TGIF: time for a little vaaaaaaaaaaacation

This has been a really busy week. Feeling more Gah Gah than GaGa. I’m usually busy, but seriously, this week has me totally tuckered. Go-go-go non-stop. Everyday. Mama’s tired. Quite looking forward to hibernating over the weekend. Writing, relaxing, finishing up KC’s book. Feeling like it’s new sketchbook day. Have these awesome neon pastels and whole new set of other colours that want me to play with them. I think it’s time. Lisa posted this pic of her, Breanna and I in her post today. So cute! We went to get our dresses fitted all together late week. That in itself, was almost as fun as wearing them to the ball. Thank you so much to everyone who came out last night. I’ve gotten heaps of positive feedback. Here’s a couple posts from Melissa, Romi and Sean. I made some vids and will get them up over the weekend. First, I need a break-ation from the interwebs and doing stuff. I’m exhauzzzzzzzzted. I realized after my talk last night that I would have no problem filling up an hour, I barely got down to detail. Really excited to plan the next event with Carly. If you have questions or wanna chat consulting, email me casie at casiestewart dot com or contact Carly at Fairlie Agency. I’d be happy to help you or your brand. That’s all for now. Toodalooooooooo!! Posted some hot shit on my Tumbr Blog OH CASIE. Enjoy 🙂 Happy Friday peeps!

stop complaining about the raining

You will not hear me complaining about this weather, I love it. Pull out a raincoat, throw on some Moovboots or Wellies and walk right through mud puddles. I’ve heard people whining about it on Twitter and I don’t get it. I could find a zillion things to do instead of that. Make a fort. Art project. Movie night. The rain, it’s so refreshing. Wet hair is kinda hot and mascara running down the face is super hot. Hope your day’s been good. Gramma came out last night. HAHA.

video made the internet star

I always dreamed of having my own show and thanks to the internet it’s so possible for anyone. I’ve been making some vids but I would LOVE to win this $250,000 viralocity contest with Doritos… BTW, I’m sick of the work viral. I can’t enter it because of my job but it’s open to anyone in Canada over who’s ever been teenager. I checked a bunch of videos today and didn’t seen anything particularity hilarious. This one is my fav cause it’s artistic, short, cute and has good music: This is Billy, he makes youtube videos that have mega millions of views. He said key things to viralocity are: 1. Humor 2. Short & Sweet 3. Unique. Sounds kinda like me doesn’t it. heheh… I joke. You gotta have creativity too. Doritos are out to see who can make the biggest digital footprint, so I asked him a few questions about the internet! How long you had your site up? 2004 Do you use formsrping? No. Tumblr? No. Youtube views? Over 11 million. Twitter: 879 followers/1,045 tweets. Have you ever been to GenyTO? No but I want to. Where you from? Victoria, B.C. Met anyone famous? Rhianna in YYZ. Nice softspoken, pretty. Interesting. If YOU make a vid I’ll totes post it!!

the rise of the bloggers, the revolution is coming

I see it more and more, (like every day) people brand themselves online & built a reputation are now getting the same invites and accreditation to events as traditional media. It’s really interesting to me because I always knew I wanted to be recognized for doing something well, I never knew what it was (duh, obvs cause it was like 20 years ago before blogging) but I knew it was out there. I’ve got lots to learn as media & the internet are changing public relations. I love the internet and learning about new ways to explore it. I met these guys all through blogging and actually, most of my current BFF’s all blog these days too. I’m happy to share what we’ve learned over the last few years with you. At the event blog below: (one track blog mind haha) You Will Learn: * how to get (and keep) the attention of industry peeps * how to turn your everyday life into compelling content * how to brand yourself online * what programs and applications to use to host your site, keep track of your statistics, and promote yourself & blog Click here for more information and to get a ticket. This will be good for offices & agencies who want to learn about connecting with Bloggers too. If you have any questions about it, just ask!

so you wanna start a bloggy blog, eh?

In the last couple months all kinds of people have been coming out of the woodwork and asking me about blogging. I’m talking people I went to school with years ago, friends from across the world, country, Mum, Sister and friends that were so not into ‘”the whole blogging” thing. If you or one of your friends are interested in learning about blogging, personal branding online and/or social media, here’s ya chance to get some good value. Raymi the Minx, Sean Ward, Carly and I along with Function 13 Gallery in Kensington are hosting a blog chat/seminar. This is your invitation from me. Get a ticket HERE.

synchronized speed scating vs. skating

Is that a spelling error? Hm. Funny. It went like this…Olympics, two blondes, blogging, bonging, thinking about new sport ideas. Me typing ” synchronized speed skating,” and typing “synchronized speed scating” by accident. We DIED laughing. So funny. Haha. I wish I could type as fast as I think sometimes…you wouldn’t believe some of the things that come outta my brain. I just typed “thongs” instead of things right thurrr. Lesson to be learned. Check your stuff before you post. There’s nothing worse than someone Tweeting/emailing/commenting/calling you to say you made an error. Hate that. Went for a stroll this morning in tights and my jacket. No pants. It was surprisingly mild out!

i’m just not that into you

I don’t really like to play. Not like that. It was fun for a little bit. I’m glad I tried it, but I’m not really into that type of display. Breanna and I did it together today… It’s fun dressing up. I like wearing masks and makeup. I also like getting scared, the waiting, the strangers. Think it’s more fun when you’re drunk. If you feel sexy you can really show off without getting busted. First One Up These guys were nice but didn’t speak English OMG! HI! We ‘nexted’ each other right away… Some people have cameras set up with scenery…? Straight face for about 30 sec… JUSTIN BIEBER? ONE TIME NSFW if you click below…………………

TGIF ♥ @casiestewart: are you on FB?

I ask and bat my eyelashes even though I’m home blogging & tweeting in tights and a snuggy. …. talk nerdy to me… Responds with full name…which leads to a T.G.I.F. search, twitter, google, internet, facebook. I’m the the jerk cause I don’t do it right after popping the question,. Only mildly curious anyways but mostly easily distracted and doing my own thing. First, search.twitter.com. No results, uses a branded twitter name so makes sense. Second engine, Google search, first result linkedin followed by FB and a couple other things. Third, Internet search, browsing any other site other than Twitter, Google or Facebook. I check linkedin, history of pretty good jobs, nothing crazy and very professional. This is a good thing. Last check is FB, we’ve got about a dozen common friends. I know this social circle. Friendship requested. The internet makes the world a small place. With just a name you can learn so much. This week I read a tweet that said if someone is not found on Google or FB, they’re probably a serial killer. Exaggerated yes, (I hope) but really now, someone with NO DIGITAL footprint at all? Makes me wonder if we could ever be friends.

you wanna score? i wanna score too!

My BFF’s & babes that run the infamous Bridle Bash & Bridle Bash Foundation are bringing celebs together tonight for Cabbie’s Annual Celebrity Ping Pong Tourney. Remember the last Bridle Bash when we made society page of the Globe? It was wild. I’ll be there with web celeb Carol Zara causing trouble, as usual. Wanna come? You can try & RSVP. I heard Drake is gonna be there as well as all kinds of other sporty types. I won’t know who’s who cause I never watch sports but that makes it even more fun. Hazaaa! Have a good day, Happy THURSDAY!

notabletv: hot babes tweeting

Last Thursday, I was one of about 100 people chosen to attend an exclusive event hosted by Notable TV. Good fun, great food, cool crowd, babes. Can’t ask for much more than that. You know these blog stars, Sean Ward & Carly. Blonde blogging babes, Carly, Lysnie, Casie, sounds so cute to me. I love Carly’s pink/blonde and Lynsie’s grey/blonde style. I’ve been thinking about grey with orange or pink or peach. Have never had orange/grey before, not on purpose at least. My hand looks really large to me here for some reason. I have small little hands like kid size . I’m never posing with my glass like that ever again. Take note. Papapparazzi on these boys! If you come to this part, you will get your picture taken/be on camera. There is no way to avoid it unless you wear a mask. We were at Annex Loft Houses, Bathurst/Dupont and the night was called Nuit D’azure. The Loft House site plays automatic music when you go to it so I am not linking to it, pissed off at them for that. I will also never buy a condo from them based on that single first impression in the 0.3 seconds it took the site to load. The crowd was fun and included all kinds of familiar faces to me. Sean Ward made this vid. I’m so freaking happy Sean and Carly had their cameras, I went back and redid this whole post. Makes a better loooking blog, my Milestone photos were subpar compared to power of a real camera. Catering by The Food Dudes, mme tell you, them boys make some tasty treats. Braised lamb with goat cheese on a little crostini and beet bruschetta, amazing. I’ve been attending Notable events since Julian Brass launched around this time last year.…

TGIF: i apologize to everyone & kiss my mommy

Twitter: His name has been trending all freaking day and every news station as well as Youtube and Ustream broadcasted the apology today. Also Twitter trending is #tigershouldve. What the hell has our world come to? It was if President Obama was making a statement about national security or something. Sheeeeeeeeesh. Google: Buzz…into it…kinda. Seems to be pulling in my Tweets in slow-time not real-time. Good thing I updated my Google Profile days before Buzz launched. Internet: Just discovered Caveman Circus today. Awesome does not even describe it. It’s a Men’s entertainment site dedicated to all the things men care to waste time on. Have fun 😉 Facebook: Tonight MTV is doing web-only LIVE screening of the new movie ‘Turn the Beat Around‘ at 7p EST. You can watch the entire movie and chat LIVE on the MTV Facebook Fan Page. It’s so they can get feedback before it airs on TV later this month. Preeeeety cool. Wonder if we’ll see more movies on FB this year? Seems like a good idea. Gonna check it out tonight. Have a great day dudes TGIF!

hot nerd takeover

OFFICIAL impact of #haihaiTO event: $22,030! #HaiHaiTO + #GenYTO = AWESOME! Party was stellar.Tons of people were there, if you weren’t… be sad for a second then make sure you come to the next one! I was busy selling raffle tix and didn’t bring camera so good thing Sophie got pix. I also find the Flash on my new Motorola Droid isn’t that bright anyways. BTW, I’ve got a reputation for selling mad tickets and I lived up to it big time. Hire me for your next party! haha Skip to :40 in this video where the guy come off the stage and dances with me. I’m ok with it until he dances UP ON ME. I felt his “you know what” rub on me and all of a sudden I was MAD embarrassed. SO many cool peeps and so much fun. We danced our asses off like it was a highschool dance. It was amazing. I met a heap of peeps IRL (in real life) that I only knew from Twitter. So good to put the actual person to the face/name/voice. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it a success. Will letcha know when the next GenyTO is.

party with TO’s coolest peeps? obviously.

I’m inviting you to come out and party with me and a whole slew of TO’s coolest, nerdiest, smartest and best looking people who love social media being social. This is the Feb. 2010 edition of #GenyTO and we’ve partnered with #HoHOTO to form #haihaiTO. Gosh darnit, just saying that sounds fun! Lots of people are chatting about it, look right here for proof. We’re donating proceeds to those poor folks in Haiti. You think the snow here is bad? HA! Imagine your whole house and life in rubble with no place to go. Ya, doesn’t seem so cold out now does it? HaiHaiTO is TOMORROW, Thursday, February 11 starting at 7 p.m. at the Courthouse, 57 Adelaide Street East. Lets have a fun night and do some good while we’re at it. I’ll be there early, like 7ish. If you’re not in TO but wanna be, buy a ticket just for fun because giving feels so good inside. Get your tickets here and NOW!

things like this make it not seem so bad

Surprise write up about me & social media in a Geek Girl feature from Two Geeks and a Blog. Bob who wrote it said “Holy cow! Casie Stewart may be a Jedi!” and quoted Star Wars. He also quoted “a blog is an engine” which was really nice because I like that one and it didn’t even get any comments. Found these today too. Didn’t know they existed, Search Stories from Google. This is called Newbie, it’s a grandma embracing technology. Oh Google, always warming my heart. You know just how to talk nerdy to me. You press all the right buttons. I’ve decided not to be so upset about my stuff, shit happens. No sense wasting time feeling sorry for myself. I’ll get it sorted this week and you never know, it just might turn up. ♥

OH: stop marketing, start engaging

First of all, OH = Overheard on Twitter. I layered my tights today as you can see, it’s the perfect way to incorporate fishnets into a cold winter day. Looking forward to trying it with my red guys. I overheard this phrase last night at a session for Social Media Week Toronto held by Scott Stratton. He runs a company called Unmarketing, he’s someone I look up to in the world of social media marketing, this guy really ‘gets it’. I met Scott about this time last year and he’s grown to over 47,000 twitter followers since then. He’s got a book deal now and the tag line for the book and his whole thing is “stop marketing, start engaging“. I learned a heap of stuff last night that’s gonna help me in my job at MuchMTV as well as furthering my own personal brand. Here are some interesting stats for you: There’s more crazy where this came from but, I shall save it for another day!

M.BL & SP: masters in blogging & self photography

Tonight I’m attending Social Media Trends 2010 & Beyond for Social Media Week TO. It’s sold out and hosted by Scott Stratton, aka Unmarketing on Twitter. Looking forward to seeing heaps of faces that I’ve really only been seeing via FB & Twitter for weeks. Might meet a few new peeps, hope to put a face to some of the names I’ve been following also. Work is good. Head is in check. Heart is happy. Sun is shining about as bright as the gold lightning Betsy Johnson tights I wore today. Zing! Have a great day 🙂

i’d like to wish you a happy happy

Chatting away with Sabrina and she said “He told me he saw a look alike of you today!?”, to which I followed “No way really?” said he asked if I “had any recent enhancements?” to which she replied I have not. Ah well, nice to know there’s a look alike somewhere floating around with big boobies, haha. In case you don’t know it’s Doppelganger Week on Facebook which inspired me to post some blonde babes I love. My favorite model is Agyness Deyn, born Laura Hollins in the UK and one year later than me. She’s so fab, really. Her hair is wild and short and blonde and she keeps it amazing all the time. Her style is a whole tickle trunk of awesomeness. I’d love to go through her closet and try stuff on. Nothing would fit me as she’s at least 5’9 and I’m 5’2″. I’d still try everything on and dance around. We’d listen to Charlotte Gaisnbourg and talk about runways of Paris & Milan and drink and twitpic then go out dancing. I like Pink too. Her first album is the only one I’ve owned but that’s not why she’s one I like. It’s her attitude, she’s all “I’m gonna do shit and this is me and I’m gonna be me cause that’s what I’m good at”. She’s not afraid to say she’s crazy, so what, she’s a rockstar, she’s got her rock moves and she don’t need you to like her. Also totally love her new love for public near-naked acrobatics. I love Gaga for pretty much the same reasons I love the others…attitude, look and style. Gaga is fearless and fierce, she’ll stand up for what she loves and how she feels. She exaggerates all the things that make her different, the same things…

balance sheet: january 27 2010 9:59pm

Sometimes I feel like it really knows me. We spend by far the most time together, late nights, all day at work, mobile, me and the internet. I’ve been suprised recently by suggestions Facebook makes, or genius in itunes, random captchas, the little things. For example, today FB suggested I use mobile cause I don’t yet and in little text below said “this person & “thins person” are using it, I smiled. They were both boys I dated, how did you know that FB, I never really told you. You little creeper. FB was like, casually suggesting I should creep on over to their profile and see what they’ve been up to lately. I chuckled a little. Oh internet… I find I remember stuff more now than ever. I like to take screen shots of trending topics on Twitter. It’s a snapshot of millions of conversations worldwide. I also like to write things down when I think of them. Smartphone is good for that, emailing yourself notes.

it’s like holding the internet right in your hands

I think getting a ipad would only fuel my internet addiction. I would become more obsessed with blogging, tweeting and uploading content…well, except there’s no multitasking, flash or camera…so maybe not. I’m a PC. itampon was trending on Twitter today, seems ladies ain’t happy with the name of Apples new little baby haha. P.S. APPLE if you are listening to me and the internet, give me a tablet to test out. I’m cooler than ijustine and way less annoying. Thanks. Love you.

hump day: fashion forward and puking rainbows

I’ve been really busy at work lately. It’s fun for me. Today, I had an awesome gathering at my desk about blog redesign. That stuff gets me really excited. haha. “talk nerdy to me”. I also set up a MuchMusic tumblr. I got included in a big meeting recently about the olympics & social media. Cool stuff. We’ve got another big meeting about social media plans for the Help 4 Haiti telethon. I love being part of all this stuff. One of the MOST exciting things to cross my plate is that MTV Canada is launching a fashion/beauty magazine in March and…[drum roll please]..I’m the Editor in Cheif! Can’t share too many details yet but it’s gonna be fun. I always wanted to work for MuchMusic , dreamt of MTV and visioned work for a fashion magazine…now I do! OMG. It’s alot of work but that means an opportunity to show I can handle it. I just feel sofuckingexcited every day, I almost puke rainbows. Also, #GenyTO anniversary party is coming up (Feb.5) and tomorrow night I’m having a little Jersey Shore Finale/Makeover party. Look out! Girls gonna be gettin’ Snookified! Have a great day xo

toronto life on the wild side

If you subscribe to Toronto Life magazine, I arrived in your mail box last night. I’ve not seen it yet but it’s out there….I got a twitpic from ModernMod. The article is about Cityplace the new-ish downtowen area where I’ve lived for the last two years. They chose a few people connected to the area to chat about living there and the lifestyle. They mentioned my rent (which is pretty easy to find out anyways) and that I was a Sunshine girl. I hope my copy arrives today. Go get yours this week!

TGIF: 2010 First Week Edition

This is me at work today & rocking my favorite sweater, that yes, is my own vintage circa 1988. Twitter Over the holidays I had a bunch of messages from people sounding like “Teach me about Twitter”. This made me happy. Jeff even said ‘I think I’m gonna Tweet” and my heart melted. I’m doing classes on using Twitter for Personal & Business just let me know if you’re interested, you know how to find me. I’m booking Saturday & Sunday sessions starting February. Google All week I’ve been exploring stats and facts about social media. I educated my team about using Google alerts and Google Blog search. Both are really awesome for keeping tabs on your personal brand or business and really hearing what people are saying. Internet I’ve answered like a zillion questions people have been asking me on formspring. I really like it. I realized more and more how the internet is changing thanks to social media. We are all becoming more connected. This image breaks it down pretty damn good [click to view larger]: Facebook I went back to using FB connect & Disqus on my blog this week (feel free to comment and test it out!) The thing is, people always comment on FB but that doesn’t show up on the blog. I’d rather people commented on the blog and published the comment in their FB newsfeed. Get it? This year, I hope comments on FB & blog will show up both places this year so everyone can join the conversation. Happy Friday. Have a wonderful day!
