If anyone knows Toronto’s party scene, it would be Augustina
Get to know Partypm.com blogger Augustina by reading our Q & A below:
(Partypm) Tell us a little about yourself. What’s your background, where are you from?
(Augustina) Born and raised in downtown Toronto. I've moved around the city of Toronto a lot but I currently reside in King W Village/ Liberty Village. I love my area, its downtown, ten minutes from everywhere I want to go but with great parks around to walk my dog.

(Partypm) How did you get involved in the scene and how are you into it now?
(Augustina) I started stealing my older sister's ID at the age of 15 and ran off to every club in Toronto. I was a bit of a rebel when I was younger. Actually, a bit is an understatement. My family was involved in the club industry and right when I turned 17 I was asked to GOGO dance at a nightclub. After partying in Miami, NYC and Europe, I realized that I could no longer work at 19-23 nightclubs, I felt that I needed to step up my game. I have no concept of time but I believe it was right after my 20th birthday I started getting calls from industry friends asking me to GOGO dance at their parties and provide them with dancers as well. I rounded up some ladies, put together the costumes and Ta Da, before I knew it, Bambi World was born. Now I provide upscale nightclubs such as Lobby, Ultra, Century Room, Atelier, Cheval, Brant House Etc., with my very own brand of GOGO dancers for lack of a better word to call them. I hand sew all the costumes myself and run all aspects of the business myself, sometimes it gets to be a bit overwhelming but I’m a tough cookie!

(Partypm.com) What’s your idea of a good party?
(Augstina) I like to party in Toronto but my choice of party places is anywhere with a beach. I absolutely love beach parties! I love to travel and dance nights away on the sand with good music and good friends. I love beach house and tribal house but I am also truly an old school hip hop and R&B girl. Not a fan of large nightclubs, I like working in them but I hate attending them. I love lounge’s, I love the NYC scene, very chill.

(Partypm) What can readers expect from your blog?
(Augustina) Readers can expect to get real reviews from a real party go-er who has been around long enough and traveled enough to know a good party. I hope I make my readers laugh or at least smile and I really hope they enjoy my sense of humor and my cynical outlook on life, nightlife, the industry and everything else.
