wake me up when (my) september (dream) ends

This September kicks off a bright start the the next few months. I’ve got a full calendar until Christmas!  After that, I’m thinking about a vacation but who knows where I will be  by that time.  I only ever imagine I would be where I am right now.

Look up at the sky, be thankfull.

The beauty of working for myself is that as long as I keep living and have internet access, I’m working. I promise myself to make the most of each day, set high goals and document it.

September is a ver exciting time in Toronto as we host the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). I’ve not gotten an movie tickets and I need to get on that. I’ve been invited to some pretty neat stuff in Yorville during the day throughout the festival. Wasn’t able to attend before cause I was working for THE MAN, now, going to that stuff is my JOB! I am THE MAN.

The next three months go like this (GenYTO & TweetgasmTO are in there for both Sept. & Oct. somewhere too)…

Sept. 9-17: Toronto International Film Fest

Sept. 18-28: New Zealand Fashion Week

Sept. 30: TEXxTO Conference

Sept. 30-Oct 3: Boston Friends visit TO

Oct.4: Contract with TrendHunter (3 Months Oct-Dec)

Working on something else cool for October that I will share next week. So many thing on the go that Google Calendar & Tasks are my new BFF.  I am so excited about things happening my head might explode.

Please thing responsibly today, your thoughts become things!

CIAO darlings xo

P.S. VOTE FOR CASIE! I have till 7pm to STEAL THAT LEAD.

Jamming to this right now.

yesterday on twitter, this happened:

i took it out. it just wasn’t me. too all up in ma face.

Going to get it was really fun.  It hurt and I liked it. The people at Blackline Studio were cool and professional. It was a fun little Saturday afternoon adventure to poke a hole in my body. I realise I’m just not that into it anymore.  There is a super cute girl who help my hand when I got it done and the boy who pierced me was cute too. I wanted  a septum piercing for a while but once I had it, it took away from all the cuteness that makes me me. I really like that cuteness. I used to have a bunch of piercings, took then out in Australia cause I didn’t like the way they rubbed my surf board. I had two massively painful ones in my ears one called a rook (through thick cartilage) and one called an industrial (long bar that goes through twice). They were really painful. I mostly got them to deal with some type of pain in my heart or loss. Somehow, poking that hole and going through the healing process, made the heart ache a little less painful. I am so deep.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, we’re back.

A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE.

You can vote the others down too 😉

it’s gonna get even hotter as the day progresses

I have sprinklers! Wanna come play? Guess what. Video making Casie is back in action.

I’m about to make this wee pants jumper into a shorts onesie with my sewing maching. Zoey Ng time. It’s DANG HOT out today. Shorts onesie is totes necessary. I have heaps of energy today, like, more than normal. I reckon the heaps of sleep I got this weekend helped me right out.

The Toronto Mayoral race is annoying to me, watching them dog on each other. Urgh. Just about as annoying as all the times I’ve asked you to vote for the Virgin Provocateur contest. That’s kinda like mayor too, Mayor of F-U-N! 🙂

I hope it thunderstorms today. Summer rain dancing!
Stay cool kittens xo

yesterday on twitter, this happened:

When you’re lonely, I’ll be lonely too.

And this is The Fame.

I read a really good article by Alexandra Samuel called “Lady Gaga and the transcendent narcissism of social media“. I love her. You know that. She inspires me so much. I stuck to plan and cleaned rearranced my whole room. It’s lovely outside and I could go to the pool but I am to antsy to relax. I wanna do stuff. Once my room is cleaned I can pull out the sketch book and get on the projects. I love being creative and having designs that no one else has, it makes me feel totally unique. I’ve also been looking at machine embroidery designs and seeing how I can create some of my own designs to put onto clothes I already have to personalise them. Being crafty is great.

I would love to wear some Canadian designers when I go to New Zealand for FW. I’m not about to go out and buy a heap but if someone out there is it interested email me. Otherwise, I’ll be decked in my own line.

I was putting myself through Uni when I lived in Australia so I didn’t have much money. I needed to work in order to make it through the end of the year. I got called Cas and my BFF there was Cheryl aka Shazza. I made a clothing brand called Cas&Shazz. It looked kinda like this CAS+SHAZZ. I wrote it on couple shirts and made it on this neat sweater. I wanted a logo you could recoginize from far away, like Nike. My idea was ‘an ass you can recognize’.

I used to write CASIE on stuff all the time. I remember meeting lots of cool people that made clothes too. I ‘ve always have had a thing for that. This seems so long ago, when I really think about it. The time went by really fast but it was like six years. Wow. Where will the next six years be? Where will I be in one year, six months? Who knows. Who knows.

I’ve been waiting for a Winter with my own sewing machine for years. This year, I have one. Mum got me Zoey for my birthday in May. Mum also let me have heaps of stuff from the basement, patterns, vintage lace and stuff. I can’t wait. One of the greatest things Mum ever taugh me is “Just because you don’t have money, doesn’t mean you can’t compete. You just have to be more creative.” Smart cookie she is that one. THANK YOU MUM!

Today I am feeling…

When I look back in time on my artsy blog I feel the need to create. I want to make things. Creative Case, that was never my nick name but I like it.

I just made rice crispie squares and I have work to do.

BYE BYE BYE! (NSYNC singing)

i’m falling for you.

Love the seasons changing. I promise myself I will clean up my room on Sunday. It is honestly one big closet with a bed in it. Thinking the next place I live will need to be a 2 bdrm, preferably an old house with big rooms. Been thinking about moving out of the core-hardcore deep downtown. Meh, I’ll probably change my mind again like tomorrow. I love the view here. Holy nut case eh. bahaaa.

Reilly took this last night. I like it.

Finally chatted with Mum today. She’s sailing to Bahamas with her BF on their 40 ft sail boat. Begged her to send some photos already. They are in New Brunswick at the moment. Today they sailed 10 hours and went through a lobster fishing area. Mum said it was nuts.

She is going to freak when she see’s this. Don’t worry, the piercing comes out. My eyes wattered like CRAY when he put that needle in. Don’t know how long i’ll keep the piercing it but it looks pretty cute.

This is pretty crazy too. Dude landed the first double back flip in a wheelchair ever!! Mad skills. Watching his couple attempts before he gets it were insane. Balls that guy. WHOA.

Don’t try this at home ok. You could really hurt ya damn self!

Really getting excited for NZ Fashion Week. Been checking out designers and NZ bloggers on NZTV. It’s one of my cuzzie’s birthday and imma get to hang with her. We’ve only ever met a couple times so pretty stoked. Probs gonna see Nana too. SO EXCITED.

Weeeeeeeeeee! Sunday funday!

in the still of the night

Attended Lexus Live in the Distillery last night with my lovely date Jessica Gardener. Big thanks to Notable TV and Rock-It Promotions for a great event.  I was full on in a nana sweater. I thought it woud be colder. Ended up having to remove tights later in the night, I was clearly over dressed for the weather.

This is the new car from Lexus, the CT 200h. Pretty nice, roomy, has mouse in it to control the dashboard screen thingy. I’m not in the market for a new car anytime soon (never owned a car) but this I would drive. It looks kinda Audi-ish.

You can easily fit two in the trunk.

Lexus hired a heap of photographers, it felt like everywhere I turned they were snappin. I wonder if they knew who I was because it felt like they took 800 photos of me. I can only imagine how many people take when you’re crazy famous. I didn’t really mind. I’d really wouldn’t mind if Lexus put me in a commercial or something. hint hint.

The Stills were pretty good. I’d never heard them before. The drummer was a total babe and the bass player smoked during the show and then put his cig out on stage. THAT, is badass.

There were two ‘just married’ couples in the area and one of them popped into the VIP for some  front row access. Their photog took some great shots and April and I totally photo bombed a heap of them. I hope you like your wedding photos guys!

Lots of people were there, the who’s who of Toronto’s media and social you could say. Check out these fine ladies Hawley Dunbar (Sidewalk Hustle) & Charise Garcia (Lucky Penny Daily).

Thanks to Julian Brass (below) and Notable TV for the invite and VIP treatment. If you wanna know more about what & where Notable TV is next visit their site.

Happy Weekend 🙂

when something is the most real, it is the realest.
