I am writing this from a café somewhere in Paris as The Muse downs another glass of rosé and the waiters eyeball me, wondering when exactly we will be ordering dinner (I’m going for the fish). That said, this is going to be a quick one. But an important one, nonetheless. It’s to do with […]
That’s right, future World Number 1 surfer, South Africa’s very own Jordy Smith (currently number 6 on the ASP World Tour) is in town for the O’Neill Cold Water Classic (here) which is running from 20-24 June. This happens to be the first WQS event in Cape Town in about twenty years. Jordy Smith […]
Enjoy this SNL clip with Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg – The same two that brought you Dick in a Box. Andy and the Lonely Island band also gave us the awesome I’m on a Boat music video. Oh, this video also has a very provocative SUSAN SARANDON! Ja, you heard me. You can read […]
Don’t know about you, but I just bought 5 lines for Friday’s Euromillions jackpot. I suggest you do the same. During a recession, why would you not? You know we don’t make a fuss about the EuroMillions lottery on 2oceansvibe unless it comes with a big jackpot. Well, this Friday is ANOTHER rollover with a […]
We have a few announcements today. Firstly, Goldfish have followed the trend set by The Dirty Skirts and have given 2oceansvibe the exclusive release of their new music video, Cruising Through . Let’s have a look at that, and then we’ll check out the email I received from Goldfish (currently in Brazil), as well as […]
By now you would have watched Part 1 of the 4th 2oceansvibe Weather Girls installment. This one is Part 2. [If you haven’t watched part 1 then you need to do that first otherwise it won’t make sense. Seriously] It should be in the article below this one. If not, CLICK HERE. And so, once […]
It’s an action packed episode this week, split into two parts! Not only do we spend time with the gorgeous Genevieve Morton (grab a seat), but we also delve into the secret underworld of scooter thong riding in Cape Town – featuring yours truly. I was hesitant when I first met Gen, but, I’ll be […]
You probably noticed in last week’s 2oceansvibe Weather Girls show (here) that I managed to get my hands on a T-shirt from the new Ape Town range. That’s right, the original Ape Town brand has just released a whole new range of colours to suit every mood! They’re really sick and, as usual, they’ve nailed […]
A stunning day had by all! Andrew from the Hi-Five Scooter Club organised a scooter rally that took place on voting day (GO DOLPHINS!), yesterday, which kicked off at the Waterfront Vespa Shop, next to the Caltex station. A rally that was put together to highlight the perfect match that is scooters and Cape Town, […]
Running around today. Voting day and all. It’s a public holiday, for those of you that didn’t know. That said, you’ll be better off following me on Twitter today. Remember, I’ll be doing the Scooter Rally (everyone with a scooter is invited to join – be at the Waterfront Caltex at 11h45) and stripping down […]
Wow, there was definitely no getting out of this one! After my incredibly naive pre-Blog Awards pledge video where I promised (should I win) to ride my scooter along the Camps Bay strip in a leopard print thong (emphasis on “strip!”), there was no end to the sms’s, emails and tweets asking “hey dude, what […]
I remember when I got my first copy of the latest Dirty Skirts album, Daddy Don’t Disco – I nearly wet myself the whole way through. And then came the track that is currently all over the airwaves – “Rolling Like Thunder.” As much of the fan that I am, I couldn’t actually believe what […]
This article is by no means an endorsement of any party, nor is it an indication of who I will be voting for. It is just a brief word about how impressed I am with Trevor Manuel, and that the opposition parties and leaders might want to take a leaf out of his book. You […]
So some friends from L.A. rolled into town for a week and managed to pack in quite a bit. They stayed at the new One & Only hotel (review pending – the jury is still out) at the V&A Waterfront and headed out each day, ticking off the various adventures to be had. It was […]
Whoah, there hasn’t been an auction on the Camps Bay strip since the place next door to Caprice, now occupied by The Grand Cafe, went for around R40 million sometime last year. And now, the highly sought after building on the other side of The Grand Cafe is going under the hammer. I spotted them […]
I very nearly bought a couple of golden circle tickets for this year’s Coke Zero Fest in Cape Town after my G-Man reminded me it was taking place on Monday. You see, as I was about to book tickets for The Muse and me, I found out that it wasn’t in it’s usual place (Kenilworth […]

With a maximum of 35 degrees today, God couldn’t have chosen a better day for National Cleavage day. Scarlett recognises National Cleavage Day Yes, that’s exactly right! Thank you for that, Scarlett – I think you hit it spot on there! What a great example! As with every National Cleavage Day, the angels […]
While the Vaal Dam is pretty impressive, Table Mountain is the only local landmark that has made the second round of the “New 7 Wonders of the World.” And by “second round” I mean 261 magnificent natural sites from 222 countries. Oh, I’ve just noticed that they’re all natural… That’s probably why the Vaal Dam […]

Whilst I am certainly 100% behind this cause, I must say, I’m also very excited to actually WITNESS us pulling it off. And by “us,” I mean “the world.” That’s what they’re aiming for; you realise that, right? The whole WORLD is turning off the lights for one hour on March 28. Because of varying […]

Show them this album cover and I can almost guarantee they’ll be moved to tears. […]

I ballsed it up the other day when I said that Goldfish were playing at Spier. They weren’t. I got the weekends mixed up and they are actually playing at Spier (in the amphitheatre no less – QUITE an affair, I am told!) THIS weekend. I’m going on Saturday night and STRONGLY advise you to […]
