Chanel adds major bling & armed guards to its TIFF celebrity suite

Now in its sixth year of coifing, painting and outfitting celebs for their red carpet appearances at the Toronto International Film Festival - plus strutting its elegant stuff at exclusive events in its Bloor St. W. boutique - Chanel has managed to top its engagement and PR threshold this time around. 'Fine jewelry worth well into the six figures' was flown from Paris, Anny Kazanjian, XD public relations and fashion promotion, tells Media in Canada. And, say folks who've been to the suite, the bling is being watched over 24/7 by guards with sub-machine guns.
