Cars, Security & a Peek into my Life

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.

Wish Big Today Ladies

Happy Women’s Day! I got you some flowers.

That is happening, plus it’s a full moon tonight, and also it’s the 8th of the month, “Tara Day”: mother of all the Buddhas.

And one more: the planet Venus was unusually close to Earth 10 days ago.

All that adds up to a day where wish magic is strong and powerful.

So wish and dream big today ladies!!

I wish for all your dreams to come true.

And always remember: girls have to stick together.

Love,

2 Years Ago Today We Won the Olympic Hockey Gold

Remember when we dominated the Winter Olympics at Van2010?! YA buddy.

This was the final day of the Games, and…

…our 16th Gold, more than any other country, EVER.

GO CANADA GO!

I was making videos for Sun Media, writing for Vancouver 24 Hours newspaper, running around looking good because Canada Goose kitted me out… Van2010 was the best.

This was my final article.

I love how this was known around the wolrd as “The Party Olympics”.

Simultaneously, we set the record for the most gold medals ever won at a Winter Olympics.  Sums us up pretty well, eh?

This was our coming out party, Canada!

It’s important to keep this patriotic momentum going; we’ve been humble for long enough about being the best country in the wold.

You know those times when you got goosebumps during the Games, or when your eyes welled up?  When you were holding your breath and forgetting to blink while you willed us to victory?

That feeling, that’s the one that needs to be celebrated and screamed a little louder.

I don’t want to leave here.  I want to live in this bubble forever.

Thank you Vancouver, for showing me the time of my life.

See you soon.
I’m so coming back.

xoxo,
Keri
