WHO IS HURRICANEVANESSA?
Vanessa Raphaely is Editor of South African Cosmopolitan and Editorial Director of Associated Magazines, publishers of Marie Claire, O, The Oprah Magazine and House and Leisure. As she suspects she might be too old to be (mostly) dreaming up new names for the same 5 sex positions as a profession, she also blogs as HurricaneVanessa.

Nice Blog.
Looking forward to reading your updates.

Love it! But I don’t think you’re old enough to NOT be thinking of new sex positions.
I’d love to keep informed via twitter whenever you update your blog….hope to see your tweets soon…
Awesome. More comments from guys than girls on your blog. So far

LOVE it.

v funny. However, would point out that your web address is http://www.hurricanevanessa.wordpress.com, not http://www.hurricanevanessa.com, which is hardly snappy.
Great blog! I’m a loyal fan of cosmo for many different reasons namely; I’m an aspiring editor in the making and cosmo appeals to all of me and that’s what one wants & needs in a magazine. I’ll be a regular visitor to see what you have to offer on the blog, thus far – I’M HOOKED!
Wink wink!
I have HurricaneVanessa as one of my homepages, so I read it at least once a day, but alas, no updates today. mmm…:-(
Refreshing

This is more than a weather phenomenon. I love it!! and I am sure any position you take on sex will help us to take it off.

Been a regular reader of 2oceansvibe and baglett and am happy to add this blog to my daily repetoire! Quality work, quality content!
A change is as good as a holiday.
Never TOO old Vanessa–lovely blog–could get quite used to this! I may not have to read quite as many mags/newspapers/search internet anymore as I do–you’ve done it all for me!
How cheering to read Vanessa’s comments on Malema, motherhood, sex, shoes,celebs.
I love your editorial in COSMO, main reason I buy it. Acerbic and funny!
Thanks for being receptive, understanding and sweet about “Did I Say That?”.
Sexy-humorous-Fabulous
P.s I read your blog religiously everyday..what was i thinking leaving my screen open for all of the ‘open office’ to see when the post of the day was: “Horny Virgina,Weed capsules…” LMAO u can imagine the stared eyes across the room that day.
Vanessa, isn’t there some way we could possibly upload a kind of “profile pic” for ourselves when we leave comments, etc?
Um. I can barely operate the basics of my blog, but will ask Jani, our Digital whizz to have a look and see what she can suggest.
Thanks so much for all the comments, it’s nice to know that there are people out there!

Fantastic blog! Love the updates on twitter! You get me through the day Vanessa! Thank you!
as a fan and a follower of cosmopolitan, i still feel as theres something lacking on the magazine, i have brilliant ideas of which i think i should run through your mind vanessa maybe we can agree to disagree.
i will be delightful if you get back to me due to my ideas.
my details are as follows: mbalydlamni@gmail.com

Your blog has grown to be a daily dose of escapism…You make hard work look effortless and that’s talent! Multi-tasking master.
Respect:)

Vanessa!
It’s so wonderful to bump into your storm!
Have you noticed that the best things in life starts with a S:
Sport, Shopping, Sushi, and Sex
See you in Israel

Check out the (relatively?) new Calvin Klein X ad… it’s pretty awesome!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEtmQIRTYlk
Hi,
It’s annoyed me for ages – could you update the spelling of Mamma Mia under your blogroll to mamamia? thanks!
I will certainly try, but my grasp of the mechanics of the blog is just about as dodgy as my grasp on grammar and spelling.
Thanks for pointing it out!

Done, I think!
And delighted to remember that that entry was done by a techie who was trying to explain to me how to DIY.
Thanks again.
thank you! i didn’t think you’d read the comment!
