To further prove that Cape Town is the most laid back city in the world, I thought we would do some intensive Monday research by heading to the beach to check out the vibe. Really probably the first Monday this summer that I’ve considered going to the beach, I didn’t expect too much of a turnout. You know, with Monday being a “work” day and all that jazz. I was amused when I walked onto Clifton 4th beach and was presented with what seemed to be a beach party. On a Monday.

Mondays are supposed to be used for working, cutting deals, salvaging this world “economy” that everyone says has crashed. The only thing that was crashing was me…onto my towel…with the Gucci shades.

Have a look at what I HAD to deal with today. There is no way around this…I had to go to the beach as it’s what you would have wanted. And I had to deal with what was on display.

Also of particular interest was the guys who strolled in from nowhere, appearing to be wearing European Swimming Trunks. It’s quite an interesting vibe they are going for. The colours of their swimming trunks were also something to take note of. Blue, orange and a salmon type colour.

Kicking it old school 

I was also, to say the least, pleasantly surprised when Pharrell walked along the shoreline right in front of me. I didn’t know he was in Cape Town, but he was carrying his Ice Creams in his hands so it must have been him. I couldn’t see what sort of ice cubes his fingers were sporting, but I’m sure it was him nonetheless. I think the black t-shirt, hat perched sideways and bright sunglasses gives it away as Pharrell.

Drop it like it’s hot… 

Quite an interesting beach/ Cape Town/ summer look he is going for but he is probably trying to set a summer trend right there. Look out for it.

So that was Clifton 4th beach in Cape Town on a Monday. I’m not sure if quite the same pictures would be coming out of London right now, what with the lack of beaches and sun and tanned people. Unless you count those hideous Oros tans that some of the Londoners…Londonites…Londonzizzizzes seem to sport.

I’m quite beat as the sun has taken it out of me and I’m probably going to light a braai right now and try write up some stuff on the boat show. I will get the photos and maybe speak about it tomorrow.

Or Wednesday.

I’ll probably be on the beach tomorrow.

Harassing super models.
