It’s interesting to note that Dirty Skirts lead guitarist, David Moffatt, sent this in. Michael Jackson is obviously one of his major influences – I had no idea. I’ve been given their latest album another listen, trying to pic up some MJ flavour…. but I can’t find it. But Dave does dance sexy – so […]
Paul from 1800 restaurant downstairs at the Cape Royale (click that if you haven’t seen this place yet) made a call to my room on Sunday night – “Thanks for the Butlers Pizza” he said, “the staff are all feeling the vibe.” Aah, good, the 10 larges had obviously arrived! Wonderful. They’ve got a lovely […]
Hello Friends! I write to you from a Starbucks somewhere in Paris. Those of you following 2oceansvibe on Twitster will be well aware of why I am not in Ibiza! Oh, you’re not following 2oceansvibe on Twitster? Well you’re just missing out then.. That is the hotel I’m staying at in ParisWeird shape […]
Those of you following me on the Twitmeister will be well aware that Air France lost my luggage between Marseille airport and Paris. I still don’t have it, but am enjoying the extravagance of wearing brand new jocks every day. Although it can very often backfire. I’m referring, of course, to the process one goes […]
I am writing this from a café somewhere in Paris as The Muse downs another glass of rosé and the waiters eyeball me, wondering when exactly we will be ordering dinner (I’m going for the fish). That said, this is going to be a quick one. But an important one, nonetheless. It’s to do with […]
The Kitesurfer (very good looking, single, good pedigree) is known for his DIY expertise and hands-on nature when it comes to virtually anything. From home-made beer and wine, to potato guns and the restoration of vintage cars… he’s done it all. Except this.. Please enjoy “the flying boat” – he sent me this video and […]
I nearly wet myself yesterday at the St. Remy market (where Princess Caroline and Princess Charlotte have a home and past residents have included two very close friends of mine, Van Gogh and Nostradamus) as I walked around, deep in thought, mainly about you. You’ll recall previous sightings (here ) of crazy-ass dogs and ears […]
This article comes as a general warning to those of you with South African passports wishing to travel to the US or Europe via the United Kingdom. I URGE you to use another hub of sorts, as the new requirements for a simple transit visa are EXACTLY the same as if you were applying for […]

Paris Hilton in blue More getting out of car NSFW here PEOPLE reports: “In response to the inquiry on whether […]
It’s one thing behaving like a rock star, but it’s a fine line between being a rock star and losing every last ounce of sense. Like Pete Doherty who was recently arrested in Geneva, Switzerland after he was found slumped over in the airplane bathroom with a hypodermic needle. Pete DohertyIn very good nick […]
Local law enforcers and “peace officers” should be warned – they are not above V&A Waterfront law. As we see in this pic, Cape Town cops who think they can abuse a yellow/red line vibe, are going to find themselves getting a bit stuck. Literally. And punished!Outside the Aquarium It’s not the first […]

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 […]
Seth Rotherham’s primary residence in Cape Town (when not playing in The Safe House!) is a penthouse at The 5-star Cape Royale Luxury Hotel on Somerset Road in Green Point. From writing and thinking to meeting and drinking, this is where Seth conducts and facilitates “the vibe.” The 5-star Cape Royale Hotel and […]

My passion for Louis Vuitton is well documented (here, here and here) and I’d be hard pressed not to show you this blinder of a luxury toy. The Louis Vuitton “Breakfast in the dessert†trunk. Quietly enjoy this: Louis Vuitton “Breakfast in the dessert†trunk Basically what’s happened here, is a possibly-loaded Chinese […]
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 […]
Dubbed the Hélicoptère par Hermès†and priced at $6 million, the EC135 helicopter is created by a collaboration between Eurocopter and Hermès, the French luxury goods designer. Let’s get into to it.

That’s right, the 2009 Gumball 3000 Rally runs from 2 to 8 May. For those of you who don’t know what it’s about, it’s a lot like the scooter rally we went on the other day through Cape Town, except completely different. It’s a cross country/ies 3,000 miles long and is done in ultra-luxurious, rare […]
Ok, the whole “swine flu” topic is on everyone’s lips (good one) and I think it’s reaching a point where we need to be more educated on the topic. Let’s get through that, then we’ll chat about these recent local cases. A friend of mine, Wilfred Ikipedia, filled me in on the vibe. check it […]
Role play has always been enjoyed here at 2oceansvibe. You may have picked up that The Roofer enjoys quite a bit of surfing exposure, whilst The Surfer himself has recently been spotted (with great success , I might add) trying his hand at photography (here). Not that this should effect the title of The Photographer. […]
I don’t know too much about wine, to be quite honest. I drink wine that I think tastes good and that’s probably why I’ve settled for De Grendel wine. Quality stuff, easy drinking and affordable – with all the awards to boot (just in case there is a wine snob in the room!). The oldest […]
Wow, I certainly hope that this doesn’t effect our local tequila supplies. Remember when that happened a few years back? Suddenly there was no tequila in town. In fact, there was a global tequila shortage if I remember correctly. Hectique! Anyway, you may have heard about the Swine Flu outbreak all over the US. From […]

Not sure if you caught this wonderful little spot of rural graffiti. Just after the recent Table Mountain fires (here), there were a few spots in the Zonnebloem area which weren’t burnt. some of them were circles. Like this one below. Which someone drew on a smily face in the middle of the night! […]
