SHOWING OFF SEXY SINGLES IN THEIR BEST LIGHT
Sometimes when it’s cold, and you feel lonely, you probably
ask yourself – ‘Is there any joy to being single?’ That’s if you’re
single of course. If not, you snuggle up warmly to your lover,
smile smugly to yourself, and spare a fleeting thought for those
poor sods who must endure the loneliness of singledom over
the chilly winter months.
But, there are joys to being single: your romantic future is wide open, as
you eagerly anticipate Mrs, or Mr, Right galloping, shining armour and all,
out of a shimmering, sepia dream and into the bright, full-colour light of
reality. And if that doesn’t happen, then 94.7 Highveld Stereo can help
out. First they gave South Africa the Xmas Wish, doling out cash and love
to those who deserve it most. Now they’ve taken pity on South African
singles (the sexy ones); together with Virgin Atlantic, they’ve put together
the Singles Shack-up Party - a competition in which the winners of a sexy
singles competition are flown to the hottest parties in the country.
The second such event took place on 1 August at Katy’s Palace Bar, a
unique rooftop venue in Kramerville, Sandton. By all accounts it was a riproaring success that saw many a sexy single find true love and pictures.
They say the difference between erotica and smut is the lighting, and
hence the importance of getting the lighting just right for the Singles
Shack-up Party. When you need to strike the perfect balance between
romance and raunch; and when you need lighting that is unforgettable,
unique and flawless, look no further than Pristine Moods Productions.
They’re a Gauteng based event production company who have been
tasked with doing the lighting (and other technical requirements) for the
Singles Shack-up Parties.
Lior Manelis, the driving force behind Pristine Moods Productions, took
it upon himself to ensure the Singles Shack-up Party at Katy’s Palace Bar
exuded the ambience for amour. When it comes to getting the lights just
right Lior swears by his Martins: “Martins made the party pop! The colours
and the programming, from a lighting design perspective, turned those
sexy singles into outright belters.”

Any particular belter take your fancy Lior? “No, {laughs}, I only have eyes
for my beautiful wife – but if I had to choose I’d say the belle of the ball was
the Martin Rush Beam”. Trust a techie to get hot for his gear. “This was the
first time I’ve used Martin Rush Beams, and they’re phenomenal: hands
down the best in breed, and the best value for money.”
A last word please Lior: “We always enjoy excellent customer service from
Electrosonic SA; and, the package of a great product, along with first class
service, has nudged me towards buying some Martin RUSH Beams.”

PARTY ISLAND
Seychelles may be the smallest state in Africa (population 90 called Robbi Nassi for advice and finally decided to stick to the reliable
000), but when it comes to partying – they’re right up there Martins to get the job done.
