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?
