Last week, the Mississauga Independent Film Festival (MIFF) held it's opening party gala at the Art Gallery of Mississauga (AGM). Of course, since our blog-friend and name-twin Kat Inokai had the inside scoop on the invite, I jumped at the chance to go with!
And since Kat and I are hatching our master plan, this was a perfect chance for us to walk the red carpet and photo-op....
Here's miss K getting pampered before we walked the carpet (not shown, crutches).
Kat, festival coordinator Matt Campagna and I (shown, crutch/clutch).
Stunningly beautiful writer/director/actress Danelle Eliav who's short The Girl and the Spanish Boy blew me away (more with her another time!).
MIFF was great fun, and Kat and I even created our own hashtag at the event #MILFSATMIFF. By all accounts, all the films were fan-freaking tastic, and I can't wait to see where they'll go post-festival.

So, just an update for you guys. This situation has gone from bad to OMGWTFBBQSVU.
A Los Angeles judge Friday, ordered an investigation into the well-being of Jacko's three kids (Paris, Prince—aka Royal—and Blanket), and that matriarch Katherine is handing guardianship over to Tito Jackson's adult son, TJ.
Judge Mitchell Beckloff ordered that each of the children be interviewed separately and that the ONLY person who gets to see the interviews is the judge himself. No lawyers. No plaintiffs. No one.
This co-guardianship is supposedly to ease Katherine's day-to-day burden and put most of the child-rearing onus on TJ. She will still manage the monthly finances of the family.
According to them, the 10 day "spa stay" was just that—and Grandma Katherine has been overwhelmed and overworked taking care of the Jackson Three so this is all very welcome to her.
However.
Katherine's caregiver (she's in her 80s!) and nephew says that she's been lied to and, "bamboozled." I think this co-guardianship is to protect her (Katherine) from her own children. Having someone young and with his wits about him who won't be forced to a "spa" retreat is a good thing.
I'm both confused and intrigued by this situation. I'm so curious to know how it will play out, yet totally sure we'll never get the full story.
