It's a Woman's World Series 1
Camilla Andersen seeks out some fantastic female companionship for her latest tour of the globe. Starting out in South Africa, Camilla is soon jealously witnessing a much more glamorous side to TV presenting than she is used to as she hangs out with ex-Miss South Africa Jo-Ann Strauss. However, forced in front of the lens with model Lee Simon, Camilla soon wishes to be out of the spotlight. Moving on to Johannesburg, Camilla meets Yvonne Chaka Chaka, the Princess of Africa and hears what happened when Nelson Mandela dropped by. The Philippines sees Camilla donning maid's outfits, ballet leotards and ten-pin bowling shoes while she meets some delightful Philippinas in the country's capital, Manila. Whilst in Turkey, Camilla continues her new found dressing up fetish by enrolling in a belly dancing school before meeting one of the only female Whirling Dervishes. Finishing up in her spiritual home of Jamaica, Camilla takes the opportunity to learn some bump and grind and electric slide moves. Sensational dancehall diva and actress Cherine Anderson then takes Camilla to the studio to see her in action with legendary Sly Dunbar from Sly and Robbie. Let's hear it for the ladies.
