TABLE MOUNTAIN NEEDS YOU
30 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
I am writing this from a café somewhere in Paris as The Muse downs another glass of rosé and the waiters eyeball me, wondering when exactly we will be ordering dinner (I’m going for the fish). That said, this is going to be a quick one. But an important one, nonetheless. It’s to do with […]

NEWLANDS AVENUE PENIS GRAFFITI
25 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 13 Comments
Some of you will recall the incredible story reported by the BBC and the Guardian (here) with regards to the teenager who drew a massive 60-foot penis on the roof of his parents mansion in West Berkshire. He wanted to see if it would be picked up by Google Earth. His parents found out about […]

Do you remember the other day I featured (here ) that picture painted on a wall in Cape Town of the “Simunyes?” You know, the African style ripoff of The Simpsons? Let’s get a quick recap of that. The eSimpowenis Well, either way, I got an email from Eric at Springleap who told […]

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 […]

SEND FREE ROOIBOS TEA TO A FRIEND – NO SPICE!
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 […]

FREE BEER ON SEA POINT PROMENADE
18 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
A frothy phenomenon unique to Cape Town’s Sea Point Promenade, are the lager-like foam blowholes; the result of the pressure from the ocean waves blasting through a series of storm water vents positioned on the lawns. A stunning visual treat, slowly becoming more of a drawcard for the tourists flocking to these shores. Photo […]

REVOLTING KLOOF STREET STUDIOS STATUE FALLS OVER IN STORM
18 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 6 Comments
Whilst it may not contain as much symbolism as, say, the US army pulling down the statue of Saddam Hussein, I think this might be a silent victory for a number of people who work and frequent the area surrounding Long Kloof Studios , Kloof Street, Cape Town. This weekend’s storm was so big and […]

ROLLING WITH THE PUMA LIFESTYLE VIBE
11 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 6 Comments
This is how I’m rolling at the moment. I have just returned from a weekend away in Kommetjie where The Muse and I looked after The Surfer‘s pad. I offloaded the car into The Safe House and took in the sight of my new Puma bag, shoes and jacket. I liked what I saw and […]

THE WHOLE CITY SUBMERGED IN MIST
07 May 2009 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
This incredible shot was sent in today by Mark C, showing the view of Cape Town from the Tygerberg region (home to De Grendel wines). Quite something! An ocean of cloud God only knows what is going on under that blanket!

FLYING PIGS
05 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
Spotted in Cape Town, seemingly with reference to the global SWINE FLU outbreak and its possible spread in and around the Cape Flats. Oh dear me. We seriously need to work on our spelling guys. Are you aware that one word can change the story completely? And are you aware that two words […]

IT’S TRACTOR TIME WITH THE SURFER!
29 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
Role play has always been enjoyed here at 2oceansvibe. You may have picked up that The Roofer enjoys quite a bit of surfing exposure, whilst The Surfer himself has recently been spotted (with great success , I might add) trying his hand at photography (here). Not that this should effect the title of The Photographer. […]

28 YEAR OLD CAPETONIAN BLOGS ABOUT HER DIVORCE
21 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 10 Comments
Ok, it’s not just about her divorce, but she is going through one. I’m told on good authority that she is a 28 year old “smoking hot” white Capetonian, working in the city bowl who swears and takes sleeping pills. Right up your alley, perhaps? The website is called This Is The Life (TITL) and […]

CLAREMONT ESTATE AGENCY USING PLAYBOY BUNNIES TO SELL HOUSES
15 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
I took a double take, nay, a triple take this weekend as I browsed through the property section of the Weekend Argus. The first thing that jumped out of the Vineyard Estates page was the fact that the estate agent featured for the one property had a superimposed bow-tie on. How bizarre, I thought to […]

THE NATIONAL SKIRT PROJECT – LET’S HAVE THAT CHAT
08 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 10 Comments
I didn’t want to get into this, as it is clearly a publicity stunt of sorts, but the emails don’t seem to be stopping and I simply have to say SOMETHING about it. I’m talking about this “National Skirt Extension Project” thing that is being advertised everywhere. So check it out. Here are the ads […]

BEST. PARKING. EVER!
07 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
“Kudos” obsessives will definitely give the audacious driver of this Vespa “kudos” for his/her parking ON Camps Bay beach . It is SO brazen, SO radical and SO brilliantly rude, that we should do nothing but stand and applaud. In the words of Montell Jordan.. “THIS IS HOW WE DO IT!” Stand up from […]

WATERFRONT BAN “PARK ANYWHERE” RULE
06 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
It had to happen. After many years of stoned Capetonian antics and the general “park anywhere” mentality, The V&A Waterfront security team have had enough and are now, surprisingly, clamping vehicles who park “in the middle of nowhere.” “Middle of nowhere” parking is now an offence“Oh my God! It’s like you can’t do ANYTHING […]

I must admit I have NEVER come across these things before, so I’ll let Mano run you through them: Hey Seth, Just as Crocs wind down I find these guys. VERY naughty! Some oke was wearing these at the UCT match just now. Normal as ever. Just standing there watching. As if […]

WHY IS EVERYBODY PULLING FACES?
01 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
What is this, kindergarten? It seems we can no longer communicate using words and the latest vibe for leaders of the world is to pull faces. This stunning comparison, showing the covers of today’s Cape Times and Business Day broadsheets, is case in point. The Dalai Lama pretends to be the devil Whilst JZ […]

NANDO’S AD FOR AMOR
01 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
I trust everyone has seen the Nando’s ad for Joost? I put it up two days ago (here) and still received it 20 times yesterday in my inbox (could we please address this issue, friends). So anyway, someone has mocked-up ANOTHER Nando’s ad, addressed to Joost van der Westhuizen’s wife, Amor. This one is clearly […]

TABLE MOUNTAIN UP FOR NEW 7 WONDERS OF THE WORLD
01 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
While the Vaal Dam is pretty impressive, Table Mountain is the only local landmark that has made the second round of the “New 7 Wonders of the World.” And by “second round” I mean 261 magnificent natural sites from 222 countries. Oh, I’ve just noticed that they’re all natural… That’s probably why the Vaal Dam […]

Today is the last days of voting for the 2009 South African Blog Awards. It’s a great opportunity for those of you out there that haven’t voted, to do your thing. It is the only way to keep 2oceansvibe going. I can almost guarantee you that if you don’t vote, 2oceansvibe will be no more. […]

NEW HOME AFFAIRS SERVICE CHECKS IF YOU’RE ALIVE
25 Mar 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 13 Comments
I’m so stoked. The South African Department of Home Affairs obviously believe that pinching yourself is not enough. They have very cleverly released an incredibly useful new online verification service, which let’s you type in your ID number and find out if you’re dead or alive! I know – how awesome? Of course I’m not […]

Whilst I am certainly 100% behind this cause, I must say, I’m also very excited to actually WITNESS us pulling it off. And by “us,” I mean “the world.” That’s what they’re aiming for; you realise that, right? The whole WORLD is turning off the lights for one hour on March 28. Because of varying […]

THE DALAI LAMA IS “VERY DISAPPOINTED” WITH US
24 Mar 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 8 Comments
Nobel peace laureate and Richard Gere’s best mate, The Dalai Lama, is “very disappointed” by South Africa’s decision denying him a visa to enter South Africa. This, following intense pressure from China, who despise His Holiness. I really must apologise, bru – if we had anything to do with it, you know you’d get a […]
