< designers of the future >

Welcome to your hotel Miss Casie.

Gift card for $1,000. Shopping spree with the girls (models). Stoked!

We are here at the Met Hotel for Crystal Light Purse challenge where a bunch of designers are designing handbags. Mega blog girl gang hang.

So nice to catch up with all the girls. Wish Mum was here. She’d love it. I love being in hotel my myself though too. These are the designers.

Had a big meet n’ greet to learn about designs etc.

This prawn-magnificent was delish. I ate a whole bunch more than this though.

Borderline artistic.

Love you.

Your fav movies right when you want them haha. (Dazed & Confused yeah here.)

Olsen Twins at Tweet Valley High. See Raymi’s post here with more pix.

She beat me to the blog last night. My shirt needs to be tucked in better or shorts higher.

Always jump on the bed in your hotel, it’s good luck. (Don’t hit your head though)

Up & at em to go have girls brekky then scoot to Holts. Ok byeeeeeeee.

yesterday on twitter, this happened:

stand closer to the (star) light.

Big props & love to Think Tank Management for putting the party together last night. It was a blast. Lady Starlight is a beauty inside & out. She said “omg you’re so cute” soon as we met. I hoped that would happen. We got to chat & party. Amazing energy.

Starlight darling, please say hi to Gaga for me. Love you both.

Epic Meal Time w/ The Biz Media

Photo booth 1 is here. Photo booth 2 is here. The Biz Media is a totally awesome company full of really great people. I’m happy to call them friends. Check them our here.

Meeeeeeeeaaaaaaatttt O’Nizzle.

Sauce boss of The Biz Media, Guy Gal.

and then there was starlight

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.

Ok bye. xo

 

 

i’m a model you know what i mean

Oh yeah. This week I’ve got a fashion show.

Crystal Light contacted me and flattered me by  saying I’m a “leading Canadian fashionista and social media maven” then asked me to be in their fashion show for the Crystal Light Purse Challenge. I get to meet a personal shopper and have a shopping spree at Holt Renfrew. OMGaga.

I love fashion & style as you know. Remember last year when I was hanging out with NYC’s finest in fashion Nicole Miller & Derek Fabulous.

Other babes in the show are Anita SharmaValerie StachurskiKarla Moy,  Erin Blaskie Lisa Charleyboy, & Cammi Pham.

Fashion show takes place Tuesday at Design Exchange, Stacey Mckenzie preps me for the runway, then I do hair and make-up. Gonna be fun!

counting sheep in my sleep

Remember the awesome Margaritaville Hotel I stayed in last week? My pix were featured on Au Lit Fine Linens in the ‘Beautiful Beds’ post today.

They have some very beautiful linens & I really hope to get some for my big bed. Ahh, sleep sounds so good right now.

Ok. Epic Meal Time!

engaged in action, full of activity

Sat w/ Carly for Stephen’s NXNE Interactive session this morning. It was packed! Blondetourage rides again.

My pic of the slide w/ me on it didn’t turn out but his preso was good.

He mentioned me & asked me to stand up. I did. Everyone stared & a few people quoted me on Twitter. I’m special (holds L to forehead).

I’m super tired. About to watch the Y&R then get ready to stop by a hipster NXNE party w/ Raymi for an hour. Then I’m heading to the Biz Media for something totally EPIC…

EPIC MEAL TIME! Omg gonna eat so much. Hardly ate anything this whole week been so busy.

They’re all babes. Did you catch them on CP24 yesterday? Cool kids. Nice shirt & tie combo. Big fan.

Band members are Annelies Van De Velde (hot blonde!), Darren Bray, Martin White & Karl Bray. The Australian looks like he’s in a band too. Cute.

we do it right, we own the night.

Went to the NXNE Opening Gala last night. Saw heaps of friends I’ve known from the media scene for years. That’s one of the best things about festivals, the peeps.

My tan is so serious right now. Everyone was like “You’re so brown”. Love it.

Lucia so nice to see you. Jason, you should always have your shirt off.

Megan introduced me to a bunch of her cool friends from NY. Always a pleasure to see you 🙂

I love the dancefloor too guys.

Ladies bathroom bonding. So magical.

Left 99 Sudbury & walked to King West to party w/ Tiny Danza & friends at Cobra.

It was fun. Love the lights there.

Today I went to the Globe & Mail to chat a friend on the roof patio. Real nice up there. Stephen has a session at NXNE Interactive titled ‘How to Grow Your User Base!” and it just might include me. Check it out here or NXNEi Friday at noon.

It was very serious. Look at this form. I work hard at everything I do.

Left a note in Lina’s office & said hello to a few others in the G&M haus.

Picked up my NXNE wristband. This is the media room. I had to charge my phone. Then I saw the Australian, he got asked what band he’s in. Haha. So cute.

Cruised Queen Street, got a new Vice mag, picked up Chippy’s & went to Bellwoods. They actually HAD the halibut this time. Can you believe it? They are ALWAYS out.

It was so hot & lovely out. Had the perfect outfit for tanning, loose shorts & tube top. Post lunch got a  haircut and guess what? Teacher also goes to Darrek Kwik Studio & he was THERE.

It was such a busy day. I zipped outta the salon, walked to Liberty Village and went to School. They were having a summer BBQ and I had an awesome free dinner with a bunch of friends. Thanks guys! Food was grrrrrrrrrreat.

Ok bye. I’ve heading to the NXNE Opening Gala then to see Tiny Danza at Cobra w/ Z-List. Hope it’s not too much of a late one. Busy day tomorrow too. Gah.

land of plenty

MMVA Stage is lookin’ pretty rad. I love cruisin’ by there mid day on my own schedule. Liberating! I worked mega long hours this time last year getting ready for the MMVA show. It was fun at the time.

Took the subway yesterday. I rarely ever take the subway. Most the time I walk. There’s never a shortage of interesting characters. I used to TTC often & would write stories about people & things I saw. Remmeber that book lady, Seen Reading? I think she got slammed for writing about people on the subway. I wonder where this guy was going? I like his outfit.

Went with Keri to The Richmond to learn about Snoxin.

I’m gonna have a face like a child in no time.

Lots of pretty girls there & nice outfits.

This stuff makes you look younger. Better than any $500 cream and available for $39. Last year I got Nanoblur from the same company, that stuff is awesome too.

Post girl time, got beer & had a hipster hang w/ Australian in the park. Watched the sunset. This dude was totes checking him out.

I love park hangs. He doubled me on his hipster bike. I was scared, it was exciting.

Rushing to Spoke Club, then Globe & Mail then to pick up my NXNE Priority media pass. Hectic day. Wish I had a bike right now.

Hope you have a really awesome day!

XO CASIE

 

yesterday on twitter, this happened:

Pure beer bliss.

All the beer shelves were fully stocked, store opens today in Liberty Village.

I love straight lines. Everything was lined up with perfection.

Pretty.

Pinup. ♥

Very nice shop that appeals to urban consumers. Young urban professionals of downtown, generation Y, Yuppies 2.0.

SO good to see Carly & have her back in town. Love you babe! Carly is my agent and today I have a top secret audition for something on TV. I was taking our pic in the mirror here…

Then I totally spilled my beer. Doh!

Food was really good and outside they had an oyster bar. Look how big that one guys is! They looked to slimey for me. I kinda like oysters but think I’m stopping liking them. The slimeyness over does the taste & other effects for me. Wiggly little buggers.

Brown Barbie likes ’em!

My peeps comin’ down the red carpet.

We arrived early & left fairly early. My new thing, getting real good at it. It takes practice. DJ was really good. Arriving early gives you optimal time for dance breaks before it gets crowded.

We were drinking these beers & Stella. I love beer. Blonde is one of my fav’s. Obvs.

Hi friends!

Brocklyn, you are so studly.

Love ya Shan 🙂

Sebastian from bring Erica. Him & his bro are hot. Nice too.

Megan who I was in American Pie w/ years ago. Nice to see you, didn’t get a chance to chat!

Love you Carly.

Familia. I love you all. New short hair is tres cute Keri!

Raymi & I had dance party. Nice moves baby girl.

Your shorts were so hot.

Rose ceremony.

Marcello. You saw him in Textuality w/ Jason Lewis. I get the rose this time. Puma.

More blondes, omg. BLONDETOURAGE.

Ron, from inlibertyvillage.com. I wrote a cover story about artist Michael Golland for his magazine Mercato a couple years ago. Read it here.

Pretty.

Hometime!

One last stop w/ Raymbo & Teacher.

Do you see a win? Imma throw them out now. Can’t believe we didn’t win at all.

The beer store wanted to create a new & unique beer experience and they totally did. They have over 250 brands and are open to all brews. Got a micro? Send it to ’em.

Thanks to the team at The Beer Store for creating a cooler more mod version of the old Beer Store. Event was fun. I hope you have more beer parties.

Three cheers for beers!

you want him to do you so much you could do anything

Barbie & I jus LOLed to hard at these two videos. I was telling her a story and could not for the life of me get the words out and she said I reminded her of this kid.

Then, by luck we stumbled upon this GEM! Do you remember doing this at Canada’s Wonderland as a kid. I do. I wish I had my video. I was in dance and the time but no way I could beat this awesome kid. I wonder where he is now? Oh, he’s in Boston, MA and his name is Robert Jeffrey. TWERK!

annoying department: excuse me for a minute

One of the most annoying things ever is when girls (any age) talk about you to other people. I’ve talked about it before and despite getting older, it never seems to go away.

It is especially annoying when it is public, negative, the person has a high profile and they also don’t bother to say it to you directly. I was not Regina George in highschool and didn’t used to have the confidence I do now. I got bullied heaps growing up, mostly by mean girls.

Today I got a message from a friend on my way home from the airport after six hours on airplanes and spending half the day before in an airport…

your tweets & blog post rant about parents with kids at airport is causing a shit storm with parents on fb”

GREAT! Welcome home!

First: Thank you for reading & linking to my blog Erica.

I’m happy to have you as a reader. I’ve been a fan of yours since I was a kid. Circa 1991 here, lookin’ cute.

We both worked at MuchMusic and I’ve often wondered if  we would work on a project together. We both blog & Tweet in Toronto. We have many friends in common. I always though of you as cool with great style.

 

Second: Why didn’t you comment/say ANYTHING TO ME?

I know you’re not shy. Lots of options, Twitter, Facebook, Fan Page, blog email? I am surprised you would single me out like that to your friends on Facebook without commenting as a mother yourself.

I waited to see if you would say something to me since you were engaging your audience about my blog post. You didn’t. Your comment “what people without kids think of us who have kids” is a silly generalization about those who have kids and those who don’t.

I am one person and this blog is about my life, not all people who don’t have kids.

 

Third: To the Commenter(s) & Everyone

I am not an asshole for saying it is annoying to let your kids make a wrack and misbehave in a busy public place.

The post before that was about kids & family and my Mum commented on the blog post you linked to (if you bothered to check).

I traveled heaps as a kid with my parents and yes, I for sure made noise, I was a baby/kid. Mum said I was real cute in her comment though,  thanks Mum!

Why didn’t you share your thoughts from a mothers perspective?

Maybe you have some great ideas on how to deal with a situation like I was in?

I had ear phones but you need to listen to the loud speaker for flight information when you are delayed.  They were making it very difficult.

If you have thoughts on something I publish, I’d LOVE to hear about it. This is the sharing economy of internet awesomeness.

There is a difference between being a kid and being a misbehaved bratty child. I posted how I feel about the situation I was in.

Let’s hope this incident inspires people to raise their children with manners & etiquette. We want the younger generation to be kind & respectful. Don’t we?

Also, if you would like to submit something to the brand new Annoying Department, please do that too.

Oh, guess what? I don’t really like animals either. OMG.

P.S. I ordered this awesome unicorn lightsaber t-shirt from Threadless and I Love Katy Perry. She looks so cute in braces. I had braces in high school too. I go see her in concert soon!
