Have you checked Kate’s blog katekillet.com? It’s full of tasty blog snacks w/ musical flavour. She’s the Queen of Music at casiestewart.com who started as an intern in March and is now my PA who helps with all kinds of things.
Kate and I met when we both worked for MuchMusic & MTV Canada then I snagged her to work with me! She covers events I can’t attend, joins me to snap pix and helps me accomplish a super-human amount of tasks in a day (like today). She also has good style.
Kate picks & posts the weekly tune here each Friday (Weekend tunes). She’s all up on what’s new & cool in music (hence why I hired her) but if you have something so hip not even the hipsters know about it, send her a Tweet. If you see Kate at an event say HI! You will love her.
Toady she introduced me to the Florence cover of Take Care by Drake & Riri. So good. THANK YOU!
Today I’m biking over to Yonge Dundas Square (where I won a car last week!) to launch koodonation.com, an online hub that connects volunteers with non-profits through microvolunteering.
There’s gonna be a fun ‘Wipeout’ style game for uni kids and I’m a judge with Jeremy Taggart of Our Lady Peace and Daniel Johnson from Stereos. The whole fun event is hosted Sheena from MTV Live. We’re volunteering our time and Koodonation.com is making a $20,000 contribution to a charity of our choice.
My charity is the Moving Windmills Project which supports Malawian-run rural economic development and education projects in Malawi. Mum introduced me to William’s story and I wanted to get involved. Here’s his TED Talk so you can be inspired too.
For more info on microvolunteering in Canada see Koodonation on Newswire here or check out the site at koodonation.com. If you’re around today cometo YD Square & say HELLOOOOOO!
First Happy Fathers Day to my Dad. Rung him & he’s in the shop working on an hot rod right now. You are cool Dad. I love you.
Gaga is performing the MMVAs tonight. I hope she some comes out to play later and I can meet her. Omgaga, I would be calm & cool. I want to meet her so, like no other.
This is my post from last year. I’ve done something fun on this day for the last ten years, MMVA day. Last year I ran @muchmusic Twitter durring the show. It was insanely awesome. Putting together a show is so massive, there are so many jobs it takes to make it happen. This year, I’ve attended MMVA gifting lounges & have parties galore.
I’ve put together the biggest baddest bag of goodies for Mum cause guess what, she came back from the sailing trip yesterday. AHHHH! I’m so happy & can’t wait to hug her. I missed you Mum.
Watching Top Gun right now and thinking that scene where the guys sing to her in the bar is a wicked good halloween costume. I love the Dairy Queen commercials. Waterski-boxing? Major crush on that guy.
Heading to Field Party 2011 in now then home to change before the night events start. I want to meet Lady Gaga, she is performing at the MMVAs. It would be so amazing to meet her. Snoop Dogg would be rad too.I’ll be home to watch the show. Post show parties include Velvet with Lady Starlight, Gag’s DJ.
You know I love Gaga. I’ve told you a bunch of times before. Remember the MMVAs last year? Kingi from Peach Berserk made me a custom dress with all the big performers on it: Bieber, Katy, Drake, Miley. I was excited.
I worked with some really great people at Much & MTV last year, the MMVA experience is very memorable. My job was Social Media Queen and it was super fun to say the least. Blog post from MMVA Day 2010 is here.
I’ve got a couple things planned for MMVA weekend this year. One is a party w/ Gaga’s DJ, Lady Starlight.
Starlight will be rocking The Velvet Underground (510 Queen St West) after the MMVA’s June 19 in Toronto. Doors open at 11.
Guys & gals, get ready. Came across this last night via Kevin Naulls, handsome Assoc. Editor of TorontoLife.com and one of the beards in the feature. Thank you Hudson Bay for this.
Stellar beard Kevin. His blog is the HOME of bearded. I lurk there often. Throwback to us last year @ Greta SS11.
These few are cute too…
He is thinking, “me & my beard are going to _________.”
Don’t even get me started on this one, Jano.
When I first met his stache a few months back, I was in awe. Never had I seen such a beaut sculpture on a young giants face.
Worked with this cute on at MuchMTV too, Nick Fox(y).
This one is new to me. He has a mini beard.
This one is nice too.
See the original post on the Hudson Bay Co. blog here. Safe to say I don’t think I will ever date a man who can not grow a beard. I have a crush on a beard out there, you know who you are.
Was at the lovely Spoke Club last night for a super fun Juno party. Olympus XZ is a great party cam. Loved seeing my MuchMTV family & all the other friends. Good people, great time.
Ashley & Kingsley lovely beauties from MuchMTV.
You may recognize this guy from CBC Q, The City or about a zillion other things.
Can someone remind me of this guys name? I have a terrible memory.
Remember Ryan? He was my intern at MuchMTV last year. He’s at Universal now, way to go bro. You’re awesome.
The ever so lovely & beautiful Shera Bechard, Playboy’s Miss November 2010 and star of the film Sweet Karma.
The one & only George Sully. Add him on FB here, he’s doing some cool stuff with his brands and I just might be showing up on the pages of his magazine TCHAD in the near future.
Tash & I used to be good friends. It’s probably been about three years since I saw her. She’s married now, congrats sista. Make sure you call me about your new job btw
So proud of Mike aka Mike’s Bloggity. He’s now the producer for BT in Calgary and a rad blogger. We hung at MMVAs last year for the first time but were friend on the internet way before that.
Brad just left MuchMTV to join Vuse. Totally rad dude. he said I was one of his fav peeps to follow on Twitter, me & SNP. We’re total opposites me & her. Toronto is gonna miss you BSSchwarts.
Last night at the Juno’s, he was this close to big winners Arcade Fire.
Jesse, what’s not to love about this stud. He’s got a new rad show on Much too.
There were a few bands playing downstairs. Morgan, did you play? You gave me your CD and I can’t seem to find it. I think some girls took it when they saw it was you.
Photo bomb #1. I think he snowboards? Can anyone confirm.
Photo bomb #2, haha.
Still lookin’ good ladies. I still have Morgan’s CD too. Hmm.
Billy is my friend from back home in Cambridge, nice to see ya babe!
When I was in Dallas w/ Virgin America for the launch in Declast year I hung out with LMFAO at the Opera House. That was the night I met Richard Brandson & Willie Nelson. These guys are a riot. Really fun & funny.
Oh man. Was in bed all day today. I need to rest. I am almost Tiff’d out. Premiere tonight thanks the lovely Cadillac Insider. Going to see CLIENT 9 The rise and fall of Eliot Spitzer. Have to go get my tickets but I don’t want to go outside yet. It sounds windy. Not as sunny today.
Yesterday was an awesome day, an awesomely looooong day. Yorkville all day Tastmakers Gifting Lounge for nails done, makeup and more. Thanks for the presents guys! That neighbourhood is growing on me, could also be that it is Film Fest so buzzing. Joe Fresh makeup is really nice. My lipstick didn’t leave marks when kissing cheeks of all the zillion people I saw throughout the day.
Diesel Lounge for lunch on the patio and a mini photo shoot with hot NY photog Raphael Mazzucco. He is apparently a pretty big deal, shooting covers of Time, Sports Illustrated and Victoria’s Secret. Can’t wait to get those photos. He was also very good looking; tall, long hair, charming.
Went to Vitamin Water Backyard Social. Was fun. Did this interview with O’Nizz and had my phototaken heaps. I could really get used to this kinda stuff. Met a few peeps that made a point to come say hi and were really happy to meet me for the first time. HI GUYS!
Vitamin Water party had a great bar, top shelf selection. Food was good too. Everyone was on Twitter which was fun. Hardly took any pics of my own. This is Blondetourage member, singer/actress and also ex-MTV babe Anna Cyzon. We in love, she has a great look eh. Blonde Jovi. haha
Went to private secret location roof thing on King Street after with some friends then home to change for the CBC party at the Hazelton. I took Morgan Ross as my date from the band Birds of Wales. We had fun, he is a babe. Photo booth at Strombo’s party was great. More parties should have those. I have about 10 strips of photos.
So many cool peeps at the Hazelton party, real celebs. I can’t even remember everyone’s names but Juliette Lewis was there. She is great. Apparently I am kinda known around CBC, some lovely exec’s were like “we know who know exactly who you are”. Hiiiiiiiiii! Please put me on a show, I’d be great at that.
This is Tobin. Once he paid he $5 to Tweet something nice about him. Man of the night Strombo w/ Brocklyn. Brock’s new nick name is sticking and he will grow to like it. He kinda looks like that Twilight vampire dude eh?
I can’t remember her name but she is an actress I think. Sweet thing.
I found this shirt to be quite amusing.
JULIA! We were in American Pie: Beta House together a couple years back. Total babe. My glasses are from FyshNation, they are new. You likey?
Meredith! Actress/blogger. She was one of the Top Bloggers when Notable TV did that list. She looks so cute in my glasses. Last Gang Entertainment boys Trevor & Dougie. Nice dudes.
Traci Melchor from ET Canada is such a darling. We would always complilement each others outfits when I worked at CTV. You know Chris from Designer Guys ya? Same pose/glasses face. Cute.
I am feeling less like punching myself in the face now and more like getting back onthe TIFF train. Hitting up Nikki Beach with my sister after the premiere tonight. Going to something super exclusive tomorrow, Vitamin Water House party Steve Nash movie thingy. I was asked to attend yesterday. Heard the guest list is A-Listers and there will be paps out front. Have a tea party Sunday afternoon for an Aussie comedy movie called JUCY. I keep saying to myself “this is my life, this is my life”. I only ever dreamed I would be doing all this cool stuff.
One week from today I will be getting on a plane to New Zealand for Fashion Week. Did I tell you I am flying premium on the upper deck? Oh yeah, gonna be my best flight to New Zealand ever. I need to sleep on that place cause once I get there, work starts. Please pray the earthquakes stop. There was another one today.
Must go get movie tickets and get ready to do it all again. I need to fit a disco nap in before I head out this evening. I have no idea what time I got home last night but I reckon it was late. 4am last call and open bar means time really flies. They say that’s what happens when you’re having fun, eh?
Ladies & gentlmen, it is without regret that I inform you I have left CTV as the Social Media Girl for MuchMusic & MTV Canada. I’m excited about what’s in store and I’m really excited to take on new projects. If you’ve got a cool project you want to talk to me about, I’m happy to finally say, I’m available (professionally speaking that is). heh heh.
Really looking forward to seeing all the Tweeps and meeting new faces tonight at TweetgasmTO, the Gladstone’s first ever Tweetup. If you’re around, come by and say helloooooo! Here’s all the info you need to know. I’ll be on the dancefloor cuttin’ a rug and doing high kicks as per usual.
I’ve got pix from Gaga & Warped tour to share with you but for now, I share with you this little bit of awesome.I’ve been crazy busy the last little while.
Today was the finale of The Hills so I was crazy busy. It’s almost midnight and I’m at the office working until the final After Show is over. I’m really looking forward to my bed and tomorrow. I have a fun night planned with someone special then I fly to Boston Thursday for the weekend.
I’m excited about life, you should be too. You will never be younger than you are right NOW!
Love ya xo CASIE ♥
