I’ve wanted to mention this for quite some time and finally got it done this morning. It is well documented that I use Redken Maneuver as my hair product of choice. It comes in at a reassuringly expensive price and is only available in actual salons. Like the Partners “Hair Design” (hilarious) chain of salons. […]
I was surprised, amused and concerned (all at the same time) when I spotted this TIK test in the local 7-Eleven. Or, “Friendly” Store as it is actually called. It doesn’t make a difference what the place is called; it will never deter from the fact that it has always, and will always, have the […]
De Grendel Wine farm. An exceptional range of wines, grown and harvested on the De Grendel Wine Farm in Tygerberg, with beautiful views of Cape Town’s Table Mountain.
With MNET going for the versatile, yet semi-fresh, Shrek 3; it was annoying to find e-TV went for Bad Boys – as MNET win this week’s round of the Sunday Night 8 o’ clock TV movie wars. BAD BOYSe-TV get lazy Sunday night 8 o’ clock movie aficionados will agree that e-TV have […]
I was feeling a little peckish the other day. I knew I shouldn’t be having carbs, but I felt noodles could slip through the net without detection. I wasn’t close to Long Street, so Noodlebosch was out of the question. And I didn’t hangover so I couldn’t deal with the dried out nonsense from Knorr, […]
It was a stunning affair last week as I attended the launch of the new Tracy McGregor Summer range at Blue Bay Clothing in Green Point. You’ll remember Tracy was recently voted the Hottest Woman in South Africa 2008 by FHM Magazine. Yup, that’s the one As the new face of Blue Bay […]
I’m not sure if it was their intention, but I could barely breathe from laughter as I watched a guy in a hoodie dancing in the window at the Apple Store in Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront shopping centre, a few weeks back. I knelt down on my knees and thanked God that I had my […]
Seth Rotherham stumbles upon the JT1 lingerie range at Woolworths, in Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront.
You gotta give our favourite Cape Town beer, Jack Black, a pat on the back when they bring out a tap and quietly have it installed at both Caprice and Mount Nelson’s Planet bar in the same week! JACK BLACK – on tap at Caprice and Mount Nelson’s Planet Bar Nice one – things […]
I don’t know. People say I’m looking thin and I must say I did have had a recent cardiovascular explosion in the gym, combined with an incredibly admirable dietary regime. But that stopped three weeks ago and I’m still riding the “God, you’re looking awesome” wave. But, truth be known, The Muse has reacted of […]
Damnit I want this inside me. Look how beautiful it is. Look at that classic logo with those FLAMES on top! Can you imagine drinking tequila infused with Tabasco? That’s pretty much as close as you’ll ever get to having your cake and eating it. Or, in this case, downing it. On your own. At […]
It was only Lalesso that lifted our spirits as The Muse and I attended another school project that was handed in a few weeks ago, this time entitled “Cape Town Fashion Week.” Once again we were treated to scenes and people and “organising” that INSISTS on giving the impression that this is all being done […]
I’ll be completely honest, I have NEVER found an anti-virus software program that I like, let alone one that works. There is ALWAYS something wrong with it. It either slows down my computer to a grinding halt (keeping earth in orbit requires a large number of programs to be running simultaneously on my computer) or […]
I’m quite pleased with myself. I popped into Carlucci’s yesterday to get a Chunky Chicken Salad and I spotted their range of stovetop espresso makers, as I do every time (always two words, it is never “everytime”). I bit my lip as I grabbed the small Bialetti Moka Express one-man unit from the shelf and […]
I was cruising around the Atlantic Seaboard yesterday and it was one of those days that reminds you of the importance of owning a power yacht. I looked over the small bay area of Clifton 4th beach and was pleased that a few players had taken the initiative. And that’s when I remembered […]
Not to be mistaken for the Funky Chicken which is, in fact, a dance. The Chunky Chicken Salad can be found at Carlucci’s, on Victoria Road, Bantry Bay. “Oh, ja, just opposite The Ambassador Hotel?” Yup, that’s the one.  The Chunky Chicken Salad – available exclusively at Carlucci’s  I tell you what, it’s […]
Well, I had seen this little puppy in a few of the overseas mags I get every month (which include Vanity Fair, US GQ, Conde Nast Portfolio, New York Magazine, Monocle and Wired) and every time I saw the ad I grew more and more aware of how badly I needed to own the Fujitsu […]
Following a browse of the 2oceansvibe relaunch party photographs, you were probably left in a state of alarm, at the incredibleness (new word – use it) of my tan in the middle of Winter. I’ll be honest. I cheated. I went to the tan can. And not just any tan can – it was the […]
It’s pretty much 4pm on Friday and before everyone packs up for the weekend, I thought I’d let you know what I found. It’s called Patron Tequila and is billed as the #1 tequila in the word! Ballsy, to say the least. Gorgeous to look at, nonetheless. So I thought I would take my first […]
I first laid eyes on the Louis Vuitton Evidence Noir sunglasses at the Louis Vuitton store at the V&A Waterfront and they were just too beautiful not to have. If I may.. The Louis Vuitton Evidence Noir sunglasses. Too beautiful not to have. Whilst the price tag was somewhat sensational, the main glitch was that […]
I popped into Future Exotics again this morning to have another look at that 2008 Rolls Royce Phantom I mentioned the other day. I just wanted to get a better grasp of what the car was packing – the “bells and whistles” as it were. I just need to know what one would get, SHOULD […]
Today felt like the kind of Friday that everyone would be playing along with the aforementioned and agreed upon Cape Town Friday Rule. I was so confident of the feeling I had, that I woke up and went for the CLASSIC “secret cloud technique.” You know the one: when you have a joint BEFORE you […]
I was once again amused the other night when we went to Chris Rock. The Lawyer and G-Man went with me to the event in my car and attended the VIP after party held at the same venue (Grand West) afterwards. As with most of these VIP after parties, booze was on tap and it […]
A local company has decided, for one reason or another, to lend me a brand new Audi R8 for a while. The guy called me on Friday and asked if I would mind. I’m usually hesitant to take up these kind of offers, as you don’t know what they want from you in return. But, […]
I’ve had a Personal Assistant for as long as I can remember. They get switched every now and then – but they are always there. You’ll remember I was recently advertising for a new P.A. – well I found one and she has become The P.A. on the 2oceansvibe Characters page. She replaces the old […]
I recived this gift from Dail-a-Surprize on my birthday and, I’ll be honest, I was pretty fucking impressed. This is premium, high quality stuff. Check out what I got: Quietly enjoy the little dinky bottle of Moet! Very naughty! What was in the box, you ask? Well, OBVIOUSLY it was a brand new 4-year-old Campbodian […]
It’s common knowledge that I keep a number of pre-teen Cambodian kids under the floorboards at the Bantry Bay house; for the express purpose of manufacturing fake Havaianas flip-flops. I don’t feel bad about their living conditions, nor the fact that I feed them rubbish. Those kids wouldn’t have a floor over their heads if […]
So we found ourselves at the Arniston Spa Hotel this weekend. We weren’t actually staying at the hotel, but rather a mate’s place. Nonetheless, we thought we would enjoy the very sexual vibe at the Arniston Hotel pool. For the uninformed and those of you who don’t know about the hotel or have never heard […]
[To avoid potential emboerrissment, the incorrect spelling of “journalists” above, is noted!] whilst potentially emIt’s a concept largely ignored by most of South Africa’s daily and monthly publications – you know, hiring journalists who know what they’re talking about, have communication skills and even know how to spell. I’m certainly not saying that 2oceansvibe is […]
Well it had to come to South Africa, didn’t it? I mean, it makes sense – cheap pet health insurance for your dog or cat! In South Africa. Why didn’t YOU think of that? How about a warm round of applause for South Africa’s premier veterinary pet health insurance company – Medipet. See what they […]
