I received an invite from Marina at The Little Black Blook to the launch of the new uber-cool Harley-Davidson “Dark Custom” range of motorcycles last Thursday at The Winery, Mandela Rhodes Place. Wow! The night really was fabulous, with beautiful naughty little angels everywhere, fully stocked bar and a live session with Prime Circle, no […]
With all their products made from Hemp and the owner, Tony Budden being such a cool character, Hemporium has long been one of my favourite brands. And now it’s come to Long Street as a part of 210onLong (not to be confused with the Purple Onlon). Check this out. 210onLONG – SUSTAINABLE SHOPPING […]
I was browsing our preferred eventing and organising company, Marina’s Little Black Book, and I noticed there were two more names added to the coordinating powerhouse! Marina’s Little Black Bookwww.thelittleblackbook.co.za I don’t know about you, but these pics I found on the Little Black Book website of Brodie Thompsett and Amanda Boardman suggest we’ve […]
As predicted, this last weekend’s Cape Town Tens was a runaway success, with 10/10 scores from anyone that matters. The tournament has been accepted on the world stage and is pipped to become bigger than the Hong Kong Sevens within the next two years. www.capetowntens.com The facilitation of recreational boozing was apparent, as everyone went […]
I have only really now woken up from the dream that was the three night stay I enjoyed with The Muse at Franschhoek’s most celebrated bastion, Le Quartier Francais . At le Quartier Francais,the wood is wrapped in ribbon.. They’ve just turned 20 by the way, so I wanted to tell you a […]
I don’t know about you, but my insides are spazzing out in anticipation for the inaugural annual Cape Town Tens competition taking place this weekend at Hamiltons RFC. With this unique brand of rugby fever filtering into the veins of Capetonians far and wide, the boys obviously couldn’t wait to get the festivities […]
We featured an article last week, displaying The Photographer‘s entry to this year’s prestigious Queen’s Plate Photography competition – in search of the image that best displays the spirit and glamour of South Africa’s premier horse racing event. Thursday, 5 Feb, 6pm Wembley Square The prize is a Leica M8 camera – valued at over […]
Yes, you heard me, the greatest rugby player in the world, All Black flyhalf and living God, Dan Carter is in the house! This will be great news for girls and boys alike. As you know, it is perfectly acceptable, as a straight man, to have a man crush on Dan Carter. That is the […]
I thoroughly enjoyed this pic by The Photographer. The image is made up from a number of shots taken on the day and merged together to form, what I think, completely encapsulates the vibe of the day. Click pic for hi-res image. The Queen’s Plate 2009 “Winning Moment”Click here Sick! To see pics […]
Before we chat about that, I thought I should just mention that this year’s Coke Fest (now called CokeZero Fest ’09) is featuring Oasis as its headline act. That’s right. You heard it here first. Other bands on the bill at this stage include Snow Patrol…and the Dirty Skirts. I know. Pretty rad. Now check […]
It would be somewhat out of line not to mention some of the angels on display at last Saturday’s 148th running of the Queen’s Plate. Slightly off the mark in black, rather than blue and white, the ever stylish Gina Athens did particularly well with this short knitted dress. Hat and shades combo also gets […]
It’s getting closer and closer (four more sleeps to be exact) to Cape Town’s most glamorous and exclusive social event – the 148th running of the Queen’s Plate! And what a brilliant date they have set! Not too close to New Year, but enough time to gather our senses, get some R&R, top up our […]
I tell you, it’s been a few years since I did New Year at The Mount Nelson. The last time was a bit of a blur but, funnily enough, it came up in conversation this week. The Fabrics Guy and I agreed that the last one got a full 10 out of 10, I asked […]
I remember a girl friend of 2oceansvibe being ever so slightly scorned at the emotional neglect dealt to her by 2oceansvibe’s “The Kitesurfer.” We had ploughed through a bottle of bubbly at Karma the one night and time came for me to exit. A tad tipsy, she said unto me (with her fingers snapping in […]
I attended the much anticipated Cape Town 10’s launch at The Grand, in Camps Bay on Thursday evening last week. It was everything I had dreamed of, and more. Especially when I saw Roxy Louw arrive with Hollywood superstar, Christopher Walken. “I got this watch..” Ok, it wasn’t Christopher Walken, it was actually ex-Springbok, Rob […]
Whilst Martin Johnson is probably still reeling from the pounding he got on Saturday, it seems rugby in England has managed to excel in other forms. Remember in August when I told you about the inaugural Rugby Expo? Ja, well it happened – and it was a RAGING success by all accounts. With […]
So we’re about two weeks away from the final day of Mo-vember. For those of you who have JUST this minute come out of a coma, we (and thousands of SA males) are growing our moustaches for the month of November (Mo-vember) and will compete in a day of bowls at The Fresnaye bowling club […]
After a stunning meal at The Grand in Camps Bay on Friday night (with emphasis on the food, rather than the service) and a solid toot at Caprice, Saturday’s weather followed through without effort. A stunning day was had at The Entrepreneur’s pile, as we indulged in some surf and turf spectator action; with the […]
During Mo-vember (the month formerly known as November) I’m growing a Mo. That’s right I’m bringing the Mo back because I’m passionate about tackling men’s health issues and being proactive in the fight against prostate and testicular cancer. So not only do you get to support a worthy cause, but you get to humiliate me […]
I’ve never been to the Diemersfontein Wine Farm before and, given that it was the first of it’s kind, I had never before indulged in the Woolworths Wine Festival. And what a treat it was! Positioned next to the town of Wellington and owned by Woolworths co-founders, The Sonnenberg Family, the farm is one of […]
The Volvo Ocean Race is an around the World sailing challenge that happens every three years. It is a MASSIVE undertaking with nine or 10 legs in total and takes over nine months to complete. And they’re in Cape Town in a couple days time! They will undergo repairs and the sailors get rest until […]
A couple of weeks back I told you about Newbie Bowls, the lawn bowling phenomenan engulfing Cape Town. In particular, I mentioned the tournaments they put together at The Glen Country Club above La Med in Clifton. Well… I couldn’t resist and ended up going to see for myself. Wow! I can get VERY used […]
It’s all happening! Friday night will be something to behold! Any Caprice regular will remember every one of these faces. They’re from the old school – the days where dancing on the bar and VodkaRedBull pyramids came standard. Shades of Studio 54, you might say. Incredible flyer Check it out: This Friday […]
I’ll be honest, I had no idea this shit was going down right here in Camps Bay and Clifton! We’ve all seen the Newbie Bowls website before and it was only today that I looked out the car window and spotted the bowling greens from Victoria Road, overlooking Clifton and La Med! I remembered an […]
It’s crazy to think that it was a full year ago that we were galavanting around Darling and enjoying the Western Cape’s premier music festival with SA’s hottest acts, live on stage. And this year it gets even more crazy, because they’ve thrown in the likes of Eagle Eye Cherry with The Dirty Skirts, Goldfish, […]
It’s happening, my friends. We are nearly there. Rocking the Daisies 2008 is upon us. And they’re certainly not fucking around this year, as the poster below will show. I stopped reading after the first three names. Check it out and I’ll tell you about the competition after that.  www.rockingthedaisies.com  Are you feeling […]
Make haste people. That is best advice I can give you. The internationally sought after Cape Town Boat Show is underway at the CTICC from 3 to 5 October 2008. Fairline Squadron 78 – courtesy of Boating World The Fairline Squadron 78 is not to be sneezed at. And with our friends from […]
A buddy of mine directed me to some pretty cool videos of the Springbok rugby team taking on the SA Wheelchair Basketball side. Obviously the Boks got DRILLED! They can be found on the SA Paralympic Team’s website, which also includes info on all our Athletes, Fan mail, Photo Galleries, Schedules, Videos and News. Check […]
Those like-minded people out there will understand the enormity of genuine, well formed networks. Doing business through people you can trust, immediately takes it to the next level. More gets done and more money gets made. It breaks down barriers, you could say. If you didn’t realise what was going on at 2oceansvibe then you’ve […]
There are a lot of key words in that headline, and I hope you took them all to heart. I’ll begin by saying that Kreate SA are organising this party. You know what are they known for, right? Yes, that’s correct – Kreate SA are the guys that gave us all of the beautiful angels […]
