Today I am so fully excited about life and working on some totally wicked ass shit. On Oct. 29th Ill be at Tequila Bookworm for People Downtown‘s monthly awesome Halloween blood bath. Costumes mandatory. Deets here.
On the 31st, as your Toronto Virgin America Provocateur I’ll be at a secret location for a VERY exclusive and intmate Broken Social Scene Show. It is gonna be off the chains good.
I’m working on the BLOG PARTY OF THE DECADE on November 11th for Raymi the Minx. If you, your company or your agency want to get in on advertising, contributing to swag bags or attending as media, get at me [email protected]. Prime coolness demographic in attendance.
After I checked into my hotel, Doubletree where they have fantastic and fresh cookies ready for you. If you ask at the counter they will give you more. I was starving at the time to I had three then felt bloated and gross.
My room was freezing so I decided to do what I usually do when I first get to my hotel room adn jump on the bed. You must be careful not to hit head on ceiling as you may die. I am a professional as you can see here. (My love for animated gifs has resurfaced as you may have noticed)
Worked up quite a sweat there and decided to get cleaned up and venture downtown. I love being all alone in a new city. Exploring is fun. I would make an ok explorer, I like to snoop around but I like even more when I have a handsome guided escort who knows cool places where locals hang. I rode the BART (SF version of TTC) and got off here in the heart of the action.
I didn’t do much shopping. To be honest, I’m not much of a shopper. I like clothes and stuff but have so many that it’s retarted for me to go buy a heap of things. I like to pick up something special for myself though. My SF souvineer, this badass baby. Don’ mess wit mama cause if I punch you, you will know who hit ‘ya. My tattoo needs to get redone. Blue/orange, so faded.
I did not know they had Westfield Malls in the US. I though they were only in Australia & NZ. Sheesh, I really need to travel more. Stopped in for a snoop around, got bored after 10 minutes.
This GAP is a flagship store. One I alway wanted to visit it since my very first ever job at GAP when I was 16. I loved working there. Maybe when I get old I might go back to work there. It was a fun place and I loved the discount. I wonder if employees still get 50% off? Can anyone confirm this?
Next is was time to hop on that rail car. OOOH look at me, I’m riding Full House style and loving it. Was pretty chilly outside, windy too.
So many long & windy roads make for really fun trolly rides.
I love palm trees. Can we get some of these in Canada please? We’re really missing out. Well, I guess we have the beautiful Fall-colour-changing ones. Those will do.
I took the trolly to Fisherman’s Wharf. Pretty cool place. Look what I ran into… A HUGE MF’N CRAB! The guy made me hold it. I was like “no no I can’t, it’s aliiiiiive” then he grabbed my hand and connected us.
It was huge, the crab. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
I did a few other things but imma save them for another day. Overall, I really liked SF. I’m sure I’ll be back in town again for something in the next couple months. I can use the Virgin America office anytime so I might just ship out there for fun and visit some friends and check off a few destinations from my list.
Hope you are having a wonderful day. I’m going to see Darren this afternoon for a MUCH NEEDED hair cut. I reckon I’m going to shave the sides again and leave the mop top. It’s time for a change. If you need to get your hair done go see him. His studio is right across the street from Trinity Bellwoods park and the number is (416) 361-1016.
Hey y’all! So flying Virgin America is pretty dang sweet. I’ve uploaded a bunch of photos from my ime in SF and I really loved it there. I’ve got a bunch of stuff to check out next trip.
My next VX adventure is December 1st to Dallas, Texas. Pretty excited about that cause I looooove the accent and have a thing for coyboys. We are descending now! Catch you bacn in YYZ!
Just arrived at the Virgin America office. Today is gong to be awesome. Poker Face just came on the radio. Love it.
Yesterday was great. I covered the whole city of San Fran. So many photos and things to share. Big thanks to my boy Rahim aka @funkstop for taking me to heaps of cool places. Y’all have to wait till lata to get the deets.
Hey look, it’s me your fav little blogging munchkin’ baberoo. This is me at SFO airport about 45 mins an hour ago. SFO, it’s quite nice for an airport.
I’m at the hotel now soaking up some free internet before I attenpt to tackle the Golden Gate Bridge and go see the home of Michelle, Steph and DJ Tanner. I meet Virgin America tomorrow so today is all MINE. MINE!

Friday night I had the pleasure of attending the Greta Constantine SS11 show at 161 Spadina. It was a who’s who of Toronto’s fashion. The clothes were beautiful, Coco Rocha walked the stage and I had a blast with friends. Here are some of the hot shots! For photos of the show check out Lynsie’s blog. She was back stage and on the runway getting some totally amazing shots of the collection.
I’m heading to San Francisco tomorrow to meet with Virgin America. I was recently in New Zealand ,as you know, and had a wonderful experience with international people and companies. So, as I was walking today I thought, “maybe I should consider jobs outside of Canada, it seems there is more opportunity for a young lady like myself”.
Then I saw this.
Urgh. Rolls eyes. I get it that it’s meant to draw attention issues about ‘women in power’ or make people pipe up and talk about the brain drain but like, seriously?
I feel like the bunch of “old school people” sat together in a room and decided “this is a great idea”. Meanwhile, as a young person, it makes me think “hey maybe that’s right” and does NOT make me want to join the discussion AT ALL.
To me, this billboard is silly. You get more bee’s with honey. Traditional news can be so annoying, this is a prime example.
you might catch it on cosmopolitanTV some time. catch me on dailybooth or twitter !
i dig the wig, i really do. do you? think i’mma gonna enter cosmotv’s blogger search.
just saw they extended the entry deadline.
what should be my angle. travelling provocateur? yeah baby!
Spent the afternoon horizontal on the couch watching tv, staring out at the airport. Took a break from everything. Working from home = working all the time. I even had a nap, it felt great. My sis came over for little visit. Still have that hurting in my neck. Met some great people at the Greta show last night. Posting about that soon. Time for some ice cream and a new movie haha. Lazy day ILU xo
Up early for a meeting. Have lunch date with Hann, who I have not seen in 8,000,000 years. Meeting couple designers at Toronto Fashion Incubator (TFI) in the afternoon. Attended a fashion event last night with Tarek (designer of my forever loved Nella Bella bags). Night was sponsored by Audi, post about that later. On the run right now posting via WordPress mobile on my Android. Attending the Greta Constantine fashion show tonight. Been looking forward to that one. Still haven’t picked up my pass for Indie Music Week. Gah! I’m actually NOT late this morning. Proud of that. Ok, go tiiiiiime!
Have an awesomerrrrr day!

P.S. Mum, miss you heaps. Glad to know you are safe. When you get internet hope you go back a few days so you can see all the fun. I’m going to San Francisco on Monday till Tuesday to meet the Virgins! Love you xo
