2oceans Vibe

Helen Zille, Premier of the Western Cape and undercover online enthusiast, will be co-hosting 2oceansVibe Radio‘s Morning Meeting with Lindsay Williams and Richard Hardiman at 09h00 this coming Thursday morning.

Helen is, of course, no stranger to the 2oceansVibe Media franchise. You’ll remember her magnificent performance as a 2oceansVibe Weather Girl in November 2009.

This time round, Helen will be making an appearance solely in her capacity as an honorary 2oceansVibe Radio DJ.

We look forward to your selection of tracks, and your insightful comments, Helen.

We’re so proud of the 2oceansvibe Weathergirls and the way they’re quietly destroying the globe with their beauty. Take for example our very first Weathergirl, Genevieve Morton, who finds herself in the pages of the US Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue! I was paging through the latest issue on my iPad (thanks Digicape) and got such a surprise, I thought I just had to share it with you! Well done, Gen! Great work, angel pie!

The winter is getting pretty chilly, I’m not gonna lie.

But when Christina’s presenting the weather on SABC3, I get two minutes of summer.

Hi there, Christina…

It’s always a pleasure to see 2oceansvibe Weather Girls killing-it on the instanet. Take Lyndall Jarvis, for example, who joined Julz for the debut “On The Couch” episode for Car Magazine’s website.

“CARtv’s Juliet McGuire chats to her friend Lyndall Jarvis, who was voted FHM’s Sexiest Woman in the World, about her motoring adventures, what a man’s car says about him, and much more…”

Sick.

I love the way they’re acting all professional and polite, when in actual fact these are the two biggest party animals in Cape Town. You should SEE them together when the camera’s aren’t rolling. They’re on the BAR COUNTER, not the BACKSEAT!

I’m telling you right now, they should make another show filmed on Friday nights called On The Bar Counter and they can replace those cute CARMAG waters, with CAR branded tequila bottles.

After that they can make another show called ON THE FLOOR.

I’m getting carried away.

Good job, girls!

If you’re one of the people that made up 20,000 views of our last Weather Girls show with Landi Swanepoel, you’ll appreciate this. If you didn’t watch that video, you’re making a grave mistake – because you will more than likely fall off your chair – for a variety of reasons.

Not least of which being the glory that is Peroni/Guess girl, Landi Swanepoel! And it is with great pride and honour that I give you this sneak preview Landi – on the cover of the Jeans Magazine in the latest Cosmo.

That chick’s a fucking pro! All the more reason to buy the latest Cosmopolitan magazine girls *cough* and boys!

You’ll recognise it fairly quickly – it’s got that lunatic, Lady Gaga on the cover..

Rah rah….. rah-rah-rah, Gagah… rah-rah-rah!

Christ..

So some of you are probably aware of the vibe that Minki van der Westhuizen has been throwing around town – that she wants to be a 2oceansvibe Weather Girl. It started a few months back if I remember correctly. I was getting messages passed on by friends and friends of friends.

“Is it possible?”

“Would you want her on the show?”

” She would LOVE to be on!”

“Do you see her as a 2oceansvibe Weather Girl?”

And so it went on. I had never thought about it, to be quite frank – until my Twitter box started becoming littered with these “hints,” direct from Minki.

Wow, quite a vibe, I thought to myself.

I wasn’t exactly sure how to handle it, as being pressurised into doing things of that nature doesn’t work really well with me.

A number of 2oceansvibers tweeted Minki and told her to email me.

I can’t recall if she emailed or not – but that doesn’t matter – because Friday night saw a whole new level of attack from our girl.

“OH MY GOD, SETH!!!!!” came the screech from across the room at Cafe Peroni.

“How ARE you!!!” she squealed, very familiar and all that. You could have sworn we had bathed together as kids.

“HOW ABOUT A PHOTO!!?” she asked. Not that I had much option, as she had pre-arranged the photo crew to trail behind her until she had found me.

Sure thing, Minx..

Minx and Seth

So there you have it.

Only thing left to do now is put it to the floor.

What do you lot out there think? Leave a comment and let us know..

Should we make Minki van der Westhuizen a 2oceansvibe Weather Girl?

[More pics from the event can be seen here.. ]

It’s not altogether surprising that former 2oceansvibe Weather Girls model, Genevieve Morton, has been spotted in the newly released US Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. She did absolutely kill it in that episode (here and here) we did in Camps Bay.

The 2oceansvibe Weather Girls is the same show which recently featured Peroni model, Landi Swanepoel.

And Tracy McGregor before her. And the Cowley Sisters. And Elbe van der Merwe. And Helen Zille.

The list goes on.

Let’s check out Gen:

Wow! I think the phrase is, “girl done good!”

Oh hang on… What’s this…

Oh my God, it’s Dominique Piek!

Well done, angels!

Such gorgeous little babies.

Mwah, mwah, mwah xxx

If only she was just “The Peroni Girl,” then it would be less confusing. Unfortunately Landi Swanepoel is also “The Guess Girl,” so please pay attention if you don’t want to get left behind.

This week brings us the first 2oceansvibe Weather Girls Show of 2010, and boy do we have a cracker for you! This is easily one of the best shows we’ve had, as we take things to the next level with Landi Swanepoel, even finding time to feature a cameo by her boyfriend, Just Jinjer frontman, Ard Matthews.

How awesome is our vibe in that photo? Landi’s like “Hey-hey!” and I’m like “whatever!” Because that’s how we were rolling that day. We were “killing it,” although in a slightly different way…. with napalm.

Seriously.

So here it is people, the first 2oceansvibe Weather Girls episode of 2010! You’re gonna LOVE this!

Wait for the box to load up right here. Then click the “play” button when it appears.

*slow internet surfers are advised to pause video at the start and let it load up before playing.

How was that for you?

Thanks to 2oceansvibe Villas for the awesome villa we used that day. That particular villa (and loads more) is available for rental or for shoots from 2oceansvibe Villas. Check out the website (here) and click “contact” to get in touch on phone or email.

Thanks to ReyJeane Salon and Spa for getting Landi’s hair and makeup identical to the original Peroni ad. I seriously don’t know how you did that! Check out ReyJeane’s website here. They’re in De Waterkant so go and sort yourself out.

And lastly, thanks to this week’s title sponsor, Puma Lifestyle..

Because that’s how we roll..

CLICK HERE for still shots of Landi taken at the shoot by Verster-Cohen Photography.

Until next time.. x

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 and white Peroni ads, which are still aired across the globe. Not that she was ever shy of years of catwalk work with the likes of Chanel and Jean Paul Gaultier.

We are proud to announce that TOMORROW’S 2oceansvibe Weather Girl is Landi Swanepoel. We shot it earlier this week and I assure you it’s going to be one of the best 2oceansvibe Shows you have ever seen!

I strongly suggest that you watch this video of the famous Peroni “La Dolce Vita” ad, before you tune in tomorrow.

Press play:

That is how the ad runs on TV around the world (black and white), but you can see the colour version, if you want, here.

Are you ok with that? Ja, I thought you would be. Do you know that some of that was filmed in Sea Point? Ja, bru…fully!

And the main angel in the ad – that’s Landi. And she’s your Weather Girl this week. Are you ok with that? Ja, I thought you might be.

Here’s a pic of Landi taken at the 2oceansvibe shoot earlier this week.

Shame.

Hating that.

Tune in tomorrow and we’ll give you something that will blow your socks off.

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 his powers. Never before have they been so well documented as in this ad, where we see him using his mind and his mouse to remove idiots.

Too mean!!

And what do you know, Goldfish (2oceansvibe Characters The Blonde and Baby Jesus) took care of the soundtrack in that ad as well!

Jeez, sorry… don’t want “the vibe” to take over or anything..

[thanks dale]

I know what you’re thinking. How can it get to this level? It’s quite silly, really – it’s like we’re playing this game on “easy” mode..

Behold, the ULTIMATE Christmas gift..

Due to the overwhelming amount of awesome videos on 2oceansvibe, you can’t be expected to watch it all – and let’s face it, not everyone has super fast internet. So here it is, people. You asked for it, and now you’ve got it. It’s the 2009 2oceansvibe DVD.

Not surprisingly, it’s entitled “Touch Yourself” and contains SO MUCH stuff I honestly don’t know where to begin. What’s more, they’re all presented in their original resolution, so you’re getting improved picture quality too!

Just to get you started, it’s basically got the ENTIRE 2oceansvibe Weathergirls Show collection (shame – poor you), with models including The Cowley Sisters, Tracy McGregor, Lyndall Jarvis, Genevieve Morton and tons more beautiful angels. And that’s not excluding the ones with Helen Zille and Goldfish and the other one with Bob Skinstad stripping down to his jocks! Some classic moments, I must admit!

But that’s not all..

Howz that DVD box? Pretty cool, hey? Can you imagine owning that and holding it close to your body? No need – just pop it in the DVD player and, when you watch it, it will feel like I am right there, holding you. Naked.

It’s also got the ENTIRE Pauly Shore series with Dirty Skirts soundtrack that we shot in Hollywood early on in the year – which includes Pauly Shore dry humping Zinzi on a physio’s table. Let alone live footage of Pauly making hotel booty calls and following through with the angels actually arriving at the door within minutes! Those who have watched the whole thing will confirm that it is truly hilarious! And I didn’t even mention the hidden-camera footage of Pauly in the drug store..

OBVIOUSLY it’s got the IDOLS Randall Abraham “Rocky” video which won the award for Best Blog Post at the 2009 SA Blog Awards. That same video has been watched online over 150,000 times so far. I simply couldn’t leave it out!

It’s got the little debate I had with Springbok Captain, John Smit, as well as the 2oceansvibe Top Billing feature which included Goldfish, as well as Ard Matthews from Just Jinjer on the show.

So it’s a bit of a joke when it comes to the volume of stuff you’re getting on the DVD. There’s even a Bonus footage section which includes the now famous Cape Town Short Cuts video, as well as behind the scenes never-seen-before footage of The TBG, Seth, The Dude, G-Man and the rest of the gang. I would tell you more, but don’t want to spoil it..

I had someone the other day tell me that they would pay R250 just for copies of all the weather girls. Well, Thomas, there will be no need! Because you can get EVERYTHING I have just mentioned AND MORE for just R100. That’s what a lot of people give car guards these days.

No surprises there – we’ve gone and made it too easy for you again.

It’s basically just all a big joke.

I cannot imagine a better Christmas present. It costs you nearly nothing and, at the same time, it might just save someone’s life. If you’re smart you’ll buy one for every person you’ve ever met in your life.

Do yourselves a favour and CLICK HERE (or the disc above) to go straight to the Diletto website, which is where you will be able to buy it right now, online baby!

And can you believe that the price includes a signed picture of Seth in the Karate-Kid “Crane” pose? Taken during the “Randall Abrahams ‘Rocky’ Video.”

Well it does.

All inclusive..

*The DVD will also be available to hire from all branches of DVD Nouveau.

*5% of all proceeds go to the MyLife Foundation

Welcome to this week’s 2oceansvibe Show, brought to you by NoMU – eat. drink. live.

And WHAT an occasion it is! Who would have thought that Helen Zille would accept the offer of being a 2oceansvibe Weather Girl? My goodness, what a surprise! Although, in all fairness, the allure of joining an exclusive club which counts the likes of Elbe van der Merwe, Lisa/Michelle Cowley, Tracy McGregor and Genevieve Morton in it’s ranks, is quite understandable!

So there we were, in my suite at The Cape Royale Hotel. But it wasn’t JUST me and Helen, I also managed to rope in the girl’s favourite weatherman – Derek Van Dam from E-TV news!

So here it is guys! And remember, this 2oceansvibe Show will also be included in this year’s 2oceansvibe DVD which will be out in a couple weeks..

Ok, are you ready to watch the show?

Wait for the box and the video to load under this line____________________

*slow internet surfers are advised to pause video at the start and let it load up before playing.

Thanks to NoMU foods, Helen Zille and Derek Van Dam for the good times!

Don’t forget, 2oceansvibe and the making of this show will be on TV in a special “behind-the-scenes” feature on TOP BILLING, next week Thursday, SABC 3 at 19h30. Pretty gnarly!

So as not to keep you waiting any longer, I’m just going to give it to you. Right here, right now. Just you WAIT util you see my “dream sequence!”

Enjoy.

*wait for box to load upload below

*slower connections might want to press play THEN pause and wait for video to load

And remember the video recording of the Goldfish concert on the roof of the Cape Royale hotel (Sky Bar – next to the pool – 28 degrees – bikini’s everywhere – ridiculous) will be next week.

For those of you new to this whole vibe. This is a SHOW – it’s longer than 3 minutes. Regulars MAKE time for it. If Letterman was only available online, would you not MAKE TIME to watch it? Have you tried full-screen? This is an EVENT, my friends!

Come on, it’s 2009 – get with the programme.

* a big thank you to Sunay, Kelly, Jermaine and Wimpie from Top Billing for being so cool.

A big thanks to this week’s sponsors, Levi Strauss, for allowing us to gaze at FHM’s hottest chick of the year, Lyndall Jarvis, in a bikini. As well as an excuse to get Bob Skinstad to strip in front of the camera!

That’s right!! And it’s all right here! The latest 2oceansvibe Show and Weather report.

Wait here for video to load below.

*slow connections should pause video and let it load up fully before playing

Well, just like the previous 2oceansvibe Weather Girls, this week’s show is killer! We are joined by the delicious Gabriella Demetriades who was one of the IPL beauties and also came second in this year’s FHM hottest angels in the world vibe.

And what’s more, she’s LOADS of fun!

Gabriella Demetriades
Killing it..

Gabs delivered the weather beautifully at Boo Radley’s restaurant in Cape Town (62 Hout Street – go there if you haven’t already) and it looks like we’ve got a cold front of sorts coming through this weekend!

Enjoy!

Remember local shmocals to PAUSE for a bit to let it load up a tad, then PLAY!

Nothing wrong with that!

Catch you next week from The South of France..

Well thank God you won’t need to deal with iStore or The Core Group to get your hands on this 3G iPhone – because we’ve got it for you already!

We launched the competition at the end of last week with the instructions given to you during the 2oceansvibe Weather Girls show with Tracy McGregor.

We will be announcing the winner before 5pm tomorrow (Wednesday 20 May 2009).

Seth rolls with the iPhone 3G
You WANT this phone

All you need to do to enter to competition is forward me your transaction number after playing the EuroMillions lottery via sms. That means that you will have a chance to win a fortune and, if that fails, you might even win an iPhone!

It’s very simple to do and you can find the instructions at the top of the screen after clicking HERE.

What’s more, PlayEuroMillions will double your first deposit into your account, which you then use to play the lottery via sms or online. (Whilst the iPhone comp is open to all people playing via sms, the money doubling vibe is only for new registrations and only if they deposit within a week.)

Remember, to enter THIS particular iPhone competition, you MUST play via sms.

GO! GO! GO!

COMPETITION CLOSES AT 15:40 ON WEDNESDAY
WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED AT 16:00

It doesn’t get more action packed than Tracy McGregor doing the 2oceansvibe Cape Town weather report with a free iPhone 3G giveaway! I mean, really!

Check out the video to see what Cape Town’s weather has in store for you, as well as instructions on how to win that iPhone 3G! So here it is – looks like we’re in for a messy weekend!

Just to recap, you have to buy a lottery ticket via sms and send your transaction number to editor@2oceansvibe.com to stand in line to win that iPhone. But you must watch that weather report for proper instructions.

Some people will find this process tricky so I’d advise you to do it – you’ll have a pretty good chance of winning – believe me! It’s probably easier to win this iPhone than buying one at the Waterfront iStore .

She’s 19, she’s from Cape Town, she looks like Tyra Banks, she is one one of the faces of Mr Price and she is bringing you this week’s Cape Town weather report!

Ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to Donna !

Donna from M1 Management
Absolutely nothing wrong with that

We saddled up in Camps Bay on a particularly misty day. In fact I urge you to watch closely as you can actually SEE the mist moving past us. Quite hysterical! Honestly, I think we were INSIDE a cloud!

Seth and Donna
Shooting the breeze in a cloud

To see Donna doing the weather (probably in a bikini) then you’re going to have to watch the video. That is also the only way to get the actual weather report for Cape Town for this weekend. And I tell you what – you’ll be very pleased with the results! Winter might not be here 100% just yet!

And remember, for the slow coaches – the best is to pause the video just as it starts and then let is load up a bit before you press play. (This old school technique will apparently end in July when REAL broadband hits South Africa)

Here it is:

WHAT an adorable little angel! And that smile? My God!

Tune in next week for the following Weather Girls installment! And if you’ve missed some of the past 2oceansvibe Weather Girls you can check them all out here. And then don’t forget to check out ALL 2oceansvibe videos at 2oceansvibe TV (www.2oceansvibe.tv)
