Travel | Throwback! Virgin America Provocateur

Travel | Throwback! Virgin America Provocateur

This morning in my Timehop notifications I was reminded that four years ago today, I was riding the streetcar when I got a phone call from San Francisco saying I’d won Richard Branson’s Virgin America Contest. I was so excited that I left my phone on the streetcar! Luckily, the stars were aligned and it was returned to me within the hour. The contest went for about three months and there were about 10K entries. We had to make a YouTube video saying why we’d be the perfect ambassador to represent the world’s loudest and sexiest airline. As the Virgin America Provocateur, I travelled North America with Virgin and gave away heaps of flights. It was a great experience and the campaign got heaps of attention.      Some of my fav moments from being the Virgin America Provocateur 2010-2011: VIRGIN AMERICA TORONTO PROVOCATEUR CASIE STEWART. from Victors & Spoils on Vimeo. Casie Stewart was chosen as the Toronto Provocateur for Virgin America. = = = The crazy folks at Virgin America contacted us with an opportunity. They were about to launch service to Toronto, the first destination outside the U.S. for Virgin America. And they wanted a way to garner excitement for the launch of this service among local Torontonians. Together with Jesse McMillin – Creative Director at Virgin America – we devised a plan. Let’s create a web platform and initiative whereby we search to find one Toronto local to be our brand ambassador in Canada. The perfect person who embodies the sexy and cheeky brand attributes of Virgin America and can work to be a firebrand for the brand itself. So we decided to create a competition where the best video entry would win this coveted position. We decided we would call it “The Search for Virgin America’s Toronto…

MY SKYDIVING EXPERIENCE

MY SKYDIVING EXPERIENCE

On July 21, 2012 I went for my first skydive at Jumptown in Orange, Massachusetts. IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME! My instructor Joe Goodbreak was so cool & fun to hang out with. He has done over 1,000 jumps. Videographer was Keith Thivierge with two cameras for video & still. I was only really scared for the 3 seconds before we actually jumped.  We had a 55 second free fall at about 120km before opening the parachute. Falling in the air is exhilarating. Greatest adrenaline ever.  The sky was so clear and beautiful. I felt so calm up there. Before the Jump Skydiving from 13,500 ft (jump is at 2:12) He grabs my head so I lift up my chin to the camera. He told me not to look down but I couldn’t help it! He signals for me to pull the ripcord after we spin for a bit. Time goes so fast when you’re fallin’. I wanted to do dance moves but it was a LOT to take in on my first jump. Next time. [iframe id=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/s1z2tQ_R8h8″] Definitely tops the list of amazing things I have ever done. I can’t WAIT to do it again. Seeking friends who skydive! I feel like a cooler version of myself who can REALLY do anything.  Motivated to take on the world! Have you gone skydiving? Where, when? LMK.  Here’s to a great week 🙂

Barbie & I jus LOLed to hard at these two videos. I was telling her a story and could not for the life of me get the words out and she said I reminded her of this kid. Then, by luck we stumbled upon this GEM! Do you remember doing this at Canada’s Wonderland as a kid. I do. I wish I had my video. I was in dance and the time but no way I could beat this awesome kid. I wonder where he is now? Oh, he’s in Boston, MA and his name is Robert Jeffrey. TWERK!

can you feel the energy? can you see the rainbow?

can you feel the energy? can you see the rainbow?

Was walking in China Town the other day. So many smells and interesting things, like this… and this… Girl was being shot by a photographer in the middle of a really dirty part of China Town. People were crowded around and she looked like a hooker. I saw like “what’s that hooker doing on the middle of the day at Spadina/Dundas? Oh, getting shot”. I’m not sure the premice of this, maybe that was the point.   I walked right past while he was shooting. Pls lemme know if I end up on a billboard in China (actually that would be AWESOME! I wanna go there!). I love this city. Street car tracks/wires make us unique. Can you see the rainbow here? I am a nerd. BTW Reebok Easytone gear is seriously 10, love my kicks and pants do wonders for the booty. Stay tuned for the real photos from yesterday’s workout at The Motion Room. It was a goody, feelin’ it today too. Look at all these people working out, awesomism. Check out this hot babe on the new flyer for TMR…recognize? It’s MA SISTA. Mmmmmmm, when I go to yoga i think about Mc Donalds and feel happy too. Suckas. This is the future home of a cheap ugly condo building. Might even be low income housing. Cue me leaving the  slums area. BUT, I do have this… Anyone wanna come by? I freaking love fooseball. I used to play all the time in highschool. We played at GENYTO during Social Media Week, remember? It’s really pretty & sunny out today. Nice that most of you will have tomorrow off from work for Family Day. What are you doing? My Mum is in Bahamas, Dad is in Florida and my sis is working. Thinking about going to the Bell…

“you’re famous”

“you’re famous”

Last week in Dallas I had the pleasure of meeting Xeni (aka Madam Boing) from Boing Boing and it seems I have lots of friends that read it.  I’ve gotten texts, FB messages, emails and Tweets about the following article. Thought I better share it with the rest of ya. Check it out! Virgin America, the airline that carries Boing Boing Video as an in-flight TV channel, launched service from Los Angeles to Dallas-Forth Worth, Texas this week. I joined other press for the inaugural flight, to live-tweet snapshots of the festivities. This included a bunch of cowboys and longhorn steer right on the tarmac at landing, and later, a “secret” performance by Willie Nelson with impromptu on-stage hoedown involving Sir Richard Branson and gorgeous flight attendants. See photo gallery & full article here.

what have you done for me lately? ooooh ya

what have you done for me lately? ooooh ya

I’ve never taken a red eye before but whoa. I took some sleepy time pills last night at 11pm as we were leaving LA, woke up as we were in final descent to Toronto after sleeping the  entire five hour trip. The last couple days travelling YYZ>LAX>DFW>LAX>YYZ really tuckered me out. Hibernating all weekend. Can’t wait for my trip to San Juan next week. Talk about fun in the sun! Might even leave my computer at home and just take ipad & phone. This weekend I’m putting together a week’s worth of posts with goodies for you. Photos from the Virgin America event in Dallas coming soon. It was really fun and I met so many awesome people. HAPPY FRIDAY 🙂 * fav hat from H&M, Yoga jeans from Shop Girls Gallery Boutique

DON’T FLY LIKE CATTLE.

DON’T FLY LIKE CATTLE.

Heaps of pix from today, share with you tomorrow. Gotta run to the party at the Dallas Opera House. Willie Nelson is performing and so is LMFAO. Richard Branson will be there and perhaps some other notables. I’ve got someone interviewing me for an online magazine called Pink Memo. Finally get to meet Rachel aka @stealingkitty too. Let’s hope there are some babes. Looking forward to the night out and coming back to my lux·u·ri·ous bed at the W. Being away makes me love and appreciate you so much Toronto. I love you. See you Friday, XO Your Virgin America Provocateur

…staying up waiting for @VirginGR’s Project on #iPad.

Here’s a sneak peek on the new app that comes to the app store tonight at 12:01am. I need to download it right away so I can play with it before I meet Richard Branson. Maybe I can talk nerdy to him? There’s a contest associated with designing the new cover and some more technical info on Mashable if you’re into it. I’ll share it with you tomorrow! Nighty night! Phot is by the lovely Lynsie Roberts. She shot me in September before New Zelaland Fashion Week.
