Pepsi Throwback @ Revival

On Tuesday Kristin and I went to the Pepsi Throwback party at Revival hosted by Keisha Chante and Casie Stewart.  My first Tweet-Up since TIFF last year.  We stayed long enough to have a couple Pepsi Throwback’s, watch 80′s band The Spoons and say Hi to some friends that I hadn’t seen in ages.  Then it was back to moving in to the new place.  I can’t wait til it’s all done and I’m settled in.

 

 

Here’s a video of the party made by Rannia aka @photojunkie.  Thanks to Casie for the invite.

SEXY MEN, SEXY FASHIONS and SEXY BASTARD SOCKS??

I received an invite to the Buckler SS/11 Preview last week but was unable to attend because I’m out of town.  So I asked my photographer friend Randi Lotsberg if she would go to take photos and do a guest post.  Thanks so much lady and I’m glad you had fun!

 

SEXY MEN, SEXY FASHIONS and SEXY BASTARD SOCKS??
by Randi Lotsberg

I had the pleasure of attending the Buckler Spring/Summer ’11 Collection Preview on Tuesday, April 4th at the Buckler Toronto Store.  I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect when I arrived and I was uber pumped when I was told “The models are over there, there are the outfits to choose from, dress them how you wish, take photos and have fun”.  Really?? At that moment I had a flash back of being a little girl, my very own life size Ken dolls to dress however I please…

The Andrew Buckler Spring/Summer 2011 collection was inspired by Bauhaus school and the 1924 Olympics. Creating a very modern style mixed with antiqued charm for the hip urban man seeking a
sophisticated, sharp look that can be dressed up or kept casual. The store offers everything the modern man needs for his wardrobe shorts, jeans, suits, blazers, t-shirts, sweater vests ( which look lovely on
women as well), cardigans, shoes, boots, underwear, socks, swim shorts, wallets, ties, bags and my fave the Sexy Bastard argyle socks.

Andrew Buckler has created an exquisite collection of men’s fashion that will have you wanting more, and exemplifies quality vs quantity You can feel the quality the second your hand makes contact with
the garments and the clothing isn’t mass produced so you won’t be bumping into a mirrored image of yourself in the city.

To keep with the 1920’s inspiration I felt it was suiting to give my photos a classic feel. Guys if you are looking to find your inner sexy bastard check out www.andrewbuckler.com or Buckler @ 700 Queen
Street West Toronto.

Vlitma Ratio

Last Thursday night I went to meet Lyall for the opening reception of our friend Zack Woods “Vlitma Ratio” show at the Art Bar at the Gladstone Hotel.  I was really impressed by his paintings and you should go and check them out while you can.  His show runs Nov 17-30.

These are my favourite paintings from the show.  For all the paintings check out my Picasa

I finally got to meet Lyall’s girlfriend who thought I was a made up friend because we’d never met before.  I was supposed to meet up with them a few times when they were in Toronto but didn’t end up going so she started calling me Polkaroo :) Chaddy was there and it’s honestly been at least a year since I’ve seen him.  And of course Taylor and Zack’s gorgeous wife Janelle (who is the woman in the bloody nose painting).  It was so great to see and hang out with you guys!

Date night with Casie

Last night I went to the Hotmail & Cocktails event as Casie‘s date.  It in the Distillery District and it looked so magical at night with the big Christmas tree and lights.  It’s the first I’d really thought about Christmas this year and I’m really looking forward to it.

The event was at Stirling, which I’d never been to and it was a pretty nice space.  The open bar was definitely a hit and they served us sweet potato fries, asian style vegetables & noodles and sliders.  And there was an amazing dessert tray which we conveniently sat beside.  Sooo good.  Hotmail seems to be pulling out some interesting new features – check out the #HMCocktails Twitter for all the details.  I’m a die hard Gmail user and I’m not sure I’d ever go back to Hotmail but they have definitely been paying attention to what their email users are saying.  Less spam, larger & easier attachments, better previews in mail and a Sweep function.

After the presentation we walked over to Betty’s for drinks and I got to meet Andy the iPad.  He’s the first iPad I’ve ever seen and I’m going to have to play around with one more before I really want one.

Casie I <3 you so much.  Thanks for taking me out on a date and holding hands across the table :) It was so great to hang out, have some girl time and catch up.

Tokyo Treats

In August Chad was with his band touring Asia.  They went to Singapore, Tokyo & Osaka and he brought me back a few things from Tokyo.  The Green Tea Kit Kat is really good and I wish they sold it in Toronto.  I’ve been saving one in the freezer to share with him when he gets back :)

He got me a mug from Tokyo Starbucks to add to our collection and a little Maneki Neko cat – which is believed to bring good luck to the owner.  It sits on the windowsill in front of my desk and I think it’s working.  I am so excited for him to come home and it’s only 5 more days.

Tonight is Nuit Blanche and it’s my first time going.  Casie is back from her NZFW travels and I’m going to meet up with her and some friends to go out.  It’s gonna be a really fun night and if you see us downtown come say hi!

My Bud Camp

Back in August Casie and I went to Bud Camp, courtesy of Andrew Gayle & Mosaic.  I posted the video but not any of the photos.  You can see all the photos HERE

We took the bus up with the Bud Girls and the whole group of them were really nice and fun.  It was a long ride and our cell phones stopped working about halfway there.  No service near Napanee and it was a race to see which cell company would work when we got to camp.  My Bell phone worked most of the way and I was able to get reception at some places in the camp.

First night was a party, they had a cover band from Quebec that were pretty awesome and we stayed got shuttled back to our bed & breakfast around 2am.  Didn’t get woken up on Saturday until 11am and we missed out on White Water Rafting (but we didn’t care).

We had the choice of staying in one of these cabins – no heat, hydro, bathrooms or at a bed & breakfast offsite.  We chose the bed & breakfast offsite & shared it with Brock & T-Rex (the 1 Love TO guys) and their friend Avery.

I’m clashing all over the place.  Red & pink all weekend.

Me with some babes

It was POURING rain and freezing cold, so we ate breakfast and sat in front of the fire.  Ended up meeting Colin & Troy, who also didn’t make it to rafting.  Colin runs Boonstock, which Hail The Villain played at on their summer tour and Troy is a crazy snowmobiler on Team Thunderstruck.  Ended up spending the day with them and a couple other people who didn’t make it to the activities, keeping dry & warm, drinking and walking around when there was a break in the rain.

This is me & Casie not 4 wheeling in the rain.

We seemed to be a bit of a novelty at the camp.  Non-Bud girls and Non-Winners.  Everyone wanted to take pictures with us.  These guys may or may not have just told us they found a bar close by.

This was our little chipmunk friend outside one of the cabins we hung out in.  He was super friendly and came right up and took nuts out of Troy’s hand.  Casie didn’t really like the chipmunk :)

This is Casie & I not doing Paintball – although we didn’t do the activities we had a blast.  I love doing Bud Camp our way.

And then the Vitamin water silly starts.

Guess who’s feet were cold and wet?

The food at Bud Camp was amazing.  They actually had vegetarian options and I was in heaven.  This was a veggie chili in a bread bowl and it saved my life after a day of drinking.  Eating this is what led to me not having to leave the party early :)

On Saturday night The Arkells played and it was my first time hearing them live.  I got to be up on someone’s shoulders for most of the show until security made us get down.  After the show was a huge fireworks display and then they lit a car on fire.  Crazy.  Everyone was cool at Bud Camp.  There weren’t any fights that I saw/heard of, people were just laughing, dancing and partying.

After the Bud Girls went back to their hotel it turned into an all guys dance party.  It was so hilarious to watch all the jocks try and show each other up.  Guys were doing flips, kartwheels, handstands and ripping off their shirts.  I’ve never seen anything like it and we couldn’t stop watching.  So crazy.

Thanks to Andrew Gayle and everyone at Mosaic & Bud Camp for taking us up there and showing us a great time.  I hope we get to go again next year and I hope we get to go on the Bud Light Cruise!

The Ladies at TIFF

This is the photo I was looking for from our FoMo party the other night.  I have such pretty friends :) Missing a couple of us. xoxo

TIFF Party at FoMo

Last Thursday Fairlie Agency talent Angela Cullins hosted a TIFF party at FoMo.  We had a great night and tons of people came out.  We drank Moet and had a few arm wrestling competitions.  I did not win :) After the Fomo party Me, Rhi, Krista, Carri, Adam & 2 of his friends went to the Casino Jack afterparty (no idea where it was).  I met Kevin Spacey and chatted with him for about 15 minutes.  He was a really nice and interesting guy.  We closed the bar down and headed over to McDonald’s for some late night food.  There was the craziest, bitchiest girl freaking out because she got the wrong chicken sandwich.  She was pretty rude and obnoxious and I really wanted to say something to her, but didn’t want to end up in a fight with some random crazy.  We had a super fun night and I’m so happy the ladies came out.  Love you girls.

It seems that there aren’t any photos of me, Carri, Krista & Rhianne – so if you guys have one send it to me so I can add it!

Here are some photos from FoMo and you can check out my Picasa for the rest of the images.

TIFF 2010 So Far…

Oh my goodness this has been a crazy 3 days.  I’m still in my PJ’s, recovering from the last few nights and saving up my energy for tonight’s festivities.  Here’s the photos I’ve taken and a recap of what I’ve been up to so far this TIFF.

Thursday was the Stella Artois party at the Drake SkyYard.  Met up with Casie and Much VJ hopeful Brock McLaughlin.  We got inside and there were a bunch of TO bloggers already there, Corey, Sean, Emma.  My bro & his gf ended up coming by and then Bucky, Matt, Randall from Much.  After the Stella launch we headed back to the beach to change and ended up hooking up with Rhianne & Carri and stayed in the East end for the rest of the evening.  Check out Sean‘s video of the event.

Friday was the Vitamin Water Backyard opening and Lauren gave me a VIP invite (thanks lady!)  Tons of social media/bloggers out and got to meet some new people and see some friends.  Love the backyard area and party tent.  There was plenty of Vitamin water to drink and they made some pretty nifty cocktails with the Vitamin Water & Vodka – I drank the pink one all evening :) Michael had an extra ticket to the premier of Stone starring Robert DeNiro, Edward Norton, Milla Jovovich & Frances Conroy.  It was a really good movie and the cast had a Q&A afterwards.  Then I headed over to Tattoo with some new friends Jenn, Brock, Courtney & met up with Curtis Santiago.  Slash was the guest of honour at Tattoo and I was hanging with my Dwight, the DJ in the booth right beside him.  I was 2 feet away but wasn’t able to meet him.  Too bad.

Love this girl.  Working hard.

Last night I went back to the Vitamin Water Backyard for The Conspirator after party.  Got to meet and chat with Justin Long – he was really nice but likes to take weird photos.  Afterwards went to the Soho House and met Dominic Cooper – but didn’t know it was him – and the crew behind the TIFF film Janie Jones.  After that I headed home and crashed.  Got a few places to go to tonight but am not sure if I’m gonna go out or not.

Have you guys been out at TIFF?  Seen anyone famous?

He really likes me….
