I’m working on a piece about personal branding and I came across this awesome video by Scion Canada. The guy in the video is Curtis Santiago, he is a friend of mine and I always keep my eye on what he’s doing. Whether it’s painting, making music, his unique style, or positive attitude, he’s someone you want to be around. It’s clear by this video that Scion is embracing the connection they find between their brand and his personal brand. As a creative person who really likes connecting with cool brands, this makes me happy. Enjoy! The premiere of Life in a Day was last night at Sundance. Remember the youtube video anyone in the world could submit content to in the summer? I was in there somewhere. This video is pretty neat too. I’ve got a session at The Motion Room this afternoon. Ready to work up a mad sweat. Taking Beans aka @itsbrownbarbie with me. Fun, fun!

(i know you will like that i am noting this mum, i’m sure you’re rocking the 50 down in the bahamas! miss you) i’ve made a promise to myself that i am NOT going to get the winter blues. there are waaaaaay to many things to be excited about and look forward to; making summer dresses, working on my summer beach body, writing compelling stories, taking beautiful photos, the way the sun shines on the snow, fresh cool air, staying inside and watching movies, planning events…the list goes on. warmest most favourite winter boots ever, Moovboot Siberian huskies. hello city i love so much. oh you, tower! this is the same spot rannie shot me for his 140 characters project. remember this photo? ahhh, summer… that dress is from united colours of benetton when i was about eight years old. growing is for suckers, haha. RIP those glasses though 🙁 the lake looks nice today, nice and freezing cold, nice and glittery in the sunshine. remember, the cup is half full in ths department. i fired that bitch girl debby downer, restraining order. i wonder if i will ever get married? if i do i want a hungi and a haka, old cars and vintage. not that i’ve thought about it much but i love style and this photo is really cute.  there are lots of cute photos…

2010 has been the most awesome year yet. I’ve always held 2004, my year in Australia as the best year but now I’m ready for 2011. I’m looking forward to working with more great people, sharing more things with you and giving back. Yesterday I was named one of the Women’s Post’s Top 8 Web Savy Women of 2010. Here’s what the lovely Erin Bury wrote about me: Casie is one of Canada’s most well known online personalities, and a true force to be reckoned with. Whether it was helping to build MuchMusic’s online brand; winning the coveted title of Toronto’s Virgin America Provocateur; or creating unique and entertaining content on her CasieStewart.com blog; Casie has spent 2010 building her online portfolio, all with her signature spunk and sense of humour. Warning: don’t start reading her blog if you have a lot to do – it’s seriously addictive. Thank you Erin. Check out all the other lovely ladies right here. In other news, Eye Weekly posted this today: Local writers, bloggers, chefs, filmmakers, dancers and several Toronto Raptors tell EYE WEEKLY’s Kate Carraway what’s on their holiday wish-list this year: Casie Stewart, blogger: On my list is XBOX with Kinect.

This week I interviewed Riza Javellana, a Toy Expert at Mattel Canada. I asked questions I wanted to know. I am five year old inside and love toys and I refuse to lose the childlike sparkle in my eye. You will find it fun if you are wondering what the hell to get your sisters kids or your brother-laws cousin or that special munchkin in your life. 🙂 * natalie dee drawing What is the most “tech” toy out for kids this year? For girls, Barbie Video Girl has been a real hit. (I HAVE THIS! It’s awesome.) It enables girls KIDS to capture memories with a camera lens hidden in Barbie’s necklace and a colour LCD screen on her back. It’s movie-making from Barbie’s point of view. It is compatible with Windows and Mac and even comes with editing software, allowing kids to add music and graphics to their videos. I can imagine this product being a real hit for those kids who love singing to videos. It’s an all-in-one entertainment toy! What is the most popular toy this holiday season for boys, for girls? (both!) For boys, the Hot Wheels Criss-Cross Crash Track Set has been very popular. With four intersecting crash zones, it allows kids to line up their Hot Wheels cars and let them rip for near misses or total wipeouts. With more than 16 feet of track that includes hairpin turns, motorized boosters, and a giant crash zone, kids can enjoy crash and bash fun all holiday long. For girls, the entire line of Monster High has been a big hit! The new Monster High franchise was recently launched with doll characters who are modern teenage descendants of classic monsters. They are undergoing the trials and tribulations of high school. Characters include Draculaura, Clawdeen Wolf,…
