With her latest single 'Bliss' playing in the background, she details her hair routine, saying she has been using the Fenty Hair cream to define her curls since her hair is at 'an odd, awkward stage', as it appears that she has cut it shorter.
'You kind of have to play with it and put it in place wherever you want it,' she said as she styles her defined curls.

From Uitsig to Broadway: the inspiring journey of Chesray Dolpha
Chesray Dolpha Image: Supplied From the stoep of her grandmother's home in Uitsig to the bright lights of Broadway, Chesray Dolpha's journey is a testament to the transformative power of storytelling. The 42-year-old Tony Award-winning theatre director, who now calls New York City home, has built a career bridging continents, cultures, and causes — all through the power of performance. Dolpha grew up in a Pentecostal church her great grandfather founded, where 'you could count on dancing, shouting, visions and speaking in tongues.' She recalled how church felt like 'a version of theatre,' with the pageantry of her grandmother's and mother's church outfits, complete with matching hats and bags, serving as her first theatre experience. Her grandmother, considered a trusted neighbourhood counsellor in Uitsig, was often visited by community members. These visits to her grandmother's stoep or couch would also later shape a narrative and become her first introduction to storytelling. 'The people in Uitsig are natural storytellers with a mastery of expressing a massive range of the human experience and they were my introduction to storytelling.' Dolpha's mother was also a major influence. Despite a slight stutter and having to leave school early to support the family, Dolpha describes her as one of the best storytellers she knows.

Her schooling began at Uitsig Primary before moving to Dr Van Der Ross Primary in Belhar, and later Symphony Secondary School. It was here that her love of literature blossomed, while her first real experience of theatre came when her school visited the Artscape. From there Dolpha's dream started realising when she moved to New York City, made possible by the Oprah Winfrey Foundation's African Women's Public Service Fellowship at NYU Wagner. 'This highly competitive fellowship is awarded to only one or two women across the entire African continent each year. I was honoured to be named the 2009 Oprah Fellow.' As Resident Director of Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, Dolpha found a deeply personal connection. 'Like Tina Turner, my mother, sister, and I are survivors of domestic violence. My mother made the courageous decision to leave my father, who was struggling with an addiction to Mandrax. 'When I interviewed for this job, I told Phyllida Lloyd, my boss, that I saw my mother's strength and resilience reflected in Tina. A woman who chose to reinvent herself, refusing to be defined by what went wrong and instead focused on what made her truly special.' Her approach to directing is rooted in empathy and respect. 'My directorial approach was deeply rooted in centering the humanity of the actors and creating a space where their stories and emotions could be fully honoured and expressed.' Beyond theatre, Dolpha's consultancy, StoryBridge, uses storytelling as a tool for social change. Chesray Dolpha showed that there is power in believing Image: Supplied 'When we share stories from people with marginalized experiences, we reaffirm that we will not be silenced — that our stories, from Belhar, Uitsig to Mitchells Plain and all the way to New York City, truly matter. Storytelling creates a world where the characters on stage look like us, sound like us, and live our realities. I don't believe I'm here to help people find their voice — they already have it. 'My work is about centering those stories and creating storytelling experiences that allow a wider audience to see and understand the brilliance of truthful storytelling — where joy has the opportunity to be centered and not just our trauma. It's about honoring the legacies of our grandmothers, mothers, and aunties, who have powerful things to say and refuse to be relegated into the shadows. In fact, it's about demanding a spotlight that honors our full humanity—one that holds space for both our strength and our joy.' In leadership roles with the Broadway Advocacy Coalition and the Classical Theatre of Harlem, Dolpha stresses the importance of belonging. Looking ahead, she is excited about the StoryBridge x The Playwrights Incubator in Cape Town, which aims to elevate black and queer voices.

Hyper-realistic dolls fascinate and creep out Brazil
Brazilian youtuber Gabi Matos holds a reborn baby doll as she is seated next to her collection in Campinas, Sao Paulo state, . Reborn babies are hyper-realistic dolls that have unleashed a media, social and even legislative storm in Brazil. Handmade with silicone or vinyl, these dolls, which can cost thousands of dollars, show an astonishing level of detail: veins, tears, saliva. Gabi Matos looks the quintessential doting mum as she changes Ravi's nappy, cooing reassuringly as he stares up at her. But this Brazilian "newborn" doesn't seem to mind having his nappy changed. In fact, he has no real emotions whatsoever. Ravi is a hyper-realistic doll with an eerie resemblance to an actual infant. Some of the so-called "reborn" dolls cry, suck dummies, pee, have nails, eyelashes and veins. But what really sets them apart from traditional dolls with waxy, smooth complexion is their puckered features and blotchy skin. Blink and you could mistake the bundle in the stroller in Rio de Janeiro for the real thing. Demand for these replica babies, which first emerged in the United States in the early 1990s, targeting adults chiefly, has rocketed in the South American country in recent years. "I always loved babies and dolls, from a very young age. When I discovered these art models I fell in love," said Ravi's 21-year-old "mum". Made with silicone or vinyl, the price tag for these bundles of joy can run to thousands of dollars. Matos, who lives in the southeastern Brazilian city of Campinas, received her first "reborn" - so-called because the first editions were traditional dolls modified by artists to look more life-like - aged nine. Her collection now runs to 22 and looking after her tiny charges is a full-time job which she enacts daily for her 1.3 million YouTube followers. But in the past few weeks, the admiring comments on her posts have become interspersed with attacks. "People say I should be admitted to a psychiatric hospital because they believe that we treat them (the dolls) as if they were real children, which is not the case," she said. "It's sad." The dolls tottered into the public debate in April when a group of collectors held a gathering in a park in Sao Paulo. Footage of the event went viral, along with a separate video of a reborn "birth", in which an influencer extracts a disheveled doll from a fluid-filled bag passing for an amniotic sac and then clamps a make-believe umbilical cord. Social media erupted with posts either condemning the would-be mothers' behavior as deranged or dismissing it as a harmless hobby. "Let these people raise reborn babies. If they procreate, it will be much worse!" actress Luana Piovani wrote on Instagram, in a post that was viewed thousands of times. Alana Generoso, a longtime reborn baby collector, who now owns her own doll store, insists that her customers are perfectly sound of mind. "Many children come to the store, as well as adults that lead normal lives," the 46-year-old mother of real four-year-old triplets said. Alana Babys Maternity Hospital in Campinas is designed to look like an authentic maternity ward. Before handing over a doll to its new owner, employees in white coats take it from an incubator, weigh it, place it in a stroller and present the proud "parent" with a birth certificate. "Here, you're not buying an ordinary doll, you're buying a dream," Generoso argued. "Are there cases of people looking after the dolls as if they were real babies? Yes, but they're not a majority." The debate has reverberated all the way up to Congress. Some MPs are calling for "reborn" mums to receive psychological help, but others call for people who allegedly use their "babies" to jump the queue for public services to be punished. Last week, an MP made clear which camp he was in when he brought his reborn "granddaughter" to parliament. Playing with dolls is "not a sin," Manoel Isidorio, an evangelical pastor, argued. For psychologist Viviane Cunha collecting dolls is a hobby that is only categorized as a disorder when it causes "social, emotional or economic harm." "If for example the person skips work because 'the baby has a fever', and believes it to be true, then he or she needs professional help," she said. Cunha linked the reborn fever to a global loneliness epidemic, which the World Health Organization has tied to social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic. "I think the doll comes from a search for an emotional bond or connection," Cunha said. Matos argues that criticism of the dolls is sexist. "Male hobbies like video games, flying kites, playing football are normalized. No one says that they are too old to do these things, but women cannot take care of their dolls without people thinking we are sick. | AFP

Kris Jenner's jaw-dropping facelift at 69: meet the expert surgeon behind her ageless look
Kris Jenner recently debuted a younger looking face and all eyes are now on renowned plastic surgeon, Dr Steven Levine. Image: Instagram. Kris Jenner, the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner dynasty, has captured the internet's attention with a radical transformation that has tongues wagging and hashtags trending. Jenner's transformation has been labelled by some as the "surgery of the year", with fans keen to know who crafted this new visage that so closely resembles her 44-year-old daughter, Kim Kardashian. Her stylish appearance reportedly cost somewhere between $100 000 (R1.77m) and $200 000, still small change for the world's most successful momager. Jenner turns 70 in November, and we're sure this is an early birthday present to herself. The moment Jenner debuted her transformed face on Instagram, social media erupted. The hashtag #krisjennernewface has gone viral with over 57.5 million posts, showcasing an outpouring of reactions and discussions. Many netizens commented that she looks exactly like daughter Kim Kardashian, while others wrote: "That Dr needs his flowers 💐". Kris Jenner during her recent visit to Paris. Image: Instagram. Meet the doctor behind the transformation The "artist" responsible for this jaw-dropping aesthetic is none other than Dr Steven Levine, a renowned board-certified plastic surgeon based in New York City. Praised for his natural-looking enhancements, Levine has carved a niche within the plastic surgery realm for his ability to deliver subtle yet effective results. An insider confirmed to "Page Six" that he is indeed the mastermind behind Jenner's chic makeover. It is reported that Jenner called Levine directly, urging him to "name his price" to squeeze her in, despite his waitlist extending well into next year. Dr Steven Levine. Image: Instagram. The NYU Medical School graduate dedicated seven years to mastering the art of plastic surgery at his alma mater, later honing his skills in the practice of Dr Daniel C. Baker. Baker is another renowned plastic surgeon with nearly 50 years of experience. In 2019, Levine embarked on his own journey by opening a private practice and operating facility on Manhattan's Upper East Side. His services include a range of procedures from facelifts and rhinoplasties to body contouring and breast procedures. He is particularly admired for his ability to create natural-looking surgery results, a quality that resonates deeply with his celebrity clientele. According to an interview with "People" magazine in 2020, Levine confirmed that face procedures had a price tag of $45 000 and up. Meanwhile, Jenner is not alone in her choice of surgeon. Levine has worked on many high-profile faces, although he tends to remain discreet about his clientele. Rumour has it that he has done work on supermodels and A-listers such as Lindsay Lohan, Demi Moore, Christina Aguilera and possibly Brad Pitt, though these stars have not publicly confirmed any surgical procedures. Yet, there is no denying that all eyes are on him following Jenner's sensational transformation. As she continues to bask in the attention, one thing is certain: the Kardashian-Jenner clan always know how to make waves, and Jenner's latest metamorphosis is a testament to their ongoing influence.
