Tonight I’m going to Gaga with my sister. I’m trying not to get too excited because I have heaps of work to get done before I let it sink in. I had great Indian food for lunch. I feel happy. Remember I told you how I made friends with Ricky Tillo who plays guitar for Lady Gaga. This is him with her last night:
Oh god. I can’t WAIT. ZOMG LADY GAGA. ZOMG LADY GAGA. I might die.
Dear Foursquare,
I’ve gotta gett his off my chest, so here it is…
I’ve been having mixed feelings about our replationship recently. I’ve started feeling a bit crowded. I need some space. I don’t want everyone knowing where I am all the time. You know how much I love you and I really like what you do.
It’s not you, it’s me. 
I don’t wanna break up, I just need some space. I want the mystery back in our relationship. I want things more like they used to be.
We have so many great memories and you’re always bringing me closer to my friends (Twestival, Foursqaure Day, Earthquake/Superswarm, Karaoke, NXNE). I still want more of that.
It’s the little things, the little checkins all the time here and there, it’s getting to be too much. I’m taking back the pants.
Please no hard feelings. Remember when I made that awesome shirt for your birthday?
I’ll checkin at work tomorrow. Love you.

Mum is coming today and I’m really excited to see her. I’m really excited for Lady Gaga tonight too. Currently watching the Hooters Bikini pageant, it’s hot/awesome. Have you ever seen the Hooters outfit on me? It was 2005, I looked different, heavier. I never worked there, but I was close once, in my younger days. I won a pageant and bikini contest back then too. Ha.
Thanks for the votes in the Virgin contest. I’m in the lead, lets keep it that way. I think the other six are under the impression it’s a job.(Yes, only six entries!)
It’s just like winning an online pageant, you get to carry the title of Toronto Provocateur for the year and you have perks/duties. You get to be the party planner and 12 free trips, I have room for that in my life. I do. I would LOVE some free trips… I dream about all the people I could visit, conferences I can attend and things to explore. I’d also REALLY like to be able to leverage the stellar community we’ve got for GenyTO and do some really great/cool/fun things. I’m darn sure that’s a win-win for everyone.
We’re having GenyTO on July 27th. You saw how fun the game was I went to recently. Did you know that out of the whole group, I had only ever met two of those people in real life? And one is Jon fron the TFC. Tickets are $40, the special code to purchase is ‘genyto‘ and you can get tickets here. All the other important info is right here. I would love to see you there!
Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah! Roma-Roma-ma-ah!
Ga-ga-ooh-la-la! Want your RAD romance ♥
Saw this on Seven Dollar Pants and it needed to be shared.
Last night was epic. EPIC. Such an awesome time with the girls. I love Emily Haines so hard, we all do. It was me, Jenie, Michelle, Grace and Jess (we are all on the twitter).
Hanging out with my sister is the most fun. We are so positive, happy & energetic together, I get super charged. Look out.
Ain’t nothin’ gonna break my stride, nobody’s gonna slow me down, oh-no, I got to keep on moving.
I have so many great photos from the night. Heaps. The sun setting over the water and the pink sky were the perfect back drop to the music and atmosphere.
The place was packed but we hardly noticed anyone else because we were laughing and having so much fun. One dude tried to make friends with us, but we were not having it, he was Snooki’s type. We also saw a couple guidos who really loved Emily and knew the lyrics to every song.
All our seats were scattered in different sections but we didn’t go to them once. Instead, we parked our camp on the lawn and danced and sang and threw our arms in the air and screamed. The lawn is really the best place to be. You can relax and lean back or dance in circles.
I love that feeling, the one when you hear the music live and the lights shine on the crowd and they reach out and touch your face and you scream. It melts my popsicle.
Michelle = babe. She has a fashion blog and she’s got the wicked style. My phone desktop image matches her leopard onesie, that’s why she is posing with phone.
Jenie is too cute. Heart melt sandwich.
Ater we went to the afterparty @ Parts + Labour for a private Holy Fuck show. It was hipster heaven, like everyone died & went to American Apparel.
Today I’m sailing to the island with Michael. It’s just to beautiful to not make to most of the day. Y’know? You shoud do something awesome today too. Then tell me about it. We can share awesomes.
LOVE YOU.
One more thing, made a new friend last night, you might know him as the guy who hates Aussies on Flight of the Conchords or host of the 2010 MTV Movie Award, Aziz Ansari. He has tumblr & twitter too.
Christine from Seven Dollar Pants & Michelle, serious fashion blogging happening behind the scenes here. Aziz is shocked at the sheer beauty!
Tonight is the Toronto stop of the Vans Warped Tour and this Lady Blogga has called upon a little monster to report from the ground.
I’ve partnered with Warped Tour to give Mike Albertini two tickets, media access and back stage passes to get the dirt and have a hella good time in my place. It’s summer and I’m crazy busy so I though I’d share the fun so we don’t miss out on any of the action. Have any questions for him or tasks? Tweet him here and tell him I sent you!
Did I mention I’m hiring an intern? If you are interested or woudl like to recommend someone. Email me.
HAPPY FRIDAY ♥
I got this email the other day and it really made me happy. I though I’d share with you because every once in a while, someone writes me something and I really really admire and love it. It’s a crazy thing the internet and how we connect with people these days. I feel so happy when someone says I’ve touched their life in some special way.
Don’t every be shy to email me. I read everything and I reply.
Have an awesome day. Don’t let the heat bother you, remember just how cold it gets in winter! brrr. Soak up the sunshine baby! I’ll be at Tequila Sunrise for #loserkaraoke tonight. If you’re around come on by & say helloooooo!
The email:
Casie,
I’ve been following your blog and work now for months and as of late it has been resonating with me on so many different levels. I wanted to say thank-you for being so open to putting your thoughts and ideas and life out there through your work. It is truly inspiring and something I aspire to do through my own work.
I’ve been contemplating a trip to Australia over the past couple days, going back and forth between putting down a payment or not, and then tonight I went to your blog and saw that you posted something about your time in Sydney. It was almost like a sign, this wasn’t the only time this has happened to me with things you post, but is the most recent and really struck a chord with me. Needless to say, I’m booking the trip.
I admire a lot of your work, from the blog to Much and MTV, and the many other adventures and endeavors you take on. Just wanted to let you know, thank-you for being so open and honest and doing what you do – and doing it well!
this post is regarding the influence project: the search for the most influential person online
i feel like, if i participate in ‘everything’ that shows my ‘influence’ it devalues when i post good content. everything is becoming about your so called ‘influence’ and i hate pushing links on people all the time. what do i get if i put my name in this? my picture in a magazine. meh, been there done that a few times. so, it doesn’t really seem worth it? who really gains? they do.
where are the perks for making people click on something that does nothing for them. i like to give people value, that’s where my influence comes from. i hope someone cool gets this thingy but it surely won’t be me. as for the Virgin thing, that will provide heaps of value back to everyone who votes for me. i will be an ambassador, organize parties and create fun memories for people all over the place. all this talk about influence, makes me think it’s more about VALUE. y’know what i’m sayin?
another thing, the site is all built in flash and really slow too. i’m more than happy to not try for this one. i’m sure we will all be seeing more and more of this user generated ‘meme’ stuff floating around (ex. donttellashton.com). i only wanna take part in things that give back, things that have value for everyone not just for myself. it’s pretty much the same reason I don’t put ads on my site, i don’t want you to think i’m banking off you visiting, i like to think i make you smile, and maybe i even inspire you.
i do the internet stuff because i love it. it started out as a way to keep more memories and it’s evolved in to many things, but i’m not about to start using it for anything but good.
Feeling super happy today. Excellent morning to start a wonderful day. I love summer and the heat. Looking forward to a few days of rain too. Make the most of today, it’s the only July 7th 2010 you will ever have! lolz but true 🙂
I used to live at Bondi Beach. I loved it there. I wanna go back one day. Lead a simple life, a beach babe, not be so busy all the time. One day. I wrote this poem walking along this very beach one day at 7am. I had to take it by memory, it was one of the few times I didn’t have a pencil/paper. It was also before the smartphone revolution. To me at least! It’s my favorite one I ever wrote:
As the waves crashed on the shore,
The wind washed them away.
And as I walked along the sand,
I felt I could not stray.
For I was walking towards the sun,
And it was a brand new day.

Thanks heaps to Jeremy for inviting us to come play at The Gladstone Hotel on Friday night. He’s the Creative Director there and deff knows how to party. We ended up doing karaoke later on (bug surprise) and thanks to everyone who bought me (way too many) drinks.
The event space upstairs at Gladstone is looking like a future party spot. Chatter Jer about doing some fun things there. It would be perfect for a #GenyTO! Weeee! Gawd I looooove summer. SO much to be had like erry day. Don’t waste your time doing nothing, get off the couch and go!
