Hey gang,

I’m sorry to do this to you, but daddy is going away for a little bit. I know you must be scared, but just realise that it is very necessary as it will bring me us one step closer to global domination. You know how busy daddy gets.

I will be gone for just over two weeks and will return somewhere around the second week of August. But don’t fret, you’ll be hearing from me the whole way through – with a whole new angle. A Los Angeles angle!

In fact. Actually.

Let me fill you in: You’ll recall a few days ago I gave you the trailer (here) to that new Pauly Shore “mockumentary,” called ADOPTED, which was filmed predominantly in Cape Town. Remember the movie has to do with Pauly attempting to adopt an African child. Think Angelina and Madonna, but in a far more hysterical way (although those two are pretty hilarious in their own right).

ADOPTED, with Pauly Shore

I went to the premiere last night and suggest you go ASAP – it’s an absolute hoot. Ex Pats in the UK, US, Dubai and God knows where else will also get a major kick out of the visuals – everything from Camps Bay and Table Mountain, to game farms and orphanages.

So anyway, that movie is launching this week and Pauly Shore will be taking an ADULT African on a trial adoption in Los Angeles for a week. Because he can. The winner was announced on Radio 5 on Friday and it is none other than DJ Fresh lookalike, Zinzi Mangweni!

Take a good look at him, because that very same fully grown African man is going to be Pauly Shore’s child for a week. I know – can things get any more ridiculous?

Where do I fit in? Well I’ll be going with, my love! To report back – for YOU in the form of a daily video diary! Think 2oceansvibe Weather Girls (here, here, here, here and here) with Pauly Shore, gallivanting around the best and worst of LA’s shops, bars, restaurants, clubs, strip joints, ball games and house parties.

Yup, you heard me!

I leave today and will be setting things up a week ahead of Zinzi and the team’s arrival. Much fun to be had as LA is also home to all sorts of 2oceansvibe Characters, including The Advertising Guy, The Italian , Cokey Falkow and others. Nic Marais will be coming up from New York to spend time with the vibe as well.

Thanks to the Cape Royale for looking after me these past few days and taking care of my sweet suite while I’m away. Although I was only back for a couple weeks since my South of France 2009 Strengthening Ties Tour, I’m glad we managed to get that Jack Black Beer tap installed at the 1800 bar downstairs. Mmm, sweet sweet nectar! Matt Damon will be pleased.

With their stock of De Grendel wine in the fridges, that bar is complete and can finally get Seth’s seal of approval. Congratulations!

Chat later – articles will carry on as per usual, featuring everything from Los Angeles to Cape Town. Regulars will know to follow 2oceansvibe on Twitter (here ) for live updates along the way..

I want you inside me.
