Good Times in Toronto

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.

Festival Time

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.

Hope You’re Coming to Toronto Film Fest

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 …

Recycled Fashions

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 …

Travel Flash

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.

Farewell Fox Island…Hello Real World!

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.

Stand Up Paddle Ballet

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 …

Los Angeles Movie Awards

They are going on today and I am so thankful to be honored here as the director of But I Do, joining a group that has included Ron Howard, Samuel Jackson, Hayden Christensen, Sandra Oh, and Rossana Arquette. Besides the fact that they’re famous, there is another minor difference between other winners and me:) Their staffs involved experienced professionals, from …

Meeting Men in Canada!

Last weekend while I was in Vancouver BC for Shaw TV, I went around town filming men chatting about women. I can’t wait for you to meet them. When I’m done editing the video, I’ll post it.

IT’S TV TIME!

Canada, I’m so happy to be back!! I just finished filming a segment on Shaw TV with the hilarious comedian Patrick Maliha and the lovely host Fiona Forbes. All you Canadians can catch it at 10PM tonight. Vancouver-ites can also watch it then and at 12 midnight, 2AM – for those night owls – or 10AM tomorrow on Channel 4. …

Jet Setters, Listen Up!

I met the fantastic Kate Somerville. Since I’m on the road so much, she gave me terrific tips for skin care on the go, followed by a complimentary DermalQuench Oxygen treatment from one of her product specialists. Many of the stars get this airbrush facial before having their makeup done for big events like the Oscars. It nourishes the skin …

An International Event

Here I am entering an after party. The Canada International Film Festival was truly international. I met a director whose crew is currently filming in Iran, several Los Angeles producers, and an actor who flew in from India. The festival screened his 221st film!

It’s Award Time!

I just won the Royal Reel Award at the Canada International Film Festival for my music video But I Do!  A heartfelt thank you to everyone who gave time, talents, venues and equipment to make this possible. Love you all!
