I just received notice that But I Do won Best Music Video in Toronto! The film is the true story of someone who read my book, The Single Girl’s Guide to Meeting European Men, and used it on her trip to Europe. Big thanks to Steve Veale (pictured), festival director, and the 92 volunteers who helped me make it. I’ve …
This video captures the adventures I had in Toronto during the star-studded film festival. My short, But I Do, was playing at the Carlton Cinema.
Here is a red carpet pic before I attended my But I Do screening. I took my camera and filmed the fun craziness that went down during my trip for you all to see! When I’m done editing the footage, I’ll post the video.
I just arrived in downtown Toronto and look what I found at the Carlton Cinema! Good thing they didn’t ask me to do my poster pose right off the plane.
My short, But I Do,was just chosen for opening weekend at Toronto Independent Film Festival…“A headline event for micro and no-budget films.” With our Milky Way candy bar budget, I’d say we fit that description:) This festival runs alongside TIFF, a star-studded extravaganza. If you’re going to be in the area on September 7th along with Kate Winslet, Colin Firth …
At the Nordstrom Fall Sale, I found this leather jacket that’s the “hot new look.” As you can see, it’s almost identical to one I got when I was fourteen. I’ve worn it for over a decade, taken it all over the globe, and even used it in my travel makeup video. So hang on to old clothes that you …
Shout out to those planning a Hawaiian getaway. On Thursday nights, Waikiki is packed with a line of tricked-out lowrider cyclists as far as the eye can see. This friendly group invites everyone to join them, from biking buffs to biking virgins! For more info, go to the Thursday Night Cruise site.
At the Alzheimer Foundation’s hoedown, I was my grandma’s date. She declined an invite from “the looker in his 90s who still has a full head of hair.” She’s playing hard to get:) I’d never before seen an 89-year-old race her walker Mach 5 to get a front row seat for the band!
To me, summer never lasts long enough. Every day after work, I find the fun in each second of sunshine…boating, swimming, and surfing. Then I pack those balmy nights with dining, dancing and outdoor concerts. Before long, I completely tucker myself out. I was exhausted heading into a TV appearance. The circles under my eyes were so dark that I …
For the 4th, we went boat racing around the Island, saw dolphins jumping, watched 14 simultaneous fireworks displays from my friend’s lookout, and danced until dawn! Hope you all had a terrific time too.
My grandma’s 89th birthday party was quite the extravaganza. Even though she recently had a stroke, she refused to let that dampen her celebration. She asked me to make cupcakes, do her makeup with extra bronzer so it looked like she had just been on vacation, and teach everyone at her rest home a wheelchair dance. She invited family, friends, …
For many of us, summer officially began today! I travel a lot and even though this is what the calendar claims, the weather in certain places is begging to differ. I’ve fallen in love with the Ralph Lauren collection. As you can see, the line features brightly-colored pieces – from sundresses to sweaters – that look season appropriate. So with …
After trying to invent Stand Up Paddle Ballet, I thought it might be a good idea to get in condition before my next attempt:) Don’t be deceived by our instructor (right). Angela may look tiny and adorable, but her fitness classes are known to make men who can bench press 200 pounds groan in pain! The cutie on the left …
Stand up paddle yoga is all the rage. Since I’ve never done yoga, while I was in Hawaii, I decided to invent stand up paddle ballet. Mind you, I haven’t even danced ballet on dry ground in nine years, so I don’t know why I thought I could do it out on waves…but I figured I shouldn’t let a little …
