Think about your favourite person in the world. Go ahead...Think about them. Send them your kindest warmest wishes. Cocoon them in your fondest thoughts until every inch of your person is a beacon of good will. See? Nothing happened. It doesn't mean shit when YOU like someone, but when PAUSE likes someone, they get a BLOG! To this effect, welcome to Pause's newest addition tentatively called "Pause's Favourite People." This venue serves as a precision tool, designed to simultaneously condone much deserved accolades upon those who will now relish the giddy high of immaculate posterity, as well as heap shame upon those who did not quite make the cut. I know that, despite the nigh omniscient presence this blog has over over the internet, some of the people we don't choose as our favourites will still have to hear about it second and third hand. For those latent in this particular arena, I rest confident that a bitter wind gnaw at the very fibre of your being, leaving only your intuition to produce the slightest insight as to its foul reasoning...Whatever that means..
First on the roster: Cat Mazzotta. One thing I would like to clarify up-front is that Cat is not (as the above photograph would suggest) a ten year old kid. She is an artistic, motivated young woman in her late teens and the proprietor of a fantastic homegrown clothing brand, Kali Clothing. Unfortunately, the above was the only picture we could find of her wearing a Ninja Turtles costume, otherwise it would have been much more up-to-date.
Aside from being a great person to meet at the most recent clothing show, and giving us some tremendous advice as to how to further promote our brand in Toronto. (Get knives, and lots of them.) Here are a list of things that Cat has done for us that really went above and beyond:
- First round of Jager bombs were on her – and that's awesome – but the sea food dinner she caught and prepared at the same bar was over and above.
- Some guy was rude to Eric at the clothing show... lets just say he didn't see his family that night.
- Gave us one of her kidneys "Just in case we needed it later.”
- She cured my cancer. Straight up. I had a tumor and she dug it out with her stiletto. I was back on the dance floor in twenty minutes.
- She gave us the idea to have a 'Pause's Favourite People' blog.
- She's Banksy. Shhh.
- She shot JR. Shhh.
- She also shot 'What About Bob?'. Her cinematography was fantastic.
- She invented the moon. (Probably)
- Have you ever heard that you can only fold a sheet of paper in half 12 times? Well, that's actually true.
- She got me to stop smoking... as she was saving me and 14 orphans from a burning building. Thanks again Cat!
So that is where the bar is set if the rest of you would like to join the prestigious ranks of Pause's Favourite People. (And don't just copy the stuff that Cat did, or we'll know you're sucking up.)
