When French photographer Sacha Goldberger found out his 91-year-old grandmother was suffering from depression, he did the most rational thing French photographer Sacha Goldberger could think of: he dressed his grandmother up in superhero outfits around town and took photos of her until she stopped being depressed.
Here at 2oceansvibe, phone etiquette is paramount; if I hear a phone ringing and I think it might be mine, I reserve the right to lose my shit. Another thing we care about is being well-dressed, or at least pretending like we do; and now those two pleasures are combined in a single fancy product.
Oh yes people, the McLaren MP4-12C is here. This supercar is what dreams are made of and it is definitely set to cause a stir in the performance stakes. It’s light, very light with even the engraved rather than raised lettering McLaren detail saving 2 g of weight!
Kevin Mealamu is a talented individual. Not only is the master of getting away with blatant head butts (yawn), but also he is pretty masterful at driving a tank. Competing with fellow ABs Conrad Smith and Piri Weepu, Mealamu shows that even if he was out of rugby for months, he could combine his head butting and tank-driving skills to become quite the serviceman. [VIDEO]
Blue Bulls Murder Conspiracy – After the kind of year that they’ve had one wonders how it is that the Blue Bulls manage to stay competitive, let alone win at the top level of rugby. Police have confirmed the arrest of a middle aged woman over an alleged plot to murder a Blue Bulls player […]
Jeez, don’t hate us ‘cos we interviewed one of the godfathers of rap on 2oceansvibe Radio. Regular listeners have become quite used to this vibe – Plush today, Spud yesterday (with Arno Carstens), Simon Le Bon the other day. It’s endless. But for now, check out this interview Chuck D did with our lunch hosts, Luca & Josie!
One of the advantages of being in the Puma ‘stable’ is they do sometimes make the mistake of letting me invite my friends to shop for nearly half price. But they forget that this would include 60,000 2oceansvibers out there, like yourself. So, that said, move your ass and email 2oceansvibe@puma.co.za with your name and […]
We’re certainly no stranger to the clustercuss that is Kanye West. We’ve recently discussed the banning of his questionable album cover and now we bring you the interview that caused his media trainer to quit after just three days on the job.
Glenn Agliotti, accused of involvement in the murder of failed mining magnate Brett Kebble, at the Johannesburg High Court on 17 November 2010. Arguments were heard for the dismissal of the charges against Agliotti, which include a charge of murder, one of attempted murder and two counts of conspiracy to commit murder. (Photo by Gallo […]
That’s right ladies and gentlemen. Due to unprecedented demand, Mr Adriaan Willem Bergh has re-posted his Mr South Africa 2011 promotional video to YouTube (you saw it here first), and he’s directed us to it. If this is the kind of treatment we’re getting before he wins, just imagine the true pleasure we’re in for following his victory.
The teaser trailer for Cowboys & Aliens is out. The title may be a little worrisome for you, and maybe you’re afraid that, with Harrison Ford being there, this is going to be some sort of Morning-Glory-esque weep-fest starring Rachel McAdams. I put it to you that this movie is going to be the best thing in your life when it gets released.
Movember is a time when men support other men with prostate cancer by growing moustaches. It’s a beautiful thing. But many women, understandably, feel a little left out – how can they offer support? Ideally, they can’t grow moustaches of their own, and fake moustaches are uncomfortable, if not downright insulting. Asylum has the answer: on November 18, ‘women can support the cause by making love to a man with a glorious, wooly mustache.’
It seems that social media impersonators are creating a bit of discomfort within the Springbok camp. While I’m not sure I have found any that are intended to deceive the public (and media), I did find a rather comical example dedicated to one Bakkies Botha. More after the jump.
It was an action-packed day yesterday at 2oceansvibe Radio, as we received not only the star of Spud, Troye Silvan, but also SA Rock legend, Arno Carstens. Just a normal day at the office, over at 2oceansvibe Radio. Download the podcast if you missed it and be sure to tune in every day, as we […]
Is Esquire’s November Issue Too Sexy For The App Store? – The print edition of Esquire’s November issue, featuring the newly crowned “sexiest woman alive,” Minka Kelly, hit newsstands in mid-October — yet four weeks after it was submitted to Apple for approval, the iPad edition of the issue has yet to appear in the […]

If you missed last year’s concert you must feel like a real plonker. Especially when everyone told you that it was one of the greatest days of their lives. Even Ard Matthews thinks it was their greatest concert ever. What’s more, Just Jinjer want to better last year and kill it again. Thus Sunday, Kirstenbosch […]
It didn’t take long for the inevitable parodies of our Mr South Africa hero, Adriaan Bergh, to start travelling the interwebs. While this latest Mr South Africa wannabe certainly has potential, he unfortunately lacks the fifth and most important characteristic that we look for in a Mr South Africa which is, of course, access to a golf cart.
Hatsune Mikue is an apparently ‘realistic’ holographic singing idol, massively popular in Japan. ‘Sure,’ you might say to yourself, ‘I’m big in Japan too,’ to which I say shut up, that wasn’t funny when your dad said it thirty years ago either. A thing that isn’t real sold out a 25,000-person stadium. This is how the world ends – with hologram designed by a company called ‘Crypton Future Media.’
If you’re wondering just exactly what the diamond that we discussed earlier looks like, take a gander at that.
I think you’ll agree that it’s quite modest. Although it dwarfs the ring Prince William gave to his fiancé.
Capetonian Desert Marathon Runner, Ryan Sandes could become the first person in history to win all four of the world famous Desert Races. He starts the fourth and final Desert Race today in sunny Antarctica. He’s facing some stiff competition, as well as temperatures hovering around the -33 degrees Celsius mark.
Stallone surprised us when he resurrected Rocky with Rocky Balboa, stunned us when he tied the red hair band on for John Rambo and nearly killed himself trying to make The Expendables. Broken neck aside… Stallone pulled it off – he made us believe…
In this heat and with the crap traffic all over the road, how can you justify NOT getting a Vespa? Especially when it works out cheaper than any other bike. And that’s before you apply the secret 2oceansvibe discount.. Hope you like that pic. I took it this morning. I’m running a few errands today […]
NASA recently released a couple of photos taken from inside the International Space Station with the newly-fitted Cuppola module, which is a big ol’ window looking down on earth. The ISS is essentially a fancy glass bottomed-boat. With attractive astronaut ladies in it. I’m not even kidding, look at the photo after the jump.
Fellow Capetonians! You may, or may not be aware that Bafana Bafana will be clashing with the United States of America on the hallowed field of Cape Town Stadium this very evening at 21h30. The game is sold out, so needless to say, a fair number of pedestrians and vehicles will be thronging the streets. Thus, for your benefit, a list of road closure times around the city today.
You notice how that guy in your block of flats who hits the reefer regularly always seem a little mentally slower off the mark? Shockingly, a new study has revealed that smoking weed regularly lowers cognitive function, especially if you started smoking before you were 16. I think (the irony) I speak for all of us when I say we were all younger than 16 when we started smoking weed

Bafana Bafana tackle the USA in the annual Nelson Mandela Challenge this evening at the Cape Town stadium. A win for the hosts will catapult them into FIFA’s top 40 ranked teams, from their current position at 52. Man, the Mother City is gonna be buzzing..
A big thumbs-down is what they’re giving it, on the cigarette-pack warnings found in Chile. It is interesting to note the contrast between them and the yanks, who have just introduced new warnings which show graphic imagery on their packs, comparing cigarettes to mainlining heroimn. The direct Google translation of the text, by the way, […]
William Gave Kate Diana’s Engagement Ring – Kate joined William at St James’s Palace during their first public appearance since the announcement. On her finger was the engagement ring, a gorgeous 18 carat blue sapphire surrounded by smaller diamonds. It was the same engagement ring as his late mother Princess Diana wore. William explained the […]
