land of plenty

MMVA Stage is lookin’ pretty rad. I love cruisin’ by there mid day on my own schedule. Liberating! I worked mega long hours this time last year getting ready for the MMVA show. It was fun at the time. Took the subway yesterday. I rarely ever take the subway. Most the time I walk. There’s never a shortage of interesting characters. I used to TTC often & would write stories about people & things I saw. Remmeber that book lady, Seen Reading? I think she got slammed for writing about people on the subway. I wonder where this guy was going? I like his outfit. Went with Keri to The Richmond to learn about Snoxin. I’m gonna have a face like a child in no time. Lots of pretty girls there & nice outfits. This stuff makes you look younger. Better than any $500 cream and available for $39. Last year I got Nanoblur from the same company, that stuff is awesome too. Post girl time, got beer & had a hipster hang w/ Australian in the park. Watched the sunset. This dude was totes checking him out. I love park hangs. He doubled me on his hipster bike. I was scared, it was exciting. Rushing to Spoke Club, then Globe & Mail then to pick up my NXNE Priority media pass. Hectic day. Wish I had a bike right now. Hope you have a really awesome day!

Pure beer bliss.

All the beer shelves were fully stocked, store opens today in Liberty Village. I love straight lines. Everything was lined up with perfection. Pretty. Pinup. ♥ Very nice shop that appeals to urban consumers. Young urban professionals of downtown, generation Y, Yuppies 2.0. SO good to see Carly & have her back in town. Love you babe! Carly is my agent and today I have a top secret audition for something on TV. I was taking our pic in the mirror here… Then I totally spilled my beer. Doh! Food was really good and outside they had an oyster bar. Look how big that one guys is! They looked to slimey for me. I kinda like oysters but think I’m stopping liking them. The slimeyness over does the taste & other effects for me. Wiggly little buggers. Brown Barbie likes ’em! My peeps comin’ down the red carpet. We arrived early & left fairly early. My new thing, getting real good at it. It takes practice. DJ was really good. Arriving early gives you optimal time for dance breaks before it gets crowded. We were drinking these beers & Stella. I love beer. Blonde is one of my fav’s. Obvs. Hi friends! Brocklyn, you are so studly. Love ya Shan 🙂 Sebastian from bring Erica. Him & his bro are hot. Nice too. Megan who I was in American Pie w/ years ago. Nice to see you, didn’t get a chance to chat! Love you Carly. Blondes. Familia. I love you all. New short hair is tres cute Keri! Raymi & I had dance party. Nice moves baby girl. Your shorts were so hot. Rose ceremony. Marcello. You saw him in Textuality w/ Jason Lewis. I get the rose this time. Puma. More blondes, omg.

don’t test me in the most annoying competition.

Stuck at airport family with bunch of kids behind us. They are annoying. Update: Erica Ehm and the mommy bloggers went to TOWN on giving me hell for this post. Thanks for the hits and personal attacks. I was stuck in an airport and these parents from Florida let their kids run ALL OVER THE PLACE. Who does that? I wasn’t attacking ‘every parent’.  Check out this little blurb in the HUffPo, I’m sure I inspired it: “But should you find yourself in the presence of a family, try to avoid behaving like this girl. I’m thinking of bookmarking her site to show my daughter an example of how not to act in public. The tight close-ups of her sun-damaged face making rude expressions about a family committing such atrocities as wondering where they’ve put their boarding passes and worrying about running out of diapers during a delay do a disservice to urban hipster doofuses everywhere. Corinne McDermott is the founder of Have Baby Will Travel – your online guide for travel with babies, toddlers & young children.  Hey, why don’t you show your daughter my site? And also the amazing things I’ve done?  Then show her what you wrote about me and explain that? Original blog post images have been removed because those Mommy bloggers bullied me and I couldn’t handle it anymore. WHAT KIND OF MOMS DO THAT, HUH? I’ve decided to be annoying too. I’m using three outlets, ahem…airport asshole. Please don’t be offended by this post if you have kids. My parents used to travel with me heaps as a kid. If anything, feel sorry for me! I am a terribly creative person trapped in an airport with a bunch of misbehaved rascals. They are running all around the place, being loud, can’t hear the announcements, and the parents aren’t doing…

boyfriend the ocean played live music for me

Best sleep of my life last night. Ocean, I love you. Your melodies were the perfect lullaby. Best bed ever. Huge wooden headboard is my love. So beautiful. Went walking Pensacola Beach by myself last night. It was so lovely. I had no idea the Gulf water was so warm. About to head to the beach now post brekky. Map of where I am here. This is the pier right outside my hotel. Remember the Gulf Oil Spill last year? Covered this same beach in tar balls for about eight miles. Same Pier. Oil came ashore on the beach overnight, and the waters were closed to the public. Geologists dug trenches aong the beach and there were veins of oil buried in approximately 4-6 inches of sand. Crazy eh. “It looked like tobacco spit and smelled foreign, and it pooled in yesterday’s footprints as far as you could see. State officials called it the worst show of crude on shore from the gusher 120 miles away.” Tampa Bay News It’s all clean now but still sad to look out my window to a beautiful view knowing it was once damaged by oil.Click for more photos or oil spill info. These kids were playing in this shell making shadows. I’m going to do that tonight. It was really cute. Passed by some bars but wasn’t in the mood for drinking. Hey Creep! Got the cutest bikini to compliment my pinup girl summer style. Love it. Saw this doggy in the window & had to have it 😉 This resto clearly has a sense of humor. haha Breakfast time then beach for this mama. Have an AWESOME DAY! xo CASIE

early bird gets_______________up the earliest.

I’m up earlier than ever today. Earliest blog post ever? Probably not but possibly. I got up an hour earlier than I needed to for the airport so now I am laughing hysterically at myself. Kidding. Not. Totally not kidding. I hope you have an awesome day. I will be in Pensicola Florida this afternoon. Hope you had fun sleeping. I’m itching for new tattoo. Are you allowed to bring glitter on an airplane? It’s not liquid or gel. We will find out today. Drinking Vitamin Water & had an Airborne (Hi Bob!). That stuff is awesome when traveling. Ok go time. Bye! next stop, Maragritaville 🙂
