NUIT BLANCHE 2010: paint it red

Sitting in LAX waiting for my flight and thinking about Nuit Blanche on Oct 2. It’s the weekend right when I get back and I wanna see friends, I wanna see YOU. Every year I get a group of peeps together and we go out and cruise the streets causing a ruckus etc. I love dancing in the streets. Interpretive dance FTW! This year, I wanna do that again but BIGGER. My idea is to meet at Starbucks  – King and Yonge Street at 8pm. Dress in red, make a mob. Let’s go GENYTO!! How could would it be to have red paint & white painters outfits? A see of people dressed in red clothes? Red face paint? Maybe zombie face? 1,000 red balloons? I’m so excited for Halloween why not start early? Make a whole damn month of it. Lets do this together. I made a FB event, image above links to it. (Yes, I also hate FB events but it’s so easy to add/invite people ok. Just do it.) I love doing fun sh*t as you know, so if we have never met, this is a good time to get off your couch and come have fun with me & friends! Maybe we can karaoke after? What if we did mobile karaoke? Karaoke on the street? I’m open to any ideas you have too so like, share ’em. Lets have fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun! Have to fly to New Zealand now. Have a great night/day depending where the heck you live in the world! I’ve been time travelling all day – three hours behind in LA and about 18 hours ahead in NZ. Cray cray! I am so excited! Yahoooooooooooooters. Ok. Bye 🙂

he said ‘there’s this woman, she’s a hurricane’

Lets do this. Here we go. Remmeber my Guns on Plane story from the summer when I went to Boston? Read it here. Anyhooters, being calm and was careful not to pack an firearms this time. Go through customs and doing bag check and who’s line do I end up in? Oh yeah, same dude who caught me with the gun. He says ” I remember you? Any guns this time? Do I need to search your bag?” We laugh. I say no. He explains what happened and that the dude last time should really have given me back my gun, 38 special (metal necklace). Then some other dude says “they always hassle the pretty girls”, I giggle, I’m always hassled. I gave him my card and I hope he reads this. HI, NICE SECURITY AIRPORT MAN! Ran into Marcel next in the Molson Pub. Fancy that! He was on same flight to EL EH. The bartender took this artistic-fuzzy one. Cheers mate! Guess who likes to sleep on planes and had TWO empty seats beside them? This girl. Snoooooooozefest. One beer prior to boarding, then pizza then gravol then comatose then almost in LA. Quizno pepperoni + cheese za was quite good. What’s in my locket? Your heart. My heart. i love this poem by e.e. cummings. one of my fav’s: i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling) i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you…

leaving on a jet plane

Good morning. Had a FREAKOUT this morning. No not because of my adventure but because my  blog was hacked. Don’t do that. Seriously. Who the fuck hacks a sunshine-rainbow-fantasty-glitter blog like mine? Looooooooosers. Panic at my disco when I got the notification. Seriously. First thought, shit, I leave for NZFW today what the hell imma do? Please don’t hack things, it’s not nice. Bad actions/vibes you put into the universe have a magnetic particles and like attracts like and they will all come back to you. Be careful. Heaps of clothes. Thanks to Canadian designers Paris Li, Andy Hall and Nella Bella for outfitting me with style. Thanks to Telus for my phone + keeping me connected. Thanks Betty Kiss for the massive suitcase &  reversible clutches.  I packed shoes galore, Doc’s, cowboys, wellies and five other pairs. It’s fashion week followed by chill time with the fams, totes necesary. My two suit cases aren’t stuffed though, need to leave room to bring home lotsa goodies & prezzies. Taking some Tim’s coffee for a cute little blogger named Hannah in NZ. Carry on bag is from Nella Bella, the red reno suede. It’s lovely! I always bring my sketchbook on the plane. I get inspired watching people, looking at the flight path, reading listening to music, flying in general really. Crispers S&V are my fav snack (just saw on sale at Shoppers for $0.99, go stock up on my christmas present!). I can plow through a bag of them easy. SO crunchy. New Wired mag arrived yesterday just in time. Might actually read it sice I’m travelling. I’ve been getting it for two years and each month I browse when it arrives then leave it sitting there to rot, spine uncracked. Packed Kabbalah meditation cards, the 72 names of God,…

What do you wanna be when you grow up?

I wanna be Casie Stewart. I wanna be a world brand. I want to be famous for doing something great. I wanna be loved by you. Ok, really though… I wanna be myself, its what I’m best at. Why be anyone else? They all be damn taken. There is only one you. Remember that. You, you are the best you that will ever be. Make a name for yourself, of yourself. The other day I did a seminar about building your personal brand, I forgot to tell the sold out show – your brand is the most valuble asset you have. There is NO other YOU. Mum told me “when you have nothing left, all you have is your word”. Let’s hope your word has meaning, value and substance mate. No person in this whole wide world can make more content and stuff about/for you, than you. No person can make your dreams a reality more than you can. You are the best, be that best you. Go get it soldier, getter done. Today is about besting, be your bestest you. Nothing will make you more success than that. Love + light xo CASIE

this one time, i tried to vacuum…

I’ve never owned a vacuum but I do like vacuuming. I got sent this totally rad unit recently, LG Kompressor. In the handy kit from LG was this rug, dirt, coffee, cheerios and cardboard pieces so I could make a mess and clean it up to test how great the unit was. Well, I thought it was a crazy awesome idea to be all home shopping network and show you how good I am at that kind of thing. Yeah, not so much. So I set it up like this. Then this happened…watch with amazement and enjoy the music. No really, enojy the music. So, I got dirt and stuff all over the rug AND our carpet. I do not recommend trying to vacuum piles of coffee, dirt, cheerios and cardboard AT THE SAME TIME. Otherwise, the unit is lovely. Quiet and sucks really hard. Haha.

i’m over you baby, i’m moving on

Richard from Monster Media took this one. Sums up TIFFest pretty good I reckon. Thank you TIFF, Stella and all the agencies and all the people who have had me out to great events and films over the last week or so. It’s been my best year at TIFF ever and I’m throwing in the towel.  Need to rest up and get ready to take on New Zealand. Was at  (diet) Coke party first last night, was fun. They had a photo booth, you know I love that. Rode in a big Coke limo. Fun fun crazy. Shiny disco balls. Wore some recent goodies I’ve been given last night: Vest + skirt from Old Navy. White shirt + boots from Marks WW. Heart locket H&M. Lipstick is Poppy from Joe Fresh new makeup collection. Thanks guys. Boots are quite lovely. Nice colour and salt proof. Gonna test that hard this winter, walking in snow banks. Andrew F Stewart & Rannie, Photojunkie. Sent Rochelle to Festival Music House in my place but then I showed up anyways later. Was a guestlist asshole bringing people. I don’t like to do that but it was necessary last night. Appreciate Rock-It Promo for being so kind to me and not being mad at me. This looks good on me. Brocklyn was a hit again last night. Rising star he is. Watch it. Carly is his agent now. Her talent roster is a garden of awesome in bloom. Woke up to a message that I’ve got a minder/wrangler for NZFW. She’s a NZ hottie who goes by the name of Venus Tong, she is the head bitch at Party of Wolves, nightlife photography. I’ve also got a car picking me up at the airport. Hoping a handsome man in uniform is holding a sign with…

tiff day seven: what say you. seasons changing.

Do you have any idea how excited I am? I just might fly to New Zealand, with my own damn wings. Last night was fun. Lotsa bands. They were all great. Tokyo Police Club Jeff Parazzo PJ Lazic Julia Schneider Picked up a suitcase for a friend. Business cards printed. I’ve not really been into them thus far but I want to make sure everyone remembers who I am and knows exactly where to find me. They don’t have my phone number on so kinda fun to give away. It’s the important stuff, twitter, blog, email. All the info you need to know. You will always know what I am doing. More than some of your friends who are not on Twitter or blog or Facebook or Tumbr or Posterous or LinkedIn or whatever other MSN, ICQ crap you are still using. I’ve had a very productive day. I feel that I have to in order to keep going. It’s like I feel more motivated the more I work the more I do the more I wanna. Don’t try and stop me cause here I come. I’ve wanted to go and fly and take on the world forever .I am talking names and so are you. I refuse to let a day go by where I don’t feel like I am further ahead that I was the day before. I would like to start writing more. Can  have a column somehwere? I can be Casie Bradshaw. You should see the giggle on my face as I am typing this moving my head “blah blah blah”, pounding keys. Pause, tild head. Except, I wont write about dating or sexy people. I will write about dating gadgets, sexy fashions and attitudes. Pure awesomism. Going to a Coke party tonight. Coca- Cola TIFF>…

You inspire me, you always have I am so proud of you for embarking on your one year sailing adventure. I know you have been planning this for a long time. You make me want to take adventures. I am. It was lovely talkingto you today. Happy I could skype video and you could see my excited face. I got new business cards today and a big suitcase for my trip to NZ. Can’t wait to see Nana and the rest of the fams. I can hardly believe this is all happening. Things are moving along for October’s project too. I hope we can talk again soon. I would love to catch you up on the Y&R would you believe that Billy Abbot married Victoria Newman and is PREGNANT? Crazy, I know. Happy sailing! How cute is Mum? I can just imagine how styling she is on the boat right now. Full sailing gear,  hat to match. Probably rocking some sunnies we picked up in Kensington last time she visited. I have a whole category on Mum in this blog of artistic awesomism. Sending you sunshine ♥

you took something perfect and painted it red

A wee bit of stress is starting to sink in. I’m over film festing and focussed on New Zealand Fashion Week. I’m feeling quite artistic and looking forward to the plane ride. I love airports, people travelling. In my carry on I’ll have netbook, notebook, sketchbook, nintendo, pillow and blanket. Watched this little video again today, I think it’s so cute. Time lapse, I love. I got a heap of clothes from Mark’s yesterday, yes, the Work Warehouse. You might be surprised how stylish. It was really fun trying on anything and everything before deciding on what I’d like to wear. One of my fav’s is this long black super soft cardigan. You can never have too many cardigans, perfect for all year. I got a pair of mom jeans, red gloves and grey leather riding boots too. This vid is kinda cute too, the music is Yelle. Been listening to her this morning. Last night’s movie Jucy was really really good. I am so happy I got to meet the girls from the movie before seeing it. Really make a difference when you get to up close with the actors. I related to them and gave them huge hugs after it was over. Post movie I met up with Morgan for a coffee. He played me a few songs from his solo album coming out in the new year. Impressed. Mum used to tell me”You can’t fly with the eagles if you’re with the seagulls” and I like that. I’m surrounded by so many inspiring/talented people, it motivates me to work hard; to wake up early, to get things done, to be organized, to follow up, to be thankful. Have a wonderful day friends. Do something that inspires you today. Do something for you, do something for others. Giving…

film fest day five: lovely to meet you people. welcome.

Yesterday was quite lovely. I attended PSH’s film Jack Goes Boating in the afternoon with Michael. Walked through Kensington in the sunshine and passed Tattoo at/for 4:20. Then I met Lynsie and Shawna at The Red Tea Box to greet the cast of Jucy for a Tea Party. Was terribly cute, the party and the three of us blonde blogging babes. The Blondetourage rides again. I’m going to see Jucy tonight and quite excited. The Director Louise Alston gave us a CD with the films soundtrack and tickets to attend. The three of us sat down with Jackie (Francesca Gasteen) and Lucy (Cindy Nelson) from the movie for a chat around the tea table. They were charming and we are friends now. See you tonight ladies! p.s. How cute are they, eh? Post Tea party we went to Squirly’s one of my fav spots on Queen Street with some friends. Lynsie, Dwayne and I went to Hotshot gallery for treats & a toast to Jeffreyy‘s photography. Lovely exhibit he did in the kitchen of a resto called Grace on College. The night kicked it up a notch after that when we walked the red carpet at Charles Pachter’s gorgeous house. Honestly, the place is stunning. If you ever get to go there, go. Actually, find a reason. He’s the Moose guy? Remember all the Moose’s around Toronto? It was the event for Steve Nash’s film Into The Wind and quite the place to be. That’s where I met team Australia as I like to call them, Brad, James & crew from Aussie TV/radio. Shit got crazy after that. I took them to the Vitamin Water Back Yard in Yorkville and we tore the roof off that place. So fun. I have some serious following up to do and a stack…
