Toronto International Film Festival Stars Spotlight MMCrystal Jewelry

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Toronto jewelry designer MMCrystal has been selected to adorn the stars of E-Talk Daily and Entertainment Tonight Canada during the world-renowned Toronto International Film Festival, running September 10-19, 2009.

Hosts from Global TV’s popular ETCanada entertainment-news show, including Cheryl Hickey, Rosey Edeh, Arissa Cox and Kim D’Eon, will be wearing selections from MMCrystal’s newest collection, officially released just a few weeks ago. Preparing for the show’s televised red-carpet and gala interviews, Global’s stylist Maggie Bill selected MMCrystal over numerous other designers vying for the spots. “Your jewelry is going over wonderfully,” she said to designer Michelle Merizzi.

And as Tanya Kim’s stylist for E-Talk Daily, Jessa Bissett had only a few comments as she browsed the collection of Swarovski-crystal earrings, necklaces and bracelets during a trip to MMCrystal’s Mississauga office. “Oh, want that… oh yeah, want that too!”, she said as each selection was presented for the media celebrity’s appearances.

MMCrystal is no stranger to the show’s stars. In addition to being the jewelry of choice for red-carpet appearances during ETCanada’s many award-show events (including the Grammies, Emmys and Oscar-night interviews), Cheryl Hickey personally selected MMCrystal’s exclusive fashions for the bridesmaids at her own wedding last year. Merizzi recently remarked “My jewelry has a much more fabulous social life than I do!”

MMCrystal fine crystal jewelry is available at select boutiques and retailers throughout Ontario, and is featured in several national rewards programs and lotteries in Canada. Contact information plus recent and classic items from the jeweller’s collections are found on their website at http://www.mmcrystal.com

Sean Buckley and MMCrystal at TIFF

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

Standing under the stars ( – and I guess beside them!) we saw producer-director Sean Buckley and his beautiful wife Jennifer coming in (more Oakvillians!).Turns out sis is good friends with Jennifer’s best friend Jo.  (I can feel the world shrinking!)

I was so happy to see Sean again, since I worked with him in my days as a makeup artist.  As the head of Buck Productions, he’s excited about exec producing Defendor and his ongoing involvement with Darius Films.

Sean also produces and directs a television show called “Rich Bride Poor Bride”. And since Maureen and I were live models for MMCrystal jewelry (along with most of the girls of ET Canada ), Sean was thrilled at the idea of using MMCrystal on the show. “Oh Michelle, that’s so great,” he said. “Your stuff is perfect for some of our brides!”

Sean also has the ultimate wedding planner available – for all you brides in the throes of planning, it’s an invaluable tool.

I’ll have more great stuff later – off to bed now!

TIFF Stars and MMCrystal Sparkle at Defendor's After-Party

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

More on ET Canada’s Defendor party, a little bit of Miami on a downtown Toronto rooftop.

Marianne WisenthalWhile we were chatting with Rosey and Kim D’Eon, she introduced Marianne Wisenthal, the Montreal-based editor for Vitamin Daily. Marianne wanted to  know  if MMCrystal is available in Quebec for her upcoming wedding to ET Canada’s exec producer. We don’t have a distributor in Quebec yet, so I told her to contact me directly and I’d hook her up with whatever she likes for herself and her bridesmaids.

I got the chance to talk with Dina Pugliese, the stunning co-host of Breakfast Television. You know, as good as she looks on the screen, she’s even more beautiful in person. Literally sparkling with personality as well as her great smile.

By this time the party was really starting to heat up, my sister was standing at the bar beside Woody Harrelson. Cute, she said. Yeah, I said, I just met Jian Ghomeshi from CBC”s “Q”. Double cute.

Anne-Marie MediwakeWe saw Anne-Marie Mediwake from Global News  by the bar and had to tell her how sorry we were to hear that she’s leaving Global News. She lives in Oakville too, not far from Maureen’s current home. We  will miss her on the show,  but with triplets at home…..a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do!

But we weren’t leaving the party yet… more TIFF news and pics coming tomorrow!
