planes dragging ads all over the place. nothing is sacred, not even the sky.

i spy a wicked bruise, a curb trip casualty knee graze and “the line” on my thigh (athletic toneage). mom got her own special white wine and then i got to hear the ten billionth exact same account of the first time she puked on red wine story. we gossiped about the juiciest shit this evening, very enjoyable evening, it was very windy and balmy and breezy. then i gave lois an intense half hour aquatic aerobic class.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5937402774/in/photostream/

then i got drunk on the last morning and stayed drunk all day and ditched the girls at one point to get into my own mischief. it was that bottle of champagne i found in the hallway. then i had a real bottle of one. it was a fairytale vacation.

ugh he was a bit gross. lois was about to pry him off me.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5937402396/in/photostream/

mom rips off my entire style, here she is trying to wheel and deal me giving her my steve maddens. FUCK YOU! get your own shit. so the last day they went across town to the OTHER steve madden store so she could jock me. pfft. it’s cos i got such a great deal and could walk in them. we have the same tolerance and lack thereof of heels so when we find a pair it’s a big deal.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5936844673/in/photostream/

she hadn’t seen this dress i bought and eyes lit up holy shit. lois was like yup, get it. i regret passing up that amazing purple one. that store was aggravating me with its obnoxious music and when a diva dude employee pounced on me for having all these items in my room cos i was sick of waiting and being ignored by the one clerk i said fuck it and took the onus on myself to get shopping done in the middle of an anxiety attack no less. i said if you have rules you must be around to enforce them (6 things at a time? time waster!) and by the way, your customer service here leaves much to be desired. rude! the other girl immediately and mysteriously became overly nice to us after that while we browsed the jewelry and sunglasses. i liked her to begin with it was this other lazy sloth that was unrighteously snotty and navigating the understaffed retail vortex, refusing to be of aid. i like to in and out it, i don’t like obstacles. employees who mess with that are a bother. let me help you be better: piss off unless you are helping me.

  1. You look amazing in that red lifeguard outfit. Beautiful long legs, wish mine were longer…

  2. do lots of stretching, loosen your joints, yoga exercise. you can lengthen. stand with great posture, don’t hunch. there are tricks to appearing taller. i like to think i stand taller than 5’8, can deceive some into thinking i am 5’11. thanks alien!

  3. Great collection of photos, Raymi-age. It almost looks like a chronological tour of your vacation. You SO brought the hotness as well. No offense, but after seeing your Mom, it’s pretty easy to see why you do (bring the hotness.)

  4. Hey Raymi,

    Just got back from The Loews Santa Monica, so pretty. Planning on staying at The Leows Miami next month. May I ask how much you payed for the 18th floor suite, the terrace looks amazing.

    Cheers,
    Jenny.

  5. depends if you are going off season or not. i won’t tell you what we paid but i will tell you it’s the difference of $400. we got a deal and comped nights.
