to sports stars â so they took a drive to a parlour in Festival Mall in Kempton Park.
âWe trek out there and weâve made an appointment and Reeva didnât have the strongest stomach. The minute she sees blood, she starts to go woozy. We walked into the tattoo parlour, and it had a very sterile smell and immediately when she walked in, she started â¦â Samantha breathes deeply, mimicking her friendâs exasperated reaction. âI donât think she knew what she wanted and then eventually she decided on her grandfatherâs initials. The tattoo that she ended up getting was on her wrist and it was tiny. It was literally like pencil lines, three initials. I had to go and buy her Coke because she was feeling woozy and she sat looking away but itâs quite funny because after that she became a bit obsessed with tattoos.â
Reevaâs second tattoo was bold text across her back saying âOnly God can judgeâ in Italian, another nod to her grandfather who was of Italian heritage. The two tattoos illustrated her affection for her late grandfather, which was echoed in a tweet posted on 30 December 2012: âToday I wish I could pick up the phone and call my grandfather. He had the answers to everything! Who would you call that you canât now?â
The third tattoo was on her left ankle â cursive script reading âLionessâ to acknowledge her star sign, Leo. On Twitter she explained her choice with the hashtag
#projectink.
âAbundance and power are yours, for you are the lionessâ and âThe lionesses are the hunters for their pride and execute their skills with precision and complex teamworkâ, she tweeted.
Having broken up with Warren, with whom she had shared a flat, Reeva was looking for a new home. In mid-2011, she moved in with her close friend, make-up artist Gina Myers, and her family who live in a large facebrick and peach home in Sandringham. Gina had met Reeva six years previously while doing make-up for a fashion show at Fashion TV in Sandton. Reeva was interviewing her about her craft for FTV International. âShe then hired me for a job for the same company and later I saw her at a shoot where I did her make-up for her and it was inseparable from then.â
Ginaâs parents, Cecil and Desi, invited their daughterâs friend to live with them. âShe had to move out of her apartment and she had a whole bunch of shoots and she was going to Cape Town for work and she wasnât here much and she was already so much a part of our family that my dad and my mom said toher, âPlease, just move in with us, just for a couple of months. Youâre travelling so much youâre hardly going to be at home anyway, weâd love you to come stay with us.â It was so much fun. It was coffee together every single morning. Tea in bed every single night. It was really nice. It was a lot of fun.â
Reeva forged a tight bond with both Gina and her sister Kim, who affectionately referred to her as âAlfieâ. Gina giggles as she recounts why the name, a reference to a character from the classic comedy
The Little Rascals
, stuck: âWhenever she put her hair in a pony, she had these little pieces of hair that kept sticking out, itâs new hair growth, but they would never stay down. And the one night there was so much wind that all these pieces of hair were just flying everywhere, so I started calling her Alfalfa, and of course it shortened to Alfie and Alf.
Ginaâs mother, Desi Myers, speaks highly of Reeva and lauded her for âcooking for the family, always keeping her room spotless and always letting us know when she was coming home or not when she left the house, although she rarely stayed out overnight. Mostly Reeva stayed home, working on her computer, cleaning her room and bathroom. She went to various meetings during the day and a few events at night. I would say that other than the time she spent
