Woke up to Jonathan making us breakfast.  A little tired from the night before but didn’t drink too much so after a tea I was good to go.  Took 4 girls a while to get ready – I don’t think Jonathan was prepared for how ridiculous we are.  We were tweeting, taking photos, changing outfits, taking more photos…  Finally got out of the house and made it to Wakestock by 2:00pm.  The line up was huge but luckily we had media passes to bypass it.

First stop was to check out the skatepark and there were some sick skaters & bmx bikers doing tricks.  I tried to catch the guys doing backflips on the bike’s but they were too fast for me.

Our media passes allowed us to stand in the photo pit for the first 3 songs of each artist and we took full advantage.  Got tons of photos, videos and danced our asses off.  Didn’t make it in time to see The Set or King Cobra so the first band we saw was USS.  I’ve met the guys a few times with Kyle but hadn’t seen a live show yet.  They were so awesome!  Jay aka Human Kebob the DJ wore a blue warm up suit with white stars all over it.  He danced his ass off, crowd surfed, and got everyone screaming.  Ash Boo-Schultz was killing in on guitar and vocals while making a smoothie throughout the set.

They were joined on stage by their friends Edward & Jacob and then finally a guest performance by Maestro Fresh Wes.   I was so excited to hear Wes perform.  I’ve known him through my sister Kristin for a few years now, they were in Metropia & Instant Star together.

After the set we got backstage passes from Allison (thank you so much!) and I went to Wes to see if he remembered me.  He gave me a huge hug and said he just talked to my sister and asked if I had a camera.  I said yes and he grabbed my hand and took me to a tour bus.  Knocked on the door and a HUGE security guard answered, Wes said “she’s with me” and we walk onto the bus and who is sitting at the table CHUCK D!!!  Wes introduced me and I shook his hand and then took photos of Wes and Chuck with a copy of Wes’ book Stick To Your Vision.  That was the highlight of my Wakestock weekend.

After USS we walked around the main area and made some friends in the crowd.  Took lots of photos and signed a couple t-shirts.  Ran into friends of Casie‘s from New Zealand and they were super nice.  Also saw my friend Tiffany – she’s such a babe.

We headed back to the photo pit for Alexisonfire – it was my first time seeing them live as well and they were really good.  After the first 3 songs we went to stand sidestage to watch the rest of the set and that was pretty cool.

Ran into some friends from the Edge, Dean & Todd and hung out in the Virgin Mobile tent backstage with Paul & Amber.  So good to see you guys!

Got to hang out with some of the Public Enemy crew while they were waiting for their KFC to show up.  Too funny.  Said hi to Flavor Flav but didn’t get a photo with him.  Michie Mee did a special guest appearance before Public Enemy and it was my first time seeing her as well.

Flavor Flav came out next and did a drum solo – which was pretty interesting.  He has so much energy and I can’t believe he’s 61!  So crazy that he is still performing and he was just as good as someone half his age.  Did the photo pit for Public Enemy’s first three songs and then we got to stand side stage again!  It was so awesome to watch them and we were really lucky to stand side stage, thanks to Raymi‘s friend Lawrence.

After Public Enemy we got a golf cart limo back to our car.  So nice not to walk after walking around all day.  Boys kept jumping on the back and we had to yell at them to get off.  Stupid boys.

Wewent back to the loft with Jonathan to eat and get ready for the after party.  We didn’t take as long as before and all 4 of us were ready – photos taken – and out the door in 2 hours.

Went to the crew hotel first to meet up with them and have some drinks and then took a shuttle over to the afterparty.  Such a fun time with these girls.  Always laughing, taking photos and tweeting

We walked in just in time for the bikini contest.  I’ve never been in one, and I don’t ever want to be.  It just isn’t me to stand up in front of a crowd, oiled up, shaking my ass in a bikini.  Ugh.  Todd was hosting and after they picked the winner Wes & Human Kebob performed.   Jonathan took us home around 1am and I crashed right away  Such a blast!

Did a last minute pack after I finished my work for the morning and then headed over to Casie‘s to meet the girls.  Had the WORST cab driver – he forgot to turn the meter on til halfway and then drove me through the Roger’s center to make up for it – ignoring me telling him which way to go.

Packed Chad’s suitcase to take with me – I have enough clothes for a week and we’re only there for 2 nights.  Road-tripped the way up.  Sang some Lady Gaga & Metallica Car-aoke and filmed a nude wedges walk-off on our one stop.

Love the girls I’m hanging with this weekend.  So good to have positive girls that support each other on our Wakestock Party Girls Weekend.  It’s funny how we can all hang out and be texting/tweeting/FB-ing and still be having conversations.  Love knowing that I can keep on talking and everyone is paying attention

Got to our loft at Mountain Spring Resort and Jonathan was already there and waiting for us and he’d stocked up on candy & booze.  Our blond hurricane took over the place pretty fast and we got dressed to go eat in the Blue Mountain Village.  Went to eat at Copper Blues and the hostess was extremely rude to Raymi and then refused to accept Casie’s photo ID – so we got up and walked out.  Went over to Tholo’s and they had the nicest staff and best food.  We sat on the patio and it was pretty chilly so they brought us two propane heaters and we were golden.  Raymi the Foodie ordered us this amazing flambeed cheese called Saganaki and it was delicious.

After dinner we went back to the house to change and take photos before heading back to the Village for the Edge 102.1 Afterparty.  There were so many dumb, drunk jocks there and it was kind of ridiculous.  I’ll never understand why any guy thinks a good pick up line is to just grab a girl’s hair, shirt, hat.  We weren’t mean, just danced away until some idiot spilled his entire drink down O’Nizzle’s back and in her hair.  Good thing we were wearing our Zeugari suits underneath for a quick change.

Made some friends, got some drinks and danced front row to Rebel Emergency.  Awesome live band and we met the guys afterwards… of course they were already friends with my bro and his band.  Were gonna hang with them after the show but they showed up too late and we were in bed already.

It’s gonna be an awesome weekend and if you’re gonna come out, let us know!

Yesterday was Hail The Villain‘s debut album release for Population: Declining and they played at MOD. I’m too old for the audience so I got to sit behind the scenes and watch with Casie and the other girlfriends of the band.  It was so awesome to see them live and Bryan requested DWW Your Man as the video they wanted to see.

I kinda saved the day because Sarah Taylor asked for a Villain shirt on air and luckily I had brought the two brand new ones Chad gave to me.  Joe thought it was a shirt from their TM Jawsh and they said thanks to him on air.  Oh well, there’s a glimpse of me on camera giving the shirt to Joe.  haha.

It was Casie’s first time seeing them live and i always love when new people see them.  HTV is an amazing live band and I got their Runaway performance on video (sounds not that great).  Make sure you check out the MOD site for their interview, music video and live performance of Take Back The Fear.  For the rest of the photos check my Picasa.

After MOD Casie and I went for drinks at the Firkin with Wynn – he’s the best – and then we headed to the Sailor Jerry Rum party at Lavish & Squalor’s upstairs.  There’s nothing better than going to a cool party where they give you drink tickets and yummy food.  It was the Toronto screening of the Sailor Jerry movie and a totally different mix of people that I hadn’t met before.  I finally got to meet Anna Von from Pink Mafia, which was pretty cool.  I took a terrible photo of us, so it’s not getting posted.  She’s built a great company and brand and I’d love to get more involved with them.

Then we headed to the Rivoli to meet up with Chad and his label & management people.  My sis was finished filming for the day and was there, so we stayed for a drink and then we called it a night.  I was so ready for bed by the time we got in and crashed right away.

I got two packages full of goodies today from my new friends at The Shopping Channel.  They sent the Summer Beauty Bag which has full and samples sizes of new skin, hair care, cosmetic & spa stuff in a nice big tote bag that will be perfect for the beach.  They also sent me their new line of hair care from Living Proof.  I love new things and I can’t wait to give myself some pampering while Chad’s away this weekend.

Tonight I was invited to an exclusive preview & launch party for Spice Safar by a company that I had never heard of before called ReiCura.  I was pretty excited because in their email it said that people in their office are big followers of my blog and they wanted to invite me as their guest.  I went with Casie, who got the same letter, and when we went in they handed us a menu with $15 martinis & $18 platters and asked if we’d like to start a tab.  I was totally turned off by that and we left right away.  If anyone wants me to come and write about their event then it has to be worth my while.  It was really lame of the company to trick us like that, and especially sending a form letter that says they read my site.  I doubt they do.

We randomly bumped into Sean Ward on the corner of King & Spadina and went to meet the group at #RandomTO.  It was my very first time going to one of them and we all crowded upstairs at Hey Lucy for $4 martinis.  Ms Currybomb showed up and I met Lauren O’Nizzle in person.  She’s another cute little blonde girl blogger.  Such a babe and she’s got the sweet gig of blogging for MuchMusic & the MMVA’s.  Check her out and vote up so she can interview the celebs on the red carpet.

Home for the night now and made a milkshake.  Gotta get some work done and catch up on my Glee.  I’ve ignored everything online about it so I can be surprised.

Ok, I’m a little late in posting this but since I’ll be heading out to MTV tonight to see Miss Holly Montag I’ve got to get my Kristin Cavalleri post done.

The lovely Casie invited some super awesome blog babes to MTV to watch the Season Premiere of The Hills and The Aftershow with see Kristin Cavalleri.  We get to sit in the VIP Blogger area aka the Balcony and I feel super cool up there

The Hills was full of the usual drama… Frankenheidi’s debut to her mother (very sad to watch) and her family trying to understand and deal with their new “plastic” daughter.  It was actually pretty heartbreaking to see just how sad Heidi is. She just looks like a lost little girl and her family seems very worried, as they should be. Spencer seems even crazier than before and the whole crystals thing is bizarre. Audrina, Stephanie, Lo & Kristin went to Miami to bond – and then got in Kristin’s face about her alleged drug abuse…. oh to be young in LA….

We stuck around for The Aftershow and the warm up guy was pretty entertaining.  Can’t remember his name, but he was a funny guy.  Jessi had on  super fab dress that I can’t remember the designer of and Dan looked cute as always.  They were saying how nice and sweet Kristin is in person, but I had some preconceived notions about her… ok, I actually disliked her a lot and thought she was a bitch.  Then she came onstage and really did seem like a sweet girl.  Her valley girl voice is kind of annoying, but she was very charming and won me over.  She denied the drug allegations, talked a bit about Heidi’s new “look” and posed for photos during commercial breaks.

I had a super fun time and afterwards we headed over to Jack Astors for food and drinks.

Looking forward to seeing the girls tonight and I can’t wait to hear what Holly has to say about her sister, especially in lieu of the newest reports that Spencer has Heidi on lockdown and called the police on her mom.

Tune in tonight!

For the last couple of years I have been wearing Dolce & Gabana Light Blue perfume.  I got it as a gift from my old boss (and her lovely daughter) and it has been my staple scent.  I recently ran out and was thinking of trying a new, lighter scent for Spring/Summer and a few weeks ago was given a nice little prezzie from Casie of new perfume!

She had a bottle of Givenchy’s 2009 Limited Edition scent “Be Givenchy” and as soon as I spritzed it into the air (you know, to smell it) I knew it was my new summer perfume.  It’s a fruity, floral scent with a touch something musky.  I looked up the composition online and it says “Be Givenchy is created of lime, ginger and sour cherry in top notes, heart is floral and composed of honeysuckle, jasmine and orange blossom, while base introduces woody accords of cedar with musk and amber.” Perfect.

I’ve been spritzing it on in the morning and have gotten quite a few compliments on the light scent.  It’s very girly but the amber, cedar & musk really tones down the fruit scent.  I also love the bottle it comes in, a clear glass cube, with pink perfume inside, and a clear orange spritzer & lid.

I recommend Be Givenchy for a light, summer perfume.

Just had a great work hang with Casie.  We brainstormed a whole bunch and got a lot of things figured out.  I am feeling so positive and inspired about the future and our collaboration.

Last night’s Toronto Blog Stars event, put on by me/Fairlie Agency and featuring Casie, Raymi & Sean was a big success.  I’m really proud of all three of you for putting together such great presentations.  Thank you to everyone who came out to the event.

This week has been so crazy busy and I’m behind on work stuff so Show and Tell will be late, as will my wrap up of the event.

Here are some posts that Sean Ward, Romi, Melissa & Jane wrote about last night.

I got my hair fixed first thing on Monday and it’s back to pink for me.  Thank you so much to Matt at Brennen Demelo Salon for coming in early on a Monday morning, fixing my colour and styling my hair for the MTV event.  Then it was off to see my lady Krista Mae, makeup artist extraordinaire, to get my makeup done.  I felt like such a princess having people do my hair & makeup and put me in a pretty dress to wear.  I’m always the business person in the background, holding on to everyone’s stuff and it was such a nice change to be the one in the spotlight, so to speak.

My sister Kristin was able to make it out, which was so great.  I love going places with her and she looked hot in a blue suede dress.  My cupcake dress is by Peach Berserk.

Raymi, Michelle, Carol, Casie, Me, Kristin, Breanna

The first part of our fun day was to watch the interview with Kelly Cutrone of People’s Revolution.  Some of you may know her from her work on The Hills & The City.  She’s a fashion PR powerhouse and now a TV star and author.  I really wanted to meet Kelly in person and get a chance to talk to her, but she was on her promo tour for her book “If You Have To Cry, Go Outside” so she was whisked away to her next interview.  Kelly is one of my business idols and I can’t wait to read her book and hopefully have the chance to meet her in person one day.

After the interview the media/VIP’s went up to the Masonic Hall for a sneak preview of MTV’s new online magazine FORA.  Casie is the features editor of the magazine and she invited a whole bunch of bloggers and media including the Toronto Blog Girls.  It was so great to see all the girls out and dressed so pretty and I got to meet a few more Tweeps/Bloggers IRL.

The magazine will be live in April and the first issue is a Prom theme featuring dresses by Peach Berserk.  Casie & Kingi worked together to dress the Toronto Blog Girls for the event, hence the pretty dresses.  There were a few girls that were saying some nasty things about us dressing up on their blogs & twitter feeds.  Who knew that wearing pretty prom dresses would cause girls to act like we’re in high school?  I was pretty surprised that anyone invited to an event as media would be negative about us wearing dresses featured in the magazinebut I’ll chalk it up to jealousy because we all looked gorgeous.

They had a photo wall up for us to take “Prom Photos” and we all took advantage and hammed it up for the cameras.

Casie, Lisa, Michelle, Raymi, Kristin, Me

Dan & Jessi introduced the magazine and showed outtakes of their “celebrity photo shoot”.  These two are a great pair and they work together really well.

My sister and I had the chance to chat with Jessi and she’s such a sweetheart.  We were talking about her most interesting interview and she floored us when she said Tom Cruise!  Apparently he is really nice and down to earth in person.  Who knew?

After the preview we went down to Hemingways for some drinks and food.  It was such a great day and thank you to Casie & MTV for starting off my week with such a fun day.
