GAME STORES NOW SELLING FUCKSWARE PRODUCTS
14 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I don’t know what is more alarming – the fact that the manufacturer would give their product a name that can be so easily mistaken for a swear word (Fuchsware), or the fact that the person writing the sign didn’t double check the spelling. Nonetheless, the result is quite stunning. This, spotted in a local […]

THE ROUNDHOUSE RESTAURANT IN CAMPS BAY
13 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

THE BEST DARN DVD STORE IN CAPE TOWN
12 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

THE TBG AND THE DUDE GET KIKA-SACK RECORD
07 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I was very impressed when the box of 2oceansvibe Kika-Sack balls arrived at my door. With the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup hitting town in the not-too-distant future, I couldn’t think of a better branding exercise. I mean, check how cool are these little guys? 2oceansvibe branded KIKA-SACK balls I know! How stunning? So […]

ONE OF THE REASONS I STEER CLEAR OF PICK N PAY
19 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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]

TOPSHOP RENEWS KATE MOSS CONTRACT
18 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Amazing – remember a couple of years back when Kate Moss was caught snorting cocaine and everyone said that she was finished. There were stacks of labels and high-end beauty products cancelling their deals with her, embarrassed by the association. Hmm, kyk how lyk hy nou! Kate Moss has apparently re-signed her deal with Topshop […]

THE WAY OF THE VIRUS
27 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I am “between” laptops at the moment and am using an old beast (not too old – running XP) I had locked in a cupboard far far away. Apart from the trip down memory lane, courtesy of the old pictures and videos I found on the hard drive (not very good quality – the size […]

BUTLERS PIZZA AT THE CAPE GRACE
27 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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. […]

EX-PATS – TIDY UP YOUR SHIT
21 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I really wish we had these things in my day in London. My God, we hoarded a lot of crap. I remember carting a life-size Scooby Doo cardboard cut-out from digs to digs, all over London – along with the other crap (larva lamp included). I never did see the irony in boasting that the […]

IT FEELS LIKE IT DID THE FIRST TIME
20 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
You will recall the sheer childlike exuberance I expressed the day I bought my Louis Vuitton shades (click here for that story), back in July. then imagine the sheer heartbreak I felt when those very sunglasses BROKE last week on Wednesday. The actual frame broke – not an arm or anything minor – the fucking […]

PUT ANOTHER BRANDED SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE
18 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
As the folks pack up in Oz and head off to Provence to add the final touches to the bastide, a moment was spared to scan a page from an Australian magazine and email it to me. This time, it was an ad for Christmas “gifts for him.” which included the BBQ Brand and the […]

WOOLIES WINE FESTIVAL DEBUT
10 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HATH MADE
05 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
We’ve chatted before about this lovely game the Atlantic Ocean plays from time to time, called “lake-lake.” That’s what it is doing today. It usually comes with an ever-so-thin haze in the sky, causing the ocean to look almost metallic in colour. Camps Bay – todayvery kak Yup, that’s the one. So anyway, […]

PUT A PREGO INSIDE YOUR BODY
31 Oct 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

PARTNERS AT THE WATERFRONT DO NOT ACCEPT AMERICAN EXPRESS
30 Oct 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’ve wanted to mention this for quite some time and finally got it done this morning. It is well documented that I use Redken Maneuver as my hair product of choice. It comes in at a reassuringly expensive price and is only available in actual salons. Like the Partners “Hair Design” (hilarious) chain of salons. […]

TIK TESTS AVAILABLE AT CAMPS BAY 7-ELEVEN
02 Oct 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I was surprised, amused and concerned (all at the same time) when I spotted this TIK test in the local 7-Eleven. Or, “Friendly” Store as it is actually called. It doesn’t make a difference what the place is called; it will never deter from the fact that it has always, and will always, have the […]

FINE
26 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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, […]

23 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It was a stunning affair last week as I attended the launch of the new Tracy McGregor Summer range at Blue Bay Clothing in Green Point. You’ll remember Tracy was recently voted the Hottest Woman in South Africa 2008 by FHM Magazine. Yup, that’s the one As the new face of Blue Bay […]

DANCING MANNEQUINS
22 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’m not sure if it was their intention, but I could barely breathe from laughter as I watched a guy in a hoodie dancing in the window at the Apple Store in Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront shopping centre, a few weeks back. I knelt down on my knees and thanked God that I had my […]

JACK BLACK ON TAP AT CAPRICE AND MOUNT NELSON
17 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments

REDISCOVER YOUR INNER SIX PACK FOR SUMMER
16 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

TABASCO TEQUILA
10 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Damnit I want this inside me. Look how beautiful it is. Look at that classic logo with those FLAMES on top! Can you imagine drinking tequila infused with Tabasco? That’s pretty much as close as you’ll ever get to having your cake and eating it. Or, in this case, downing it. On your own. At […]

LALESSO KEEPS IT COMING
09 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It was only Lalesso that lifted our spirits as The Muse and I attended another school project that was handed in a few weeks ago, this time entitled “Cape Town Fashion Week.” Once again we were treated to scenes and people and “organising” that INSISTS on giving the impression that this is all being done […]

MAN KILLED BY ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE
03 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’ll be completely honest, I have NEVER found an anti-virus software program that I like, let alone one that works. There is ALWAYS something wrong with it. It either slows down my computer to a grinding halt (keeping earth in orbit requires a large number of programs to be running simultaneously on my computer) or […]

I BOUGHT MY FIRST BIALETTI MOKA EXPRESS
20 Aug 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]
