I Blame My Lack of Coffee on Katy Perry

July 2, 2011 by Racheal

I had just finished a meeting and realised I was near the Eaton Centre in downtown Toronto.  The pot for my coffee maker had broken and I'd been told Sears carries replacements, so I figured I'd pop in, grab one and get on with my day. Unfortunately, it was also the same day Katy … [Read more...]

A Fork in the Road

June 23, 2011 by Racheal

I'm taking a break from celeb interviews and fab photos to share something I've been struggling with for the past few days.  For the 5th time in 2.5 years I've been offered a job as the General Manager of a theatre company.  I'm starting to wonder if the universe … [Read more...]

David Suzuki on UrbanMoms

June 10, 2011 by Racheal

There's 2 problems with interviewing David Suzuki when you're at a big media bash: a) it's really, really loud and b) waiters keep thrusting trays of food in your face begging you to eat.So as we started chatting, grilled cheese, mini sliders and the perennial favourite, meat on a stick, were … [Read more...]

June 8, 2011 by Racheal

So I'm wracking my brain trying to think of what to get for Father's Day, when I realised that I was in the CBC building surrounded by awesome and dynamic men.  I figured I'd ask them. I eagerly approached Steven & Chris, thinking it'll be a slam-dunk, a no brainer -they'll have … [Read more...]

Kim Cattrall, Paul Gross & Me

June 3, 2011 by Racheal

I mentioned in the last post that I was at a press junket.  I explained what they're like, as well as why I sometimes mention Horse and Hound.  What I didn't really get into was what this one was for.  Private Lives, a smash revival of the Noel Coward classic, is coming to … [Read more...]
