MOAM BOOK CLUB
It’s summertime. Break out the books. Or iPads, or Kindles or Kobos….
NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS? SNIP SNIP
New year, new you. Or not. Forget about those pesky new year vows. Don’t buy the hype….buy the app! Cut the Rope is here. And it’s fabulously addictive….
THINK PINK
In case you hadn’t noticed – or had been living under a rock – it’s been a very Pink month. From staplers to mushrooms to cat food – it’s all about raising breast cancer awareness. Hell – even the NFL got in on the pink action. I happened to look up from my Words with […]
TIFF 2010. SPECIAL GUEST STAR BLOGGER
I have seen the future of TIFF and its name is Bruce Springsteen. Obviously I am not MOAM. I’m no Mother, but make no mistake: I am a Maven. It’s me, the special guest blogger – call me Mensch of all Mavens if you like. The arrival of Bruuuuuce put the TIFF in a tizzy […]
TIFF 2010. LIVE FROM THE GREENROOM: IT’S TUESDAY
A funny thing happened on the way to the Green Room….They stopped everyone from going inside. EVERYONE. No photos. No hangers on. No nothing. Why? Because the star of a documentary, here to do press for the film, about him, vanted to be alone. Not Brangelina. Not a Royal or any other visiting dignitary. Not Bill Gates. No, they closed the Green Room for…. Bruce Springsteen.
TIFF 2010. LIVE FROM THE GREEN ROOM: IT’S SUNDAY!
Barney’s Version & The Housemaid…..
TIFF 2010. LIVE FROM THE GREEN ROOM: IT’S SATURDAY!
Night of a thousand movie stars – and something for everyone! From old school classics to tween starlets, the joint was jumping… Robert Redord’s The Conspirator and Ben Afflek’s The Town.
TIFF 2010. LIVE FROM THE GREEN ROOM: IT’S FRIDAY!
The King’s Speech: brilliant, brilliant and brilliant. Trust: Intense, emotional, raw. With a side of creepy.
TIFF 2010. LIVE FROM THE GREEN ROOM: IT’S THURSDAY!
For audiences living in Toronto, only one thing matters: TIFF. And for me, it’s all about who’s in the Green Room. Essentially a glorified waiting room, the Green Room is where the celebs and their peeps stop in to shmooze and grab a glass of liquid courage en route from red carpet to Gala stage. This year finds stale popcorn, ferrero roche truffles… and me!!
MOAM Book Club
So before the summer unofficially ends on Labour Day, might I present some more MOAM Book Club faves. Warning: these are not what some would consider “beach reads”. They’re utterly depressing and devastating. In the best possible way.
