Wow. I can’t believe TIFF 2010 is over. Looking back on it, I don’t know how we managed to jam in so much to one week, but we did and boy was it worth it.
A few of my favourite memories from this year’s festival include:
IT LOUNGE:
-Having Yanic Simard and his Toronto Interior Design Group transform our offices into a gorgeous celebrity-gifting suite, and having over 100 celebrities come by to experience new products and tweet their support for APJ
-Watching Catherine Deneuve have her caricature done at the Sharpie booth
-Seeing Ed Norton modeling his brand new Fila Sweater
-Introducing Twilight’s Jackson Rathbone to the Kobo eReader
TORO AFTER DARK LOUNGE:
-Witnessing people taking advantage of the exclusive invitation-only pop-up destination at PEARS on the Avenue
-Witnessing Paul Haggis, Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin pile out of the Acura MDX at the same time to close down the Lounge
-When proud father David Cronenberg watched his daughter leave her own mark on Canada’s cultural scene at RED, a preview of the NY Times Canadian Photo Archive Exhibit curated by Caitlin Cronenberg
FUNDRAISER FOR ARTISTS FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE
-Feeling the support of Martin Sheen, Paul Haggis, Josh Brolin, James Franco, AnnaLynne McCord, K’naan, Maria Bello, Peter Tunney and Kathleen Roberston who created live-art on the red carpet in support of APJ
-Laughing while Martin Sheen showed his underwear (Ellen Degeneres boxer briefs!) on the promise of a $1,000 donation to APJ from Peter Tunney
-Raising over $100,000 to change the lives of children in Haiti
Before I sign out, I also want to update you that through our Follow for a Cause Twitter campaign, we were able to raise $4515 for APJ- super pleased about that!!!

We’re in the middle of festival and not slowing down anytime soon! I wanted to write a quick blog and to post some pictures so you can see what we’ve been up to in the lounge over the past few days!
Some of yesterday’s visitors to the IT Lounge included Martin Sheen (he couldn’t stop noshing on the Baker Street Pecan Pie Cheesecake!) and Fefe Dobson who glammed-it-up in her Ardell lashes.
After a busy day at the lounge, we switched locations and headed to PEARS on the Avenue (after a brief stop at the HELLO! Canada Red Carpet) for the Artists for Peace and Justice fundraiser. Words can’t express how incredible it was (or how incredible everyone looked- LOVED The always sweet AnnaLynne McCord’s copper wire serpent cuff from Dagmar!). The support for this charity is incredible and watching everyone on the red carpet contributing to the canvas Peter Tunney had created made it interesting and special. Funny anecdote from the evening? When Peter Tunney said he’d make a $1000 donation to APJ if Martin Sheen showed him what kind of boxers he was wearing! Including the trouser dontation, we crunched the numbers and I am so proud to announce that we raised close to $100,000! How incredible is that?!
How can you do your part for Haiti? Jump on board for our Follow for a Cause Campaign- for every new @natashnkpr follower until Sept. 15th, I’ll donate $5 to Artists for Peace and Justice.
The air is buzzing, the energy is high and the space is amazing – the IT Lounge is back and better than ever.
After our most successful media day yet (press LOVED lounging in the specially designed vestibules from the Toronto Interior Design Group!), our second day at the IT Lounge was incredible. After a long flight from L.A. to Toronto Paul Haggis stopped by the lounge where he chatted up a storm with the folks at Kobo while learning how to use his eReader. Kathleen Robertson spent some time getting even more gorgeous with the girls at Stila and will look stunning walking the red carpet at tonight’s A Night for Dying Tigers premiere in her 22-karat Victorian earrings from Dagmar.
Tiffany Hines was delighted with her natural lashes from Ardell and at-home waxing kit from Andrea- talk about being close-up ready! Kardinal Offishall loved his stylish ride to the lounge, courtesy of Acura’s VIP Car Service.
Two of the funniest things I’ve seen in while happened at today’s lounge. First, watching New York-based artist Peter Tunney garbed in a Fila ’91 Mesh hoody and pants doing karate chops and kicks throughout the lounge. A close second was watching Toronto FC captain Dwayne De Rosario get styled with the Goody Simple Styles Spin Pins.
Okay I must go. I have to get ready for a night at TORO After Dark at PEARS on the Avenue (after grabbing another slice of Baker Street’s Pecan Pie Cheesecake, of course).
Have a great night and see you around the festival!
