Kristel Loots

Kristel Loots bly knus agter die boereworsgordyn in die Kaap. Sy luister na die stories om haar en skryf graag oor die vroue wat sy hier – en elders – raakloop. “Gewone” voorstedelike vroue, soms met voorskote om die geronde heupe, ander tye weer modieuse stadsbewoners in stylvolle stiletto’s wat vir niks skrik nie. Of oor “anderste” vroue, verskillende vroue, vroue met issues. Want menswees en veral vrouwees en die vele fasette daarvan fassineer haar. Vroue is stunning en dikwels die hoeksteen wat huis en haard aanmekaar hou en elke vrou het ’n storie.

Chris Carter

Biographies can be an absolute drag, so I won’t bore anyone with a long life story.

I was born in Brasilia, Brazil where I spent my childhood and teenage years. After graduating from high school, I moved to the USA where I studied psychology with specialization in criminal behaviour. During my University years I held a variety of odd jobs, ranging from flipping burgers to being part of an all male exotic dancing group.

I worked as a criminal psychologist for several years before moving to Los Angeles, where I swapped the suits and briefcases for ripped jeans, bandanas and an electric guitar. After a spell playing for several well known glam rock bands, I decided to try my luck in London, where I was fortunate enough to have played for a numbe
