PUSSY NATURAL ENERGY DRINK – FROM CAPE TOWN TO L.A.
11 Aug 2009 by Jasmine Stone / 14 Comments
I’ve been toying with this Pussy Natural Energy Drink for a while. You’ll remember the first mention of the energy drink was in one of the 2oceansvibe Weather Girls shows with the smoking hot Genevieve Morton (here and here). You see, the guys at Pussy (www.pussydrinks.com) were trying to get me to drink it for […]

STRANGE FOODS ROUNDUP
28 Jul 2009 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
The Spar on Kloof, which is famous for its loose Russians (here) is now diversifying even further into the realm of hilariousness with their latest product line – Ass Rolls.. (Thanks Delamaine) Very interesting vibe they’re going for there. It’s ironic that corbohydrates are usually blamed for the extra weight people put on in […]

20 Jul 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
Whilst the TBG’s (Tall Blonde Guy) spell is being felt and discussed as far afield as New York, I received this TBG sighting over the weekend. In a very rarely seen twist of fate, a Capetonian managed to double up an incredible 33rd birthday with a TBG sighting! I mean, REALLY, what are the chances!!?? […]

MARINA AND “THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK” – PREMIUM EVENTS AND PR MAGIC
07 Jul 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I am often asked how my friend Billy Zane and I became acquainted – a meeting which resulted in an interview with the Titanic star on one of the 2oceansvibe shows. “Quite simple,” I usually tell them, “Marina took care of the Harley Davidson launch (here ) a few months back and Billy was there.” […]

STEAMY NEW WOOLWORTHS JEANS AD!!
07 Jul 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
Nice to see Woolworths aren’t scared to sex it up a little bit when the moment takes it. This video must have given the Woolworth’s ultra-conservatives a heart attack! Two things to be aware of – the track in the background is Fort Knox by Goldfish (my personal fave tune of theirs) and the main […]

HALF PRICE SALE AT MABU VINYL
07 Jul 2009 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It was too easy yesterday. I popped into Vida e on Kloof Road and then waltzed over to Mabu Vinyl, just opposite (in the road leading into the Vida entrance – Rheede Street) to pick up some records. I called the owner, Sugar, from the South of France on the day that Michael Jackson died. […]

WOOLWORTHS AREN’T TAKING ANY CHANCES
06 Jul 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 12 Comments
I cruised into Woolies on Saturday with The Photographer (who just won a bronze lion at Cannes for this, I might add) and spotted something I had never seen before. “Suck me sideways!!” I yelled, “look at THIS!!” Woolworths have now erected a “complementary sanitising wipes” station next to the trolleys. It dispenses wet-wipes for […]

THE WOLF OF WALL STREET – BY JORDAN BELFORT
24 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
I don’t read a lot of books and when I do they usually have to be non-fiction and/or biographies. It takes a lot for me to pick one up on recommendation and, when I do get to that point, I usually don’t get past half way. I’m happy to say that this is not the […]

With Alec Baldwin’s recent faux pas regarding Filipino brides (here) you would think the Spar on Kloof Street would be more subtle? Naughty R9.12 for some loose Russians!? My goodness, it’s a steal! [thanks si]

THE COMFORT WIPE COMMERCIAL
17 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 7 Comments
Ok. Unlike the unresearched photos that The Insurance Broker was sending around (here) of some photos taken onboard as the Air France flight was going down, this commercial is not a hoax. It is an ad for the Comfort Wipe which makes a certain bathroom activity that little bit easier. They claim that it is […]

CONSUMER REVENGE
16 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 14 Comments
This one jumped out at me. Firstly because I appreciate the extent to which the fella freaked out and, secondly, because I used to own the exact same car and can categorically state that I have never (and will never again) deal with worse service from ANY brand than I did with Land Rover Cape […]

I received an sms from Caro at My Life Organised a week ago saying, “your appointment at the French Embassy was this morning – I’ll call them later and let you know how it went.” What? Who? Shit, did I miss an appointment to get my Shengen visa for my upcoming overseas trip?We had met […]

COSMO’S VANESSA RAPHAELY WANTS A PIECE
30 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 4 Comments
Gee whiskers! I don’t know if I should tell everyone that I cracked a mention in this month’s Cosmopolitan Magazine’s Editor’s Letter, or if I should keep it quiet so no one finds out I bought the mag before I heard about it! Not that you can blame me for buying it. Try this cover […]

19 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 47 Comments
Oh dear, it really is a sad state of affairs. We have been reporting the iStore/Core Group saga to you since last week. It began with my personal account of a dismal experience in the Waterfront iStore (here), which ended up with me going next door to Incredible Connection. I then followed up […]

18 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Please don’t say I don’t think of you! I was pretty impressed with this and thought it might appeal to the homesick ex-pats over there in London. Especially seeing as it features one of those unique South African flavours – Rooibos tea. So not only will you be scoring freebies, you’ll be doing a good […]

Sail enthusiasts and expensive sports nuts alike, should be aware that leg seven of the boating world’s Formula One, the Volvo Ocean Race, began yesterday in one of my favourite parts of The United States, Boston.

APPLE CORE’S DEAFENING SILENCE CONTINUES
16 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 19 Comments
With the comments section of our original Waterfront Apple Mac iStore article closing in on the 100 mark, Core’s non-response seems very much in line with those same comments. And I doubt they aren’t aware of it. When the comments section includes responses from current and ex-employees, as well as the owner of the Claremont […]

FOOSBALL DESIGN DREAMS
11 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
I spotted a pretty cool competition going on at Foozi.co.za (local foosball manufaturing company) targeted at local ad agencies and designers. It’s a pretty rad idea, with the best foosball table design winning their very own branded foosball table! Quite nice. I had a little poke around and there are some pretty sick designs. […]

CYCLISTS NOT GOOD FOR BUSINESS
11 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 8 Comments
Public sentiment and general hygiene concern has come to the fore, as more and more restaurants country-wide are now blatantly refusing entry to ALL cyclists, let alone those who refuse to wear their helmets while they dine – a very particular complaint that we have, here at 2oceansvibe. This, from Remo’s restaurant, just outside Mount […]

04 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 7 Comments
Now I’m sure you spotted those Woolworths Mother’s Day ads around 2oceansvibe. Mm, it gave you a fright, didn’t it? Mother’s Day always seems to creep up on me. It’s one of those tricky ones, because it’s not a set date. It’s one of those “second Sunday in the month” vibes. It IS in May, […]

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 […]
