A BANG (ing) TIFF event with Coty at Brassaii!

Saturday night saw Christelle and I making our way to Brassaii at 461 King Street in Toronto to attend the Coty holiday preview.  Some of the fragrances are out already which you can see here and others that are still on their way - lots of florals - which is good for you floral lovers - and of course lots of beautiful bottles!  I encouraged Christelle to eat a lot (not that it requires much prompting) because I wanted the cute waiter to keep coming by and we had a great time people watching - some crazy looking people attend these things!

If you ever thought being a model might be glamorous, get that notion out of your head right now!  You get to wear crazy hats, bubble wrap dresses and wander around in high heels for hours spraying unsuspecting people with fragrances - like department store fragrance ladies but nakeder! Before you call a fashion intervention, the BANG girls were just doing their job to promote the new Marc Jacobs fragrance called, you guessed it, BANG!  You'll find it at Holt Renfrew this month and at Shoppers Drug Mart, Murale, The Bay, London Drugs, Jean Coutu and Sephora in October.  It is a really different smelling fragrance, very peppery!  It has top notes of black, pink and white peppercorns, a heart of masculine woody notes and a base of elemi resinoid, benzoin, vetyver, white moss and patchouli - it is definitely unlike anything I can remember smelling before.  It retails for: 50ml EDT - $69, 100ml EDT $95, 150ml After Shave Balm $67, 75g Deostick $32.

And as it's Toronto Film Festival season, the Coty party was followed by a TIFF party for "It's Kind Of A Funny Story" where the very lovely Emma Roberts was in attendance

as well as Zach Galifianakis - why it couldn't be a party for someone pretty like Taylor Lautner or hunky like George Clooney I just don't understand...!
