It’s not often that we find ourselves sitting opposite what is commonly referred to as a “supermodel.” That’s what the media around the world has referred to Landi Swanepoel as, ever since she exploded onto the scene a couple years back as the international face of Guess and as “that girl” from the iconic black […]
The New York based VICE Media company has launched a new broadband television network called VBS.TV. The footage they’ve got has been blowing a lot of people’s minds. They’re not shy to get down and dirty in some of the world’s most dangerous environments – like Liberia and Colombia. It’s basically identical to www.2oceansvibe.tv, except […]
The Montrose Foundation does not require much introduction, given its affiliation to Montrose Place, the Cape Town rehabilitation facility at which Tiger Woods was rumoured to be receiving treatment. Whether Tiger Woods will be there or not, the ‘Midsummer Melodies’ in the Gardens on De Grendel is not to be missed! The evening promises a […]
If you don’t know who David Thorne is, I’ll remind you – he is the genius that gave you the “spider drawing” email mayhem. Then there was the “Party in Apartment 3” escapade and the “design me a logo” piece of genius. But he didn’t stop there – our boy decided to give the people […]
When a guy gives you a bottle of tequila with a skull on it and tells you it’s locally made, you kind of want to run a mile. “What do you mean, locally made,” I asked the chap, as visions of Marcus Brain’s (The Kitesurfer) home-made beer and wine came to mind (my sight has […]
Got a very cool “heads-up” in my inbox from a 2oceansviber, directing me to this website which contains 125 rare photos of famous people. It’s quite similar to The Impossible Cool website I told you about some time ago, but this one takes pride in how RARE the photos are – virtually all of them […]
Time for a bit of culture, my love! For those of you who don’t know who Kehinde Wiley is, you’ll probably recognise his paintings, before you do his face. One things for sure – the guy is one of the world’s most sought-after artists and has a long list of famous clients, including the likes […]
2oceansvibe Character “The Surfer” (turned surf photographer), AKA Anthony Fox, has nailed it again with his fish like skills behind the camera. Not that fish are good at taking photographs, but because he is usually in the middle of a wave with a board coming towards his nose as he snaps the shots! His gallery […]
The Twenty Ten Cape Town Tens! BANG! Cape Town Feb 5-7, 2010 It’s back, my friends. Cape Town’s most anticipated rugby social weekend, the Cape Town Tens tournament is gonna kick it just as hard, but bigger, than last year. Do you remember people last year talking about that weekend they had which was more […]
The universe’s settings ensure that 2oceansvibe and the vibe in general will always prevail. Take for example this new Betwaycom commercial, which features no only 2oceansvibe Character G-Man, but also previous 2oceansvibe WeatherGirl, Lisa Cowley! G-Man is quite amazing when it comes to controlling his environment. “Almost magical” is how some people have referred to […]
The biggest burger cost you R3.15 in 1983. But enjoy this, 11 years earlier it cost 40c! Or try a three-egg omelette for 60c – gimmie a break! Take a trip down memory lane and recall your road-trips with the family – when you used to go “up-country” to visit your relatives. Wimpy was part […]
You’ve heard the rumours and now you can take it as gospel – SA’s first REAL edgy reality show launched last week. MAN TV, the 13-episode reality show following four single men around Cape Town as they try to pick up chicks and explain what goes on in their heads is sure to impress. I’ve […]
They say it’s important to write your goals down – then they become more real and more attainable. Whilst this may be good in a business sense, some lists should perhaps never be written down. Take, for example, the case of Chris and Katie, the Asian kids whose sibling rivalry spun out of control. Read […]
I’ve been getting a LOT of people asking me about the new 2oceansvibe Jobs and 2oceansvibe Villas banner ads currently displayed on the site. Including these two: 2oceansvibe Jobs 2oceansvibe Villas As much as I would love to claim it, I did not make the banner ads. I just used the same peeps I have […]
Nothing needs to be said. You’ll get the vibe as you read it. Just hold onto your seat – it’s toooo special! I just LOVED the comeback! No, I was JOKING!! Pick up the phone.. Brilliant! *cough* …evil, twisted cow. [thanks marcus]
A friend of my buddies over at TheBombSurf, Gary Green, has written a book called Stand At Ease – a hilarious account of Green’s time in the South African Defence Force. Simon Burrow, over at LivingStylishlyWell.com (somewhere in the French Luberon Valley – poor thing) also served his time in the army, and gave it […]
Yesterday’s story about the secret businessman who had a dream and went to Table Mountain to gave his Audi R8 to two car guards, has become the talk of the town. With this morning’s e-TV revelations that he also gave away his house, we simply must find out more! 2oceansvibe got hold of a telephone […]
No, I am not spicing you. The unidentified man bought the car (and Audi R8) in December (probably from Audi Centre Cape Town) for around R1.4m and reckons that he had a dream, telling him to come to Table Mountain. So he rocks up at the mountain, asks the car guards who has drivers licenses […]
Everyone is raving about these “Authentic Sessions” at Cafe Caprice, featuring local musicians and DJ’s in the DJ box, spinning tunes that they feel have been an influence on their music and their vibe in general. 340ml are playing tonight – apparently it’s gonna be “off the chain.” Zebra & Giraffe on Friday (don’t tell […]
Pay attention, gang, because this is important. One of earth’s funniest stand-up comedians is coming to Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg. And if you don’t know who the straight cross-dressing Eddie Izzard is, then just CLICK HERE to get a whiff of what you’re dealing with. Eddie Izzard Tonight tells us: That Eddie Izzard will […]
Bzzzzt.. my head nearly exploded trying to compute that headline. Sorry, did you say Megan Fox and Armani and underwear and pictures in the same sentence? You’re Goddamn right I did! BANG! Megan Fox for Armani underwear Fashionistas and most-males alike may recall the news that Megan Fox was taking over the Armani underwear gig […]
Seriously, give yourselves a big hand! I got in touch with the guys behind the Levi’s Get Rid Of Your Jeans For Good campaign we all jumped on at the end of last year. Remember the one which had Levi’s paying you money for your old jeans? Ja, that one. So anyway, I was dying […]
Let’s chat about the current “vibe” I’m going for.. I’ve been getting a lot of attention about two things lately. My new shades, and the shirts I’ve been throwing around. People say that I have been “killing it” and they want to know where the goods are from. Look, that’s fair enough.. So instead of […]
I didn’t think it would work, when I was first told about @yourlunchrun, the new Twitter account guy whose Twitter page tells us, “Don’t have time for a run? I’ll do it for your lazy Ass. Just enjoy the ‘time out’ and even send requests to make it YourRun – GO!” Apparently he heads off […]
With the signature 2oceansvibe slogan telling us, “Work is a sideline, Live the holiday,” there were two very obvious things that needed to be addessed. First was the launch of 2oceansvibe Jobs – a website which showcases all temporary, freelance and part-time jobs available in Cape Town and beyond. No permanent 9-5 jobs will be […]
I don’t need to remind you about South Africa’s premiere social event happening on Saturday – the annual L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Horse Race at Kenilworth Race Course in Cape Town. And if you haven’t got your ducks in a row, best you pop down to Computicket right now to secure your tickets. Rather I should […]
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 […]
Any Capetonian worth their salt should know about Olympia Café in Kalk Bay – where a complete disregard for decor is met head on with possibly the most incredible food you will ever experience. And the staff believe it too, as we (The Muse and I) arrived at the front door last weekend, just in […]
Yesterday’s Good Morning Headlines made mention of the Burj Dubai, the tallest building in the world, which officially opened on January 4, 2010. The Burj Dubai [photo: boston.com] But it’s not just the tallest building in the world, it’s also: Current records • Tallest skyscraper to top of spire: 818 m (2,684 ft) (previously Taipei […]
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 […]
