YOU CAN STAY AT MY PLACE, ARJEN
06 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
No spice, the Dutch soccer team needs a place to stay. While the Uruguayans were getting an undeserved peaceful night’s sleep in Newlands (despite a small Twitter campaign calling for Capetonians to please “not” blow vuvuzelas and bang drums outside their rooms), the dutchies were bumming around the Cape of Good Hope looking for a […]

18 Jun 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
“Taf” from Sketchbooktrails contacted me about doing an oil painting of yours truly. I had never had an “oil” done of me and was more than flattered by the gesture – especially since she said she was also doing one of Goldfish (The Blonde and Baby Jesus) “Sure thing,” I told her. “Do I have […]

I just got my latest issue of Car Magazine in the post and spotted the all-new Jaguar XJ on the cover. Jeepers, but that is a beauty! The Cape Royale has been driving me around in the XF which has been an absolute dream, but I must say I wouldn’t mind an upgrade, if there’s […]

GRAND DADDY HOTEL VALET NOT LIKELY TO GET A TIP
20 Apr 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 8 Comments
Word on the street is that a valet attendant employed by the four star Grand Daddy on Long Street may have allegedly abused his position last Saturday night. And when we say “abused his position”, what we really mean to say is “stole a Grand Daddy client’s Mini Cooper Sport, and wrecked it Jub Jub […]

THE WESTCLIFF HOTEL, JOHANNESBURG
12 Apr 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
By now you will be well aware of the fact that I am seldom lured from my salubrious surroundings. Ubiquitous annual jaunts to south of France, LA and the med notwithstanding, tearing myself away from The Safe House and the majesty of Cape Town is not an activity I enter into lightly. Hence a trip […]

COME OVER AND PLAY IN THE EQUINOX SPA..
16 Mar 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Basically, you can get a glass of bubbly, a facial, a manicure, a pedicure or massage and valet parking, for roughly the same price as you get a sandwich from Melissa’s! That’s how the Equinox Spa at my primary residence, the Cape Royale hotel, is rolling at the moment. Personally I’ve had close on 500 […]

ULIGHTNING XESHA
10 Mar 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 7 Comments
I was always amazed that the band LIVE had a song which made use of the Xhosa dialect. But, in hindsight, it’s not that amazing. After all it did appear on their album Throwing Copper which came out in 1994 – the same year Nelson Mandela became president. So it was probably a tribute to […]

HOW TO BLOW R100 MILLION
22 Feb 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Wonderful individual we have here before us. One Michael Carroll, of Norfolk, UK, won 9.7 million Pounds in a European lottery. The former dustman blew the lot, since the 2002 windfall. It’s a stunning path of destruction which ended with Michael currently putting his mansion on the market to scrape up some change – for […]

18 Feb 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
Is this REALLY news? I would be celebrating and popping the champagne, if the news came as a surprise. But it doesn’t. I mean, is it wrong to expect these kind of accolades from 2oceansvibe brands and sponsors? Are we not perhaps numbed by the success of the associated brands and advertisers and people on […]

MISSING DOG – “COME IN, MOSCOW”
14 Jan 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 6 Comments
Please, dear God, do not see this as the start of a trend. We do NOT post lost dog ads on 2oceansvibe. But I just thought the rareness of receiving a lost dog ad in my inbox would be enough reason for this “one-off.” It’s very “niche,” don’t you think? And I am SO niche […]

In November I alerted you about the Seth Rotherham feature in the ELLE Magazine. I didn’t publish it in full on these pages, as the magazine was still in circulation. It is now off the shelves and has coincidentally become one of their most successful issues ever. Weird.. especially with that issue of YOU Magazine […]

GRANGER BOULEVARD – THE ULTIMATE ROAD TO THE WATERFRONT
05 Jan 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 4 Comments
Yesterday I “tweeted” something about the magical road that transports you from the new Green Point circle (next to the stadium) directly to the Waterfront (the preferred back entry near the Radisson hotel). There is no easier route to get to the Waterfront. Even if I was driving into town from the N2, I would […]
