Next time you’re on the beach (and frankly, given the current weather in Cape Town, that may be later today), bear in mind that there’s more to the scenery than meets the eye. Sand is ba-yoodiful, too – beyond what our human eyes can perceive. Have a look at these shots of tiny grains of sand magnified to 250 times their real size.
Regular readers will remember the flurry caused by Clifton Shores when production first got underway. Readers were mostly happy to have South Africa, and Cape Town, chosen as the venue for an international reality show, but many were not shy to voice their concerns over what the final product might look like. Click through for the first taste.
Look, we dig the odd spot of gaming here at 2oceansvibe. If you swing by the 2oceansvibe Media Headquarters in Waterkant Street and head upstairs, just past Richard Hardiman’s desk but in front of the boardroom, you may or may not find a little lounge set up there, tastefully furnished, with the odd plasma screen, […]
It was one of those killer sunsets tonight. You know, the kind that makes you go, “oh my effing word check that sunset where is my camera!” That’s exactly what I did tonight at The Safe House and I sent it out as a tweet. So for those of who who don’t follow me on […]
Businessman and “club supersta” Kenny Kunene’s license disk is two years old. Kunene’s Lamborghini was spotted by 2oceansviber, Abi, at Mzoli’s this last Sunday, 20 February 2011. Kunene’s car was reportedly parked in the middle of the road.
Now I should clarify here, Norwegian kitesurfers in blouwberg are siesa. And by “siesa” I of course mean “an intoxicating mix of insanity, skill, and bravery”. Yesterday, Nick Jacobsen climbed up a crane on the deck of the now-permanently wrecked Seli I, with his kite and his board, and jumped off. Nuts.
If you haven’t heard of the Good Work Gig then you’re in for a treat. The GWG will be hosted by the Grand Cafe on Camps Bay beach, and is in aid of The Good Work Foundation. Keeping in spirit with its name, the Good Work Foundation is a charity dedicated to helping the young […]
Local video producer, Jaco Wolmarans was lucky enough to engage in a spot of aerial photography and videography recently. He was acting, quite literally, as the wing man (keeping an eye on the horizon for oncoming air traffic) for a colleague of his who was shooting the planes. In between playing lookout he shot this clip.
Regular 2oceansvibers will be aware of the term ‘Lake-Lake,’ which is a game the Radlantic Ocean plays from time to time. What it does is it pretends to be a lake – ie. dead still. The photo above was taken this morning from The Safe House (using our iPhone 4 from Digicape and photos stitched […]
Well, ladies and gentlemen. That’s what we call a “success”. Weather-wise, Cape Town served up a typically stunning Friday evening. The sky was azure, the rays were mild, and oh hey, look at that – a rooftop covered in beautiful people, ice cold beverages, and international music superstars. Click through for the pictures.
If you were sitting on the fence with that condo purchase on Greenpoint, now really is the time to put an offer on the table. A number of consortiums, most notably the functionally-named Cape Town Grand Prix Bid Company are making bids to bring the F1 Grand Prix to Cape Town.
At 12:00PM on Saturday, the 8th of January 2011, three monstrously tough unicyclists and their support car will arrive in at Mouille Point lighthouse after completing a 44-day off-road tour, from Durban to Cape Town, on UNICYCLES.
The Silly Season is no better on display than in the hub of silliness, Camps Bay. Our brothers and sisters from the north have arrived, with their vests and muscles and costume jewelry. It’s quite beautiful to watch, my china! I took a little video clip of the action and you just won’t believe what I caught on tape, cycling past.
I kid you not, I arrive at my usual spot on Camps Bay beach on Sunday morning and guess who happens to be lying there, yip the girls from Clifton 4th. But it gets better people, after the jump you will see why.
This weekend saw some rather unfavourable weather conditions. The South Easter unleashed her fury over Camps Bay yesterday, and so Clifton 4th it was. Still, it wasn’t ideal, as the gusts hit every umbrella on the beach, sending the ice-cream men running. But nothing could disturb these beauties…Check the earphones.
A shitstorm is brewing, quite literally, on the Atlantic Seaboard as Bakoven residents find themselves up in arms about a recent sewerage leak. It’s so bad now that even the NSRI refuse to train! Warning: following this link will take you to a report which includes an uncensored version of this article’s main photo. Sis!
You know, I gave a talk recently and in the powerpoint presentation was a screenshot of an article from 2007. The article happened to be 2oceansvibe’s annual declaration of the opening of summer. I noted the date – 17 September, 2007. My goodness but it came early that year! Not so three years later as […]
RetailEstateWeb just released the results of its annual property value survey, with some fairly interesting results. For a start, it’s obvious that The Fairest Remains just that, with seven out of the nations ten most valuable suburbs. Not shabby, hey? Perhaps I’m new to the property game, but my question is: Is a pad in […]
Cape Town vibers, a little blue bird told me that South African muso Farryl Purkiss will be playing an exclusive, intimate gig at a chilled, private venue on the Atlantic Seaboard this evening. The first five vibers to email me (correct email after jump) get their name on the list, as well as the details […]
A new study suggests that people prefer to travel South. Real-world experiences underlie avoidance of northern routes, Brunyé proposes. Young children learn that as objects and locations get higher, they become harder to attain. Examples include reaching for a toy on the counter, climbing the stairs and jumping. An ingrained notion that “up is difficult” […]
Green Point is ramping up the killer World Cup vibes. Most of us frenzied Capetonian vibers will already know this, but those of you from outta-town will most definitely appreciate this vibe. You know the London Eye? Well…
Kelly Brook was in Cape town recently for a FHM World Cup shoot. Dressed in nothing but a bikini, these still shots and video give us an idea of what to expect when she does her upcoming Playboy spread, which will earn her $500,000. Not a bad pay day.. Kelly Brook enjoys lions Check it […]
A 2oceansviber sent me a PDF of what must be the most comprehensive pack of old Cape Town photos ever. We’ve all seen those shots from the 50’s and 60’s, but it’s not often you see shots from 1900! Check out Clifton: Clifton, Cape Town – circa 1900 Pretty sick, hey? There are literally HUNDREDS […]
One of the last few days of our month in the South of France, brought us to the most gorgeous little seaside town on the Med – Cassis. Pic taken from PopYaCollar – (featured in Marie Claire) Wikipedia tells us: Cassis (French pronunciation: [kasi, kasis]; Occitan: Cassís) is a commune situated east of Marseille in […]
I found this photo lying around and realised that it was taken for you. I wanted to show you a great example of how one should dress up when going to the shops on a Saturday or Sunday morning in Cape Town. I call it, “LA Style,” because it’s pretty much how everyone dresses in […]
I was really stoked when I found this pack of magic in the Big Blue shop in Kalk Bay this weekend. As some of you will be aware, drinking alcohol on Camps Bay beach and all other public beaches in Cape Town is prohibited. And whilst some of you have taken to making pre-mixed drinks […]
Very strange behaviour, if you did. I’ll tell you why. You see this morning I tried something new – I went for a 5km run. Which is weird, given that I’m known as a 4km specialist. It’s true, people often refer to me as “The Four Kay Specialist.” It’s either that, or they call me […]
Last night’s sunset from The Safe House March Heatwave Is Upon Us – If you thought yesterday and the day before were too hot, best you get used to it! You’re looking at 30 degree weather and very low wind all the way through to next week, my love. And if you work in town […]

Her current title is Vice-President of the Versace Group and Chief Designer of the fashion line. As you may notice from these pictures, she also believes in factor nought […]
The Blackberry Brigade can keep on scratching their heads and punishing themselves in general, as I present another wonderful app I have found to use with my iPhone. This one is called “AutoStitch Panorama” and stitches together ANY series of pics that you take (up, down, and all around). And it is COMPLETELY automated. You […]
