Really? Wow!

Sobhar Claremont

Being the ever popular Cape Town socialite and D-list celebrity (recently promoted from the dark, depressing abyss of the E-list) I’m often bombarded with functions and invites, like last week when I was invited to the opening of the new Engen in Claremont.

This also means I get a large assortment of text messages from a wide array of bars, pubs and rotary clubs (strange but true). Sobhar is one such establishment, regularly sending me messages on a weekly basis, despite my best efforts to remove myself from their mailing list. Normally upon receiving one of their messages, I let out a silent scream, slowly die inside, and then delete it from my phone.

This recent one however, caught my eye:

Unbranded live at Sobhar tonight with lots of drinks specials (think… Tequila) and tomorrow night DJ’s, give aways and hot single bar staff….

Come again?

Now besides the fact that they’re proudly boasting about their “hot single bar staff”, it’s the elipses (….) at the end that really makes this message stand out from the crowd.

It’s sort of left hanging there in a flirtatious, snooze-and-you-will-lose manner, you KNOW whoever wrote this thought they were being very clever and suggestive.

So come on then ladies, what are you waiting for? You better get down to Sobhar in Claremont tonight (It’s Friday!) and snare yourself one of these prized hot, single bar staff members right now!
