Weekend Tune: “Cheers (Drink To That)” by Rihanna

Sometimes we all just need a good pop song. Sometimes a pop song just does the trick. And this dear internet amigos, is one of those songs. RiRi just does it up right. She even samples some Avril Lavigne, and I’m going to be honest – I  am not the biggest Avril fan! But in this song? Yeah, I can dig it.

Can I go on tour? This video makes me wanna go on tour. It just looks like the best kind of fun. Guess I’ll send out some roadie resumes.

In the meantime? Let’s soak up those last bits of summer sun and fun. So cheers to the freakin’ weekend! And I’ll drink to that!

always have a dream that is longer than a lifetime

Thought of you when I saw this Mum.

Orange hearts painted outside Roy Thompson Hall.

Orange tie.

Mel.

Everyone was ringing their bike bells for Jack. I Rang mine heaps too.

I love how he inspired positivity in so many people. Has anyone in Canada had an impact like this before?

I loved the old photos and seeing things people made for him. Few cans of orange crush too.

Drum practice at N.P.Square.

Huge clap when his daughter talked about his fashion sense in the early years. The funeral was beautiful. Music, singing, kind words.

You were awesome Jack Layton. Your spirit will live on in me and so many people. Your funeral was touching. (I balled my eyes out to be honest.) Biked all over with Keri looking at the chalk and reading messages people wrote you. Everyone clapped and sang at your funeral. Tears, smiles and lots of love. You made the world a better place. I will do my best too. Thank you

* title is a Jack quote 🙂

we are all young at art

PLayed dressup in my closet last night and cleaned my room nice.

Last night Barbie & Sean went to the Prom (Fake Prom).

Walked a bit in Christie Pitts after I returned the car yesterday. So pretty.

Thanks Tristan for the car, you legend.

Heading to Roy Thompson right now for the Jack Layton memorial funeral.

There’s a little Sheen in all of us…

This is the commercial I did for Comedy Network Roast of Charlie Sheen. The Roast is Monday, September 19th. My line is “I expose people to magic“, when Charlie said it the full line is “I, I expose people to magic, I expose them to something they’re never going to see in their normal, boring lives“. Ha!

 

I’m ‘officially’ a professional hipster now NBD.

maybe one day they’ll name a hurricane after me?

Patio grass is the best for chilling. Feels cottagey.

All fuzzy photos. Artistic? Sometimes I can’t work this camera.

Working at client office in Mississauga today. Thank you Tristan for letting me hang out with your car today. It’s training for event staff and I wanna be around the action to see & hear people talk about this campaign we’re working on. Lots of writing to do.

Have an awesome day 🙂

 

 

 

you missed this yesterday

shoot for the stars if it feels right and aim for my heart

Our grass is seriously the best thing to happen to condo balconies EVER. If you want to chat my contact at SYNLAWN ask  & I’ll give you his number.

So beautiful out today post rain storm. Last night was a SIGHT to see.

I am in love with this man. I know, I love someone every day but SERIOUSLY, he got the moved like JAGGER!

I really love my work. It’s true what ‘they’ say if you really work at what you love it doesn’t seem like work. My days are longer and I try harder than ever, but I honestly feel so happy about it all. Yesterday’s video shoot at The Gladstone went great. Followed that up with a stop by 1188 Films for a catch-up and to talk Festival (TIFF starts Sept. 8th).

Stopped by The Drake roof for a bite after hair before visiting my babes at Doll Bar Inc to get FEATHERED! So many colours. When my hair grows I want heaps. Move over Natalie Portman, the BLOG SWAN is coming.

We decided against the bright ones for now and went with a more subtle look.

Love them!

Mega nerd 🙂

Arms are getting ripped from biking though.

Have an awesome day!

P.S. Guess what I got in the mail yesterday… A PRESENT FROM FENDI! Aaah! Thank you LV Brands 🙂

The solution already exists.

Full on day yesterday. I love being busy but sometimes I wonder what it’s like to work 9-5pm and leave your work at home. I used to do that a few years ago but how easy you forget.

Got a one year membership to Bixi from my friends at Telus yesterday. Stephen and I met with branding team about our show that launches in less than a month. We’ve got some neat stuff planned with some pretty cool people. The show is called Ay Caramba Career Show and it will air Thursday night’s at 6pm EST starting September 8th. We’ll be talking about chat about careers in emerging industries & trends. To sign up for all the deets go here and we’ll keep you posted. Stephen is pretty funny and I reckon you will enjoy his rhymes and jokes.

Today I’m filming a video with the Gladstone Hotel for the relaunch of the Melody Bar. Stopping by Doll Bar to see my ladies & get some feathers in my hair. Darren is doing my hair at Darren Kwik studio. Both spots are on Queen Street and will give you 10% off your purchase. Go see them! They’ve been taking wonderful care of me. 🙂

Title of this post is very valuable information I learned for my lawyer last night. I’m doing all kinds of new things & emerging industries so I figure best to run them by an expert. He told me to think about that when there is a problem and the solution is already out there, we just have to find it.

Read a bunch of Jack Layton’s tweets last night. Quite sad over his passing. I really liked him. His funeral is Saturday at Roy Thompson Hall. I’m going. There’s petition to have the CN Tower orange for him. I hope Rob Ford says yes. Sign it here.

Check out this fun experiment from Improve Anywhere (love those guys) called Say Something Nice.

Would you speak up and say something nice?

I would for sure. Have an awesome day.

Remember, you’re younger today than you will be tomorrow, make the most of it!
