Weekend! Weekend! Yay! Weekend!
For this week’s weekend tune I’ve pulled out a favourite recent hit of mine. Katy B’s “Katy On A Mission” came out last summer and became a huge UK hit. One year later and I still think it’s a great jam. Perfect for a Saturday night getting ready to go out.
Enjoy!

I would say good morning but as I write this it’s already the late afternoon. What can I say? I’m still recovering from last night’s awesomeness. The Canadian Club Speakeasy was an old timey shindig if there ever was! Who doesn’t love dressing up all flapper-esque and pretending to be in Boardwalk Empire?! Here’s some photos I snapped of everyone dolled-up and a ditty for you to listen along to!
This car was outside and begging to be posed with.
The bartenders were all dapper and pulled out some tricks as they mixed the Canadian Club cocktails. They were all Boardwalk Empire themed too. The hit of the night seemed to be the Nucky!
Casie and I couldn’t help but have a mini photo shoot. The location was just so cool looking!
This 1920s girl is always working!
How handsome! It’s no surprise that Jason won best dressed! Although he did have some stiff competition…
This Barbie is so classy!
Sam and Ross all suited up! Can the men of the world just agree to dress like this all the time please? All of you guys just have a meeting and discuss it at least? Cool thanks.
Well that’s all for now! Thanks so much to Canadian Club and HBO for putting on the ritz and feeding us tasty drinks! Now excuse me while I get back to my recovery and giant bottle of water. Maybe I’ll lazy about on the couch and watch something. Can you guess what?

My friend James who runs @RebelBingo tells a story about him being a conservation hero in Zimbabue. I watched it just now and reckon you might enjoy it on this lovely Friday afternoon. Well done James.
Heard this song last night at the opening of Little Burgundy in Style Exchange and loved it.
There were heaps of awesome peeps I’d not seen in a while, friends from MuchMTV and socialites. Pix are all from O’Nizzle’s Twitpic. Thanks for Style Exchange for the gift cards. I’ll be sure to use them before my trip next week. Yippeee!
I’ve been to many festivals but one of my favourites was EinsteinFest in 2005 at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. (Say that five times fast.) I was thinking about that day today, my sister and I were volunteered with a bunch of other kids. The Institute is located in Waterloo not too far from Cambridge where I grew up. I’ve been an Einstein lover for ages. Some of my favourite things are his quotes (one of which is the title of this post). Ahh memories.
One where you are walking down the street and you realize that what you are doing is exactly what you should be doing and you know you can help people and change the world and you have purpose and you are doing things that matter despite what anyone says, because you are going places and you are connecting with people and doing what you love and you are not ‘just’ an average person, you are being yourself and you are really good at it and you are spreading love and light throughout the world and it is totally awesome.
Yeah that. I kinda had one of those last night.

Friday Kate & I attended the Women for Women’s luncheon in support of Women’s College Hospital. It was hosted by Jeanie Beker and there were over 800 women there. My sister was in Women’s College Hospital a couple years ago. WCH is a world leader in women’s health and they do research to improve women’s lives (some male patients too).
Thank you kindly for the invte and I look forward to the next lunch Spring 2012. For info about the brand new Women’s College Hospital building and the great things they have going on go here.
