Busy bee




As most careers go, if you work hard you can be rewarded. The great thing about this job is the diversity and these past few weeks I have had my fingers in quite a few pots!

October brought on a Press Day tour for the Darjeeling Limited. I accompanied actor Jason Schwartzman and director Wes Anderson all over Toronto for the promotion of this wonderful movie. We started in radio at Mix 99.9 and AM 1010. Then it was north to Canada AM, back downtown for Entertainment Tonight Canada, ETalk, MTV live, Much Music, and, my personal favourite, The Hour. The two were wonderful and kind, as were the women of Fox Searchlight.

The following day I did a shoot for Canadian Business Magazine and Harry Rosen. The issue will be out in November. I did it last winter as well. I'm crossing my fingers that I can do a spring/summer issue...for no other reason than shooting in an ice rink and a curling rink is COLD!!

Last Monday I met Caroline McCann, a chef in Montreal. She was in the city doing an internet film promotion for Canadian Dairy Farmers and Cheese (you know the cheese is love campaign?). I did her hair and make-up for the job. She was a lovely woman!

Now I am in the middle of doing make-up for the Lise Watier cross-canada tour.

What I love most about these various jobs are the people. It is so great getting to know new people! From PR to Talent, everyone has been so wonderful!
