I just got back from Vancouver, where I took a weekend intensive with one of my favourite acting coaches, Jeb Beach. The weekend was about preparing for pilot season and it certainly was an eye-opening experience to play within all the different genres of the various Networks and streaming sites, as well as to hear […]

So the photo for this Newsfeed is with the first Meme I’ve ever created. Kind of fitting as Star Wars IV was probably the first movie I saw in a movie theatre. So, will there be spoilers in this Newsfeed? Yeah, probably, but I say, if you haven’t seen the new movie by now then […]

My 73 year old mother took me to Disney World this past week. She also took my four children and we managed to take in four days at the parks while resting in-between at the pool in a resort. This all came about at a time in my life when I was calculating savings for […]

I did something I said I would never do again…theatre. “But Stephanie”, you might say, “Didn’t you get a degree in Theatre?” Well the answer is yes, I’m still a strong believer that an actor needs to spend time on stage as this is the very root of acting. The skills you develop in memorization, […]

While driving in the car, my nine year old daughter reading a book for “Tweens”, called from the back seat, “Mom, what’s a broad?” “It’s another name for woman,” I started, “But it’s not a totally accepted term; some see it as derogative…” Now I was stumbling. “Ah…some people don’t like that term, they think […]

I have four children and my youngest just had her 5th birthday party and invited her friend Daphne, a girl that has claimed my son, Max, as her boyfriend. At the party the two were inseparable, they held hands and cuddled and she continually kissed him to the point I asked, “Um, do you guys […]

My day job is at a radio station and because of that I get to meet people in the business. I recently got a pretty cool client: The Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp (Toronto). For those who enrol in the camp, you get to work with “camp counsellors” made up of rock greats. This particular […]

Did you hear that the Justin Bieber Calvin Klein ads were um…enhanced? His biceps and…um…underwear, were enlarged to give us the ad we all take a second look at on billboards. Another unbelievable account of Photoshop portraying a perfect body image that isn’t at the peak of perfection, because that’s what we expect from our […]
