Oh Lordi, the overseas press are AWASH with news and sightings of Britney’s ex, Kevin Federline with his new los. (International readers should know that “los” is Afrikaans for girlfriend/slag). Kevin Federline and Victoria Prince TMZ had this to say: Kevin Federline’s new chick isn’t low rent — she’s no rent — […]
This article will be very short and sweet. Yet fat. I just wanted to show you this. Kim Kardashian and her bum negotiate a doorway Try throw that shit around me. See how far you get.
I thought you’d enjoy this quick focus on Cape Town’s weather in days to come. Tragic, really. Shame It’s pretty straightforward, I think you’ll find. All meetings, if any, should be conducted on the Atlantic Seaboard. Basic stuff. Coffee should be drunk at Vida e in Camps Bay. That’s a given. Lunches, dinner […]
It’s no coincidence that the owners of The Roundhouse Restaurant in Camps Bay also own the company that trains the staff at the 5-star Cape Grace Hotel . It is to this end that Fasie Malherbe and his team seem to stop at nothing to ensure you experience service never seen before in any Cape […]
As the trend for zero tolerence when it comes to cyclist’s wearing their helmets in public grows, it is interesting to note that some establishments have now made it law. This, found on the menu at Pirates in Hout Bay. 2oceansvibe and Cape Town as a whole, applaud Pirates I must say, my […]
It was a couple months back that the Interior Decorator told me that I “simply HAVE to visit DVD Nouveau” on Bree Street in Cape Town. She told me about their incredible selection of DVD’s for rent, including every series and all the classics. I looked for the shop, but I couldn’t find it and […]
I’ll be honest, it’s actually 10 at night and I’ve timed this article to come out in the morning, to grace you with more pearls of glory. Good morning! It all started at 1pm, you see. At La Perla. A boys lunch. It was me, “The Big H” and “The Dude” (fresh from his Kika-Sack […]
With the festive season reaching roughly the half way mark, I am sure we have all taken a moment to consider our waist lines. Personally, I’ve pretty much nailed it with regards to diet. So much so that I am dangerously close to publishing The Rotherham Diet. It’s pretty cool and includes minimum exercise and […]
The Personal Jukebox spotted this lovely scene at McDonald’s in Canal Walk. THE WORLD CUP STARTS IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS! Not only can you feel like a supermodel when you shop at Canal Walk, but you can experience time travel at the same time! You never have to leave!
This is why I prefer to shop at Woolworths. Organic mature cheddar (my choice) vs. Parmalat Yumchum Ass. I’ve never seen a Yumchum, let alone a Yumchum’s ass. Is it like a Bum Chum? Some, err, ASS for you, Sir? Tsk tsk. Naughty. [thanks zone]
My Mother is quite a serious cook and will cream your mom at any dish. Seriously, ANY dish – she doesn’t fuck around. One of her specialties is Christmas fruit cake. The whole extended family, from Paris to Parys used to put in orders every year and the production line would kick into action. All […]
With a fridge filled with Jack Black upon arrival, I realised The Cape Grace were on the right track and should therefore experience even more of the 2oceansvibe. That is why I ordered Butlers Pizza on Friday night for myself – and threw in another human-height pile of pizzas for the Cape Grace staff. […]
We mentioned on Wednesday that it would be 35 degrees on Thursday (yesterday). It was. It started with lunch at Caprice, and then it moved onto the beach. And then it came back again. It was a whirlwind. Like a whirlwind romance, but with no romance – just booze and bodies and extravagance and extreme […]
Whilst the cyclists carry on with their rant, we need to focus on more important things, like the weather. It’s 35 degrees tomorrow!HATING THAT! Hmm… I sense a Caprice lunch coming on.
I popped into Societi Restaurant on Orange Street in Gardens this morning for some creative writing with Iron Mike, and spotted this sign. “It’s a life’s tile“ See what they did there? They took the word “lifestyle” and changed it, to incorporate their product. ‘Cos they sell tiles, you see. So it becomes […]
I think the best way to put it into perspective would be to think back to school days when the bullies used to put “KICK ME” stickers on the back of the geeks’ blazers, and they would get “gat-skops” all day without realising why. Only this time the geeks have put the stickers on themselves […]
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 […]
Given that it is the best chocolate on planet Earth, the scarcity of Daim Chocolate bars in Cape Town is becoming more and more alarming. Every time I can’t find it in its usual haunts (Giovanni’s, Carlucci’s etc.) I pretend that it must just be a one-off. But then, on the fifth time, I get […]
I was a little peckish the other morning so I popped into the Vida e on Kloof Road. I felt like something different and asked Msizi if the Prego Roll was any good. He said I would enjoy it. So off I went. The Prego Roll – by Vida eInsane As worldly and […]
I was forwarded this from someone working in a Cape Town (Kloof area) production company. It was sent to everyone in the organisation. Please enjoy it! [The email did not include this picture. I did that, just to add a bit of a vibe to the story.] Subject: BAD MOVE To whoever it was that […]
I was feeling a little peckish the other day. I knew I shouldn’t be having carbs, but I felt noodles could slip through the net without detection. I wasn’t close to Long Street, so Noodlebosch was out of the question. And I didn’t hangover so I couldn’t deal with the dried out nonsense from Knorr, […]
You gotta give our favourite Cape Town beer, Jack Black, a pat on the back when they bring out a tap and quietly have it installed at both Caprice and Mount Nelson’s Planet bar in the same week! JACK BLACK – on tap at Caprice and Mount Nelson’s Planet Bar Nice one – things […]
I don’t know. People say I’m looking thin and I must say I did have had a recent cardiovascular explosion in the gym, combined with an incredibly admirable dietary regime. But that stopped three weeks ago and I’m still riding the “God, you’re looking awesome” wave. But, truth be known, The Muse has reacted of […]
How hammered are you going to get on Friday night? Or are you going to be wise and make the most of the glorious weather I’ve arranged for Saturday? Good luck with keeping satan at bay on Friday night. The smart kids will remember the joys one can have with good Saturday weather. […]
An essential part to being a complete human being, is to possess the ability to cook perfect crispy bacon in a frying pan. I’m going to tell you now, just this once, the easiest way to do so. Crispy bacon – standard stuff in The Safe House MrBreakfast.com got it spot on: […]
My GOD, Saturday was a gorgeous day! I cleverly didn’t over-indulge at Asoka the night before, following the launch of the first Luv Sport TV show. A good night’s sleep and a fresh joint (I went for the pinner – three drags and go) ensured maximum enjoyment of the good weather. I had breakfast scheduled […]
I’m quite pleased with myself. I popped into Carlucci’s yesterday to get a Chunky Chicken Salad and I spotted their range of stovetop espresso makers, as I do every time (always two words, it is never “everytime”). I bit my lip as I grabbed the small Bialetti Moka Express one-man unit from the shelf and […]
I’m incredibly amazed that there are still people out there that are unaware of the availability of these heavenly, ultra luxurious, evil, yet sexual treats. In Cape Town. In GREEN POINT, no less. You do know about Miss K, right? You don’t? [Muffled snigger – Holding fist to tight lipped mouth, eyes wide open, staring […]
Not to be mistaken for the Funky Chicken which is, in fact, a dance. The Chunky Chicken Salad can be found at Carlucci’s, on Victoria Road, Bantry Bay. “Oh, ja, just opposite The Ambassador Hotel?” Yup, that’s the one.  The Chunky Chicken Salad – available exclusively at Carlucci’s  I tell you what, it’s […]
Well, I had seen this little puppy in a few of the overseas mags I get every month (which include Vanity Fair, US GQ, Conde Nast Portfolio, New York Magazine, Monocle and Wired) and every time I saw the ad I grew more and more aware of how badly I needed to own the Fujitsu […]
