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 […]
Look, this has got absolutely nothing to do with District 9, other than the fact that it involves an alien. E.T. to be exact. It’s an old pic of me as a kid which I’ve been toying with for, like, an eternity. I didn’t know what to do with it, but I realised it had […]
Right, ok, did anyone check out the Cape Times front page this morning? If so, there may be more to it than you thought. Standard stuff? Just you wait.. As expected, it featured the ongoing gender-bender saga of South African female athlete, Caster Semenya. Bless her and all that, but did you read […]
Do you know about Mpho Gift Ngoepe ? Gift is a black Sotho tribesman from South Africa who literally grew up in a South African club baseball team’s clubhouse (his mother was/is their caretaker) and made his way to America. He has also just been featured in the US Sports Illustrated. This, my friends, is […]
I was interviewed by YOU Magazine over the last week and got chatting to the photographer, Martin de Kock. I was quite impressed with his CV of who he has shot before and asked if he did any other work. It seems our boy has a little exhibition going on! I thought I’d let you […]
The SuperEnaLotto has been scooped by just one person this weekend. Given the lucky punter a jackpot of £127 million to play with. In Rands, that’s about R1.6 billion. I’ll quickly add that in US Dollars, it comes to $200 million. The staggering jackpot was being reported since before the win, by SKY News and […]
I popped into Cafe Roux in Noordhoek the other day. I just love the place (even though they don’t yet stock De Grendel wine) because you never quite know what you’re going to get – be it the patronage and/or the surroundings. Last Sunday, for example, featured what could only be described as “Aladdin’s Grandmother” […]
What a wonderful website I have found for you! It will be enjoyed by both male and female readers (enjoying the much-celebrated perfect 50/50 gender split enjoyed by 2oceansvibe). The website is called The Art of Manliness and can be found, funnily enough, at www.artofmanliness.com www.theartofmanliness.com There are so many topics on the […]
This must be the find of the century! FINALLY, you can keep a beady eye on Cape Town’s traffic situation and possibly change your route and/or timing to suit. Just by going to THIS website. Check this out, taken yesterday at 17h23, as you get onto the N2 next to the entrance to le Waterfront. […]
Got this little pearler last week. I want you to see it. It’s really special. Stunning! Hi Seth, I hope your Hollywood adventures are going swimmingly! The cold, wet weather has returned to Cape Town this week – but I’m counteracting the appalling weather by contributing to the South African red wine sales, […]
Wow! What a radical response there has been so far to the Levi’s “Get Rid Of Your Jeans For Good” campaign! For those of you living in the netherworld, who may have missed the article, CLICK HERE to find out about how you can earn up to R200 for giving away your old jean pant […]
Not sure if you caught the recent press about one of the late Brett Kebble‘s old properties going under the hammer. The one in Bishopscourt . They had some pics in the paper, but none of the inside of the house. I thought I’d get those for you. Check out the outside shots and press […]

As you know, I was working with Pauly Shore for the last few weeks in Hollywood – bringing you the 2oceansvibe Pauly Shore Zinzi Series . The show documents 27 year old Zinzi’s visit to Hollywood, on an adoption trial run with Pauly. As you can imagine, it’s been a pretty crazy time. Some of […]
