I loved seeing the human side of these people. It was inspiring.
Attending the show was great. I know George socially but I’ve never actually been to a live taping. This was the final show of his 8th season. Yesterday was a special friends & family presentation with the cast of Cosmopolis before they walked the red carpet at the Canadian première.
I should have taken a pen & paper because I forgot I wasn’t allowed to use my phone. NOTE TO SELF.
These actors made me think about myself, my career, my life. It’s really quite magnificent to be in the same room and hear them candidly speak about their lives, insecurities, and work. All photos by JJ Thompson. Thanks to the lovely Erin & CBC for sending right away.
He was watching a clip of himself from a movie with Reese Witherspoon where he played a very small part. Despite making millions, five twilight movies and dating K.Stew (who is on the cover of Vanity Fair July 2012), he’s lacks confidence, security. He was modest and slightly soft spoken.
He said he avoids the media because he doesn’t really know what to say and he isn’t that smart anyways. I imagined him to be more, more strong. He was undoubtly charming and his accent had my eyes light up with hearts like an old Loony Toons character. Tempted to rush the stage, I held back. Safe to saw, I was swooning.
The way Rob sat in his chair vs. David Cronenberg showed a lot about their characters. Cronenberg, a seasoned and incredible film maker, sat back in his chair, open body language, head held high while R.Patts was the opposite.
George asked David Cronenberg if anyone ever tells him “it should be done this way” or “do it like this”, he paused before answering and said “it’s been a long time before anyone told me what to do”.
Double swoon. The confidence he has in his work and artistic ability to create is insanely motivating and attractive, professionally.
Being weird is something I’ve really come to embrace and so has Paul Giamatti. Growing up I always had this artistic ability I couldn’t fight that lead me to be different, blaze trails and have ‘interesting’ fashion sense.
Giamatti is an excellent actor and I was surprised to hear him talk about having anxiety. He defined himself as being a bit weird and enjoys playing random characters that show up in movies playing a poignant role. Before shooting with Cronenberg & Pattinson he had some anxiety but is seems it’s a normal thing for him, any many actors to face when on a big project. You forget that the characters in moves are real people. Well, I do.
You will have a good chuckle hearing Giamatti talk about giving the US president a swift kick in the ass.
The special episode of GEORGE STROUMBOULOPOULOS TONIGHT will air on CBC on Thursday, June 7 at 11:05 p.m. (11:35 p.m. NT).
Be yourself, nobody will ever be a better you, than you.
Heyyyyy it’s Monday! Up early as today we start filming for CoralTV. My show is called THIS: The Hot Internet Show and it`s gonna be a mix of fashion, travel, lifestyle with a tech twist. You know how important technology is to my daily life, I`m practically a walking wifi with iPhone attached. So from ‘This is My Life’ on the blog for seven years to THIS on YouTube. I hope you’ll all tune in. It’s gonna be fun.
These photos are from Bloke & 4th with Lauren last week. It’s so nice to have a best friend. We had an awesome dance party at the Future of Art & Music event this weekend (FOAM).
This afernoon I’m heading to CBC for an in-studio exclusive, interview by Strombo with David Cronenberg, Robert Pattinson, Sarah Gadon and Paul Giamatti, to discuss their provocative new film, Cosmopolis.
Move over K.Stew, seeing your bf R.Patts at @Strombo tomorrow. C.Stew FTW! Nbd.

I always try to get the most work done on Monday’s in order to start the week off right. Get yourself a big coffee, put a smile on your face and listen to some good music. You always have to choice to make the most of the day or to let something/someone else determine your happiness.
Take charge. You are the director of your life.
This video is pretty funny! “When I walk in the barn, this is what I see” Jiggle part cracked me up.
“So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I’m still trying to figure out how that could be.”
Excited for the Perks of Being a Walflower movie. Trailer came out last night during the MTV Awards. If you are in Canada you can not see this trailer but you can watch at mtv.ca. I have never understood why MTV Canada does not let you embed their videos. Lame guys!
‘
Song frm the trailer. So good. “I’m never changing who I am“. Lead singer is potential boyfriend Dan Reynolds, dreamboat.
And I love her.
And you.
I publish a lot of things on the Internet. I’ve been told is it’s hard to keep up with’.
To me it is art. I have an obsessive compulsive obsession to make/build art/things/memories. Documentation is addicting. I’ve had days without Internet, I start scratching, yelling, freaking out, no just kidding, I do get antsy around 4pm. It happens more in weekends, sometimes I don’t feel like it then I miss it.
My favorite social media sites right now are Instagram, Pinterest, Viddy and I use Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare to share them.
Yellow and red were hot colours on my Instagram and Pinterest
A Viddy I posted of a wizard guy with a fushingi ball was on the ‘whats’s hot page’. I used to go CRAZY using 12seconds.tv years ago, similar thing but not as awesome. Viddy is like Instagram for videos! It has filters, music, and a 15 second time clock. My profile is viddy/casiestewart. It’s intrgrated with Facebook timeline if you have’t noticed.
I really love the DIY projects from Honestly WTF. I pinned this gorgeous Louis Vuitton studded collar from the 2012 Cruise Collection and a couple weeks ago I (started) one just like it. Mine’s not ready to come out yet.
Weather is gloomy. About to do some work around the house and vaguely movies, currently on something about British school girls in boarding school on Cosmo. The sun came out for a few seconds, captured its soul. If you are still in the dark ages with an old phone you can browse any user’s Instaphotos in Statigram.
Barbie made brekky. Beauty!
Cleaning up my office today was so good. I’m BACK! Made sewing corner and set up my sewing machine. I call her Zoey and its really about time we spent some time together. I have some patterns I’vebeen dying to make and this is the perfect time. There are so many simple things in style I could make and heaps of DIYs on the web.
Note on paper says this probably was written a year ago, fitting for today. Title of post was scribbled on the paper too. I don’t know the significance. I have a bad memory.
It’s cold outside,
Wanna stay warm,
Wind whipping my windows,
Winding my thoughts,
Whirl wind, words spin
I always wrap things around my head. I like my head covered. I like the way it feels. Thinking about wearing a gorgeous vintage silk turban tonight.
This is one of my old favourite quotes by the best Dr. around.This almost blank notepad was uncovered when I excavated office junk mountain. It’s amazing the treasures you find cleaning!
Must get ready & find something to wear tonight. Lauren and I are going to the Future of Art & Music warehouse party, ‘FOAM. It’s at Brickworks and there are all kinds of art, music, food & beverage things going on. Lozzie Pops did her first segment on the news for CBC today. I woke up early to catch her. So cute. Fav person on Canadian TV.
I love when it rains. Joe Fresh denim shirt dress, Hunter wellies, Gap kids rubber jacket, Toronto Star cartoon brolly. Sadly, my brolly caught a bad case of wind on the way to the conference and he is no longer with us.
Made it to Women in Business conference, found power supply. The guy on stage just used a word I don’t know, can someone explain ‘rolodex?’
See what I did here? We start filming Monday. I’m really excited. Been waiting for THIS for my whole life.
You know how I always tell you to be positive and make the most of each day? Well, I really freaking mean it. The only way to attract good and wonderful things into your life is to put it out there. Like attracts like, the power of attraction is about particles of matter.
Had a great sister date yesterday, look at these babes. LOVE YOU GIRLS.
Thank you Bobby for this kind Tweet one day we will meet. Brands, listen up!
“One of the best “brands” on social media is @casiestewart … she has leveraged numerous outlets to build a tremendous business & brand! #ff”

Title is a quote by James Matthew Barrie quotes, Scottish Dramatist and Novelist who is best known as the creator of Peter Pan. Cheers to Tink, the original pixie fairy girl.
Have a busy day today starting with the 2012 Women in Biz conference. I’m an invited guest of General Motors Canada. Thank you! In the afternoon I’m heading to the 3F store for a PR appointment to do some styling.
Every time I go into 3F I’m so glad to be part of the team. There was a heap of new items in bright colours. I picked up these BRIGHT yellow high waisted skinny jeans along with a black vest. Jeans fit great, actually went down a size!
I love the fabrics and the softness of everything. Since the parent company specializes in textiles for high end brands, they’re all good quality. Bell bottom blue jean, baby.
Picking a contest winner to receive a $100 store gift card. Deets here.
Hoping to talk cars with GM at the conference today and see about taking one of these camaros for a couple days. I love the old ones and I bet Dad would be wrapped if I showed up in one of these!
Walked down Yonge Street like a tourist yesterday. It was lovely. Everything changes so much it’s nice to walk around and stare at everything with new eyes.
Yonge Dundas Square is always full of things happening. This guy had some pretty magical skills with a crystal ball. Watch. It’s only 15 seconds. I’m convinced he plays a Wizard on the weekends.
Mum still has my copy packed away at home. I loved this book. I still do.
If you see a big sunshine coming down the street, it’s just me smiling. 😉
