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 […]
This fellow can be found at Vida e in Camps Bay. I enjoy him. Soso Unlike his coffe (which is amazing), his name is “Soso .” No, I am not spicing you. I just hope that when people ask him what his name is, he holds out his hand flat and, before they […]
As promised on the night of the SA Blog Awards 2009, I would like to give all the SA Blog Awards nominees the opportunity to order some droolicious Butlers Pizza on my personal account. I didn’t quite get the go ahead from Cape Town’s #1 pizza before I told you about the gift, […]
In an unprecedented move and in response to my recent laments (here and here) about the very dire Cape Town Daim chocolate shortage, I have received a pack of Daim chocolates in the mail from a 2oceansvibe reader! Hmm – what’s this? Whooah!! HEY, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! I would like to take this […]
Well I’m still sort of recovering after Friday night’s South African Blog Awards, held at Chevelle club in Cape Town. Well done to the organisers and sponsors (here) on the night and well done to all the nominees and bloggers that made it the success it was. I was also very pleased with […]
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 […]
I trust everyone has seen the Nando’s ad for Joost? I put it up two days ago (here) and still received it 20 times yesterday in my inbox (could we please address this issue, friends). So anyway, someone has mocked-up ANOTHER Nando’s ad, addressed to Joost van der Westhuizen’s wife, Amor. This one is clearly […]
Nando’s grilled peri-peri chicken restaurants have moved quickly and are able to capitalise on the Joost van der Westhuizen sex tape scandal. With this: Good. We approve. Go to www.joostsextape.co.za for more.. [thanks catherine]
Those of you who know and understand the orgasmic flavoursome proportions of Rotherham-diet-approved Daim (also called “Dime” in some countries) chocolates, have probably been sharing the pain that has been running through my body for the last few months. I had a fix for a while, after receiving this incredible bag of mini-Daims from Los […]
This mind blowing clip apparently from Hong Kong comes hot on the heels of the video of the woman freaking out at the airport (article entitled “Chick misses her flight and loses her mind“), also in the East. My goodness, that side of the world sure knows how to throw a tantrum! This woman loses […]
Jeepers Hudders, some of the okes with properties near The Lookout Deck have done PARTICULARLY well. These houses were once ON the Lookout Deck parking lot, but now, thanks to global warming and excessive flooding (which washed away the entire car park) they have their own private beaches! Shame Small increase in property value […]
With the wedding on Saturday, we hit Plettenberg Bay after lunch on Friday. Moby Dicks on the beach next to the BI hotel (leading to “The Wedge”) came into play and I tell you what, I was bloody impressed. This was, largely, to do with the very kak view from the restaurant. The BI […]
One of the main reasons I enjoy gong to the cinema is the popcorn. And, in particular, the salt and vinegar flavour shake that I sprinkle all over it. And when I say “sprinkle,” I mean “massacre.” For me, there is only enough salt and vinegar on the popcorn if it causes me to cough […]
I’m giving these guys a punt because they were put onto me by a friend and proceeded to totally and utterly blow me away. Everyone knows that the entire 2oceansvibe network has NEVER had a reliable cape town panel beater and I honestly think I’ve struck gold. Sorry, WE’VE struck gold! Ok, I had this […]
I bought a couple of these puppies at Woolworths earlier this week and haven’t had a chance to try them yet. It’s a can of Thai Green Curry from Woolworths and comes with bamboo shoots and baby corn! On the label it says : “just add chicken, fish or prawns.” I also bought 4 portions […]
[This article was written live on Sunday morning] It’s been a blur of a weekend really and whatever transpired has got nothing to do with the fat joint I had this morning before establishing myself in the Arniston Hotel breakfast lounge. You see, not only are you dealing with a view which could make Batman […]
This is called the “Sandwich of knowledge“: The Sandwich of Knowledge “The bottom tier contains eight strips of bacon, six sausages and four burger paddies; followed by a second tier of black pudding; topped by a third tier comprised of two diced chicken breasts and six fried eggs.” Make sure you read that properly […]

This is just crazy. I mentioned Constantia’s bastion of all things festive, Peddlars on the Bend for the first time ever yesterday and today the place is burning down! WTF?! More about that as it comes in. Being close friends with the owners of Peddlars, our hearts go out to them and hope this […]
EAT YOUR FOOD, TINA! Lindsay Lohan at the opening of Matthew Williamson’s New York store yesterday during the Mercedes-Benz Fall 2009 Fashion Week That photo has not been photoshopped, by the way. I’d like to take this opportunity to confirm to all women out there, that we (men) do NOT like that look […]
I don’t like to give all my secret tricks away. But when you have over 18,000 tricks up your sleeve, it REALLY doesn’t dent your inventory if you give the odd one away. Especially when it is helping you, my gorgeous 2oceansvibe readers – the most treasured of my possessions. Now, a lot of you […]
Ok, so here we go. It’s the offer of a lifetime. All expenses paid entry to La Med to watch Goldfish play THIS Sunday night! I know, it’s pretty crazy. Go ahead, pinch yourself! It SAYS 8 February, but it MEANS 15 February! (photo obviously taken by The Photographer) Now, what you have […]
I’m making use of a number of my resources this week. With the help of my friendly Butlers, there will be a number of Knead Love Boxes being sent all over town to some special angels! The contents of the Love Box Knead (Wembley Square – Cape Town) are offering the boxes (with the above […]
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 […]

Whilst I’m sure they’re doing their bit for upliftment and all that, they might want look into employing people with a minimum of a standard 3 to write out their in-store signs and promotions. Or maybe even get a manager with a standard 6 to oversee those people. This, spotted in Pick ‘n Pay – […]
Here’s a recent pic of Britney Spears at the dance studio. It’s a VAST improvement from her previous vibe which left a lot to be desired. Britters – you may perve her again You see? It’s not JUST diet – you gotta get out there, girl! You gotta pound the pavement! Stop being such […]
For those of you who have not been educated in the way of the slang word, today is your lucky day. Because today you are going to learn about one of the greatest urban expressions of our time : “MUFFIN TOP” Let me explain. You know the way muffins bake and hang over the top […]
I mention a lot of cool eating and drinking establishments and shops on these pages. Everyone from Caprice and Miss K, to Vida e, Butlers and Woolworths. There is a reason for that; I’ve bought into their brands and I feel it is safe for you to do so as well. They are brands that […]
Look really carefully and you’ll see Lindsay Lohan in this picture. Lohan – emaciated That’s too thin, girls. Now I know we don’t want to look like a tuckbox, but you have to find a middle ground. We’re not asking for too much. Honestly. You know, even THIS is fine!
