In this week’s episode on Coral TV I talk about TIFF, how to stay connected, and things to check out. This next week is going to be CRAZY busy. I’ve got a full calendar of films, lounges, and parties to attend starting on the 6th for 10 days. I’ll do my best to document it all! Make sure you’re following on Twitter for all kinds of up the the minute film stuff, celeb sightings, and fun.
Bon weekend!
Serious Tweeting happening here!
Hey friends! I have two tickets to a TIFF screening next weekend for you compliments of Orville Redenbacher’s, a sponsor of the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival. See below on how to enter. You must enter by tomorrow and contest is only open to GTA residents.
Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Connelly, Lily Collins, Kristen Bell and Logan Lerman star in this touching comedy-drama about a successful novelist whose obsession with his ex-wife has sent his perplexed family into a tailspin.
I would love to see ‘Writers’ movie and am going to try and catch it the following day. So many great films, so little time! Make sure you also enter the Orville popcorn national contest through the newly launched Orville Canada Facebook page at Facebook.com/OrvilleCanada.
You could win an all-expense paid trip to a start studded TIFF event!
P.S. Also, if you haven’t tried the new ready made Orville popcorn, do it. The sweet & salty is my fav!
I wrote this a few days ago but figured I’d wait till September ‘official’ to post it for those ‘it’s too early for Halloween’ people. It’s

I’m in love with “It’s Time” by Imagine Dragons. It’s in the soundtrack for Perks of Being a Wallflower and I’ve purposely not finished the book so I can stay in it longer. Be infinite. Title is one of of the lyrics.
I had such a beautiful weekend in Montreal. I’m uploading a bunch of photos to Pinterest here if you wanna check ’em out. Will have a video up later today. It’s lovely getting away for a few days. Being back in the city is good too, but busy. TIFF starts next week. One of my fav events is the Festival Music House put on by RockIt Promotions, there’s always a bunch of good bands and the crowd is fun. See posts from 2011 & 2010 here. Can you believe it’s almost September? Crazy!
I love the way my tattoo looks in this photo I edited. It was taken w/ Cannon Rebel and messed around with in Picasa. I use my iPhone so often for photos I forget how amazing it is to work with a great camera.
Listen to this song, it will uplift you!

Adieu Montréal! Temps de rentrer à l’Ontario et à retourner au travail. Ça a été une tranche. Merci W Montréal pour un excellent séjour, Ford Canada pour une voiture douce et la technologie pour rendre tout cela possible. La vidéo nous avons fait est rad. J’ai utilisé Google Translate. J’ai une amie française qui pense qu’il est tout à fait hilarant et c’est pour elle.
Vous avez un super journée!

Great weekend in Montreal so far. Filmed w/ GoPro in the car today. I am going to be GoPro obsessed now. The Ford Fiesta is fun. Really good on gas. I love the old cobblestone streets in Old Montreal, this is such a great city. Beautiful day out today, super hot. Heading back to Toronto Monday.
Hope you had a nice weekend!
The clock is ticking! On Setember 6th Toronto joins over 18 countries and a zillion worldwide events for Fashion’s Night Out. This is the first ever FNO in Toronto so it’s kinda a big deal. It’s also the opening night of TIFF so, izzz gon’ be crazy!
FNO was created in 2009 as a collab between American Vogue, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, NYC & Company and the City of New York. It’s a night for shoppers, celebrities, models, editors and fashion lovers to get together over shopping, style tips, make-overs, and parties.
I’m on the social committee and will be bopping around to events ALL night.
FNO Toronto runs from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm on September 6th.
I love the Say Media blog. They post Venn diagrams about advertising, marketing, and social media every Friday. This week “Great Advertising is Art”.
Some examples they posted today of trendsetters paving the way for awesome advertising at art. You will like the video. Beautiful.
Valfre is one of my fav artists. Her drawings are so good. Her blog is here. One of my favs is in this post.
ART/ADVERTISING? Both. What advertising/art are you creating?
Had a great sushi lunch at Guirei on Queens Quay yesterday. I like it there cause the sushi is super fresh and the rolls are not cut too thick.
Tested out Car2Go at their new Toronto Head office on Bathurst. I’ve never driven a Smart car but I think they’re cute.
Stopped by Brill Communications for the launch of two new beauty products. Micropedi is an electric buffer your feet. I have baby feet now, they are so soft. It retails for $39 which is pretty good considering how much a pedi is and you can reuse this little gadget over and over. Easy to use, portable pedicure.
Was given some samples of Viviscal. It’s a favourite hair booster of in-the-know celebrities that just launched in Canada. It makes your hair healthy, strong, and grow faster. It’s loved by Liv Tyler, Reese Witherspoon, & Local 706, the Hollywood stylists union.
I’m gonna give it a go for the next couple months. My hair is still really short! My fist pony in years. If you can even call that a pony tail!
Working at 1188 Films this morning today then going to Oakville to pick up car for Montreal later.
Have an awesome day!
