Everyone’s trying to keep it a secret, but it’s pretty difficult to hide the fact that Vanessa Haywood, the star of the biggest movie in the world at the moment, District 9, is in Cape Town. Why is she in Cape Town? Oh…just to quietly shoot the cover of SA Elle Magazine! Now we’re talking! […]
Well, I tell you what, it’s a BIG moment for South African media. While 2oceansvibe isn’t shy to throw around the odd “shit” here and the odd “fuck” there, I don’t think we have thrown around the “C” word for a number of years. News24, have obviously decided to up the ante by happily publishing […]
See that dead horse lying there? Ja, watch this. [grabs whip] Once again, I’m not claiming this, but I’m just SAYING, that the latest issue YOU Magazine [*cough* of which I am a cover story] is currently featured on CNN (here). This, shortly after being featured in the Daily Mail (here), as well as the […]
That’s right, my little fashionistas – daddy has found something quite delicious for you to chew on! A few scans have been made of the 1966 North London Collegiate School Magazine, which includes an essay by current US Vogue editor, Anna Wintour – 17 at the time. If I could turn back time.. Anna […]
Ok, look, I’m probably completely overdoing it I just wanted to show you how big MY issue of the YOU Magazine is going. The likes of the BBC and Daily Mail are writing about it nearly every day. They are very focused on the cover story to do with the make-over given to SA gender-row […]
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 […]
Well would you believe it, I’m in the latest YOU Magazine! Even more exciting is that I’m in the issue with SA gold medalist, Caster Semenya, on the cover! And they’ve dressed her up all woman-like! Awesome! The 10 September issue cover Stunning! So, for those of you who are yet to find […]
Well it’s not every day that a Hollywood A-lister comes out in support of a local radio station! Heart 104.9FM celebrated the annual Heart FM Spring Dip, and Christopher Walken lent a hand and joined in on the fun! Christopher Walken“I got this watch…” No stranger to Cape Town events, Christopher Walken was […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
2oceansvibe Character “The Surfer” (AKA Anthony Fox) is making his name as a surf photographer and certainly took things to the next level this morning as the Cape Times published his pic of Twiggy Baker surfing “Dungeons” on the front page. The wave vs. prison ordealI’ll take the wave.. Quite a mean vibe. […]
I referred to a website the other day called Behind The Scenes. You can check it out at www.behindthescene.co.za It’s by a Cape town guy living in London. He does it very nicely and stops to observe the interesting and crazy things around London and surrounds. He does it well and it’s usually pretty thought […]
Well I don’t know if she had an actual LAUNCH or anything – but the fact remains, it’s there! It’s a blog called Hurricane Vanessa, and the writer is none other than Vanessa Raphaely. hurricanevanessa.wordpress.com As editor of the South African Cosmopolitan (and Editorial Director of Associated Magazines, publishers of Marie Claire, O, […]
LA tabloid blogger and the epitome of bad health, Perez Hilton, was caught smelling 2oceansvibe’s jockstrap as one of his cockroaches captured us getting some footage for part 6 (part 2 comes out today) of the 2oceansvibe Pauly Shore Zinzi series, currently being shot in Los Angeles. Perez “carbs” Hilton shows his uncoolness by not […]
I trust you caught the article the other day about how Obama unwittingly helped promote the new Rugby World Cup movie, after Nelson Mandela SUDDENLY received an ESPY award for his connection to sport some 15 years ago? Oh you missed it? No problem – here it is right here. Morgan Freeman and Matt […]
If you watch and enjoy/hate Top Gear with Jeremy Clarkson, you’ll LOVE this clip. It’s with Harry Enfield and the gang as they take Jeremy Clarkson’s character traits and vibe to the very limit. This is genuine quality. Aaah, God – that was great! [thanks michael]
Here in Los Angeles, the heart of La-la-land, anything is possible. There is a saying I made up many years ago, which Murray Walker stole from me and it goes like this: Anything can happen in Los Angeles, and it usually does! Take, for example, the tabloid magazines. Now, it’s one thing reading the likes […]
Our non-ex-pat readers on the continent and beyond may well appreciate a translation. The headline for the article to the top-left of the meat advert is to do with a worker who died after falling into a “meat machine.” Nice. Very mellow. Hey! Look at those lamb chops for only 28 bucks!! Are they […]
Absolutely gorgeous. Charlotte Hawkins IS an angel.. SKY NEWS, mornings, DSTV channel 402. I enjoy her. So will you.
Just look at it slowly and let it sink in. Embrace it. HANNAH MIN TANNE Hey? Hannah MinTanne? Come on, man!! It’s pure unadulterated GENIUS! Well done, snaaksgenoeg.co.za ! [thanks brett] ps. to our non-afrikaans speaking readers out there, “Min Tanne” means “few teeth” and happens to sound similar to the original to […]
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]
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 […]
It is interesting to note that American Law dictates that the descendents and controllers of deceased estates cannot sue for libel. So take into account the amount of borderline sensational stories were always waiting to be told about Michael Jackson, but were held back through fear of legal and financial damage.. And go! […]
Remember a few days ago (here) where we suggested they follow up on this fat kid vibe? Ja, well they’ve gone and done it. For those of you who missed this whole Megan Fox Rose Boy vibe which has been going on for a couple weeks (there are always a few), BASICALLY this cute little […]
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 […]
