Look close 😉
Was soooooo nice out today. Like SUMMER!!
Blonde in the hat was a hottie.
Is it butterfly season? Seen heaps today.
Sammy is #18. Last time I had a number was in a pageant and I was #18 too.
His team didn’t win 🙁
But… tonight we party! 🙂
High Park Devils lost to Etobicoke something massive like 68-17. Sorry boys.
The boys will be at South of Temperance tonight if you wanna console them for their loss.
Today I braved the rainy rain and marched down to Yonge and Dundas Square for The Body Shop and Virgin Mobile’s Greatest Make-up Event Ever. Celebrity Make-Up Artist, Chase Aston did a little demo and talked about the new Body Shop “Extra Virgin” products. They’re “Extra Virgin” because they contain fair-trade extra virgin olive oil. Cool right?
Here’s Chase Aston and his pretty make-up models. After the demo Chase even gave me a mini make-over! Guess how I felt?
I love me some mineral powder.
So many pretty shades.
There was rows upon rows of make-up artists giving some Virgin members make-overs. So much fun!
Look at my goodies and fancy name tag. Thanks Body Shop Canada and Virgin Mobile Canada. I can’t wait to try all this out!

Went sailing on Lake Ontario yesterday with a friend. It was great. Felt like a mini-vacation.
Meet Bandit.
I love this city, so damn pretty.
Cue Mickey Avalon, So Rich, So Pretty.
I can only imagine how lovely it was for Mum on her sailing trip. I absolutely love, love, love sailing.
Nothing like being on the water.
It was just windy enough to get a little speed.
This one reminds me of you Mum.
Blogged most of this from a taxi on my Macbook Air using Telus mobile 3G wifi en route to the Telus Centre for TEDxToronto. WHOA. THE FUTURE is friendly!!
This is a screenshot of the new HTC campaign you might see on sports, entertainment & lifestyle sites across Canada.
Thing is, you might see it, you might not, I might not. If you do, could you pretty please screen cap and send to me or link in the comments. I will send you something very secial in the mail (snail) if you do.
Thank you & Happy Friday. More updates later today rushing out the door to TedXToronto right now. Catch the live stream bat live.tedxtoronto.com. 🙂
Thanks Jonny Bunning for this!
Tonight O’Nizzle and I are hosting a show with some astronomers for SPACE. Pretty stoked. Not too sure what we’re gonna be doing but I’m into it. Plus, we have to go to Hamilton! Mega adventure!
Last night I went to a party hosted by GOOGLE and The Rapture played. It was pretty rad. Lots of nerdy babes. Heaps of business people. Was totally surprised none of the ‘social media’ peeps were there. Met some rad peeps.
Tomorrow is TEDxToronto and I’m attending in person as a delegate. Really looking forward to being inspired and seeing/meeting other delegates. Check out this speaker vid by The Biz Media featuring someone you’ve seen here before, Mr. David Miller:
Saw this on a walk yesterday… the balance of marriage? What are we saying here, wife, kids, party girl taking you out on the town? Hmmm.
Watching the Facebook F8 Keynote right now. Are you watching it? It’s kinda crazy how Facebook wants us to feellike it is our ‘home’ for all our online stuff. I’m all for sharing but it kinda freaks me out. They’re releasing ‘Timeline’ so we can create & cultivate the stories of our lives. Watch it here if you’re into it. Zuckerberg is a strange guy I bet. The new FB allows you to add a big photo at the top of your page kinda like a blog. Very blog like actually. Get ready for backlash!!
On Saturday Sammy’s footy team, the High Park Demons, are playing the OAFL finals and I’m wondering if you wanna come? Check out the team! Babes.
They’re also having an afterparty at South of Temperance Saturday night and you’re welcome to come celebrate (or console) the boys after a long day of good ol’ Australian Rules Football. Deets on FB right here!
LMK if you wanna join the fun! 🙂
On October 2nd I’m hosting a film screening for Measuring Tape Girl at the National Film Board of Canada. Screening is limited to 60 people and the RSVP details are below.
The film is produced by an old friend Byron Martin whom I worked with a few years back on American Pie. (I’ve been in a few movies over the years, was on Degrassi TNG once too.) This is the director Marco Veltri at Cannes earlier this year. Nice measuring tape jacket 😉
The film is about “society’s willingness to pour their hearts and bare their souls through a digital medium“. It’s an examination of self-image, alienation, and indecisiveness the average person is faced with today. The lead, Jessica Embro, is a video blogger.
For the record, I did not call myself a rockstar or “influential Canadian Blogger” but I am humbled by the kind works. Thank you to Vocab Communications for asking me to be their host. Looking forward to the screening & media surrounding the film.
Yay, films about blogging. I’M JULIA CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLD!!! (That was for Keri and if you have never seen the blogging movie ‘Julie & Julia’ you might not get it.)
Have an awesome day!
This was the title track in Ryan Gosling’s movie DRIVE that premiered at TIFF last week. I saw it last night. GREAT MOVIE. There was lots of silence, suspense, Ryan Gosling is a dreamboat. It’s crime thriller with violence that was shocking, I wasn’t expecting it.
He is tough but caring, sensitive and strong and in one scene he pushes her aside in the elevator, kisses her and (not telling the rest). I have a soft spot for a guy who can fix a car and drive it well and isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. He also wears a toothpick so well.
I’m in love like The Notebook, all over again. I’d watch it again if you wanna go.
I bought the entire album on iTunes just now. Here’s a sample. Have an awesome day! 🙂
