It’s common knowledge that Hugh Hefner ‘s life is loosely based on mine and I wish to expand on that. In particular, I am referring to the article entitled “Down the Rabbit Hole” featured in this weekend’s Lifestyle section of this weekend’s Sunday Times newspaper. The article discussed the newly-published author Izabella St James and […]
White 31 year old, Brandon Huntley, has managed to get as far as he can from the Mowbray mean streets. Canada were happy to take him on. This, from the Ottawa Sun : An Ottawa man has been granted refugee status after an immigration board panel ruled he would be likely be persecuted if […]
A buddy of mine is a partner at the Simbavati River Lodge , which is situated in the northern sector of the Timbavati Nature Reserve. He sent me an excited email yesterday with a link to a Youtube video. It was a recently taken clip of an elephant giving birth during a tourist game drive. […]
I don’t often suffer from diva-like behaviour. Not because I’m not capable of it, but more because I seem to deal with people who understand good hospitality, rendering the notion impossible. Let’s take Cosmopolitan magazine, for example – who on Thursday night hosted the 2009 Comopolitan Lingerie Fashion Show at Wembley Square. I […]
Guys, guys, guys, guys, GUYS! And GIRLS! You have bought your tickets for The Killers, playing in Cape Town on December 6, right? Because if you haven’t, I’d shake a leg if I were you – they’ll be sold out when Cape Town suddenly realises what is going on. Then you’ll look like a right […]
It’s that time of the month again.. as we remove the best of the rubbish you send me which gathers dust on my desktop, and release it onto the United Internet. We’ll kick off with this genius, sent in by Trev: Wrong way, my love. Then this absolute gem, spotted by Phillip, somewhere […]
After kidnapping her 18 years ago, Phillip Garrido kept Jaycee Dugard in his backyard and fathered two children with her. Garrido is a convicted sex offender and suddenly, out of the blue, walked into a California police station with the victim by his side. He told authorities that God had spoken to him. Obviously. This, […]
It’s the interview everyone has been waiting for. Springbok captain, John Smit and his merry band of legends have arrived safely in the Netherworld, as they begin their overseas leg of the Tri-Nations tournament. John Smit – killing it [gettyimages] “Blades,” who takes care of the 2oceansvibe Weekly Sports Roudup & TV Times, caught up […]
A Microsoft ad published in Poland is causing a bit of a nightmare for the company. You see, the same ad was being used in the US, except the one in the US featured a black gentleman in the middle. He was removed for the Polish version. Enjoy these very average Photoshop skills: Now […]
Twas earlier this year I showed you some wonderful images (here) of the hairdresser in the Woodstock region of Cape Town, claiming to be masters at the Obama Haircut. You may recall their tagline, “Looking neat is our target. Change your look? Yes we can!” You remember it now, right? If you don’t it seems […]
THAT just happened! It’s name is Carla Velli and it is an Italian actress. That pic was taken this last week in Miami. There are more pics – some of them ever so slightly NSFW. But that’s up to you whether you want to see them or not. I don’t know – maybe topless […]
Right, so you saw Crank and enjoyed it… well done. To say Crank had a lot of heart is an understatement. The public display of affection, the pulsating action, the heart-stopping moments and the heartbeat bass were incredible and Jason Statham wasn’t too bad either. The original had the action reflex of a kung-fu squirrel […]
There are conflicting weather reports out there, including the one right here on 2oceansvibe. Believe what you want – personally, I take whatever shows the highest temperatures. That’s just how I roll – extremeness at all times. I found this on my iPhone using a stunning piece of software called WeatherPro. 27 degrees on […]
One of the country’s most celebrated acoustic rock bands, PLUSH, have embarked on a brief nationwide tour, which ends at The Assembly in Cape Town on Saturday the 29th. And I’ve got tickets for you too! Saturday 22 August 2009 Pecanwood Howick KZN Doors 14:00 First bands at 16:00 R 75 presale through […]
AWESOME footage was sent to me of The TBG donating the 3,267th pair of jeans to the Levi’s “Get Rid of Your Jeans For Good ” Campaign! The TBG caught dropping off jeans at the Waterfront I think it’s fair to say that if The TBG (who spends most of his time healing […]
These things REALLY tweaked me when I first saw them. I used to have an extensive cassette music collection (far more than Jonty Fisher) and I couldn’t think of anything cooler to protect my iPod Nano. That’s obviously if I had an iPod Nano. But that’s not the point. The point is this: “What’s […]
I don’t need to write much about this one. It kind of sells itself. In a nutshell…..Michael poked Tracy. [thanks paul]
Now why would you NOT want to be at the Cosmo lingerie show? Have you picked up the latest copy of Cosmopolitan? God, it’s glorious! It features so many ex-2oceansvibe Weathergirls and 2oceansvibe friends, it’s actually a joke. From Tracy McGregor and Lyndall Jarvis to Tammy-Ann Fortuin, Rouxmia Bougas, Genevieve Morten (sizzzzling) and Lisa Cowley […]
Look, this has got absolutely nothing to do with District 9, other than the fact that it involves an alien. E.T. to be exact. It’s an old pic of me as a kid which I’ve been toying with for, like, an eternity. I didn’t know what to do with it, but I realised it had […]
Right, ok, did anyone check out the Cape Times front page this morning? If so, there may be more to it than you thought. Standard stuff? Just you wait.. As expected, it featured the ongoing gender-bender saga of South African female athlete, Caster Semenya. Bless her and all that, but did you read […]
Do you know about Mpho Gift Ngoepe ? Gift is a black Sotho tribesman from South Africa who literally grew up in a South African club baseball team’s clubhouse (his mother was/is their caretaker) and made his way to America. He has also just been featured in the US Sports Illustrated. This, my friends, is […]
I was interviewed by YOU Magazine over the last week and got chatting to the photographer, Martin de Kock. I was quite impressed with his CV of who he has shot before and asked if he did any other work. It seems our boy has a little exhibition going on! I thought I’d let you […]
The SuperEnaLotto has been scooped by just one person this weekend. Given the lucky punter a jackpot of £127 million to play with. In Rands, that’s about R1.6 billion. I’ll quickly add that in US Dollars, it comes to $200 million. The staggering jackpot was being reported since before the win, by SKY News and […]
I popped into Cafe Roux in Noordhoek the other day. I just love the place (even though they don’t yet stock De Grendel wine) because you never quite know what you’re going to get – be it the patronage and/or the surroundings. Last Sunday, for example, featured what could only be described as “Aladdin’s Grandmother” […]
In a move that is bound to shake the sports apparel world to the core, it seems that Cuban revolutionary leader, Fidel Castro has made the jump from Team Adidas, over to Team Puma. Recent footage displayed on the BBC’s website, show the first pics seen of Castro in the last 14 months. This, taken […]
Don’t forget about Brooklyn. Ever. Hope everyone’s Friday is going well. You ready for the weekend? Have you checked the traffic on the roads? Remember to check out www.capetowntrafficcam.co.za to see webcams showing the traffic all over Cape Town. Have a stunner!
I didn’t give this much of a chance when it was sent in to me. But then I did, and I was pleased. 2oceansvibe’s relationship with non-A-to-B-transportation related cycling and cyclists is a torrid and well-documented vibe, a lot of which can be seen in graphic detail in our much celebrated and aptly named “CYCLING” […]
Less than a week ago we featured a report about Usian Bolt breaking his own 100m record (here). Well, would you believe it, he’s gone and done it again! Except this time he’s broken the 200m World Record! Check it out: Berlin, Germany (20 August, 2009) – Three-time Jamaican Olympic gold medallist […]
So this is it, people!! The final episode!!! If you’re late on the uptake: Part 1 – CLICK HERE Part 2 – CLICK HERE Part 3 – CLICK HERE Part 4 – CLICK HERE Part 5 – CLICK HERE And then, this – the final episode – Part 6!! *If you’re getting just a BLACK […]
How anyone can watch soap operas is beyond me. They’re unrealistic and they drag on forever. Marlena on Days of our Lives, for example, spent her life dead, in a coma, kidnapped or possessed by the devil. That’s no way to live! And besides, who needs a soap opera when you have real-life, exciting drama […]
