BUNNY TALES: BEHIND CLOSED DOORS AT THE PLAYBOY MANSION
01 Sep 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
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 […]
OBAMA HAIRCUT ADVERT
27 Aug 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 9 Comments
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 […]
45 NANO CASES – THAT’S HOT!
26 Aug 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
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 […]

PUSSY NATURAL ENERGY DRINK – FROM CAPE TOWN TO L.A.
11 Aug 2009 by Jasmine Stone / 14 Comments
I’ve been toying with this Pussy Natural Energy Drink for a while. You’ll remember the first mention of the energy drink was in one of the 2oceansvibe Weather Girls shows with the smoking hot Genevieve Morton (here and here). You see, the guys at Pussy (www.pussydrinks.com) were trying to get me to drink it for […]
MARINA AND “THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK” – PREMIUM EVENTS AND PR MAGIC
07 Jul 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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.” […]
HALF PRICE SALE AT MABU VINYL
07 Jul 2009 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
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. […]
THE WOLF OF WALL STREET – BY JORDAN BELFORT
24 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
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 […]
R50 OFF T-SHIRTS FOR 2OCEANSVIBE READERS
23 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 4 Comments
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 […]
THE COMFORT WIPE COMMERCIAL
17 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 7 Comments
Ok. Unlike the unresearched photos that The Insurance Broker was sending around (here) of some photos taken onboard as the Air France flight was going down, this commercial is not a hoax. It is an ad for the Comfort Wipe which makes a certain bathroom activity that little bit easier. They claim that it is […]
BLUE ROUTE MALL TAKING FATHER’S DAY TO ANOTHER LEVEL
17 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
Again the power of the 2oceansvibe community is on display as we receive no less than THREE separate emails with photographs of the same sign displayed on a shop window in Cape Town’s Blue Routemall. Behold: Spotted on window of a men’s manicure parlour. Blue Route Mall, Cape Town. Look, it’s a bloody nice […]
CONSUMER REVENGE
16 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 14 Comments
This one jumped out at me. Firstly because I appreciate the extent to which the fella freaked out and, secondly, because I used to own the exact same car and can categorically state that I have never (and will never again) deal with worse service from ANY brand than I did with Land Rover Cape […]
FRENCH VISA ARRIVES – “MY LIFE ORGANISED” PERSONAL ASSISTANT SERVICE STRIKES AGAIN
01 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I received an sms from Caro at My Life Organised a week ago saying, “your appointment at the French Embassy was this morning – I’ll call them later and let you know how it went.” What? Who? Shit, did I miss an appointment to get my Shengen visa for my upcoming overseas trip?We had met […]
COSMO’S VANESSA RAPHAELY WANTS A PIECE
30 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 4 Comments
Gee whiskers! I don’t know if I should tell everyone that I cracked a mention in this month’s Cosmopolitan Magazine’s Editor’s Letter, or if I should keep it quiet so no one finds out I bought the mag before I heard about it! Not that you can blame me for buying it. Try this cover […]
CORE GROUP INSIDERS COME FORWARD
19 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 47 Comments
Oh dear, it really is a sad state of affairs. We have been reporting the iStore/Core Group saga to you since last week. It began with my personal account of a dismal experience in the Waterfront iStore (here), which ended up with me going next door to Incredible Connection. I then followed up […]
SEND FREE ROOIBOS TEA TO A FRIEND – NO SPICE!
18 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Please don’t say I don’t think of you! I was pretty impressed with this and thought it might appeal to the homesick ex-pats over there in London. Especially seeing as it features one of those unique South African flavours – Rooibos tea. So not only will you be scoring freebies, you’ll be doing a good […]
APPLE CORE’S DEAFENING SILENCE CONTINUES
16 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 19 Comments
With the comments section of our original Waterfront Apple Mac iStore article closing in on the 100 mark, Core’s non-response seems very much in line with those same comments. And I doubt they aren’t aware of it. When the comments section includes responses from current and ex-employees, as well as the owner of the Claremont […]
FOOSBALL DESIGN DREAMS
11 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
I spotted a pretty cool competition going on at Foozi.co.za (local foosball manufaturing company) targeted at local ad agencies and designers. It’s a pretty rad idea, with the best foosball table design winning their very own branded foosball table! Quite nice. I had a little poke around and there are some pretty sick designs. […]
ROLLING WITH THE PUMA LIFESTYLE VIBE
11 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 6 Comments
This is how I’m rolling at the moment. I have just returned from a weekend away in Kommetjie where The Muse and I looked after The Surfer‘s pad. I offloaded the car into The Safe House and took in the sight of my new Puma bag, shoes and jacket. I liked what I saw and […]
MOTHER’S DAY AT WOOLWORTHS – BUY WOOLWORTHS MOTHERS DAY GIFTS ONLINE!
04 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 7 Comments
Now I’m sure you spotted those Woolworths Mother’s Day ads around 2oceansvibe. Mm, it gave you a fright, didn’t it? Mother’s Day always seems to creep up on me. It’s one of those tricky ones, because it’s not a set date. It’s one of those “second Sunday in the month” vibes. It IS in May, […]
RECESSION BUSTING R1 BILLION JACKPOT!
30 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Don’t know about you, but I just bought 5 lines for Friday’s Euromillions jackpot. I suggest you do the same. During a recession, why would you not? You know we don’t make a fuss about the EuroMillions lottery on 2oceansvibe unless it comes with a big jackpot. Well, this Friday is ANOTHER rollover with a […]

24 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 7 Comments
By now you would have watched Part 1 of the 4th 2oceansvibe Weather Girls installment. This one is Part 2. [If you haven’t watched part 1 then you need to do that first otherwise it won’t make sense. Seriously] It should be in the article below this one. If not, CLICK HERE. And so, once […]

It’s an action packed episode this week, split into two parts! Not only do we spend time with the gorgeous Genevieve Morton (grab a seat), but we also delve into the secret underworld of scooter thong riding in Cape Town – featuring yours truly. I was hesitant when I first met Gen, but, I’ll be […]
NEW APE TOWN RANGE OF T-SHIRTS HITS THE STREET!
23 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 8 Comments
You probably noticed in last week’s 2oceansvibe Weather Girls show (here) that I managed to get my hands on a T-shirt from the new Ape Town range. That’s right, the original Ape Town brand has just released a whole new range of colours to suit every mood! They’re really sick and, as usual, they’ve nailed […]

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, […]
DAIMS ARRIVE BY MAIL NOW
09 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
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 […]

TABLE MOUNTAIN FIRE ANIMAL DRAMA
23 Mar 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
Apart from glorious photo’s and stories about the brave firemen, another concern mentioned on the various blogs and Twitters following the recent Table Mountain fire , was the plight of the wildlife. The SPCA has been involved: Wildlife is the main casualty of the fires on Table Mountain – and the SPCA has had […]
CAPE TOWN DAIM CHOCOLATE SHORTAGE CONTINUES
23 Mar 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 8 Comments
Those of you who know and understand the orgasmic flavoursome proportions of Rotherham-diet-approved Daim (also called “Dime” in some countries) chocolates, have probably been sharing the pain that has been running through my body for the last few months. I had a fix for a while, after receiving this incredible bag of mini-Daims from Los […]
