Please Give to Dare to Wear Love

This Friday is the closing night gala of Toronto Fashion Week, the 3rd Annual Fashion Show Dare to Wear Love.

Top Canadian designers create one-of-a-kind dresses from African fabric, which are worn down the runway by Canadian celebrities (look for Casie!).  Money raised goes to the Stephen Lewis Foundation which helps mothers, grandmothers and orphans with AIDS in Africa.

Click here to donate.

It’s founded and hosted by my old pals Chris and Jim of Hoax Couture.  When I moved to Toronto in 2008 and knew no one, they took me under their wing and helped install me into the city.  We played poker, went to Caribana and Chris got me to cook one time.

I attended their first year and filmed a ‘Canadian Explorer’ episode, Exploring Fashion Week.

(Click here and here for the original posts. And yup, I really did get kicked off stage ha)

Good luck fellas! It’s gonna be great.

I Only Run in Forests

Running along a straight road is the most boring thing a human could do.

I prefer forests.

Every route is different, there’s no one around, and here’s the kicker: you’ve no time to think about how tired you are, how much you want to stop running… you’re too busy trying to not hit your face into a tree.

I also think it’s more effective than the spending time in a gym.

MY FITNESS THEORY: Imagine I take a set of twins. I give Bill manual labour to do for three months, and Phil a dumbbell and gym routine. At the end of the 90 days I pit them against each other in a snow shovelling competition. Bill would win for sure.

(from this post: Why I Like Parkour)

Click here for forest running stories from my ‘The Canadian Explorer’ days, including when I was crossing a river on a tree and it broke underneath me.

Get outside and be IRL.

Leave your phone behind when you do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm Flush with Internet Again

Home again home again, jiggety jig.

I love airports, a lot.

Have a post drafted here titled, “I Love Aiports”. I even have a whole category here dedicated to them.

I do the exact same thing upon arriving at my new location: unpack and install myself into my new home.

  1. I only own socks that look like that
  2. I collect hotel room keys for a Smarten Up, Internet video; you’re going to be surprised at the information on them
  3. Been expanding my cutlery collection
  4. Those 12 year old bags have travelled around the globe a few times. I love Tumi.

A travel-tips-video-mini-series has been playing in my head, maybe I’ll make it. Because I need _more_ to edit :|

Travel tip: leave your place clean so when you return it’s a smooth installation.

Hi from West Virginia, I’m here for a bit.

(note: the fastest way to ever find me is on Twitter: @KeriBlog)

I have 80% reliable internet connection for the foreseeable future, which I consider amazing. 100% connectivity on the road is tough.

It’s never that lucky though, it’s me.

My iPhone lost it’s mind yesterday, look at my lock screens yesterday.

I couldn’t even answer the phone. I’m hoping I can wipe a bunch of information to give it more room to think, but think I may have to wipe and rebuild the whole thing. So again, instead of editing I’m debugging.

I’ll be back-blogging the last 4 days so get ready to scroll.

TTYL
