitz and glamour of the entire event, and most importantly, just how beautiful we both look and feel.Months of preparation are spent ensuring that the PERFECT dress is chosen, along with all the right accessories and such that go with this. So, to help all you lovely ladies out, we have put together the perfect guide to all the essentials that are needed for your special night, a virtual checklist if you like.

The Perfect Dress

The Perfect Nails

Firstly, you need to find THE dress, the one you cannot take your eye off and just want to live in. Whether it’s getting one tailor made, or hiring a beautiful gown, comfort and beauty need to go hand in hand.

The traditional way is to opt for a stunning Manicure, however why not try something different and add a bit of colour to your look?

Gel nails are a great way of ensuring your nails look elegant for such an occasion and just as lovely as your traditional French Manicure.

Why not a bit of sparkle?

The Perfect Face Ensuring that the perfect make up is chosen is a huge part of your look. We recommend a ‘fresh face’ look to show off your natural Celebrate your matricbeauty, there’s nothing worse then too much make dance in style up.

The Perfect Hairdo Whether you have short hair, long hair, dark or light hair, the perfect style to suit your overall look is essential.

Braids are really in and they are a great way to make sure your hair is kept in place all evening and can be used for both an upstyle or a simple fall.

We love the idea of a flower crown, or a simple tiara would look beautiful too.

The Perfect Jewellery Selecting the perfect pieces

of jewellery is always a tough choice. Such a small item has the ability to add the perfect touch to your look. Always look at your dress and it’s colours, and then co-ordinate your jewels. If your dress has a lot of detail, try a more simple choice in the above jewellery. However, if you’ve gone with a more simple style, a bold statement neckpiece is always a winner.

The Perfect Finishing touches Never forget the finishing touches. The perfect shoe to match your dress can surprisingly be one of the hardest items of your look to find, so make sure you don’t leave this till the last minute. Don’t forget your lipstick behind, so you can always touch up when it’s photo time.

So go out looking beautiful and don’t forget to have fun and make amazing memories to last a lifetime!
