Queen Spadina Fire

Queen Spadina Fire

Walked Brent Winsor to Brocklyn’s house and heard so many sirens on the way. This is where they were going… One of the units on the South side of Queen just West of Spadina across from CTS was on fire. Spadina/Adelaide/Queen Street shut down. People were evacuated. I saw a couple with their cats in cat cages. Sad, I really hope everyone is ok. I looked serious. One of the restos right there recently went out of business.  Other than that, no details to report. These are my photos. Adelaide East to Spadina. So many trucks. Fire was in the building right behind these fighters. Queen/Spadina. Queen Street West. Then I saw an open manhole on my way home. This is what it looks like inside. Casie Stewart, reporter of daily events on Toronto.

Pure beer bliss.

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.

annoying department: excuse me for a minute

annoying department: excuse me for a minute

One of the most annoying things ever is when girls (any age) talk about you to other people. I’ve talked about it before and despite getting older, it never seems to go away. It is especially annoying when it is public, negative, the person has a high profile and they also don’t bother to say it to you directly. I was not Regina George in highschool and didn’t used to have the confidence I do now. I got bullied heaps growing up, mostly by mean girls. Today I got a message from a friend on my way home from the airport after six hours on airplanes and spending half the day before in an airport… “your tweets & blog post rant about parents with kids at airport is causing a shit storm with parents on fb” GREAT! Welcome home! First: Thank you for reading & linking to my blog Erica. I’m happy to have you as a reader. I’ve been a fan of yours since I was a kid. Circa 1991 here, lookin’ cute. We both worked at MuchMusic and I’ve often wondered if  we would work on a project together. We both blog & Tweet in Toronto. We have many friends in common. I always though of you as cool with great style.   Second: Why didn’t you comment/say ANYTHING TO ME? I know you’re not shy. Lots of options, Twitter, Facebook, Fan Page, blog , email? I am surprised you would single me out like that to your friends on Facebook without commenting as a mother yourself. I waited to see if you would say something to me since you were engaging your audience about my blog post. You didn’t. Your comment “what people without kids think of us who have kids” is a silly generalization about those who have kids and those who don’t. I…

a good team is a family, a family is a team – Kyle Benjamin

a good team is a family, a family is a team – Kyle Benjamin

Dad loves racing so to be working with a race car driver is pretty neat. Especially an epic, race winning child prodigy one. Sky & I were twerkin’ hard in the office aka the rig. She is 11. We were tweeting our hearts out during the bike race portion. She is a riot.  RA RA RIOT. I was telling Kyle how he’s gonna have ladies all ova’ him. He’s so dang cute. Any of you out there 13ish? He’s single. Gettin’ ready. Talladega styles. Race time. Team #71. Was a totally crazy race. Started with 25 drivers, finished with 16ish. About 20 cautions, three ambo’s. This one went straight to hospital, back injury. Hope you’re ok man. Waiting for the track to be cleared then take a few laps to warm up the tires. (Get’s easily distracted) HAHAHAHAHAHHA. What a winner this stud. Kyle took 3rd. Nice one buddy! Kyle loves Gatorade. (wink wink nudge nudge) Sky, you are the cutest ever. Check those tire marks from racers bumpin’ him. Bump & grind fo’ realz His shirt was actually soaking wet. We were laughing. Dang hot drivin’ them cars. (Clearly I’ve been in the South, I’m typing with an accent.) Impressed with how well spoken you are Kyle. Nice twerk. Good interview. Night was fun. Brekky & travel home tomorrow. I miss my own bed. I like being away but I love coming home. Next trip is Boston in July. Next week is busy with NXNE (music & interactive), MMVAs & more. Gonna be real fun. Have an awesome day 🙂

boyfriend the ocean played live music for me

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

your chariot awaits ladies

your chariot awaits ladies

Looked out the window and saw this big thing downstairs waiting for us. OMG. Yeppers, that big fancy limo was for Chantelle & I. Big thanks to Calvin & Regency Limo for setting up the most awesome airport delivery ever. I had never been in a limo before so I was absolutely buzzing with excitement! Chantelle has been lucky enough to ride in a limo in the past when her friend hired a limo service newark for her 30th birthday. She was still excited to travel like a celeb though! Our driver Andrew even got us coffee. LOVE YOU! It was 5:30am, so necessary! Was kinda like a wild disco in there. If you wanna book one like us ring 416-785-1222. Tell them we’re friends. Sunrise was real pretty this AM. I should wake up earlier more often. I really love mornings. Made it through airport security no prob. They let me take glitter too 😉 Weeeeeeee moving sidewalk: walk, walk, fashion baby. I LOVE YOU ICE CREAM shirt. Sadly, no Timmies on the USA side. Wahhh. GLITTER GRAFITTI @ YYZ. Borderline artistic strikes again. I would like to watch this show. Flying in to Atlanta. Man, it was hot there. Hot-lanta, I get it. Big thanks to Telus & Motorola for my phone & great mobile service. I love you. Wifi onboard? OMG THAT’S ME, INTERNET! P.S. The big yellow bag I have and all my other fav purses are Nella Bella & they are having a SAMPLE SALE on Thursday at the Studio 401 Richmond. Info below. GO get yourself something nice!

Stopped by the park after a meeting today. Was real pretty, hot & relaxing. Stopped into Bicyclette. Noticed my tan is getting serious. WEAR SUNSCREEN. Paige I would like to read this book. Thought it was for sale! Book is all stories from author “Dear [company] about his life, him being over qualified. Basically, how cover letters are BS. Inspiring blog posts in the making here. This is what I got. It’s handmade in Bolivia. Look who it is! My babe Lynsie Roberts photography. The shop is so damn cute. Every time I go there I wanna get like 10 dresses. I want this next time. Was on hunt for a patio where you can get mani/pedi AND have a beer. There isn’t one. I went to 10 SPot which was totally lovely. They have wifi so I could work & get nails done. Total win! Me, working. The result! I will deff be back. Hope we can chat about working together. Having a go-to nail tech would be AWESOME. The lovely babe who did my nails was a total sweet. Thank you! Dinner tonight then I really have to pack for this work trip. Clean clothes mountain is resting on my bed. Meh, that can wait, too many things to be excited about including sunshine & warm weather.

ladies day picnic

ladies day picnic

Was lovely down by the lake yesterday arvo. Fatal attraction to cuteness. Katie said I reminded of of Gwen here. I love Gwen too. HTO Park is one of my fav spots because there is (fake) beach (sandbox). Good one bringing tripod Chantelle! Fun watching the boats go by. Time for another Mariposa Cruise I reckon. They have an Ice Cream social on Saturday. Picked up a bunch of healthy snacks. Friends, sun, snacks, park, so love! Grass hill beach picnic plank. Nice one Katie. So bright it sparkles. BORDERLINE ARTISTIC. The water from lake is very high. Have never seen it like that before! Black Swan is still there. We named her Natalie. I think she’s gonna have babies.
