There is a saying I made up a few years ago when I used to smuggle my cat, Homer, through customs. I used to tell my friends, “Don’t let the cat out the bag.” Since then, it’s use has slowly evolved and now people use it as an actual saying. They mainly use it to […]
I know what you’re thinking. How can it get to this level? It’s quite silly, really – it’s like we’re playing this game on “easy” mode.. Behold, the ULTIMATE Christmas gift.. Due to the overwhelming amount of awesome videos on 2oceansvibe, you can’t be expected to watch it all – and let’s face it, not […]
It’s not so much the “wow” factor of a paraglider landing on Camps Bay Beach opposite Caprice, as much as it is an excuse to remove yourself from whatever you’re doing and to submerge yourself into the ridiculous day we’re having today. A quick video wouldn’t hurt. Check it out: Some of you would have […]
If there weren’t enough reasons for you to love Mabu Vinyl (2oceansvibe’s vinyl store of choice), this may well be what you’re looking for. Spotted in their window over the last week: Spotted in Mabu Vinyl’s shop window.. Enjoy the “Dickhead” sign above the book You simply CANNOT put a price on that kind of […]
We’ve covered the phenomenon of “ASS” flavoured foods on 2oceansvibe for quite some time ( see Spar’s ass rolls here, Pick n Pay’s parmalat ass here, Woolworths quiche ass here). I’m pleased to say that the acquired taste of ass in foods is spreading up the coast, having now hit the Spar in Hermanus. Excellent! […]
Sometimes the prizes are so big on 2oceansvibe that you don’t believe it’s true. That’s fair enough – I pinch myself on a daily basis. And so did our latest winner Nicola Duncan (along with list creator – yours truly) when she found herself at Canal Walk last week, claiming her thirty grand’s worth of […]
Welcome to this week’s 2oceansvibe Show, brought to you by NoMU – eat. drink. live. And WHAT an occasion it is! Who would have thought that Helen Zille would accept the offer of being a 2oceansvibe Weather Girl? My goodness, what a surprise! Although, in all fairness, the allure of joining an exclusive club which […]
I don’t know about you, but I’ve just ordered this T-shirt “online” : That’s just how I’m rolling at the moment. And that’s exactly how they ALWAYS roll at “Challah Clothing ,” which is an online T-shirt shop.. You seem confused? Perfectly understandable. Their About Us section of the website explains: Challah Clothing was founded […]
I attended a full day at the Audi High Performance Driving Course at Killarney race track in Cape Town. I don’t know if it was because of that speeding fine I got, but my boys at Audi Centre Cape Town felt I couldn’t carry on driving the R8 or the TT without attending the course. […]
To say that I was the PC poster-boy, would be an understatement. I had a computer from the age of six and, given that I was an only child, I spent an inordinate amount of time in front of the various computers I have had throughout my life. Apart from the “SpectraVideo” and BBC computers […]
It’s with great ease that they do, because Boschendal Grande Cuvee Brut (lest we forget the Le Grand Pavillon Brut Rosé) has very recently become the sparkling wine of choice for 2oceansvibe. Hardened 2oceansvibers out there will know what it takes to get the nod as a 2oceansvibe brand and, make no mistake, this premium […]
Don’t say I don’t tell you how and when to be at the right place at the right time. I was contacted by the owner of an online company called luxury4less who have launched a very exclusive website offering a vast range of premium brands and designer products at massively reduced prices. But it’s not […]
Cape Town band, Brothers Streep who are friends of some of the 2oceansvibers out there were on Graham Norton’s BBC TV show. They (Brother’s Streep) are big fans of oscar winner and star of The Piano, Anna Paquin, who happened a guest on Graham’s show. Anna Paquin THEN As “Flora” in The Piano Anna […]
I am overly impressed with the vibe being thrown by the new Cape Quarter, in the de Waterkant neighborhood of Green Point. Do yourself a favour and do a little fly-by along Somerset Road, opposite the BP (who are upgrading their shop to include some new kind of Pick ‘n Pay express vibe – much […]
My search for the best people, brands and places continues; as I simply cannot hold back from telling you about the dentist du jour! I hadn’t been to the dentist for a while and, with mother’s recent visit to Cape Town, it was impossible to avoid. She told me about this guy, and went on […]
It’s common knowledge that I am a big fan of the Woolies JT1 lingerie range (I’m not alone, it seems) and have never seen a better example of why this is, as on Saturday night at the JT1 fashion show which took place at Cape Town’s FTV Cafe. Every single girl involved was an absolute […]
I’m *cough* sure this website has all the right intensions but, honestly, from where I’m sitting it looks tailor made for middle-age affairs and mid-life crises (yes, that is how you spell the plural of “crisis”). Time for an upgrade? Pop on down to sugarcupid.com! The website goes for this vibe – and I quote: […]
The fact that capetowntrafficcam.co.za gives you live webcam footage of the traffic situation on Cape Town’s roads, is one thing – but there is surely nothing wrong with taking in the sites while you’re doing it? Check out these STUNNING pics spotted on the site this morning. Milnerton region Camps Bay beach Nothing […]
I know it’s incredibly late and for a man of my stature incredibly emboerrissing to say this, but I’ve only just started getting into The Sopranos. I left it too long, I know – especially for a series which has been hailed as one of the greatest series the world has ever seen. […]
I’ve never really had more than five positive visits in a row to the Camps Bay “Friendly” store and am surprised that I still visit the place, let alone get worked up about the shoddy service, stock take and queue times. If anything, they get an “A” for consistency. Last Sunday was no different. […]
We feature spicy products from time to time, here on the streets of 2oceansvibe. The recent past has featured some gems, including the so-ridiculous-it-must-be-real Comfort Wipe commercial, as well as the surely-not Sticky Nips advertisement. Now while these videos may seem a tad risqué to some, I remind you that they have all been featured […]
I’m really so impressed with the support shown for this campaign. It’s such a brilliant concept, which let’s you the public donate your old jeans to those who need them – in return for Levi’s shopping vouchers. Genius! So there was a live 5FM broadcast at UCT last Friday, which added another 405 […]
A handful of people send me links to this website called No Bucks, which is an “online portal of happy hours, specials and budget nights out in Cape Town.” I enjoyed the concept but didn’t know if it fitted “the vibe” correctly. But then I remembered that getting deals and paying less would take anyone […]
Here at 2oceansvibe we tread a fine line as we deliver images of the beautiful life, including beautiful places, beautiful brands, beautiful people and beautiful models . With eating disorders on the rise, this line of work can be a dangerous business. As editor, I am acutely aware of how impressionable some of our readers […]
You have spoken, and we have responded. Finally you are able to order De Grendel wine, Jack Black beer and Pussy Natural Energy drink online AND have it delivered to your door! I swear it. Our boys at Diletto have done the right thing and added the drinks to their online gourmet food and beverage […]
Can you even cope for a second with the fact that Kika-Sack have finally bowed to public pressure and added the colour pink to their range of Kika-Sack balls? Pink, ‘cos you are so very.. I know – it’s too awesome for words! And to celebrate the pink vibe, we’re giving away 50 […]
It’s common knowledge that Hugh Hefner ‘s life is loosely based on mine and I wish to expand on that. In particular, I am referring to the article entitled “Down the Rabbit Hole” featured in this weekend’s Lifestyle section of this weekend’s Sunday Times newspaper. The article discussed the newly-published author Izabella St James and […]
Twas earlier this year I showed you some wonderful images (here) of the hairdresser in the Woodstock region of Cape Town, claiming to be masters at the Obama Haircut. You may recall their tagline, “Looking neat is our target. Change your look? Yes we can!” You remember it now, right? If you don’t it seems […]
These things REALLY tweaked me when I first saw them. I used to have an extensive cassette music collection (far more than Jonty Fisher) and I couldn’t think of anything cooler to protect my iPod Nano. That’s obviously if I had an iPod Nano. But that’s not the point. The point is this: “What’s […]
This must be the find of the century! FINALLY, you can keep a beady eye on Cape Town’s traffic situation and possibly change your route and/or timing to suit. Just by going to THIS website. Check this out, taken yesterday at 17h23, as you get onto the N2 next to the entrance to le Waterfront. […]
