all dolled up and somewhere to go
Took Kate to meet my girls at Doll Bar Inc today. I wanted to get her some flowers. Plucked mine last night Black Swan style. Lucky for me, they just got a sample of in this rad hot pink Kevin Murphy hair makeup an hour before we showed up. Washes out when you shampoo and goes on like paint. I’ll be rockin’ it tonight at Strombo’s TIFF party at the Hazelton.
Funky haircut is done by Darren Kwik Studio inspired by Zambesi New Zealand.

Tonya Lee Williams aka Dr. Olivia B. Winters from Young & the Restless. Watching the Y&R right now 🙂

Weekend Tune: “Love Is a Dirty Word” by Jason Collett
Attention Torontonians who like good music and good times! Tonight Jason Collett and Zeus are playing a free show at Yonge and Dundas Square! The show kicks off around 8pm, so all you festival folk will still be able to TIFF it up after! Oh so perfect yes? Now let’s get to the music video…
I’m so excited you guys! Jason Collett is so dreamy. This one time I was having brunch at Aunties and Uncles, and HE WAS ALSO THERE! I could barely focus on my bacon-y breakfast sandwich. Truth.
Also? Zeus! Did you spot them jamming out in the background? Did you know that they’re Jason Collett’s backing band? Have you heard their amazing Genesis cover? Have I mentioned how excited I am already?
I’m so excited. Happy weekend everyone!
Enjoy!

Lots of cameras made into art. Liked these ones.
Have another roll in development right now. Planning to shoot Monday’s Diet Coke party with B&W film with the Sprocket Rocket. I am imagining beautiful artistic photos, please join me in that thought. It’s like, hard to take analogue photos man. Digital kid vs Analogue lifestyle for the win. Thanks for the invite 🙂

We be kicking off with a TIFF related theme for each segment.
Casie Study – We chat with Gordon Vasquez of realTVfilms.com who is in town from LA to shoot interviews and Jeff Musson of the Dynamite Network. Jeff and Gordon partnered during SXSW and are partnering again on a TIFF mobile app. We chat about their businesses and their TIFF partnership. Who knows who might pop in…..
Demo Camp – How do you #shakethat? Not that …lol… Handshakes! That’s the first impression someone gets when they meet you. And it’s key to play @ TIFF. We’ll show you how to #shakethat without #ruiningthat celeb jeb, interview, business meeting or date.
Check In – Tell us what celeb you’ve met during TIFF or any film fest.

Toronto International Film Fest: Tastemakers Lounge
When celebrities come to town for TIFF they get invited to lounges to see & receive new & exciting products. Media get invites too. It’s a way for companies to get their products in the hands of stars and journalists. The Tastemakers Lounge is hosted by RockIt and they do an excellent job of bringing together brands & people. I took my PA Kate for the experience it and too take photos.
New glasses from FYSH. Thanks Team!
I picked out new glasses from FYSH NATION last year too. This is me rockin’ them w/ Morgan Ross at Strombo’s TIFF party.
Next it was time to pick out bracelets and charms from PANDORA.
Kate took home a few goodies too.
Kate chose macrame black leather and I picked sterling silver. See all the styles here.
I chose a wee little birdy. Twitter <3
Planning to have some serious game nights this winter cause Mattel has hooked me up with rad games. I picked up and ANGRY BIRDS sling shot! REAL ANGRY BIRDS! I played it at their Mattel Game Night over the summer. It’s fun.
Was given this gorgeous silk eyemask from Cilque and OH MY GOD I slept with it last night. My eyes were in the clouds and I had an amazing sleep. I’m dying for a set of Cilque sheets and robe to match.
Made friends with team Sharpie. I carry Sharpie’s with me all the time and had one in my purse to proove it.
Then Kate and I raided the drawers. Got limited edition 80’s glam colours too!
Told the team how I always start out with Sharpie for tattoo ideas. I drew this bracelet tatt on my left arm on with two different green Sharpie’s for about three years before I got it. If you draw something cool you can upload it to the Sharpie site here.
Got this styling yellow hat from Nathaniel Cole. I paired it with a lumberjack black & red and those boots I got yesterday, Canadian Tuxedo ready to rock. It’s soft & warm and as a hat lover, can’t wait to bring this baby out.
Always a pleasure to see the team at RockIt. Thank you for inviting me 🙂
