i cried, over a browser commercial. you might too.

I’m a passionate Google lover and have been for many years. Google is a huge part of my life every day. My calendars, photos, emails, blogs, buzz, searches. The web really IS what you make of it. Thank you to the lovely Stephen Greenwood in LA for sharing. Mum, I think if you every day. Often when I am writing my blog,  I am writing stories to you. I hope you are happy & safe. I miss you. Have an awesome day 🙂

canadian federal election 2011 – young people voting?

I watched the whole thing go down yesterday.  I love voting and feel this election was very exciting. The way information is delivered & talked about today is very different than it was during the last election in 2008. Social media was a hot topic across all media. Voter turnout was higher than previous years, although not by much. I’m interested to see youth vote number, I really hope young people came through! Someone on Twitter asked me: “What’s got you so election happy. Is that JUST you feelin’ peeps should be out and voting… ?” Yes. That is exactly it. It is very important to vote.  Hope I encouraged at least one person to get out there and cast a ballot. I liked seeing the rise in  NDP, pretty crazy they have never had more than 48 seats. I talked to a bunch of people who chose to vote that way for the very first time.  Surprised to how low the Liberal vote was. Excited to see the Green Party in the House of Commons for the first time. I only want the best for you, Canada.

i forgot to tell you something.

She was delivered this last night.  What should I name her? Hawaii is so secretive, black market baby trade, he won’t tell me where he got it. I feel very Victoria Newman.  (if you watch the Y&R that is pretty funny).   I was wondering where you can get one of these things in recently and turns out you can buy one from the evian shop (or harass Hawaii for the Toronto location). Super nice out today. Hitting the streets w/ Keri this arvo. Stoked to see all the people here for UFC. They have a certain walk many of them. Muscles are fun to look at. Not my type at all though. Going to Yuk Yuks w/ Raymi tonight then Jet Cooper’s Bday at The Ossington. Will try to avoid muscley-UFCing parties  😉

notable’s chilean wine tasting @ the spoke club

Hey girl wha you doin? Thanks for having me & friends Julian. Looking forward to the launch of Notable.ca. I’m Jon Crowley. Nuff said. Food was good too. Lamb, ILU. Mario, you need to shoot me one of these days. Sooner than later! Our names are Reggie – Reggie & Reggie. You are SUCH a foodie JO! Babe watch: Pam, Karly, Keri This was my fav wine of the night: This was second. A friend intro’d me to this a couple years back. This girl was prize winner. I think that guy is my neighbour. Wine tasting was great but I reckon I’ve got a two glass limit. I know drinking is different than tasting but this was more of a drinking/tasting. I used to love wine, could polish off a bottle easy. It gives me a hurting in my chest, like acid reflux when I have to much now. Especially the next day. Urgh. Am I getting old? My birthday is next weekend. I have planned nothing. Ahhh. Ok have a wonderful day! It’s lovely out there.

they brighten my room

Got my hair done yesterday. I go to Darren Kwik Studio on Queen Street right across from Bicyclette near trinity Bellwoods. Y’know, right here. Darren is an award winning stylist who is always in mags etc. He just signed up for Twitter here. Call the studio & treat yourself, 416 361 1016. You deserve it. Tell them we are friends. We are. This is what good blonde looks like. It’s super blonde/white and buzzed short. Feels nice. I always like it best after a couple days. Shaved head feels so nice though. Went to my fav vintage shop to get a hat for Royal high tea today and cute Aussie boy said he “had a thing for girls with shaved heads”.  I told him he could touch it, he did. Shaved head gives boys this cute look on their faces. Way different than long hair girl, something real sexy about the shave. This video has almost 8,000 views. Darren did a quick shave too. Stud. You can buy these for your shrine if you want. Very expensive, original human Casie Stewart hair. Just kidding. Not kidding. Kidding. You will never know. Fresh & new. Androids everywhere. These pretty things are brightening up my room: flowers + painting. Nice 🙂 Time to try on my outfit for tea this evening. Cherioooooooooooooooooooo!

the good ol’ irish goodbye

Getting pretty good at it. Pulled another last night before the  Notable Chilean Wine tasting was over. Keri is hilarious. Are you following her? You should. I love the Spoke Club. Such good food last night.  There was scallops & bacon, lamb,  piles of meat, cheese, bite size burgers. Lots of wine too. I’m not the wine drinker I used to be. I can do like two glasses only. I used to plow through a bottle no problem. I also used to arrive late/stay late  to parties all the time. Last night we arrived early, first. I am clearly getting older. I drink less these days too. The ‘sneak out of the party’ move is my new ‘fashionably late’. Stay tuned this summer, it might happen to you 😛

boys with beards

Guys & gals, get ready. Came across this last night via Kevin Naulls, handsome Assoc. Editor of TorontoLife.com and one of the beards in the feature. Thank you Hudson Bay for this. Oh, how I LOVE BEARDS. Video at the end. Enjoy! Recognized this handsome one, Ron Ruiz from MuchMTV. We worked together last year to bring MTV Fora to life. Stellar beard Kevin. His blog is the HOME of bearded. I lurk there often. Throwback to us last year @ Greta SS11. These few are cute too… He is thinking, “me & my beard are going to _________.” Don’t even get me started on this one, Jano. When I first met his stache a few months back, I was in awe. Never had I seen such a beaut sculpture on a young giants face. Worked with this cute on at MuchMTV too, Nick Fox(y). This one is new to me. He has a mini beard. I can imagine he uses shaving brush and soap to maintain his lovely beard. This one is nice too. See the original post on the Hudson Bay Co. blog here. Safe to say I don’t think I will ever date a man who can not grow a beard. I have a crush on a beard out there, you know who you are. Who are some of your fav beards?

the royal wedding live on @youtube

I can’t deny for even one second how excited I am about the Royal Wedding. I know it’s cheezy and I’m not one for wedding talk but I love this. I really do. I’ve told you heaps of times how much Mum loved Diana and my middle name is ‘Diana’ after her. This wedding guys, it’s just, so MASSIVE. MASSIVE not just in the guestlist, dress or whatever, I’m talking security and the footprint this baby is gonna make on the internet. It might explode. The engagement was announced by on Twitter by the British Monarchy and since then the online prep for the wedding has been huge.  You can catch the big event Friday on youtube’s Royal Channel or traditional tv. Have some fun things planned in spirit of the royal event. Wednesday is high tea at The Windsor Arms with She Does the City, O’Nizzle & Raymi will be there too. There’s only 30 people  and we’re in the tea room. Looking forward to everyones outfits. I might wear one of these vintage numbers Jenie & I rocked during Fashion Week circa 2006. Friday morning I’m stopping by my old work at 299 Queen for The Marilyn Denis Show with my client Shelly Purdy. Shelly is giving away a diamong ring on Facebook here. Go enter to win it. She designed a beautiful collection inspired by the Royal Wedding called The Royals. A cute blonde girl you know made her beautiful website. THE FUTURE is INTERNET. P.S. Lady Gaga as Queen of Twitter “I love you and love yourself.”
