Trevor Stuurman | South African IT Bloggers x According To Jerri

The exciting zesty flavour in the South African fashion and style scene the flavour  that is more potent, more nasal passage cutting and influential in Cape Town. He is rail size frail skinny, cutesy and might be still finding ground in the cut throat scene. Hard work and street cred paid off maybe earlier than expected for him or not. Everyone wanted his current job; even if it meant discrediting and playing dirty ugly to achieve their dream job of being a £5,730 Chanel lego box clutch bag corridor throw away from Jackie Burger’s office. In the end he prevailed (only he really knows how) and the water works burst out – the same water-works some of us only limit to urine and sweat - at the celebration of his gig appointment. Is it not that fabulous some diva get thrown a whole soiree and celebrated for a new job, isn’t that just LUXE! TrevorStuurman guurls and Chirl let us find out what Miss Thang is about…
