You rock, you fine musician fellow, you!<\/p>\n<p>You       know why Ian rocks? It&#8217;s because of his friends.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s invited me to       supper at a buddy of his. His sms to me read, &#8220;Supper tonight in       Seapoint. Assorted babeage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Holy moly. He understated. This is not       ASSORTED babeage. This is PRIME babeage. This is the whole nine yards.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s me, Ian, Ian&#8217;s girlfriend Anneke, and four single, unmarried, available&#8230; morsels, delicacies. Ayeeeeeeeeeee!!!<\/p>\n<p>On my right is Chantal, an architect. She&#8217;s going to be going to Australia in a month or two, to be with a boy she met while travelling. Lucky him! But in the interim, as far as I can tell, she&#8217;s living in the here and now.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting next to her is       Heather, a homeopath, living in Kalk Bay. Fairly quiet, dazzling.       Delicious, eat-me-now eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Next to Heather is Fotini, a Greek mega-goddess. This chick is sex on turbo charged pogo stick. Angular face, carved beauty. Lean, muscled. A kite surfer. And studying homeopathy.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mysite.mweb.co.za\/residents\/rb000004\/Fotini.jpg?resize=200%2C266\" alt=\"Fotini. Greek perfection. Angular beauty. Fit as a kite. Muscled and tiny. &quot;Oh no!!!&quot; she says. &quot;Do I really look that haggard??? It's a good artwork, Roy, but you really don't make women look very beautiful, do you?&quot;\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" height=\"266\" hspace=\"6\" vspace=\"6\" width=\"200\" \/>And then there&#8217;s Mariane, curly blonde hair, a satin sarong wrapped casually over her eligible hips, unfortunately marred by the fact that its winter in Cape Town, meaning she&#8217;s wearing jeans under the sarong instead of just a g-string or nothing. She&#8217;s also a homeopath, practising in Paarl.<\/p>\n<p>Ian&#8217;s       girlfriend is a lawyer, and she&#8217;s got long, straight blonde hair, and       she&#8217;s a total slinky being too.<\/p>\n<p>Sigh.<\/p>\n<p>And the conversation is hot.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re talking about sex, and Ian and I are doing our best to be sincere communicators of the male experience. What we&#8217;re really doing is a propaganda job, selling the idea that we&#8217;re simply the most astounding male beings they&#8217;ve ever encountered. And of course, I&#8217;m drawing whoever I can, and taking phone numbers and email addresses as a pretext for contacting them.<\/p>\n<p>Chantal looks at my sketch of Heather, and asks for a turn. Seeing as she&#8217;s an architect and all, I hand over the palmtop, and show her how to use the drawing software. She pumps out a quick portrait of me, and exclaims that she wants a palmtop like mine. But she&#8217;s saving as much as she can for Australia, so she probably won&#8217;t be buying one. But hey&#8230; if I can persuade her to buy a palmtop, maybe she won&#8217;t go to Australia, and then she&#8217;ll ditch the thug she&#8217;s going to meet, and maybe I&#8217;ll stand a chance? <\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">Roy Blumenthal is a writer, director, artist, and <a href=\"http:\/\/snipurl.com\/visualfacilitator\">visual facilitator<\/a>.
