I am often asked how my friend Billy Zane and I became acquainted – a meeting which resulted in an interview with the Titanic star on one of the 2oceansvibe shows. “Quite simple,” I usually tell them, “Marina took care of the Harley Davidson launch (here ) a few months back and Billy was there.” […]
Nice to see Woolworths aren’t scared to sex it up a little bit when the moment takes it. This video must have given the Woolworth’s ultra-conservatives a heart attack! Two things to be aware of – the track in the background is Fort Knox by Goldfish (my personal fave tune of theirs) and the main […]
It was too easy yesterday. I popped into Vida e on Kloof Road and then waltzed over to Mabu Vinyl, just opposite (in the road leading into the Vida entrance – Rheede Street) to pick up some records. I called the owner, Sugar, from the South of France on the day that Michael Jackson died. […]
Some folk seem a bit unhappy with Springbok coach, Peter de Villiers. So much so that moments like this are being highlighted.. Peter de Villers – ASOL I see what you did there. Good. [thanks ilan]
Wow, this is something to add to the voices in your head asking why exactly you live in London. A recent study has found that violent crime is higher in the UK per capita, than it is in South Africa. This, from the Daily Mail : The most violent country in Europe: Britain […]
Those of you who watched Sunday’s Wimbledon men’s final would have enjoyed the crowd viewing pleasure. Notables including Woody Allen, Russell Crowe, Sir Alex Ferguson, Pistol Pete Sampras and many others. Lest we forget runner-up Andy Roddick’s wife, Brooklyn Decker Roddick . Just a reminder of what he’s dealing with: Whatya thinkin’? That’s […]
I cruised into Woolies on Saturday with The Photographer (who just won a bronze lion at Cannes for this, I might add) and spotted something I had never seen before. “Suck me sideways!!” I yelled, “look at THIS!!” Woolworths have now erected a “complementary sanitising wipes” station next to the trolleys. It dispenses wet-wipes for […]
Hello Friends! I write to you from a Starbucks somewhere in Paris. Those of you following 2oceansvibe on Twitster will be well aware of why I am not in Ibiza! Oh, you’re not following 2oceansvibe on Twitster? Well you’re just missing out then.. That is the hotel I’m staying at in ParisWeird shape […]
I shouldn’t really be talking about this, as I write from a hammock, somewhere in the Cote d’Azur. But I think it shows my compassion and love for you, given that a lot of you are reading this from the rainy plains of Cape Town. Now I trust we are embracing the change of season? […]
Whille team Erricson claimed the top spot after more than 37,000 miles, 11 ports, 10 countries and five continents, Puma’s “il mostro” came in second place – not bad for a first attempt!! Salma Hayek must be stoked (here)! With horrendous conditions, primitive lifestyle and adventure unimaginable, it is nice to see the best looking […]
It wasn’t that long ago that the adorable Menu Savari starred alongside Kevin Spacey in the film American Beauty. Well maybe it was a long time – 10 years ago to be precise. And that,my friends, is the difference between 20 and 30. That’s a no go. Not ideal Apologies to those of […]
Those of you following me on the Twitmeister will be well aware that Air France lost my luggage between Marseille airport and Paris. I still don’t have it, but am enjoying the extravagance of wearing brand new jocks every day. Although it can very often backfire. I’m referring, of course, to the process one goes […]
I am writing this from a café somewhere in Paris as The Muse downs another glass of rosé and the waiters eyeball me, wondering when exactly we will be ordering dinner (I’m going for the fish). That said, this is going to be a quick one. But an important one, nonetheless. It’s to do with […]
I arrived in Paris today and thought I should share some fashion tips.. Throughly enjoyed this vibe from Alan Partridge. Good. To the point. Quality. [thanks phil]
It’s not often that we get a sighting OF another TBG sighting (Tall Blonde Guy). Especially when the person involved in the original sighting is so overcome by emotion that they don’t even get a photo of themselves! Marc P tells us about the magical moment, that night at Asoka. Dear Seth, I thought […]
Popped-in to the Romanesque Abbey of Sénanque just north of Gorde yesterday and took in the magic surrounding the working monastery, founded by the Cistercians in 1148. The Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque That’s how the monks roll The Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque is a beautiful religious site and the perfect place to see […]
The Kitesurfer (very good looking, single, good pedigree) is known for his DIY expertise and hands-on nature when it comes to virtually anything. From home-made beer and wine, to potato guns and the restoration of vintage cars… he’s done it all. Except this.. Please enjoy “the flying boat” – he sent me this video and […]
Cape Town suffers from late night drunk texts just as much (possibly a tad more) as the rest of the world. You know the ones. When you wake up in the morning and see a string of “WHERE ARE YOU???” texts and booty calls from various girls and boys, sent at 3am. Or, should I […]
Oh my God! Look at this! We do not have all the info at the mo, but what we do have are these pictures and the report below. Photo from Life Is Savage (Courtesy of Grant Hood) Photo courtesy of @heinkoen This, from News24: Cape Town – A container carrying potentially harmful […]
Some of you will recall the incredible story reported by the BBC and the Guardian (here) with regards to the teenager who drew a massive 60-foot penis on the roof of his parents mansion in West Berkshire. He wanted to see if it would be picked up by Google Earth. His parents found out about […]
I nearly wet myself yesterday at the St. Remy market (where Princess Caroline and Princess Charlotte have a home and past residents have included two very close friends of mine, Van Gogh and Nostradamus) as I walked around, deep in thought, mainly about you. You’ll recall previous sightings (here ) of crazy-ass dogs and ears […]
I don’t read a lot of books and when I do they usually have to be non-fiction and/or biographies. It takes a lot for me to pick one up on recommendation and, when I do get to that point, I usually don’t get past half way. I’m happy to say that this is not the […]
Jeepers, Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova threw out a very cool old school vibe during the first round of Wimbledon yesterday. Reminiscent of the styles of yesteryear and, dare I say, Harry Flashman, it seems the on court fashion stakes are pretty high this year. A quick game of tennis, wot?[source] General Sharapova[source] […]
Do you remember the other day I featured (here ) that picture painted on a wall in Cape Town of the “Simunyes?” You know, the African style ripoff of The Simpsons? Let’s get a quick recap of that. The eSimpowenis Well, either way, I got an email from Eric at Springleap who told […]
This article comes as a general warning to those of you with South African passports wishing to travel to the US or Europe via the United Kingdom. I URGE you to use another hub of sorts, as the new requirements for a simple transit visa are EXACTLY the same as if you were applying for […]
Well I’m glad this has gone full circle. Although maybe not entirely. A few days ago we published (here) a pic of cute little fat kid trying terribly hard to give a rose to Megan Fox. You’ll remember the pain and anguish all over his face. Full story here So with the way things are […]
Wow, it’s all happening! For those of you who have just tuned in, ex security guard and Springbok rugby captain, Joost van der Westhuizen, was recently involved with a stripper in a hidden sex tape cocaine scandal. Or, should I say, “skandaal!” You can check out our past coverage on that here, but today we’re […]
This was taken in the last week when the Green Point McDonald’s was closed, EXCEPT for their drive thru service. Please enjoy this guy standing in between two cars, waiting for his order.. Man pretends to be car Whaaaahaha! Is it just me? Or do you also find that terribly amusing? Shame – […]
There have been all sorts of claims and suggestions as to the Top Gear TV show mystery precision driver, The Stig’s identity over the years. While it is understood that they have changed from time to time (previous article here), yesterday’s Top Gear show (jokingly) revealed someone who you probably didn’t expect. One of the […]
Right, ok, welcome to your new week! What a stunning weekend that was! Congrats to the Springboks on winning the test against the British Lions and, in particular, to 2oceansvibe Character The Barndog for scoring the first try. Why did you do that? Very naughty.. Wel done also to Stephen Ballot for guessing the closest […]
