Table female contents : • The swenkas are Zulu migrant laborers living in Johannesburg’s poor areas who have been turning heads with their elegant style and dance skills since the mid 1900s. In the apartheid decades, swenking preserved Zulu culture and pride. The swenkas favoured a formal dress code inspired by jazz-age refinement. Their tailored suits came with brimmed hats and leather shoes, as well as a variety of accessories, including eyewear, gloves, braces and straw hats, and were displayed at fashion pageants that gathered fellow dandies and citizens as judges of style. On those occasions, the swenkas would display their ensembles with elaborate acts and special ‘moves’ aimed at calling attention to outfit details. The winner would receive money or, more rarely, a goat. After a period of near-disappearance, swenking has returned to inspire a performative aesthetic of formal, metropolitan menswear. In a Vicearticle, new affiliates are photographed in their favourite outfits of expensive Pierre Cardin suits and ties, Baker and Florsheim shoes, Cashini shirts. In 2004, the Danish filmmaker Jeppe Rønde released a documentary about these South African dappers, which is available online.

The World Cup finals ended two days ago, and I finally got a good night's sleep. I can finally say goodbye to the days when I have to wake up at 4am with dad to catch a match, and go back to my normal routine (... of sleeping at 4am instead)
After a nice World Cup-less night of sleep, I woke up and read some articles on Grantland(it's one of my favourite daily reads these days). Ever since my mom discontinued subscription to The Star newspapers earlier this year, the internet became my replacement for "things to read while having breakfast", after all, it's hard to kick off a routine that I had for more than twenty years.
