There
are a few major events in Toronto that you couldn't miss if you
tried. The streetcars are doubled, the hotels are bursting with
guests and whichever area happens to be the location for the event, braces itself for the onslought. Soaring high above most of the
buildings around it is the TIFF Bell Lightbox at the intersection of
King West and John Street, and anyone who's anyone has been through
there this week for the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival.
From
Kristen Stewart and Jennifer Lawrence partying at the Soho, to Snoop
Lion and Elton John hosting major parties in the downtown core, the
city is swarming with celebrities and their hangers-on, causing all
of the Torontonians to adjust their own behavious accordingly –
choosing a different coffee shop for the week, or taking a different
route home from work to avoid the gridlock of limosines, cabs and
luxury cars.

It
was big news when the recently newsworthy when K-Stew decided to make
her first public appearance since the Snow White scandall at the
premier of “On the Road,” based on Jack Kerouac's famous novel by
the same name (drool, by the way... I must see this as soon as
possible.) If you're into the celebrity hunt or just love good cinema
and want to get out to some of these events, I recommend you look up
the Globe and Mail's coverage of all of the screenings, parties,
galas and events on a daily basis. Their coverage can't be matched.
OH and
dress your best if you're walking around downtown this week or you'll
be sure to stand out! The clothes and accessories I've seen on King
Street over the past few days has been impeccable.
Until
next!
