Are you man enough?
MANCAVES: CELEBS TALK ABOUT THEIR PERFECT SPOTS
It’s a guy thing this weekend.
Montecasino’s Piazza and Bell Tower grassy area will be the male equivalent of Shangri-La thanks to A Guy Thing this weekend. This exciting showcase is all about braai, beards and the best gadgets for men (but if you love guys, there might be something in it for you too – don’t worry).
You can expect celebs making their way to A Guy Thing. Couples Hildegardt Whites (from 7de
Laan) and Cuba Silkiewicz, singer Daniel Baron (who just launched his album Weekend of Mass Destruction) and Sam de Bruin, as well as soccer star Matthew Booth and entrepreneur Sonia.
THE MEN WERE TASKED TO ANSWER
1. The best drink for your mancave? 2. Two movies everyone entering your mancave will have to watch? 3. What is mancave etiquette? 4. Best mancave conversation starters? 5. Two things not allowed in your mancave?
WOMEN HAD TO SPILL ON
1. Your favourite thing about a mancave? 2. What mancave shenanigans won’t you tolerate? 3. While he’s being a man – how to you spoil yourself? 4. Best thing about him having a mancave? 5. What personal touches will you include in his mancave?
HILDEGARDT AND KUBA Kuba
1. Beer 2. Snatch, and at least one full Bil- ly Connolly stand-up show. 3. Don’t be a hipster. 4. My guys and I, we don’t start conversations, only continue where we left off. 5. Hipsters and hipster sympathisers.
Hildegardt
1. The best thing about a MC is, now there is more shopping time for me. 2. No sleepovers. 3. Visit my favourite beauty salon for massages and then, of course, shoe shopping.
4. You don’t have to pretend you know what they are talking about. For example, my husband and his bestie love fishing. I mean, enough said.
5. I would put all my husband’s favourite things in his mancave. Being into performing arts I would put all the posters of all the shows he has done. I just know he would love that.
DANIEL AND SAM Daniel
1. A good aged Cognac or some real beer. 2. The Matrix Trilogy and The Doors 3. Long beards encouraged. The ladies can visit, but can’t stay for longer than five minutes. Farting allowed but must be preluded with a 30 second verbal warning (eg. “Guys, I’m about to drop a bomb.”). Good music must be played at all times. (By this I mean I must approve of the song choice). 4. What are your thoughts on the guitar solo in Pink Floyd’s Coming Back To Life? 5. No working allowed and no diet, fat-free foods or salads allowed.
Sam
1. Sound-proof walls for the extreme bass and crisp sound of my favourite songs and movies. 2. I definitely won’t tolerate the “dropping of a bomb” unless it’s going to rhyme to my favourite song and smell like glitter-covered donuts. Jasmine Green Tea. 3. I will invite my ladies over and plot a way to prank the men in the mancave. 4. His laughter and mischievous face before he enters his mancave and when he exits. The stories I manage to squeeze out of him after his boys have left (there are ways and means).
5. A lifesize unicorn (yes, they exist).
