19 Oct 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
At a glittering function, coincidentally held at Seth’s Johannesburg residence, The Westcliff Hotel, GQ last night hosted the Best Dressed Men In SA Awards. And what an evening it was, as the who’s who of South African fashionati came out to play. Even more exciting was the fact that your very own Seth Rotherham walked away with the top honours!

12 Oct 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
My fellow 1800 fans will be pleased to hear that they have launched their new Summer Menu! And they’re doing it properly too, with a ridiculous new R169 Summer Menu Promotion.

THE PECKHAM TERMINATOR

Those of us who have lived, or are currently living in the UK, will have seen scenes like these. On an almost daily basis, I might add. Freaks are not hard to come by in London or any big first world city, for that matter. Jonty Fisher just came back from New York and says […]

MY RESIDENCE, THE CAPE ROYALE HOTEL, GETS IT’S SECOND ‘WORLD LUXURY HOTEL’ AWARD
07 Sep 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Yawn.. It’s not altogether surprising that the Cape Royale hotel has nailed another World Luxury Hotel award – they are, after all, a 2oceansvibe Partner and winning awards for excellence is pretty much standard around here. And I’m not talking about the standards the hotel has set when it comes to “boutique fully-serviced hotel’ living, […]

THIS IS WHY I LOVE LOS ANGELES
07 Sep 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
This was just MMS’d to me by The Advertiser, who took this pic on his phone, somewhere in Venice Beach. No-one bats an eyelid at stuff like this around Los Angeles – it’s completely normal! ‘Awesome’ doesn’t even begin to describe it. I mean, seriously, there is so much to talk about. The tassels.

27 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Are you underpaid, undervalued, and sidelined at work? Are you feeling brave? Then QUIT! QUIT I TELL YOU! Everyone else is striking, why not one-up those public-sector amateurs? But if you’re going to do it, you absolutely have to do it in style, like (yes, we know it’s fake), or this. But writing, photography, and […]

THERE’S NO ACCOUNTING FOR GLOBAL TASTE
25 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Singapore – Doesn’t suck We’re already living in a global village. So the idea of national borders is becoming increasingly strained. Gallup has released data describing where in this big village respondents would re-locate if exorbitant costs (i.e. Visas and travel fees) and international borders weren’t part of the process. “Sulplise!” Most people said they’d […]

We’re pretty blown away by the response to the “Seth Song” we’ve been playing fairly regularly, over at 2oceansvibe Radio. It’s not only a damn funny tune, but I tell you what – it’s got the heads bopping too! Apparently The Assembly lost their minds to it last Saturday! The guys behind the tune are […]

05 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
So we wrote recently about Gordon Ramsay making an ever so slightly unceremonious exit from Cape Town, and specifically, the One & Only hotel. Needless to say, The Big Bad Potty Mouth and his cronies are slightly upset about this. I mean, it must leave a little bit of a sting to be tossed out […]

02 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 10 Comments
When Sol Kerzner enlisted the expertise of the man who is arguably the world’s most popular chef, Gordon Ramsay, he would have felt confident that the star food aspect of his monstrous V&A Waterfront hotel, the One and Only, was buttoned tight.

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 […]
