Those of you who have an iPod or iPhone and have delved into iTunes, would have realised quite promptly that the SA iTunes Store is nothing short of dismal. That said, you are unable to buy music you actually want to listen to, let alone the super-cool apps for your iPhone. The iTunes account […]
A source gave us this. A new study has revealed that Brandon Huntley, who has been granted asylum in Canada after claiming to have been attacked by blacks several times, is the new black. Or more precisely, the former Capetonian is the descendant of one Francina van der Kaap, a woman “of colour”, and […]
Claudia Schiffer turned 39 about two weeks ago. Staring down the barrel at 40, we are prompted to reflect upon the smoking hot blonde german supermodel. In the days of the original supermodels (the “Big Six” – Linda, Claudia, Cindy, Christy, Kate, Naomi), Claudia was always my choice. She was all over my bedroom (it […]
UNBELIEVABLE scenes today in Cape Town’s TBK region (memo : we will refer to “Tamboerskloof” as “TBK” from now on) where a near-naked woman locked herself out of her house, after attempting to clean the exterior windows. “Look, something is going on over there at that house” “Oh my GOD!! There is a woman […]
So a bunch of guys and girls finally had enough and got together to prove that Telkom’s Telkom “1Mb/s ADSL” lines are so low that a homing pigeon could probably deliver the data faster. So they stapled a 4Gb memory card to the pigeon’s leg and sent the same size file via Telkom Internet over […]
As a 2oceansviber, you are required to know all about the extremely wealthy Italian Prime Minister and chauvinist (and professional spice master), Silvio Burlesconi . This guy is GREAT to watch! Stay tuned.. Our boy Wiki tells us: Silvio Berlusconi (born 29 September 1936) is an Italian politician, entrepreneur, real estate and […]
It goes without saying that the 10 September YOU Magazine issue which featured yours truly (on page 130) is causing absolute mayhem overseas. No, no, not because of me, but rather the fact that it features Caster Semenya. YOU Magazine decided to gave her a make-over, after the controversy surrounding her gender. This, from the […]
Sources for this story came from a newspaper. Crime refugee Brandon Huntley’s estranged Canadian wife believes he “suckered” her into marriage in a bid to secure permanent residence in her country. And mother-of-two Melanie Crete-Huntley has reacted with shock to Huntley’s claims to the Canadian Immigration Board that he separated from her – after she […]
Our traditional media sometimes misses the 2oceansvibe part of the story they’re publishing. Take for example this latest article which comes from News24 (Beeld). The headline was “Arrest after Motlanthe mishap” (here) and details something to do with a bad weather judgment by some air traffic controller, which led to South African Deputy President Kgalema […]
When someone told me that Vanilla Ice is coming to perform in South Africa, I told him he was talking rubbish. That’s when he grabbed me by the arm and said, “Hey, Seth, why don’t you just stop, collaborate and listen for a change!” Vanilla Ice I did, and It looks like it’s […]
Traditional media is under the spotlight again today. This, not long after our recent article discussing local traditional advertising agencies and their thirst for awards vs. actually getting their client’s message out and connecting with consumers (here). A large number of you would have first read about Brandon Huntley, the 31 year old white man […]
A handful of people send me links to this website called No Bucks, which is an “online portal of happy hours, specials and budget nights out in Cape Town.” I enjoyed the concept but didn’t know if it fitted “the vibe” correctly. But then I remembered that getting deals and paying less would take anyone […]
ANC Youth League President Julius Malema , who was recently referred to as Julia Malema in an article (here) about gold medalist Caster Semen’s gender controversy, has defended his statement that white people did not come out to support gold medalist Caster Semenya at the airport when she arrived home. Julia Malema iafrica […]
South Africa is a complicated place. The mind boggles at some of the stuff that goes down here- strikes, senseless killings, corruption and divided politics are things that we, as South Africans, deal with on a daily basis. It has apparently gotten so bad, that certain individuals qualify for refugee status abroad. But watching the […]
How awesome is this? I’m fine with that. [thanks allard]
Here at 2oceansvibe we tread a fine line as we deliver images of the beautiful life, including beautiful places, beautiful brands, beautiful people and beautiful models . With eating disorders on the rise, this line of work can be a dangerous business. As editor, I am acutely aware of how impressionable some of our readers […]
You have spoken, and we have responded. Finally you are able to order De Grendel wine, Jack Black beer and Pussy Natural Energy drink online AND have it delivered to your door! I swear it. Our boys at Diletto have done the right thing and added the drinks to their online gourmet food and beverage […]
So Marie Claire magazine ran a story (current issue) on shocking fashion and advertising images. The ad agency, NETWORK BBDO, got excited and pitched an idea to Marie Claire – an ad for Marie Claire on that very same topic. Marie Claire rejected the idea as it didn’t suit their brand. BBDO loved it regardless […]
I was in “comms” with Dom Peters from Goldfish this week and, while he and Dave are carving up the earth and the models that come with it, that doesn’t mean they don’t miss the fairest Cape. Dom writes: Off to London for the weekend, then Barcelona on Monday, then Brazil for a week. […]
Can you even cope for a second with the fact that Kika-Sack have finally bowed to public pressure and added the colour pink to their range of Kika-Sack balls? Pink, ‘cos you are so very.. I know – it’s too awesome for words! And to celebrate the pink vibe, we’re giving away 50 […]
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 […]
White 31 year old, Brandon Huntley, has managed to get as far as he can from the Mowbray mean streets. Canada were happy to take him on. This, from the Ottawa Sun : An Ottawa man has been granted refugee status after an immigration board panel ruled he would be likely be persecuted if […]
A buddy of mine is a partner at the Simbavati River Lodge , which is situated in the northern sector of the Timbavati Nature Reserve. He sent me an excited email yesterday with a link to a Youtube video. It was a recently taken clip of an elephant giving birth during a tourist game drive. […]
I don’t often suffer from diva-like behaviour. Not because I’m not capable of it, but more because I seem to deal with people who understand good hospitality, rendering the notion impossible. Let’s take Cosmopolitan magazine, for example – who on Thursday night hosted the 2009 Comopolitan Lingerie Fashion Show at Wembley Square. I […]
After kidnapping her 18 years ago, Phillip Garrido kept Jaycee Dugard in his backyard and fathered two children with her. Garrido is a convicted sex offender and suddenly, out of the blue, walked into a California police station with the victim by his side. He told authorities that God had spoken to him. Obviously. This, […]
A Microsoft ad published in Poland is causing a bit of a nightmare for the company. You see, the same ad was being used in the US, except the one in the US featured a black gentleman in the middle. He was removed for the Polish version. Enjoy these very average Photoshop skills: Now […]
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 […]
There are conflicting weather reports out there, including the one right here on 2oceansvibe. Believe what you want – personally, I take whatever shows the highest temperatures. That’s just how I roll – extremeness at all times. I found this on my iPhone using a stunning piece of software called WeatherPro. 27 degrees on […]
AWESOME footage was sent to me of The TBG donating the 3,267th pair of jeans to the Levi’s “Get Rid of Your Jeans For Good ” Campaign! The TBG caught dropping off jeans at the Waterfront I think it’s fair to say that if The TBG (who spends most of his time healing […]
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 […]
