sorry but i just don’t have a face for radio ok

This weekend was a good one for me. I didn’t clean my room (like planned) or have thanksgiving dinner but I did make changes to my blog, hang out with friends and do a radio show. Take a peek around, I’ve added some pages, changed links from redish to hot pink, and a few other tweaks here and there. Let me know what you think. Big, UPS to Patrick from Toronto City Life for helping. You rule dude. We’re kicking things up a notch at the casiestewart.com office. PAWS UP. On Sunday afternoon while many of you were stuffing yourselves, I was a guest on Perpetual Radio Network’s Social Media Show. I dropped  in to discuss Toronto International Film Fest (TIFF), New Zealand Fashion Week (NZFW), the Virgin America Provocateur contest/win, influencers and much more. Give a listen or download the podcast for the train ride home today. It’s free and awesome. Happy Monday 🙂 P.S Check out Ontario Microfit: This program offers substantial benefits for home and business owners who develop small or ‘micro’ renewable solar power systems of 10 kilowatts or less. Yay envirinment!

the things you own begin to own you

Can someone please come clean my room? All I want to do is internet and it won’t clean itself. I like to drive around, take photos and tell you about it. This is my life. A happy day or them, a nice photo for me. A story for everyone. What’s happening here? I dream about living in a big old house with tree covered streets. I grew up in a place with lots of trees. Our house was close to a river. Found Lynsie’s prints at Pretty Freedom in Kensington on a stroll. Coney Island, I will see you with my own eyes one day. Blue Banana, eye spy something from a New Zealand family I know so well. Brittle I love too. Mirror ring so pretty. Fun for late night party goers possibly? Nice nails too Sabrina. These tights are coming to Canada. I am bringing them. Would you like a pair? Tell me.  We can haz lots of colours. Yes, these are my new boots. I will wear them like regular boots, wherever, whenever. I should be cleaning my room right now. I have internet addiction and I like it. Do you like it? Maybe you have it too!

cute article on thread.co.nz – DEREK DRESSES CASIE

Thread.co.nz is New Zealand’s home of fashion online. On the last day of New Zealand Fashion Week, Derek Fabulous and I went shopping with the Editor of Thread Megan Robinson and it was a RIOT (as you will see). Please note I am wearing a Foursquare shirt. I’m so styling, nerdy and cool at the same time, haha. Read the article here, it’s really cute (all the pix link to it as well). Follow Derek on Twitter & @threadNZ for style from NY & NZ. I laughed so hard when Derek put this on his face. He was like, totally serious. DEREK I MISS YOU DAH’LING! “Grabbing a frilled tulle skirt, Derek used it to whip Casie as he held onto the reins of her leather waistcoat.” This was my fav outfit: “Casie in a 40s swimsuit, leopard jacket and red velvet hat.” No pants baby. Gaga this one’s for you! PAWS UP!

Got no diamonds, got no wealth. I got no man, but I got my health.

Love this tune. How great of a movie is Beaches? I remember watching in in the basement on a Saurday morning, early, with my sister. Sad but so happy their friendship those two. The shirt above is Cybelle from NZ. My fav Orly nail polish in shiny Black Out and Joe Fresh matte lipstick in Poppy.  A couple of my recently acquired  new favourites. Went to Shopgirls Gallery Boutique the other day and got some Yoga Jeans. Great little shop it is, located in Parkdale and carries all kinds of Canadian designers. All the staff are artists and they have gallery space on the walls. They have a blog, Twitter and are on FB too. Michelle the owner took me around and we perused all the Canadian designers. Look at her in the gorgeous collar. I want! These are the Yoga Jeans I picked, signature limited edition made for Shopgirls exclusively, down to the last couple pairs ones. Check me out, Shopgirls logo there. This is the standard lunge test. It works, they are SUPER stretchy. Wont lose their shape. Retail around $110 which is totes reasonable. I never wear jeans and wore them all day yesterday, deff Casie approved. The best pants I’ve worn in a while. Go to the boutique and get some of your own it is at 1342 Queen Street West. They are probably open call 416 534 7467 to check first. It reminded me of a little shop I might see in Ponsonby, Auckland filled with New Zealand designers. I love all these kinda things with feathers and lace and leather. This table was so cool. Made from bicycle parts as you can see. I’d love to see Dad make one of these. Hey Dad, can you make this? I know you can, I mean…

dreaming of far away places with you my love

Two tone tights by Adrian Hailwood, New Zealand. I was given them by Adrian during New Zealand Fashion Week. Check out these ones with three colours. I want them all. Not feeling so hot today. Don’t have time to be sick either. Waiting for the crew to ge here to film something for an upcoming campaign later this month. I can’t tell you just what yet but I’m the spokesperson. My first gig like this and I really hope for more. I love being on camera and promoting things I like. This week is less busy than all of September. Thank god. I can’t afford to burn out. Dreaming of a vacation in January. Where should I go?

imma eat you up.

This is my fav shiz right here – Jaffas, Minties, Pineapple Lumps (got them in the freezer), a dark chocolate Peanut Slab and a meat pie. I loooooove these guys, this stuff is New Zealand ledgendary to me. I will bring some home. It’s really fun to be a Canadian/Kiwi here for Fashion Week. I am stoked to see a bunch of shows tomorrow. Met lots of nice peeps this evening. Wore a dress by Canadian Designer Paris Li -looking forward to seeing what she says after I styled it up kinda different. It was #3  (see here) from when I tried on dresses at her place. You wont recognize when I show you tomorrow, I insist on being different. Meet my minder Venus Tong tomorrow morning at breakfast to sort out what shows I am attending. She is a babe. They have all day music videos on more than one channel. Remember when our music stations had that? It was my fav. Found this new song today by Kimbra on JuiceTV, their site is cool. The video caught my eye and the beat crawled up in my ears and made my body wanna move arond. Toes tapping. I am having fun.

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 🙂

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 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…
