As they interview someone who is "Bok Befok" [permalink]
CNN did very well the other day when they interviewed this colourful individual ahead of the last week's rugby international against Italy.
Bok Befok
For our international readers who weren't taught this particular dialect, Afrikaans; the wording on the gent's face can be translated directly into English, and means, "Fucked for the Springboks." That's what is means. "Fok" means "Fuck." Straight.
And you can't say that I'm being rude, because, you know, it was on CNN!
Today felt like the kind of Friday that everyone would be playing along with the aforementioned and agreed upon Cape Town Friday Rule. I was so confident of the feeling I had, that I woke up and went for the CLASSIC "secret cloud technique." You know the one: when you have a joint BEFORE you shower and change for the day. So you don't smell of weed and, with a small dose of eyedrops, no-one can tell the difference. Leaving YOU with an awesome day ahead of you! And I tell you what, that's EXACTLY what I've been having!
First port of call was Vida e in Camps Bay, where Losh put together one of nature's finest Cappucino's for me. I basked in the sun on the pavement as I skimmed over today's Cape Times school project. It was cutely written and most notable was the article mentioning the fact that the Pope does not wear Prada, as previously reported. The Vatican responded to these claims and summerised with the quote, "The Pope, in summary, does not wear Prada, but Christ." Interesting. Knowing how much money The Vatican has, one would assume this brand is something of a bespoked, high-end exclusive tailor. I've never seen any of Christ's range, but will admit that The Pope certainly does have a dapper vibe going.
I hit the road and continued The Cape Town Super Circuit. It seems other people had not embraced this day in the same way as me, and the road was saturated with bad energy. Most notable was the unprecendented sighting of not one, but TWO pretty fierce road accidents. One outside Caprice and one outside the Sea Point pool. I think I know some people who haven't been managing their karma very well.
Cop bike stuck under car
Not ideal
It's just too Hectique! for me. These nasty Friday moments further enhanced my need for a car and driver. Of course, the notion would need to be followed through properly. I remembered today's R750 million lottery jackpot and drove my car, possibly for the last time, directly to Future Exotics!
Whilst Cape Town's number one coffee outlet, Vida e, has some outstanding views at the Camps Bay branch, I thoroughly enjoyed this view as I sipped a cappucino at the Future Exotics store at the Waterfront. I can confirm that I have found the first toy I will be buying once I've won the R750 million. I took a little pic for you. Please enjoy the Rolls Royce Phantom with me.
The 2008 Rolls Royce Phamtom
V12 7.6L
0-100km/h in 5.9sec
Mmm, I like that, and so will YOU when I pick you up in it. At only R4.4 million it would be foolish not to snap this up. I had a good look at this baby and noted the blinds inside the back windows. ACTUAL blinds. Old school. My style. The staff at Future Exotics were also VERY MUCH my style and I can confirm they have the hottest staff out of any shop in Cape Town. FACT. I'd definitely recommend stopping by for a coffee and a perve *ahem* of the cars.
That was more than enough. I finished my cappucino, skipped the rest of the Cape Town Super Circuit, came back to the Safe House and bought 5 more tickets to the lottery.
Is that what we're going to do? We're just going to cruise along and act as though one of the biggest jackpots in living memory is not taking place today. Ja, that makes sense. Let's just not shell out a couple of bucks to stand in line to win today's R750 million TRIPLE ROLLOVER PlayEuroMillions jackpot. Not very clever.
I worked out that you could buy virtually the whole of Clifton's famous Nettleton Road. Is THAT not a good thing? Check out this highly sought after property, once occupied by Nicolas Cage, available on Clifton's Nettleton Road.
Do you LIKE working your ass off? Do you WANT to deal with annoying bosses and clients?
NOT entering the lottery as basically admitting that you enjoy being shat on and abused and, if that's the case, fine. Enjoy it. Hopefully you'll get some leave saved up and join me on the private island. I'll send my plane to fetch you. That's IF you get time off from your Hectique work life.
You gotta be innit to winnit, my friends. No one has ever been seen to be "wasting" money when buying lottery tickets. A guy in Austria won $56million in March. With one ticket.
It was a couple weeks back that we chatted about that guy in the yellow leather pant and red headband (a la Karate Kid) who is something of a Cape Town phenomenon (first featured in 2005). You might remember I mentioned the fact that he had even been spotted dancing on the roof of his BMW 645 CSi. Yes, that's the one. Well anyway, I was waltzing through the myriad of emails I receive on a daily basis from you, my cherished readers, and I found this little PEARLER!
Spice master pledges to "rock out" for the rest of time
This shot you see here was sent in by Damon P and lo and behold, it features our boy in that very same yellow leather pant - exactly the same ones that he was wearing a couple weeks back. The only difference is this pic was taken three years ago. The guy is quite fortunate that yellow leather pant never go out of fashion.
I want to highlight the fact that his sawn-off vest has a tiger print of sorts on the front. But, far more importantly, are the eyes of the tiger - far more prominently observed in this second photo of this series, featuring SA rocker and friend of 2oceansvibe, Justin Berg!
Justin Berg "rocks out" with the diminutive spice master
Notice how the vest is all black and white, except for those tiger eyes. Staring at you, through you. It's like he is the tiger.
Pretty radical stuff we are witnessing right here on 2oceansvibe. And that's what we'll keep doing to you - lifting you up, continuously, keeping you on the edge of your seat.
I see. Interesting. I prefer Celine to occupy one box in my brain and that is the semi-gay and sing like a chick in your car box. Songs like Think Twice which include that part (at the 03:18 mark) where Celine shouts [drum roll] "Don't say what you're 'bout to say ..... NO, NO, NO, NO!!"
You get the picture.
You'll be interested to note that Shania Twain has also covered the AC/DC anthem. That little rendition can be seen here (as we are simultaneously reminded how gorgeous Shania is. Good Lord). Then I also found a cool duet of the same song with AC/DC and Steve Tyler.
Ok, there there you have it.
Oh, I guess this is as good a time as any to tell you that the song Crazy (originally by Gnarls Barkley) has been covered by The Violent Femmes!
As we investigate "The Magic Hour" again at The Point gym [permalink]
So I took my ape to the gym today for another treadmill session (second day in a row, I might add) and unbeknownst to me, it was a time of the week that I had previously discussed on 2oceansvibe. That's right, I had already dubbed Tuesday 1pm to 2pm "The Magic Hour" at the Virgin Active gym in Green Point.
Well, I'll tell you what, there were fewer supermodels rolling around this time, but I noticed that the redhead twins were in the house - both working the climbing machines. I've mentioned them before and am yet to work out any regularity in their schedule. What I can highlight, however, is the fact that they have lifted their game ever so slightly. Now they're packing lollipops!
Ja, you heard me, they're sucking on lollipops WHILST they're training! BOTH OF THEM! Sucking on RED LOLLIPOPS! Can you cope?
Lollipops at gym - definitely the way forward
I'm as close as I can get to being speechless and must make mention that, whilst the lack of supermodels is a bit of a let down, this whole new lollipop sucking vibe is very much encouraged. For ALL girls.
And a warm welcome to Melissa! Thanks for joining us.
For those of you who don't know, Melissa has modelled for a number of publications and brands, not least of which include Revlon and the US Sports Illustrated. Nice. Melissa has also appeared on the hit TV show Entourage, as well as the film Something's Gotta Give. Good work, angel.
Now, on a far more serious note, let's get a visual overview of Melissa.
We've had a fewButlerspizzadriversightings of late and, in a very exciting twist, I have just received this little beauty sent in by Stu B.
4,000 deliveries deserves a celebration
Hey Seth,
I know you love a well experienced butler but on Saturday night we landed this legend with over 4000 deliveries and still up for a good sip of rum while on duty!
Good man...
Stu B
Superb work, Stu! My only concern is that the guy is a Butlers Pizza driver and he is downing a bottle of rum. Is that not alarming? I mean, doesn't he have to drive a car? I doubt he is using Good Fellas to help him deliver pizzas!
I sent the info through to Butlers Head Office and received a response from Big Cheeser Bob regarding their policy on these issues.
In short, it seems the butler in question is an old pro and with 4,000 missions under his cummerbund, is equipped with a certain level of wisdom. Big Cheeser Bob informed me that drivers will only imbibe liquor and other mind altering substances when their bow tie is removed and they have completed their final mission for the night. A quick look at the sighting above proves this point. Good work guys!
I actually recall a few weeks back where a butler brought some pizzas round to a party I was at and the guys applied enough peer pressure to get the guy to down some red wine out of a bottle. The butler was next to me and I watched closely as he swigged the bottle, not allowing a single drop to pass his lips.
Mr Playboy : Hugh Hefner and the American Dream [permalink]
I saw a mention on iol today about a new Hugh Hefner book that is about to be released. It's written by Steven Watts and Hefner claims it to be "the most authoritative book ever written about me - it's all essentially true."
That's great. Just great. God, that logo brings back memories. Given that Hugh Hefner's life was loosely based on mine, I've always taken a keen interest in his movements and his famous publication. I remember once, at the age of 12, trying to convince my mother to subscribe to the overseas Playboy Magazine on my behalf, as I had a keen interest in their car/auto section. She would had none of it. It was then that I started to work on the blueprint for 2oceansvibe.
Let's see what else they had to say about this book.
In the book, Watts writes: "A foursome did happen with his brother, Keith, and his wife, Rae, one evening. But while Millie, Hugh’s first wife, ultimately backed out of having sex with Keith, Hugh slept with his sister-in-law."
Watts also alleges Hugh – who currently lives with three girlfriends at the Playboy mansion in Los Angeles – once had homosexual sex.
He continues: "Hefner's thirst for sexual experience became so strong that he even had a one-time homosexual experience. One evening in downtown
Chicago he was propositioned and he thought, 'What the hell!' As far as I know, the guy just gave him oral sex."
Good Lord! Hugh got off quite lightly. We had a guy at school that sucked a guy's dick to get into the "cool gang" in standard 3. The incident never left him - for the whole of school. Even when he left junior school. He went into the high school and the story continued. He was always "the guy that sucked that other guy's cock." It fucked his head up. Fact. And he didn't even get accepted into the cool gang after completing the life altering dare!
Actually, come to think of it, the guy who's dick he sucked, got away with it completely! Just like Hugh Hefner did! Interesting!
It's been a while since I wanted something so much. Please join me in celebrating this symbol of over-celebration. With 40 pairs of mirrored aviator shades surrounding the lamp, it is both beautiful and hysterical at the same time.
And sexual. There is definitely something sexual about it.
That, my friends, is RADICAL! This is what they're saying about it.
Iconic and original, inspired by the stars who rarely shun their shades in public, the Celebrity lamp has found a new use for aviator glasses, eyes and light switching their usual sides.
The lamp shade is made of 40 pairs of mirrored aviator glasses and rests on a shiny, linear stand, featuring an amusing temple light switch.
When it is turned off, the lamp becomes an amazing silver sculpture, reflecting 80 times its surroundings. Switched on, the lenses become translucent and cast a kaleidoscope of oval shadows on the surrounding walls for a unique sophisticated ambiance.
It costs R13,000 and can be bought online from Deeply Madly Living. They've listed it at $1,600 and I doubt that the price includes shipping to the R of SA. Not that it'll make a difference after you win this week's TRIPLE ROLLOVER jackpot of R750,000,000 (yes, that is seven hundred and fifty million Rand) up for grabs at PlayEuroMillions.
Check how cool the lamp is when turned on, like I am right now.
2oceansvibe favourite and world #1 goes through to second round [permalink]
2oceansvibe favourite, Ana Ivanovic, has cleaned up the first round and has taken her beautiful 6" 1 frame one step closer to winning this year's WimbledonChampionships.
Shades of Princess Charlotte.Fine with that.
Following her recent French Open win, this will be an incredible accomplishment for someone so easy on the eye. History has shown that it is very rare for beautiful female tennis players to win back-to-back tournaments. They're almost always quite revolting!
Here is a pic of Ana's fans in Belgrade upon her victorious return home.
I enjoyed briefly lying to my mates when I showed them an advert on the net with a Brazilian chick in it, with my name tattooed on her shoulder. I said she was an ex of mine but I axed her when she started getting a little psychotic.
Here is a screen shot from the ad.
Ja, you like that, don't you?
Why don't you go and do it yourself, with your name? I think that would just be the cherry on top, don't you reckon? Great fun for the whole family!
Follow these simple, yet stylish instructions:
Whilst acutely aware of the atrocities and decay Zimbabwe has suffered at the hands of Robert Mugabe, one is forgiven when noting the hilarity displayed by the country's delusional leader.
Following his banning of any marketing or mention on Zimbabwean TV of the opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangiraiof the MDC; and in his Hitleresque distribution of patronising propoganda, our boy has taken things to a whole new level. In a new ad running on Zim's number 1 TV channel, viewers are presented with the faces of Mugabe's Western nemeses - Bush, Blair and Brown, morphing from one to the other, settling on the image of Morgan Tsvangirai; with text on the screen asking, "Is this the president you want?"
Jesus, this guy is on another level.
The morphing technique is produced using a computer software programme that you could easily download off the internet, which can morph ANY image into ANY other image. And Mugabe is saying that it's no coincidence that the four men look alike! Hilarious! I could put something together that could morph an image of my penis into the face of 5FM's DJ Fresh. And I could argue that it is no coincidence that Fresh is a cock.
But I won't. Why risk the misinterpretation that my penis is a contrived naive narcissist?
Another rare double rollover gives us half a billion Rand [permalink]
We've been through this before, team. This is a very big vibe. This is not some wank off local lottery for a couple million Rand. This is HALF A BILLION RAND! There is hardly ANYTHING that you won't be able to buy. Ever! Our cyclist friends out there will be very interested to know that, with that money, they will be able to buy 3,646 of these 24ct gold bicycles. The most expensive bicycles in Europe. They cost R150,000 each.
That's how it should be done on the Atlantic Seaboard
Stunning! That's what I'd buy if I was buying a bicycle. Although very valuable and expensive, I doubt it would cater for the light-weight frame market that seems all important in the bizarre world of psycho cyclists.
Personally, I'm having a look at this little number.
Sick!
Ja, you like that? It's cheap as well. $20,000,000 to be exact. What's that in Rands? R159,000,000? PLEASE, man, I'll LAUGH at that! I'll still have R388,000,000 left over. For shits and giggles. For champagne and other supplies. For my Ferraris and friends that I'll buy. Listen to this:
The property is located on the beautifully scenic Orcas Island, the largest of the San Juan Islands in Washington. This estate spans 161 acres and includes six separate tax parcels with six houses, six drilled wells, three cabins, a cookhouse, shops, garages, barns and other outbuildings. The land has a total of e approximately 3,200' of shoreline and comes with a deepwater, drive-on pier, a float and two boathouses with a workshop. The island can be reached by private boat, ferry or plane.
It comes with a serious pad on the island as well. Check it out.
Just chilling..
Oh, VERY nice! See more pics and find out more about this island and house that YOU will buy here.
It's too easy to be happy these days! But remember, you very seriously need to be in it to win it. Think how easy it is to buy a ticket. The problem is that it is just as easy to NOT buy a ticket. That's your decision. As long as you're fine going to bed every night thinking, what if? I certainly can't handle that kind of pain.
Don't forget that with lotteries of this size, you'll often win small amounts which are more than enough to bankroll your next entries the following week. That's what I do.
The world's biggest and most famous dope dealer [permalink]
Firstly, yes, I have neglected you. But, as usual, I need to make it infinitely clear that I feel your pain. When I am doing things around Cape Town and the Atlantic Seaboard, keeping things in the right vibe, for you; WE will sometimes suffer thru these brief moments of silence. But, as I said, it IS always worth it - for the future vibe.
So, ja, I just needed to make that clear. But you knew that anyway, because I can feel you inside me. You're hurting, as I am, but I know you understand.
Howard Marks, the man who gave us the book, MR NICE, is in Cape Town! This is a BIG deal, believe you me.
Check this out:
For 2 nights only, Howard Marks, ex m16 agent and formerly the world’s biggest dope dealer, will host an engagement. At the height of his career he was smuggling up to 50 tons of Marijuana and had contact with organisations as diverse as the CIA, the IRA and the Mafia. These special South African shows will feature the best-selling author and award-winning columnist talking about his remarkable experiences, reading from his autobiography and answering your questions.
This is, quite simply, NOT to be missed. Those of you who have read his book will know his story. This guy has seen it all and done it all. At the height of the dope dealing part of his life, Howard went as far as MAKING UP A ROCK BAND and "toured" around the world, so as to smuggle weed and hash in the band gear and speakers. He came up with this idea after noticing that rock groups' equipment wasn't really checked at airports. Genius!
Howard Marks

What a great moment in time!
If you haven't read Howard's book (muffled mocking laughter), you can buy it online as well.
At the risk of sounding like a poof, I ordered some skin products over the "internet" the other day. Some of the older 2oceansvibe readers will recall my 2006 Badedas article, in which I explained my mother's and my obsession and quest for life's finer products. Much like mother dearest, my skin is on the sensitive side and shuns anything but mother nature's purest ingredients. Being an only-child raised in a home with 1,000 antique porcelain dolls, a fleet of Yorkshire Terriers and a couple of ducks (we've never mentioned the ducks before and I CANNOT, for the life of me, understand why I never mentioned them. I completely forgot about the very real genuine fuckshow that was the duck chapter of my life. In brief, my mother had these fucking ducks that shat EV ERY WHERE! She thought it would add a cool tranquil farm-like laid back vibe to the fountain (with cherubs) and the herb garden and the plunge pool, but it was, in fact, a COMPLETE muffshow! There is so much to say, but this was just meant to be a quick mention, in brackets. I can, however, confirm that the deceptively cute little duck phase ended incredibly abruptly one day when my aunt and her entourage arrived with their brak (mix breed) dog , called, ...wait for it...."Chocolate." The dog was brown in colour. Get it? Chocolate ran directly through the house and into the back garden whilst everyone was greeting each other and pouring aunty Pam a gin (filled up with soda water, with a DASH of Diet Coke). Everyone was about to chill out and try some of aunty Pam's stuffed eggs, when we heard a shriek come from the garden. A human shriek so shrill and haunting that we are all, since birth, instinctively aware of its interpretation. It could only be one thing - murder. Chocolate had blood all over his revolting snout, and there was a duck bleeding from it's neck on the ground. Oh my God, well you can only imagine the ensuing drama. Christ. There were tears everywhere. Chocolate was beaten, all the guests left, the the duck was buried, flowers were delivered, the other duck nearly died from pining over its late friend ("they mate for life, you know!") etc etc. Two words : FUCK SHOW. Ja, so anyway, I'm amazed that this is the first time I've mentioned those fucking ducks) certainly didn't HELP the situation.
That said, I ordered some face-wash and moisturiser from Garden Route Organic the other day (www.gardenrouteorganic.com) after an organic obsessed friend told me about it.
The package arrived yesterday.
Garden Route Organic - stunning!
Wow! Full marks for packaging! - as I opened the box to reveal the tissue-wrapped products in a bed of wood shavings! Not since our Standard 9 field trip to Geelbek with "Odd Job" had I felt so close to nature! I hid the box from the girls in the office and packed it away to take back to the Safe House where I could try it all out during and after a candle-lit bath with Santana and Citizen Cope's Sideways playing in the background. Mmm.. then I'll seduce myself..
And that's exactly what I did! I won't go into detail but I can tell you that the results were just too impressive not to warrant a mention. The face wash had tea tree in it and I can honestly and confidently say that I don't use my blemish stick nearly half as much as I used to!
You might want to check these guys out. It's natural. It's local. It's so good for you and it's reasonably priced. Plus, you can order online!
This Miley Cyrus incident actually happened a few weeks back, but iol only reported it today. They might also want to look into that whole moon landing thing - that was pretty big. Nonetheless, I couldn't bear the thought of you not knowing what pictures the publication was referring to in their article (a very odd concept, I might add).
Here you go. It's hardly the end of the world. She might be 15 but she's not showing any less than you see the kids wearing on the beach in summer. If anything, I think we should be addressing that little tummy that is forming. Could everyone agree to keep an eye on that, please? Ta.
The 15 year old Hannah Montana star and daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus is no stranger to controversy. These pics surfaced after a risque shoot taken for Vanity Fair magazine, by acclaimed photographer, Annie Leibovitz.
She said: "I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed. I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologise to my fans who I care so deeply about."
The Disney Channel, who broadcast Hannah Montana, also criticised the magazine, saying: "Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines."
Here's the pic from Vanity Fair, taken by Annie Leibovitz.
Get the right address with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 3 garages! [permalink]
Come on, now! It's too easy to be a rock star these days!
So many people tell me that they want to move over to the Atlantic Seaboard but it's too expensive and all they want is "an old place that needs attention and is renting for cheap."
Well, whoever you are, THIS IS IT!
Instant rock star!
Give me a break, man! This place is like a Clifton landmark! I did some investigating and it is ON VICTORIA ROAD - directly opposite Cape Town's most expensive address - the Eventide apartment block.
Are you getting this?
Clifton 2nd beach is a 2 minute walk away! Stop it now!
This place is PERFECT for a bunch of young 20-somethings to share. It's got 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 3 garages! A garage down the road sold for a bar the other day!
Look, the place needs attention - but that's why it's going for R16,500 a month. Who cares, when you've got views like this!
It's too easy!
Have you even the FAINTEST clue as to the kind of action you get when you have a pad like this? If you can't work that out then you shouldn't be here.
It even includes a separate apartment which would be PERFECT for anyone with a small home office.
I'm not going to go on about it. You're a horse and I've led you to some water. Only you can make yourself drink.
Drink, be smart, drive home and look cool - all at the same time! [permalink]
I was once again amused the other night when we went to Chris Rock. The Lawyer and G-Man went with me to the event in my car and attended the VIP after party held at the same venue (Grand West) afterwards. As with most of these VIP after parties, booze was on tap and it wasn't long before people were grinding on the dance floor and I was ordering more champagne for the beautiful angels who were jostling for position. My phone rang and I excused myself, giving the newly-popped bottle to "Bambi." I headed towards an exit sign and opened the door, revealing a fire escape. I closed the door to muffle the mayhem of the party.
"Mr Rotherham?" a woman's voice enquired.
"Yes, this is he!" I barked.
"Hi, this is Natalie from Good Fellas. I just wanted to let you know your driver will be meeting you at the entrance in 30 minutes" she said, very professionally.
"Natalie, you sweet, sweet angel. I'm having a wonderful time here, could the driver please rather come at 01h30?" I asked.
"No problem, Freddy will be there at 01h30!"
Seconds later I received an sms detailing the new pickup time and place. Beautiful! I returned to our "booth" where people were, funnily enough, discussing how they were getting home - given the now very boozy theme of the evening. They asked me; and this is the part that amuses me.
"How are you getting home, Seth? Surely you're not driving after all that champagne?" they asked.
"Nought, I'm not driving. My driver is driving us home," I replied.
"Ooooh! your DRIVER! God, you are so POSH! I wish I had a driver!" they whined and gaaned aan.
It's quite funny, really. It's like they've never heard of Good Fellas - the service that comes to where YOU are and then drives YOUR CAR home, with you in it! It's not like I have a 24 hour driver. Christ, what do you think this is, Dynasty?
"Have you seen my driver?"
But the beauty is this whole vibe that gets created when you see the same people at the same parties and functions and they keep hearing you referring to "your driver" (only when they ask - we don't want to come across as crass, darling) and they keep seeing you leaving in the back seat of your car with "your driver" driving the car.
Good Fellas is a very slick professional service and they offer various packages, starting at as little as R60 a month. You need to check out their website and you need to get involved. You can't drink and drive. It's not cool and you will get caught. I've been using these guys for years and, because I'm a member, I don't even have to pre-book them - as long as I call them 30 minutes before I need them, it's fine. Nothing wrong with that - VERY convenient for when that lunch starts getting a little carried away...
It's also pretty cool dropping off drunk angels at their places on the way home. They like you more because of it.
Check out the Good Fellas packages and details, FAQ's etc. They're available in Cape Town, Schweeburg, Durbs, East London, P.E., as well as Pre..Pre..PreTORIA (sung to the tune of Duran Duran's Notorious).
2oceansvibe favourite and Victoria's Secret supermodel, Adriana Lima is engaged to be married to basketball player, Marko Jaric.
Marko decided to make an honest woman of Adriana on Thursday, at her 27th birthday celebrations. Whilst it hurts me to do this, we simply must see who this man is. Bearing in mind Adriana Lima has OFTEN maintained that she is a virgin and will refrain from sexual intercourse until her wedding day.
Marko Jaric
So there he is. That's the guy. Marko. Marko Schmarko.
Celebrate Wimbledon, whiten your teeth [permalink]
In this shallow, superficial world that we live in, where everyone is forced to adhere to specific levels of beauty dictated by society; it is refreshing to learn that one can improve one's looks cheaply and manually, at home.
In today's lesson, we will show you how to whiten your teeth, the natural way. I found this method on the "internet" a couple months back, but I thought I would save it until now, just before Wimbledon - home to the much loved tradition of strawberries and cream.
A strawberry (Fragaria xananassa)
Ok, so here's how you do it.
You need:
1 ripe strawberry
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Directions: Crush the strawberry to a pulp, then mix with the baking soda until blended. Use a soft toothbrush to spread the mixture onto your teeth. Leave on for 5 minutes, then brush thoroughly with toothpaste to remove the berry–baking soda mix. Rinse. (A little floss will help get rid of any strawberry seeds.) Apply once a week.
The last time I chatted about this guy was January 2005. The original article can be seen here, and the follow-up article is here. Always wearing the spiciest attire, the guy has been around forever. He has even been spotted before outside The Fez (back in the day) dancing on the roof of his 1980's BMW 635 CSi (often referred to as a classic, Sean Connery owned this one) with a bottle of whisky in his hand.
Spicy, very spicy..
He was spotted at Caprice within the last week (above) and it is reassuring to know that he is still around. Easily in his 60's, you will note he is sporting a red Karate Kid type bandana around his head, a yellow leather pant and a snake skin boot.
It not so much the size of Kim Kardashian's nought that concerns me, but more the design.
Perma-plumber
Specifically, I am ever so slightly disturbed by the fact that the actual crack goes about half way up her back. I mean, it's not like the bikini bottom is being pulled down to reveal some crack. It's on PERFECTLY! And yet, the plumber's butt is still showing?!
I'm not too sure about that.
I thought it a tad inappropriate, to be QUITE honest..
Limited edition Christian Louboutin espadrilles [permalink]
Much like Justin Timberlake would do a "collaboration" with Jay Z, French shoe designer, Christian Louboutin (famed for his red-soled shoes) has teamed up with One&Only resorts to create a limited edition of elegant espadrilles!
Christian Louboutin's new espadrilles. Stunning!
Oh my God, these are too good not to have! They are available at One&Only resorts so either you're in Cabo San Lucas, the Bahamas, Maldives or Dubai sometime soon, or you had better find some buddies over there ASAP! The design shown above is the Cataribbon (12cm), which is one of three , including the Isabelle (flat sole with ribbon ankle tie) and the Tiburon (7cm) which is also DIVINE!
In fact, let's have a look at the Tiburon's.
The "Tiburon" - Divine!
Honestly, I don't care if it's winter in SA at the moment. That has nothing to do with it. In fact, all the more reason to lie, cheat, manipulate and kill to get a pair before the limited edition runs out. What will you do if that happens?
Exactly. We need to move fast..
Get them angels, and get them quickly!
Why would you not?
And don't say you "can't afford them." The PlayEuroMillions Lottery has a jackpot of something like R300 million today! Get cracking, girls!
So the new Apple iPhone with 3G launched this week. It can store more and it can do more. One of them comes with, like, 16 gigs of space for music. Which is cool, I suppose. Right this very second I am in the Safe House and my normal iPod is playing on the Bose speaker situated on the other side of the room. Now, if that was my new iPhone "docked" in the Bose speaker, what the fuck happens if someone phones me? How do I answer it? I ASSUME this new iPhone has a mind control feature?
Nonetheless, the phone was well received in "America."
I think that, given the recent story about the guy who made love to 1,000 cars; it is a fundamental FACT that there are at least 12 Americans stroking themselves with their new iPhone, at any given time.
New Goldfish music video filmed in "stop motion" with Nina Milner [permalink]
I dig this "stop motion" vibe. Have you heard of it? Not? I didn't think so.
Oh you HAVE?
What is it then?
Oh... you can't remember?
Weird.
Anyway, they made this music video using 5,536 still images. That's a helluva lot of pictures! That figure is nearly as high as the number of pizza deliveries that Butler Pizza driver did. The music video features smoking hot Nina Milner and has even has a cameo by Goldfish's own Dom! He gets kicked out of bed in the music video. Which is surprising, given the amount of chicks that drool outside the backstage door at their live gigs.
I was hand-delivered the latest Goldfish album a few weeks back. I haven't stopped playing it and I can categorically state that it fucking rocks. Everyone is going crazy for it and so will you. I want it inside me, especially track 3... Mmm, it make me so crazy!!
It is times like these that I should not have access to this forum that I seem to have created. Honestly, I haven't had "pot" for a few days and I found myself in a meeting at 2pm which featured a "vaporiser" (Mark II), which led to my fifth coffee of the day with The Muse, which led to a shower, which led to a Royale burger with The TBG, which led to another very sweetly rolled joint, which led to a live show with Cokey Falkow at The Little Theatre (which is haunted - FACT) which was chilled. And by "chilled" I mean we had about 14 double Jack Daniels (they didn't have Jamesons). And by "14 double Jack Daniels," I mean "14 double Jack Daniels and 4 tequila's each."
Cokey rocked and we found ourselves backstage with these chicks who, if I remember correctly, were bouncing on space-type bounce balls. Cokey was taking pictures of them and the one chick asked to see my nipple. I told the TBG we should leave; as Marco, The Hairdresser, was trimming my locks at 9am in the morning. I'm still not sure if that all actually happened - but I'm here now, and the ride home was amazing. The iPod was on random and I was toying with the likes of Roxette as I flipped from one random selection to the next. Well, blow me sideways, the little fucker pulled out Stop, by Jamelia. I looked down at the iPod and frowned, disapprovingly, but in a teasing way and I said:
"Naughty, iPod. Very naughty!"
It's one of the most radical songs to drive home to and there is no shame in singing along like a chick to a song that hasn't been changed much since Sam Brown pissed on it in 1988. And by "pissed on it" I mean she was a white chick making R&B look normal (then. for white chicks. in claremont).
Whatever.
Wherever you are, (if you've got Internet Explorer and videos don't play, don't be a tool, install Firefox ASAP), do yourself a favour and play this effing video and embrace it. Play it as loud as you can and pretend you're here with me. Laughing. Drinking.
all that i have is all that you've given me (settling in nicely)
did you never worry that id come to depend on you (nought)
iv gave you all my love i had in me (ok. baking.)
now i found ur lying and i cant believe its true (jesus, baby?)
wooooaahhhhh you better stop! (stop)
before you tear me all apart
you better stop! (stop)
before you go and break my heart
oooooo you better stop
time after time i tried to walk away (when, exactly?)
but its not that easy when your soul must run into (huh?)
so i just resign myself to it (you "resign" yourself? what?)
everyday yeah (nice)
and now all i can do is to leave (nice) it up to you
wooooaahhhhh you better stop!
before you tear me all apart
you better stop!
before you go and break my heart
oooooo you better stop
if you love me (and go)
not the time to be sorry (nice)
i want to believe that youd walk out on me baby (slightly psycho)
yeahhhwoah! (sick)
wooooaahhhhh you better stop! (fuck you)
befor you tear me all apart
you better stop!
before you go and break my heart (gather ourselves)
oooooo you better stop
New "Odd One Out" show ends on Saturday 14th June [permalink]
It's not really a FAMILY comedy show. I just thought I would say that and then some of you would take your kids and will have to leave half way through, furious, after Cokey calls your 12-year-old daughter a coke-snorting Jewish whore, like he did that other time. Now THAT would be funny. That was MY idea of a joke. I can also be funny. I can be all sorts of things. I'm hot to trot, baby!
Cokey playing a game of Model-Model
That actually happened, by the way. I was there. It was at the beginning of Cokey's one show and he was loosening up. He spotted the kids and said to the dad, "are you sure you want to do this?"
The dad replied that the kids had seen it all and they could handle - a very liberal upbringing was mentioned, as well as the fact that there wouldn't be any language that they hadn't heard before.
Cokey asked if he was sure.
The dad confirmed.
Cokey asked if the father, then, wouldn't mind if he called his daughter a coke snorting whore.
The father winced, but thought this would be the last of it and, feigning laughter, confirmed it was fine.
Cokey wasn't finished. He asked if there was a reason that they only had two kids, finishing off his question with, "is it because you like to get coked up and fuck your wife up the arse?"
The wife put her hand over her mouth in utter disgust and horror.
"Don't cover your mouth, my darling, that's where it goes!"
The family started to gather their things and walk out as Falkow continued shouting after them, "Isn't it, daddy?! YOU KNOW IT IS!! Fucking anti-semites!"
Cokey's tires were slashed that evening.
Awesome!
You know why?
'cos it's like that..
And that's the way it is. .

I received this sms from Jeremy, lead singer of The Dirty Skirts
Seth, I went to Cokey's "Odd One Out" on Saturday. Smashing show. Lots of new material. F#$&ing funny. Also barbed as a pointed stick. The man is a legend, possibly a genius!
Following our incredibly well received, most recent article about cyclists and their behaviour in public environments, I thought we should follow up with a few more examples to further put our point across.
As I quite clearly responded to one cyclists lament that cyclists have a "democratic right to wear whatever they want," your rights are not the issue here - the issue is that your outfits are offensive and you look like a tool. Case in point was the photograph of the cyclist indulging in some extreme newspaper reading at Giovanni's in Green Point (which the cyclists refer to as "Gio's," thus further exposing how out of place they are, whether they're wearing lycra and helmets, or not.
The extent to which this cyclist looks like a tool in this environment should be taken to extremes so as to thoroughly prove or disprove the point. The 2oceansvibe design team put some helmets on some other individuals to see if there is ever a situation, besides on a bike, where this clothing does not make one look like a tool.
Check it out.

Angelina Jolie

I think we get the point. And, whilst I have never owned a cycling helmet, I did feel it necessary to do my very best to see if I could make a helmet of sorts, look cool when being used for something other than it's primary function. I got my scooter helmet and tried to write a couple of lines. Not ideal.
Keeley Hazel is probably the first woman in the world to be featured on the 2oceansvibe Tuesday Tabs three times. Thrice. Does anyone actually SAY "thrice?" Some people, believe it or not, don't know what the word means, so it would be a waste of time using the word in the first place. You save yourself a number of seconds saying "three times," instead of saying "thrice" and then having to deal with explaining to the person what it means. Do that enough times in a day and you're looking at an extra minute "me time" at the end of the day.
Keeley Hazel has, thus far, featured as Tuesday Tabs #13 and #21. You'll remember #13 included a little sex tape of our girl. What a great start! And look at her now- all grown up! We're so proud of her we thought we'd give you TWO Tuesday Tabs pics of her.
I know that most of the world has seen Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth, and we UNDERSTAND what is going on. But I REALLY don't think it is necessary for him to CONTINUE the damage. Especially when he takes away people's homes.
Look at this video taken this week of an entire house in Wisconsin washed down a river by more of Al Gore's floods.

I ordered pizza on Sunday night and it was like the 4th of July at The Safe House in Camps Bay. I got a phone call from the owner of Butlers Pizza, with the promise of a delivery from one of their top drivers. Whilst this kind of fussing and falling over is commonplace, I wasn't sure if this particular level of doting was standard. He went on to say the order was free. I thanked him and suddenly remember that I also wanted a 1.5l Coke and five Magnum ice-creams.
And a fanta.
A tourist allegedly took this pic from La Med on Sunday night
Looking over Camps Bay and Caprice at the fireworks above The Safe House
Magic moments.
Knowing my fussiness for pizza driver on-the-road experience, they thought they'd knock my socks off with "David," a driver coasting along with 6,500 missions to his name. Using only your brain, can you imagine that? He has done 6,500 pizza deliveries, people - what the fuck is that? How do you DO that? You almost have to DECIDE to do that at birth. You'd need a dad like Tiger Woods's dad; someone who decides FOR you that you are going to be great at one specific thing. The dad probably used to order pizza and push it from the front door to the lounge in David's pram. He had a pizza smelling christmas tree hanging from his rearview mirror so David thought cars were MEANT to smell like that. Most kids have pictures of cuddly toys on the wall; David had a Claremont road map. Can you imagine him learning the alphabet as a kid? "A" is for Anchovies, "B" is for Butlerito's.. God, it must have been a fuckhouse.
So anyway, after much fanfare, the pizza arrives with all SORTS of literature about their new vibe. And, I'll be quite honest, it's pretty impressive stuff. In a nutshell, Butlers Pizza have spent a fortune equipping most of their kitchens with gas ovens and have pledged to still deliver pizza's (at great expense to them - (gas is considerably more expensive than electricity)) when the Eskom electricity status hits "RED ALERT," but without electricity. They'll even bring candles for you when they deliver!
Two words: Pro gressive.
The whole thing says "Be a switched on energy hero"
Butlers are trying to turn us into super-heroes.
Just by ordering pizza? Hmm..
The figures show that for every thousand households that order pizza during those times, Cape Town can save over 2 Mega-Watts of peak time power - enough to light over 150,000 of those energy efficient lightbulbs. Quite mean. So basically, you will be able to tell your mates at work that you did the right thing and ordered pizza instead of cooking at home, and, in doing so, did YOUR thing to save electricity. It's genius! The pizza will cheer you up and you can also claim to be "energy wise." They're saying that you'll be a "switched on energy hero!" I must say, I never realised that it was that easy to be an actual HERO!
I like doing good things that turn out good, when it was not my initial intention. Karma doesn't know the difference, either. Like when I drop a sandwich in the kitchen of the Bantry Bay house and some of the crumbs fall through, in-between the floorboards, down to the Combodian kids I have stored underneath. There's nothing I can do about it, but I tell myself that I've done the right thing. Because, indirectly, I've actually fed them, which is good.
Apparently.
I can't wait for the next load-shedding or red alert. I can order pizza, berate a pizza driver, and see if my new UPS backup power system I bought for my computer works. Then I'll tell everyone the next day that I was basically the reason that the power came back sooner that it would have.
It's too easy getting things right the whole time.
It's windy, today in the mother city and you're settling back into the office. The weekend was good. The Boks beat Wales, convincingly. Nadal beat Federer, terribly convincingly. And Lewis Hamilton fucked up, convinvingly.
But now you're angry because it's all gone and you're back at your desk. And you're not doing anything about it. You should liberate yourself. Have a little freak out. Like this guy..
Ok.. we've got an interesting one here. This is apparently where it's all heading, kids. The C-string seems to be the latest invention and trend amonst lingerie afficianado's. Let's have a look at it first and we'll chat about it afterwards. Just take it all in.
At first glance, one might mistake it for an alice band:
But no, this is not an alice band. This is what they've come up with as a new kind of G-string, a C-string, to be exact. Let's have a look at it on one of our models.
I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure what is going on here. I mean, it's got some kind of bendy wire in it, like some kind of bra support. Can you imagine the cheating husband trying to do the classic slipping of the panties into his work blazer pocket just before a surprise visit from the wife? Jesus that thing will bend and bounce out of his pocket all over the fucking room. Imagine..
"Hi honey! God I've missed you.."
"Yes, I just thought I'd bring you some surprise muffins I cooked for you."
"Oh thanks babe.."
BOING!!
"What the FUCK is that?!"
Marraige, over. FACT.
It also wouldn't work well here at the Safe House. It's not neat and tidy and small, like a G-string, so it can't fit in my little momento's box, where I keep little trinkets from angels. You know; panties, bangles, bracelets - normal things - locks of their hair that you cut whilst they sleep. Standard stuff. You can't keep one of these efforts in there - it'll be like a jack in the box when you open it - that thing will jump out of there and blind you before you can say psychopath!
Not my vibe.
The only thing that would make this weirder is if the chick arrived with a nubrella!
Good morning, my dear friends. What a STUNNING day it is today in Cape Town. I'm in a pretty good mood. I'm off to Arniston tomorrow which will include much indulgence in the form of the world famous Alabama Slammers at the Arniston Hotel, when we pop in on Saturday to watch the rugby. In fact it's going to be quite tricky, what with the French Open Final on at the same time and all.
By the way, just to bring you all up to speed, Nadal is playing Djokovic in the one semi-final and Roger is playing Monfils (the French gent of darker hue who looks like Maxi Jazz from Faithless) in the other. Then, in the women's semi-finals, 2oceansvibe fave, Ana Ivanovic, is playing Jankovic (the one with the stretched face who looks like she may or may not have run into a wall as a child) today for a spot in the final, and the other semi final has two monsters playing each other and I can't remember their names. Who would?
Then I thought I would just, randomly, show you these new pics of Megan Fox taken for FHM magazine. Remember, she is the chick from the movie Transformers. I wouldn't advise looking directly at her or trying to work her out - your head will almost certainly explode.
Megan was pretty handy around the house
Pretty tidy stuff, don't you think?
Ja...same.
Enjoy this extra info I found out about her various tattoos:
Fox has nine tattoos, which she says she gets when she has "a feeling about anything". They include a poem on her ribcage, a symbol for strength on her neck, her boyfriend Brian's name on her hip and a picture of Marilyn Monroe's face on her right arm. She also has one on her right shoulder that says "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies," a line from Shakespeare's play King Lear.
God, she's so deep...
Click on these thumbnails for some more Megan Fox..
I know I go on about the superyachts that I want to get for us (especially on the days that the PlayEuroMillions lottery hits the billion Rand mark!), but I must admit, I do like the idea of having the power to go absolutely anywhere without having to worry about petrol. Hit the high seas with a pretty little sail yacht, why don'tcha?! Pop in to New York for a bit, the Maldives, Monaco - ANYWHERE! With a few angels on board, drinking champagne in bikinis. Fine - that's quite a nice vibe! I found this beauty to rent, whilst we decide..
Are you ok with that? Check out the deck and master bedroom below. IT comes with 4 en-schwat bedrooms, as well as 7 staff (incl. chef), plasma screens, satellite TV, broadband internet, Bose sound equipment, telephones, rubber ducks, jet ski, windsurfers, BBQ and scuba equipment.
Fine!
Chilling
Have a little nap
Check out the Super Yacht Charters website for more info and pics, or if you want to rent it for half a million Rand a week..
I think we should do that before taking the plunge and BUYING one. Or maybe we'll get into one of those fractional ownership things..
A reader forwarded me a link to the spiritual home of the more hell-bent South African cyclists, The HubSA. It seems my previous posting of our friend at Giovanni's in Cape Town, wearing full kit and helmet, has irked some of our two-wheeled friends.
"Extreme Newspaper Reading"
takes off in Cape Town
They went into great depth as well. Not only was the offending cyclist contacted and identified by his carbon-fiber brethren, but he was also SCOLDED for not wearing the right sponsors! This was later explained, chewed on and spat out during post after Shimano-riddled post of cyclist hoolabaloo that included the most incredible never-seen-before drivel, including, my personal favourite (brace yourselves):
"Cyclists have the democratic right to wear their selected sport apparel, during and after their desired sport or commuter activity"
Beautiful. It's too beautiful for words.
No-one is saying that you have no RIGHT to wear your helmet or sport clothing in a public eatery, my angel. We're just saying that you look like a tool.
It's quite weird; I never really know what day of the week it is, but I can generally feel when it is time for Tuesday Tabs. When you've done them every week for the last 83 weeks, you just kind of know. They've been late in the past and I have lied to you and put them up on a Wednesday, and then made the date look like it was a Tuesday. But that was when I was being evil and I apologised at the time, I'm sure. But I'm pure at the moment and can confirm that this IS being done on a Tuesday night - 19h00 to be exact.
This is for you. Her name is Anna Huber (no relation) and she is from "Vienna."
What a coincidence - my folks live in Australia!
Anna Huber - good
Now those tabs are JUST RIGHT. This is what guys mean when they're cupping their hands in mid-air, trying to explain to you, "you know when they're JUST RIGHT?"
You've probably noticed that things have been a little quiet around here of late. There is a reason for this. We've had an installation of sorts, here at 2oceansvibe HQ. Some techie guys came in yesterday to install a "UPS" for us. Whilst some of you probably think this might be the name of a courier company, I can confirm that it is in fact an "Uninterruptible Power Source." Check out the new toy. Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about!
In layman's terms, it's one of those things that keeps the electricity going, even when there is a power failure or load shedding. And it doesn't take petrol - it just plugs into the wall and recharges - like a rechargeable battery! No noise at all! I know! How can this be!? I was compelled to get one after a recent report that Eskom cannot confirm 100% that there won't be load shedding during winter. No shit. Have you ever been able to confirm anything 100%?
This little puppy I bought gives me an hour of power, even when there is no electricity. Are you with me? It won't keep me going for ever, but when there is a power failure I will have enough time to send off important emails and write whatever drivel I have for you at the time!
The guys I used, called Uninterrupted.co.za (fair enough) have other units that can power you or your company for MUCH longer, if you want to go for that vibe. Whatever it is you require, they are pretty cool and speak English, rather than Geek. Basically they don't leave you feeling sodomised, having paid for things that you don't understand.
So I told these guys that if they had the installation done in less than an hour, I would mention them to the trusting 2oceansvibe readers and community.
Well suck me sideways, it took them half an hour!
So if you don't know the first thing about computers and electricity, and you're looking for people that speak YOUR language, get in touch with these guys. It just so happens that they're cheaper as well..
Check out their website www.uninterrupted.co.za and give them a go! They come with the 2oceansvibe stamp of approval!
Vyes Henri Dave Mathieu-Saint-Laurent was one of the greatest fashion designers of our time. Joining Christian Dior at the age of 17, Yves was quickly boosted into the limelight when Dior died, leaving Saint-Laurent at the head of the fashion house at the tender age of 22.
He was drafted into the army shortly after that and suffered a nervous breakdown (not really the place for fashion designers). He returned and headed up the new design house, YSL, which brought us some of the world most famous designs, including the classic suit/tuxedo for women. The most iconic of all images being this one by Helmut Lang of "Le Smoking" suit.
Saint-Laurent became increasingly reclusive during the last decade and was ill for some time before his death. His final public speech was given in Paris in 2002:
"I tell myself that I created the wardrobe of the contemporary woman, that I participated in the transformation of my times," he said. "For a long time now, I have believed that fashion was not only supposed to make women beautiful, but to reassure them, to give them confidence, to allow them to come to terms with themselves."
YSL underwear still remains a favourite among the well heeled Cape Town privately schooled African men.

Prince played Creep by Radiohead the other day, at the Coachella festival in Indio, California. The quality is not amazing, but it's a good experience. Feel it inside your body.
Nice..
Further investigation on the Billboard websites tells us that Prince has thrown a wobbly and is banning all footage of the song. Even Radiohead aren't allowed to see it. Beautiful! Check this out:
All videos of Prince's unique rendition of Radiohead's early hit were quickly taken down, leaving only a message that his label, NPG Records, had removed the clips, claiming a copyright violation. But the posted videos were shot by fans and, obviously, the song isn't Prince's.
In a recent interview, Thom Yorke said he heard about Prince's performance from a text message and thought it was "hilarious." Yorke laughed when his bandmate, guitarist Ed O'Brien, said the blocking had prevented even him from seeing Prince's version of their song.
"Really? He's blocked it?" asked Yorke, who figured it was their song to block or not. "Surely we should block it. Hang on a moment." Yorke added, "Well, tell him to unblock it. It's our ... song."
This reminds me of one of the videos that The UK Showbiz Guy showed me which was a mockup of a potentially genuine situation. The video is made by David Chapelle and Charlie Murphy. Charlie is Eddie Murphy's brother and was obviously hanging around Eddie when he became the biggest star in America in the 80's. He (Charlie) has got loads of stories about the crazy incidents that occurred, living in this surreal environment. In particular, here is his rendition of when Prince decided to play basketball:
Hilarious.
Before I sign off here, it is important that everyone reads and understands this quote by Prince on what is means to be truly "cool."
Cool means being able to hang with yourself. All you have to ask yourself is 'Is there anybody I'm afraid of? Is there anybody who if I walked into a room and saw, I'd get nervous?' If not, then you're cool.
The guys at Ape Town receive all kinds of photos from people all over the world, wearing their Ape Town T-shirts. The most recent one that was shared with me was none other than John Smit proudly wearing his Ape Town T-shirt at the Barcelona stadium. Look at him! Pleased as punch!
John Smit hearts Ape Town "The T-shirt with the PERFECT NECK"
This is very good timing in fact, as Ape Town has a whole new range which can be viewed at www.apetown.co.za, including some of the originals, as well as some new ones.
It is at this point that I wish to announce something that I have been trying to keep a secret for some time now (clears throat). Ladies and gentlemen, 2oceansvibe has collaborated and listened with Ape Town to design, produce and offer to you; a LIMITED EDITION design of the same high quality and perfect fit T-Shirt - called, "The Hectique! T-shirt."
As I said, these T-shirts are limited Edition and they won't be available forever. Get your now and wait for the next collaboration.
Quite seriously though, those who own Ape Town T-shirts will tell you, they really are of the highest quality and, almost more importantly, they've earned the name of "the perfect fit" - something that a lot of T-shirt manufacturers get wrong these days (especially the neck!).
The Hectique! T-shirt is the exact same product.

Local website offers downloads of local DJs' "sets" [permalink]
Pretty progressive stuff here, folks. It looks like the kids are now able to reenact their Friday night alcohol and drug-fueled dance floor frenzy, in the comfort of their own homes and cars!
Seriously though, this is quite a clever little concept. These guys have basically enabled the fans out there to download MP3's of their favourite DJ mixes, for their iPod/CD/hard drive listening pleasure. All in one place.
From (I'm quoting now) "house legend Peter Abrahams" (sick!) to "techno Massives Killer Robot" (rock on!) to "drum and bass success story - Counterstrike" (mental!), you can now listen at your convenience and not just when you're tripping on the dance floor!

AFRICAN SURFER . COM
A surf trip from Cape Town to London up the West Coast of Africa [permalink]
Yes, that's right. Three guys, a 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser, a passion for surfing and the spirit of adventure. What a wonderful vibe! It's basically the road trip of a lifetime!
I've known about these crazy kids (Tim, "Lurks" and "Stone") for a while and have been following their progress for some time. I was chatting to The Roofer of late (who, you'll remember, has been punishing those big 25-30 foot waves over the last couple of weeks) and he reminded me of a classic story to do with the African Surfers and that famous old Santa-Claus bearded adventurer, Kingsley Holgate (you might remember him from those Captain Morgan ads, having a bath on the Serengeti plains and the like - "his office").
So the African Surfers have been doing this trip in an old fucked up Toyota Land Cruiser up the West Coast of Africa and they were visiting and surfing places where no white guys had been before (not many people have traveled overland like this to find waves!).
So then you get Kingsley Holgate, the great white African explorer. Sponsored by Captain Morgan. Sponsored by Land Rover. Big white beard. Pioneer etc. - pretty much the Camel Man. So he's all kitted out with sponsored gear and car - trying to find new untouched territory. And every time he finds a "new" place, he hears about these white goons who have been mucking around in the same place, JUST before him; and they had always JUST left - continuing up the coast. So Kingsley kept on going and everywhere he arrived it was the SAME story - "stealing his thunder," as it were! Then, eventually, he caught up to our boys!
Kingsley Holgate manages to catch up with Tim, Lurks and Stone
Pretty funny stuff! Three guys with an old car and a shoestring budget, outdoing Kingsley Holgate with his backup team and sponsors all over!
So go and check out AfricanSurfer.com and keep track of the guys and their experiences - they're doing something quite unbelievableand the stories and pics are something to behold. Check out their trip so far..
The little pink pins show all their stops - radical..
I was FINISHED when I got this pic from Zone (future 2oceansvibe Character) and noticed the words "Panty Dropper" written on the back window of this car. I mean, that was PLENTY!
But then I noticed that our boy had gone a little further - what with the numberplate and all..
Great to watch
It was only after THAT, that I spotted the wing at the top and the spicy lights.
What a wonderful individual!
Just out of interest, those of you from the burbs will recognise the exact location of this sighting as the traffic intersection at the far corner of the Rondebosch Common.
"Aaah Yes! Next to the ..."
"The William Slater Hospital... yes, that's the one."
I don't quite know what to make of these new pics of Britters posing with a rose in her mouth. She seems to be trying to re-enact the picture of Julia Roberts on the front cover of Vanity Fair. I just..I just don't know why..
Amazing vibe she's going for. But that's not the thing that concerns me here. What concerns me is this next picture. I simply cannot make out what is going on. It's like her tabs have had an argument and refuse to talk to each other. Infact, it seems they refuse to even LOOK at one other. They're basic standing back-to-back, angry, contemplating making a run for it.
Well I MUST tell you, I am QUITE impressed with myself! In the last half an hour I managed to get my iPod fixed, buy some fresh vegetables and help a bunch of refugees, WHILST listening to music. What a pleasure! I never knew giving could be so relaxing.
Basically what happened was I went to visit the Apple Store in town off Roeland Street to get a new cover for my iPod and, while I was in the area, I popped into Fruit & Veg City to get some (yup, you guessed it) fresh fruit and veg. Stalkers out there will be interested to note that my purchases included bananas, grapes, squash, peas and carrots.
Fresh produce - inside your body
I was listening to Run DMC on my iPod as I headed back to my car. That's when I noticed one of these TAC drop-off points we've been reading about. You know, for this "xenophobia" vibe that's going on at the moment. I know I made light of the situation initially but it's got pretty bad. That's why I got a blanket from the back of my car and dropped it off. Now I feel better about myself. AND I had music playing the whole time. AND I had brand new fruit and veg!
What a morning!
Refugees
So if you've got anything from blankets to jackets and shoes, help these guys out and drop some stuff off. You can get your iPod fixed at the same time, as well as the opportunity to buy some fresh produce rather than that rubbish you've been eating!

2oceansvibe favourite gets cracking in second round [permalink]
One of the few select angels in the 2oceansvibe "stable," Ana Ivanovic, is playing in the second round of this year's French Open. If the mention of Ana on this website is new to you, you might want to check out some past mentions of her here, here, here and, of course, her photo gallery here.

So anyway, Daddy's little pumpkin pie is playing today at 11h00, French time. The beauty of this whole vibe is the time in SA is the same as the time in France. So if you, like me, have a TV in front of your desk, you'll be able to catch this display of beauty on SuperSport 2 (channel 202) at 11h00.
She did a little video interview after her first round match which happened to be the very first match of the entire tournament. Shame, babba! Click this image below to see the video of this sweet, sweet, adorable little pudding!
Good luck, my angel. Daddy is very proud of you. We hope you don't come across the nasty man-woman, Mauresmo! You shouldn't be exposed to such evil. You should be taken from one match to the next on a pink pillow and only made to play other angels.
The trailer is out for the new Brad Pitt "vehicle," The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The film follows the life of Benjamin Button, a man who is born at the age of 80 and begins his life aging backwards. So, basically, he gets younger and younger until, 80 years later, he is a baby - and then he ceases to exist.
Check out the trailer:
I'm fine with that vibe. It's an argument that comes up a lot and usually has to do with creating wealth and the problem with only being able to enjoy it when you're older, rather than in your youth.
This film is an adaptation of the brilliant story written by F. Scott Fitzgerald who, funnily enough, was inspired by a remark of Mark Twain's "to the effect that it was a pity that the best part of life came at the beginning and the worst part at the end."
The film is only being released much later in the year so you have plenty of time to get the book. I've read it and highly recommend it. It comes with a number of other fantastic short stories.
