Nuit Blanche 2012 Video

I experienced Nuit Blanche last night. The Hip put on an AWESOME show. The Drambuie event at Camera Parts was awesome. Will post some photos from those tomorrow.

For today, check out this rad video by my Jon Simonassi from The Biz Media digital video agency. There was SO MUCH to see last night. Were you out? What did YOU see? LMK!

Nuit Blanche Toronto 2012 from BizMedia on Vimeo.

For one night each year, Toronto’s streets become an outdoor interactive art gallery. Last year our goal was to beat the press and release a video before sunrise the next morning. This year our goal was no different. The crowds were huge, the art was amazing and we were up all night making this video so you can experience it all over again – the very next day.

Nuit Blanche Toronto 2012 was produced by BizMedia
Shot & edited by cinematographer Jon Simonassi

Track: Palace of the Innocents – The Glitch Mob

Nuit Blanche 2012 – My Plan for the Night

Tonight is Nuit Blanche and the city is alive with art installaions, music, and culture. It’s one of my fvaourite Toronto events and I’ve taken part since it started back in 2008. Tonight I’m starting with The Tragically Hip and Molson Canadian at Sound Academy. The show isn’t a Nuit Blache event but those are tickets I won’t pass up!

My portrait is featured in an installation called Life Lessons at Funding Matters Gallery (Zone C 29). Life Lessons features 311 portraits of community figures who have helped shape the city of Toronto. Other notables ar Margaret Atwood, David Miller, Douglas Coupland, Justin Bieber, Atom Egoyan, George Strombo, David Mirvish, Susur Lee, and Karen Kain. I am extremely honoured to be in this amazing group! The project will be exhibited using Sony HD TV screens displaying life-sized images of each subject at print-quality resolution.

When: September 29th, 2012
Time: 7:03 PM
Location: FUNDING matters GALLERY – 33 DUNDAS ST E, TORONTO ON M5A 2A2 (East of Sherbourne, South side)

See the event page on Facebook to view portraits of other notable people in the Toronto community.

LIFE LESSONS PORTRAIT by TOMORI NAGAMOTO:

One of my fav years was 2009 when I went to U of T then ran into my sister on Queen Street at 3am. Another fav was 2010 when we filmed the video that won me the Virgin America Provocateur title. Here’s a little art history on my Nuit Blanche adventures.

After the Hip and Life Lesson’s exhibit, I’ll be heading to Camera Parts on Queen Street for Drambuie’s Extraordinary Night pop-up installation. It’s definitely something you want to check out as you’re cruising around. We posted about it on the Pulp&Fiber blog at work. Come by to discover your extraordinary side! I should be there about midnight.

I wish you a fun filled night of artistic exploration. If you see me make sure to say HI.

BE THE ART YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.

THIS on Coral TV: Interview w/ Steve Carty

Earlier this week I sat down with Toronto photographer Steve Carty to talk tips for taking great photos for the internet. He’s the awesome photog who took the shots of me with the ice cream and did my intro video.

Early Riser, Morning Sunshine

Woke up early after a super long day. Dance was great last night. Routine to Rack City, no joke. Filmed an episode of Coral TV, comes out tomorrow. Arrived first at the office. Sunshine halo at my desk. I’m so slow leaving the house. I have a taxi problem. Wore a hat. It’s getting colder. Can’t wait to buy a new bike. Don’t have a case on my iPhone just screen protector. Work is going good. Going the to Casby awards tonight. Seeing the Hip on Saturday. Ready for the weekend. Working full time is tiring but so is freelance. I’ve been drinking less. It’s really sunny today. Maybe I’ll go for a walk at lunch.

You will never be younger than you are today, do something special, do something fun, tell someone you love them.

Have an awesome day,

Shad & Grand Analog Music Video: The Great Rhyme Dropper

This weekend Brock, Lauren, my sister, and I were hired to be in the new Shad & Grand Analog video. It should be out before the holidays on MuchMusic. It was so much fun. I love working with the team at 1188 Films. Here’s some pix from behind the scenes. It was hilarious doing green screen. The guys in the band were awesome to work with.

It’s gonna be funny when it arrives on the tele! Woo hoo 🙂

The Sweetest Thing: New Jeans, New Jacket, Jean Machine

The week before I started at Community I was CRAZY busy with TIFF events. One of the things that makes TIFF so busy is the insane amount of parties and outfit changes in between gift lounges & films. NO really, it’s actually stressful! My friend Val works with Jean Machine and they invited me to the Eaton Centre store to ….PICK OUT AN OUTFIT! I worked in the mall heaps during highschool and knew Jean Machine well. My first job was at GAP in Fairview Park Mall. I used to wear a LOT of jeans back then and Jean Machine was my destination. I remember ~~almost~~ crying to Dad once I needed new jeans and in the car we went to Jean Machine. I wish like crazy I still has those super soft Silver’s from grade ten, I lived in those things.

It’s been ages since I walked into a Jean Machine store and was happy to be re-introduced. They had Yoga Jeans, Mavi is still there, and some new brands. I tried on about 10 pairs with a stylist over the course of an hour. Decided on a pair of flare (yes, and so long) jeans by Guido & Mary. Low rise, slim fit, and BEST a$$ pants. No seriously.

To complete my outfit I got a fitted blazer from the Jean Machine brand YDE. Wore the blazer at first day at work and jeans when I spoke last week at a conference week.

Pop in and visit a Jean Machine store. You’ll be surprised by their updated coolness! Twitter is @JeanMachine 😉 Thank Val for inviting me. Her and I laughed our heads off and tried on clothes. It was super fun. A few of the Toronto blog girl were there and so posted them on her blog I’m Charming You. Babes.

Nest time we are doingit like this. One of my fav scenes from one of my fav movies ‘The Sweetest Thing’ starring ~~Christina Walters~~ Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, and Selma Blair. Enjoy!

The Social Network: New MySpace Design

This looks cool. I loved MySpace. I really was my first Social Network. I lived in the New York when it came out and wasn’t able to work so I watched a million movies and taught myself HTML.

The new Myspace from Myspace on Vimeo.

It’s exciting to the the Internet buzzing about the new design. At CES this year MySpace announced the launch of a MySpace TV partnership with Panasonic. Justin Timberlake is co-owner with Specific Media Group and it appears he’s innovating the social media space. I’m into it.

Thoughts?

Sheepdogs Concert at Echo Beach

Last weekend Canadian Club treated Mum, Jenie and to the Sheepdogs concert. These are some of official event photos. The T-List crew was in full force and we joined the band at Cadillac lounge for drinks after the show. Super nice guys.

Thank you Praxis for a great time. Mum had an awesome birthday and it was night we’ll never forget.

Social TV, Dance Routines, Everyday, Awesomism

It’s been a busy day! Arrived early at the office, did some writing, and a conference keynote all before noon. I posted the slides from my presentation with Stephen Henrik (The Globe & Mail) on the Pulp&Fiber blog. The subject was ‘Role of Social TV in Building the Brand’ read it here. For the record, if you know Stephen, he did not say “shake that” during the presentation.

Last night my sister came with me to dance at King West Fitness. We are BOTH In the Army of Sass from now until December. We perform at the Virgin Mobile MOD Club Theatre on December 8th & 14th. Book your calendar. The show is ALWAYS sold out. It’s going to be AWESOME. Jenie and I haven’t danced together since we were kids and we’ve never actually been in the same class.

CIBC Run for The Cure 2012 – September 30!

This year I’m participating in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure on September 30, 2012. I’m running with Lauren, Sarah, Courtney, and Harmony as TEAM 5138008. Get it? BOOBIES! I’ve been training by running, dancing (joined a burlesque troupe!), eating healthy, and mentally preparing for 5k. At this point I can to 2.5k and by 12 days from now, I’ll be ready!

When I think about the estimated over 23,000 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year in Canada, I’m happy to be supporting a cause that touches so many of us. I heard yesterday about a friends Mum being diagnosed with Breast Cancer and I wrote this post right away.

As of right now I have raised 16% of my personal goal of $300. I would like to blow that number out of the WATER!

You can make a difference. With your support, the Foundation will continue funding breast cancer research, education and health promotion initiatives across the country, making a difference from coast to coast. To learn more about the work the Foundation does, visit www.cbcf.org

Will you support me in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure?

A donation of $20, $50 or $100 will really help me get closer to my fundraising goal. Of course, any donation will make a difference and help create a future without breast cancer. You can make your donation here.

Need some PINK donation motivation?

Pink glasses, pink sky!

Me running for the CURE!

Pink Strawberry Tic Tacs for Breast Cancer Month!

Mum and I in MATCHING Pink jackets!

Me yesterday in Pink wrinkle free Oxford & BF cardigan from Mark’s, Hunter Wellies, Abercrombie demin (so old), and a smile.

We’re still deciding what to wear as a team put I assure you it will be pink, cute, and race ready! Visit my personal donation page at runforthecure.com/goto/casiestewart to make a donation or view the team page. See Lauren’s most recent blog post here detailing our outfit options.

Thanks for your support!

This is me at work today. I set off the alarm by accident when I came early 🙂

I always loved this movie and still want to be a mermaid.

This photo is from DRESSED presented by Maybelline during Fashion’s Night Out at Burroughes in Toronto. Thanks F-List & Leesa Butler! See the set on F-List’s Facebook. Friend in the middle is Miche Foran. I mentioned her as one of my fav designers in a recent eBay ‘Style Stories’ profile. She’s just getting started but has amazing style, designs, headwear. We’re both Taurus, love her.

Yesterday was awesome. This is my first ‘official’ day outfit. We have a farmers market in our neighbourhood this weekend. CN Tower looking beautiful as always, it’s getting colder out now. WTHR app is hard to get used to. I keep reverting to my ‘traditional’ weather app.

Saw some cool old records on my way home from work. Got a free cupcake. Brock McLaughlin has a new campaign for RW&Co? He’s blogging now, it’s entertaining.

T-List Night Out @ Echo Beach

Good morning, good morning! Had a great weekend with the fams and all my besties. Cooked food for the week last night. Started a new book. Cleaned the house. Had a great sleep and woke up early. I’ll share the pro photos from the meet & greet with The Sheepdogs when I get them. Mum read us their Rolling Stone article as we were getting ready to head to the show. Hung out with the band at Cadillac Lounge after too. It was a heap of fun. Here’s some tweets from our crew. Big thank you to Praxis PR & Canadian Club for showing us a great time.

Team Stewart Family Fun

Today is Mum’s birthday. I took her on a shopping spree at 3F (I’m on the Board of Directors there) and got her a couple new outfits. The store has a massive sale and you can get 10 items for $100 right now.

We have a meet & greet with The Sheepdogs before the show tonight. I’m stoked to take Mum, Jenie and a few friends thanks to my friends at Canadian Club. Hopefully it’s not too chilly by the water at Echo Beach.

Looking forward to rocking out with my girls tonight! Wahooooo!

KISS Concert at Moslon Amphitheatre

Saw KISS last night. It was pretty epic. They have the best shoes & outfits. Gene Simmons tongue in real life was so long. He was also wearing a metal attachment that looked like a spine on his man parts, it caused a sea of screams in the crowd. The show was super good. Impressed with the lights & pyro. I have never actually seen Molson Amp THAT packed. The crowd leaving was so tame, like a flock of sheep. Totally last minute totally awesome!

Happy Friday!

The Edgy Veg: Edible Facemasks with Candice & Casie

This is by far my favourite episode on Coral TV. Candice and I shot this Monday w/ Shannon Litt and it was (as you will see) SO MUCH FUN. We were laughing our heads off the entire time. Some big things are happening with our channel and I can’t wait to share with you as they do. Subscribe to Coral at YouTube.com/Coral and follow Candice on Twitter @EdgyVeg.

The face mask made my skin so soft and it was super easy to make. Delicious too! Try it at home 🙂

Wanna see the Sheepdogs at Echo Beach this Weekend?

On Saturday I’m taking mum to see the Sheepdogs for her birthday. I have two extra General Admin tickets from my friends at Canadian Club. I would LOVE you to have them. I’ve seen them a bunch of times and they’re so good.

Wanna see the Sheepdogs? Maybe meet my amazing Mum?

TIFF: Guest Starring on Edgy Veg, Birks Jewellers Suite, The Iceman Film

Yep, TIFF is still in full force for the next few days. Doesn’t it seem like forever?

Wore a cute outfit yesterday. Schoolgirl skirt is hand painted by Beaucoup Fashion House, Vans ‘Sophie’ shoes, shirt was a gift, Nella Bella Avalon bag.

Went uptown to shoot w/ Candice for her show on Coral TV, The Edgy Veg. She made a delicious face mask and slopped it on me. The episode comes out Thursday so make sure you subscribe to Coral by then. There is lots of laughing in this one. Then we eat the mask.

I was invited to the beautiful Birks Jewellers suite in the new Shangri-La hotel to preview the new Muse collection. It was diamond heaven! Thanks to Fiji Water & Birks for having me. It was a nice break in the afternoon. Glass of champagne at 3pm really takes the edge off!

I loved the rings, especially the costume huge ones and the Canadian double diamond leaf. The ombre pearls are also incredibly beautiful. Perhaps I can borrow for a huge event sometime? Hint, hint. Besos to the team for my gift, feeling the love!

Saw the film ‘The IceMan‘ with Barbie in the evening. It was excellent. Michael Shannon is an incredible actor. There was a star studded cast including Ray Liotta, Winona, James Franco, and Chris Evans. They were all there after to talk about the film. Seeing the actors in real life really makes you appreciate their hard work, talent, and career. There is another screening today at noon. If you can make it to the Rush Line, go. You will be glad you did. Details here.

This afternoon I’m catching the Bill Murray film Hyde Park on Husdon then scooting over to Jean Machine to be styled for an outfit for the Festival Music House this evening.

Looking forward to #TIFF styling sessions with @casiestewart @beelauratee @urbanebloc and @auwai_inc today!

TIFF DAY 3: We Like, We Like to Party

Yesterday was so much fun. Photo & tweet wrap up! Off to dinner. Have makeup done. Picked up jewellery for tonight’s party.

Met Olympic swim babe Tera Van Beilen.

Free Trident bike taxi!

Stopped into Le Germain to hang out w/ Dell & play with the XPS. Awesome lil’ ultrabook

Sailor Jerry Party at The Drake, right after got new tattoo!

TIFF Day 2: JUST THE TIFF!

This might be my favourite episode yet. We filmed it yesterday in Yorkville. The blondie with me is my sister, Jenie. It was hilarious dressing the babe in the Diesel store. The part that didn’t get on camera is me asking for the “no shirt collection”. Ha! There are so many things happening this weekend. I went to about five parties last night and got a tattoo. Mega huge thank you to the team at RockIt for a great time at the Drake and introducing me to the Sailor Jerry team. It was so much FUN.

Have an awesome day!
