Zinedine Zidane was spotted at V&A Waterfront’s The Greek Fisherman on Friday. This, from Tony L: Zinedine “Zizou” Zinade Spotted at The Greek Fisherman ‘Sup Seth, Had a mean lunch at the Greek Fisherman at the waterfront today. Zidane decided to make an appearance with his whole family. Oh please note the Mythos beer […]
This, just in from ex-pat, reader and friend of 2oceansvibe, Johan VZ: Dear Seth, I’m sure you’ll get a few of these today but here are a couple of pics of voters queuing up outside South Africa House in London this morning for the first ever overseas vote in the SA elections. A historic […]
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 […]
This article is by no means an endorsement of any party, nor is it an indication of who I will be voting for. It is just a brief word about how impressed I am with Trevor Manuel, and that the opposition parties and leaders might want to take a leaf out of his book. You […]
So some friends from L.A. rolled into town for a week and managed to pack in quite a bit. They stayed at the new One & Only hotel (review pending – the jury is still out) at the V&A Waterfront and headed out each day, ticking off the various adventures to be had. It was […]
Whoah, there hasn’t been an auction on the Camps Bay strip since the place next door to Caprice, now occupied by The Grand Cafe, went for around R40 million sometime last year. And now, the highly sought after building on the other side of The Grand Cafe is going under the hammer. I spotted them […]
This is good. These guys have put together a spoof of the Twitter craze sweeping the world. This time it’s called Flutter and instead of a maximum of 140 characters per message, it’s a max of 26 characters. It’s really well done and nearly a carbon copy of a genuine doccie I watched on the […]
This fellow can be found at Vida e in Camps Bay. I enjoy him. Soso Unlike his coffe (which is amazing), his name is “Soso .” No, I am not spicing you. I just hope that when people ask him what his name is, he holds out his hand flat and, before they […]
I very nearly bought a couple of golden circle tickets for this year’s Coke Zero Fest in Cape Town after my G-Man reminded me it was taking place on Monday. You see, as I was about to book tickets for The Muse and me, I found out that it wasn’t in it’s usual place (Kenilworth […]
Phil Spector is one of the most famous and eccentric music producers of all time having worked with the likes of The Beatles, Tina Turner, The Righteous Brothers and The Ramones. He was the originator of the “Wall of Sound” production technique, and was responsible for over 25 Top 40 hits between 1960 and 1965, […]
The last TBG sighting was back in January, which is quite understandable; given the amount of joy and bliss that the great man spreads around the world on a daily basis. He can’t be in Cape Town ALL the time. His attention to detail and time he makes for “the little people” is nothing short […]
The other day I asked all my Tweeps on Twitter to Twat me their favourite songs to play at gym, as I was making a new mix. They sent some beauties, some of which I used. Then I used an incredibly powerful section of my brain to think of some more. And then it hit […]
Have a wonderful long weekend! I’ll be dreaming of you.. p> Quality Kisses xxx [thanks dave]
As promised on the night of the SA Blog Awards 2009, I would like to give all the SA Blog Awards nominees the opportunity to order some droolicious Butlers Pizza on my personal account. I didn’t quite get the go ahead from Cape Town’s #1 pizza before I told you about the gift, […]
I saw an old BMW 850 on the road the other day and I still got a bit of tingle – thinking back to how it felt when I first saw one as a kid. God they were cool. they’re still cool. The mind blowing thing about it, was that the shape of the car […]
In an unprecedented move and in response to my recent laments (here and here) about the very dire Cape Town Daim chocolate shortage, I have received a pack of Daim chocolates in the mail from a 2oceansvibe reader! Hmm – what’s this? Whooah!! HEY, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! I would like to take this […]
I can’t really comment as I have a NUMBER of pink garments, including socks and underwear. Everyone knows only real men can wear pink, although it is certainly not the norm. But now it looks like the recession has caused some kind of lipstick related trend showing a rise in sales of pink men’s underwear, […]
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 […]
The Personal Jukebox sent in this little pearler from Venice Beach, LA. Help this fellow stay drunk.. Very cool, thanks for that, Sox. Send love to Cokey. Reminds me of those Lazy Beggers..
Just yesterday I was taking a bubble bath at The Safe House and sent out a twat about the provocative Armani ad campaign (here ), depicting a woman removing a man’s clothing – revealing quite a lot, I thought. But then I found this this little piece of madness. “Standing on your head” usually conjures […]
With six critically acclaimed albums in the bag, South African pride and joy, Just Jinjer, I’m pleased to announce that they have been slogging it and finally released their long awaited new single, Can I Have More TODAY! Just JinjerBrent Harris, Sandy Chila, Ard Matthews and Denholm Harding Following a string of global […]
“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 […]
Vanity Fair readers will be aware of the name Graydon Carter. Carter is the editor (since 1992) of the greatest magazine in the world and apart from guiding the tremendous success of the magazine for a decade and a half, he is known for his stunning intros to every issue. He moaned in dramatic style […]
You’ll recall some time back I featured the T-Mobile “flash mob” (here)which gathered at Liverpool Station in London, England. Well, it looks like some folk in Belgium felt they should up the ante, which they did with great success – this time at Antwerp Central train station . I got this off Chris Rawlinson’s blog […]
A reader sent me these pics and I thought it was just a screen shot from some sick fantasy dream they were having. But no, this is a genuine concept car. Cover one eye before you look at these shots – it might be too much to handle: Taste it Feel it Hold it […]
Everyone remain calm. In a few hours time a spaceship will be arriving to pick us up to take us to another dimension. You will all be given matching clothing and shoes, as well as a special cocktail which must be consumed before embarking on this adventure to the new world. Paris Hilton will be […]
In a very Helena Christensen type move, 2oceansvibe Character “The Surfer” has jumped from one side of the camera to the other – finding himself excelling at surf photography. From cut-backs to the cutting room, Anthony Fox has been capturing some thrilling surf footage, which has recently been published in Zig Zag Magazine. Zig […]
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 […]
Well I’m still sort of recovering after Friday night’s South African Blog Awards, held at Chevelle club in Cape Town. Well done to the organisers and sponsors (here) on the night and well done to all the nominees and bloggers that made it the success it was. I was also very pleased with […]
My mate, Joe bones, over at RiverCityVibe in Jacksonville (Florida, US), spotted these babies. Joe writes: When my regular thing said she had bought a new pair of flip flops I paid no heed. Then she rocked up in these, and I have to say, I was impressed: They are by Giusepe Zanotti […]
