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

Me, Carri, Krista & Rhianne

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.

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….

Yesterday was 4/20, as you probably all know.  I cut my work day short and went to meet Casie at work so we could go to the Hot Box Cafe and watch Raymi & The Harlettes perform.  It was a beautiful day and we met up with Sabrina and Alex on our way.  I was feeling so happy and inspired walking down Queen in the sun, with 3 babes.

We got to Hot Box and I got ID’d!  It made my day even better that I don’t look 19.  There was an awesome reggae band playing when we first got there – the guys name was Sun Ray (sp?) – and a ton of cool peeps hanging out and doing their 4/20 thing.

They had a munchies menu and servers walking around the patio with trays of drinks, sandwiches and brownies. I had the yummiest vegan sandwich – tomato, avocado, sprouts, cucumber & spicy hummus – and a pink lemonade.

We watched the Harlette’s perform on the rooftop (hard to get a clear photo) sans Raymi – she danced in the earlier performance which you can see on her blog HERE.  And then Chesty LaRue did a solo performance.  She is hot and a really great performer.  I love burlesque dancers and always wanted to be one.  Maybe I’ll try it out someday.

After Harlettes 2 members of The Salads performed an acoustic set, which was awesome.  We sat on the patio in the sun for a couple hours and then Shaun came in with a nice surprise before he went to get tattooed.  I love Shaun, he’s a real sweetheart and one of my favourite people.

Casie & I finally left around 6:30 and walked down to Queen to go home.  She told me about this great store where everything is $12.99 so we went to check it out and I got two cute dresses, a new spring/summer jacket and a really pretty purple shirt.  Then we went for a romantic dinner at Chez McD’s where I got my weird version of a Big Mac.  I called it the Fry Mac cause it’s a Big Mac with no meat.  You wouldn’t believe the strange looks I get from staff and other customers when I ask for no meat.  I guess it’s a pretty weird thing to get, but McDonald’s has yet to come out with a veggie burger.  It was such a great hang.  Casie you’re just a little ray of sunshine in my life

After dinner I hopped on the streetcar to go home and was back in time for Glee!  The Power of Madonna episode is the best one I’ve seen all season and it really empowered and inspired me even more.  There is something about Madonna that makes you feel like you can do anything.  All the songs they covered were amazing – I loved Express Yourself, What it Feels Like for a Girl and my favourite of the night was Like A Prayer with a full choir!  That song is so powerful and it was the perfect ending to my day.  I can’t find the visual clip but here is an audio version for anyone who didn’t get to hear/see it.  Lea Michele can really sing and all of the cast are so talented.

Last Thursday I was invited to Notable TV’s preview of the new Samsung 3D TV, with my sister Kristin.  As always, Julian Brass puts on a fabulous party, and this time we were at Andrew Richards Design.  You may remember I went there for the afterparty for Cabbie’s Ping Pong Tournament.  We met up with Casie, Sean, Sabrina, Chris and I ran into Maria from Warner Canada.

Kristin wrecked her just painted nails on the way to the party and it looked like a 15

The ladies of Kissette were there to DJ and they definitely set the party mood.  We had blueberry martinis, my first time having Hypnotic…haha,  and watched Monsters vs Aliens and Soccer on the 3D TV’s.

What’s neat about this TV is that it is a regular 46″ 2D HDTV and you push a button to turn on 3D mode.  It comes with 2 pairs of 3D glasses, that plug into your TV to charge, a 3D Blue Ray player and a copy of Monsters vs Aliens in 3D.  What’s really cool is that the TV does 2D to 3D conversion, so you watch non-3D movies in 3D!!!  The demonstrater (I forgot his name, sorry!) said that it works best with animation, but you can try your live action movies or shows as well.

One thing I didn’t like was wearing the glasses.  They’re like the wraparound sunglasses and were too big for my head.  I wonder if they make adjustable ones, or different sizes?

It was a great night and thanks to Julian and Notable TV for inviting us out to such a great event!
