detroit rock city

I’ve spent the last couple days at Caesars Casino. It’s quite a sight. The carpets in casino’s are a real piece of work.

You may not have really thought about it or noticed before, but you should.  He who designs casino carpets must be out of this world or on some really good drugs.

Windsor is a bit of a crummy looking place. It’s not nearly as shiny and bright as Toronto, however, they’ve got a nice bar of you like strippers. Babe alert, saw a few hotties. No photos, I wish. Sorry.

Got hassled at the border as I’m using my new Zealand passport. Not fun. US Border Patrol now has my finger prints and nice smiley photo of me.

I was shocked and kind of appalled of the huge fist in Detroit. What is the significance of it? PLEASE tell me.

Oh thanks Internet…It’s a 24-foot bronze fist, which is poised as if to strike, honors legendary boxer (and Detroit native son) Joe Louis. [Dear God, please, please let me have a better statue that a big fist to remember me by if I ever have have one. Thank you.] The artist is really a comedian I think.

I enjoy going  through tunnels. I always think about movies where people get trapped in them and it gets all dramatic and stuff. I said “oh, I’d hate to get trapped in here” and then the next day, coming back to Canada, we hit traffic in the tunnel. It wasn’t scary though. The nav system showed us as in the middle of the water, that was a little scary. haha.

That’s all for now.

TGIF: Twitter, Google, Internet, Facebook

Last Friday I posted TGIF and you know what? I’m gonna do it again! I’ve had a great week at work. Feeling better as each day goes by, I’m kinda getting the hang of things. If you wanna see you can follow @MTVcanada on Twitter and check in to the MuchMusic & MTV FB’s.

Here’s some stuff I checked out this week around the interwebs…

1. Gaga gorgeous Barbie from my Tumblr blog:

2. Things that make us happy…[read more]

Having a Good Laugh – Laughter is the greatest cure of all. Life is extraordinary in the moments when you are laughing so hard you can barely breathe. These moments of deep laughter are divine in the sense that they cleanse your mood and set your mind on a positive track.

Making the Yellow Light – It’s one of the most common simple pleasures, the act of beating the pack. As you blaze through the yellow light you glance in your rearview to see all the cars behind you stopping at the red light. Yes! You made it!

3. This laughing girl…love laughing and photos of girls laughing always put a smile on my face. I like to Tweet them via Tumblr when I see a real beaut.

That’s it for the Friday wrap up. I’m back to the Impact Conference & stoked to be at the HEAD TABLE with Jeff and Justin Trudeau. I’m out of town all weekend and back at the office Tuesday! BON WEEKEND!

Impact National Conference – Nov.20, 2009

I came in to catch the tail end of a seminar about personal branding & brand leadership. Something I get asked about from time to time and one of my favorite things. Think…

Whats the impact of your personal brand – what does your brand say about you? Does it change? Is it different from work to play, drinking vs sober? It matters.

For my brand, I chose to use stickers, poster Queen Street downtown Toronto, show up at parties with buttons. Offline stuff to drive peoples attention to what was happening  online, here. I like different types of marketing to define my personal brand, I’m a ‘different’ kinda girl.

Jeff  Adams just took the stage as the lunch keynote…I’ve been looking forward to this. You can see my Tweets here.

This is my notebook blowing in the wind on a beautiful summer day at Trinity Bellwoods park in Toronto.

This forest photo is from Suicide Blonde, love the photos there. So glamorous, smart and sexy. Just what I like.

I also learned about Ogze Samanel’s ordinarycomics.com from Suicide Girl. He did these drawings for fun. Today I went to winners. I picked up some great Betsy Johnson tights. One pair is bright gold with a lightening rod down the side. You’ll see, when they’re ready to come out.  I finally got some earphones too, bright pink ones.

Today i’m a guest at the 2009 the Impact National Conference at the Westin. It’s part of Global Entrepreneurship Week and it brings together 500 of Canada’s top young leaders. I’m really looking forward to the lunch speaker, I heard he’s handsome and a tear-jerker. [bring a kleenex in your pocket]

The conference is encouraging young people to achieve their dreams. That fits to my beat I reckon. Good friends Saul, Sarah & Darius are doing workshops. If you’re young and smart and want to learn from amazing people, go see them.

There is a Gala at night. I have a hot date but don’t know the dress code. I always do better that way, just dress fabulous.

Happy Friday

love on sale from now till monday

I used to live live in a psychic city,
I never knew what would happen in a day.
I might be looking out the window
and a friend might say,
“Come on over over, come on over over,
come on over we’re having a party for you.

I used to live in a voodoo city,
where every little thing had its own secret life.
I might be washing up the dishes
and the kitchen might say,
“Hang around baby baby, hang around baby baby,
hang around baby we’ll be baking a cake for you.

I used to live in a heartbeat city,
I swear I’d fall in love every minute on the street.
You might be walking around the corner
and our eyes might meet.
Where you been darling darling? Where you been darling darling?
Where you been darling darling we’ve been holding this moment for you.

I told you your dreams would come true
I told you your dreams would come true
I told you your dreams would come true
I told you your dreams would come true

This song is by YACHT and it’s called Psychic City. I love the whole album. I listen to it on repeat and I though I should probably share it with you instead of keeping all the joy for myself. Join Team Yacht or follow @teamyacht and feel happy.
