meet MoSheTa Salon & Spa ready for a mani/pedi? don’t you hate assholes who say that? something about older women regressing to baby speak really makes my skin crawl. appys too. barrrrf. a little bg info as to why i can all the sudden quit a job then plunge immediately into high-rolling lifestyle is sites like fabfind exist. they’re like an aggregate website pooling all these products, services, businesses in the city you can cruise through for deals and they send out an email blast (only) once a day giving you a head’s up on specials sales cheap shit you get the point and mosheta is one of the many businesses a part of that. also, mosheta loved me so much which equals love to you guys too so for the next week you can get 20% off any service they offer if you drop my name. ok lets do this i haven’t had a pedicure since i was 20 years old and my mom had to force it on me.

first, this woodland elf needs an outfit. is it hot is it cold? i wanted to wear tights and super short shorts but i remembered i was getting my feet did so that wouldn’t work.

so i went the route of gap ad pretentious preppy rich girl d-bag.

love the fuchsia pink girly theme and the graffiti font makes me nostalgic for that shitty catholic high school i went to for a year before i went to public high school.

then the mania hit me what do i want what do i want??? the stand on the right is for sale, the display to the left is what you choose from. i love that convenience, if you dig your shade enough just buy a bottle of it.

the even temper of my outfit requires something out there. next time i’m getting minx nails. dunno why i spaced on that so hard yesterday? i want plaid nails.

i was a nice guy and removed my polish at home. not on my toes though. don’t get greedy mosheta.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/4992868169/in/photostream/

i already own my favourite shade of pink making it impossible to settle on another pink cos there are so many to choose from and i felt like it would be barely noticeable anyway…so hard.

the guy who did the mural spelled vajazzle wrong (how can you spell an already made up word wrong? well i guess that’s exactly how) but hello this place vajazzles!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/4992870075/in/photostream/

cozy and sumptuous ahhhhhhhh here i come.

fashion television was on no matter i was spazzing on my phone and talking about myself like crazy. yesterday was supposed to be relaxing more like complete opposite. so much drama. being an entrepreneur? your own boss essentially can get a little overwhelming and intense especially when things pile up. the dreamer in me is whining because now it’s crunch time and i have to be organized, something my entire life i’ve avoided being. i am a child.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/4993477968/in/photostream/

plunge. these little foot baths have lights that turn disco colours and have jets like your feet were invited to a hot tub party you weren’t, who gets jealous of their own feet is that even possible to be jealous of a part of your body, jealous of yourself? woah time to get stoned a door in my brain just opened like when i learned about guy gold diggers recently. remind me to discuss that.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/4992870905/in/photostream/

this makes me crave listerine. ew.

you can judge a place based on their coffee. this place gets an A+. showed melodie my pics when i went over to redd to oversee her hair job afterward and she said oooh that’s a good cup of coffee. she’s a coffee snob so she is an expert. i am too, espresso-based coffee yes please.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/4992873057/in/photostream/

terry the owner is hilarious, laid back, eccentric, good vibe off him AND it was actually his birthday yesterday. i gave him my camera and said excuse me can you take my picture then demanded a few more, didn’t know he was the owner at this point but i had a feeling he might be. i like when owners try to trick you and play meek servant as they bring you your coffee. nice try there terry. he played along all the same, i said sorry, i’m very bossy and demanding he’s all what are the photos for and then i sucked all the air out of the room, boy, do i have a story for you….

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/4993480594/in/photostream/

the salon is very cozy. cozy modern if there’s a thing that’s it.

when she slapped my legs i pretended she really hurt me then i felt bad cos she immediately blubbered apologies. come on look at me obviously i am fucking with you.

my toes look lovely, the final product i mean.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/4993483154/in/photostream/

so then i wanted this colour for my hands but manicurist suggested gel nails instead, last way longer.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/4992876309/in/photostream/

oh great now i have to decide all over again. i am impulsive. i figure things out right away or i take aaaaaaaages settling. there is no middle ground. i suffer so.

still looking. wasting the world’s time one minute at a time.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/4993484730/in/photostream/

ooooooh i should have chosen that.

either there was a miscommunication or i was hallucinating but i was under the impression by now that i was getting extensions so i settled on this simple clear sparkle polish then my girl said no extensions once she was already painting. it wasn’t wild enough so i said ok now you have to give me swarovski crystals otherwise no one will know i got a manicure. this is why i never get manicures i see it as a waste of money why bother i can just do it myself? i think it’s one part cheap but mostly i don’t know how to relax properly. it’s the experience and the pampering that’s also the point of the experience.

the girl at the end was getting minx nails. you’d think that company would be ringing me up already seeing as we have a similar brand name.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/4993490800/in/photostream/

dry lights. i hope these didn’t tan my hands they’re getting old enough looking as is you’re never supposed to get sunlight on your hands. a lady’s hands and neck age her big time i mean you can always tell age by these things so treat them well, baby them, or hide them like crazy. my hands are super tanned from cycling this summer.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/4992885301/in/photostream/

jordaan took these. everyone was having fun with the olympus pen i didn’t even have to ask anymore thanks guys for doing that.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/4992885575/in/photostream/

it’s been a night and morning later and not one crystal has come off. i did swarovskis before and they all popped off, you need someone to do it for you.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/4992890155/in/photostream/

made everyone go out for a photo (bossy and demanding) and saw this kid. now that’s a commitment to your look, he’s too young to have a career and that hair isn’t cheap so i assume every paycheck goes straight to his clothes and hair. awesome.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/4992890453/

i want pink streaks too.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/4993497926/in/photostream/

mosheta is right by shanghai cowgirl. i was late and a creature of habit and i have to know precisely where everything is located, didn’t have time to check the address on my way out the door so i just remembered shanghai and this pink sign, impossible to miss.

i bet my niece would love to have her nails like this. i’m going to spoil the hell out of her on her birthday this year. turning twelve. time fliiiiiiies.

thanks guys for the vip treatment i wouldn’t settle for anything less. look how funny i look against their uniforms. so completely opposite hilarious contrast. so if you want all what you saw go say raymi sent you and they’ll treat you right. if you can’t make it this week for the raymi special you can go through fabfind and print out a coupon/discount voucher instead.

and yes in answer to the question you were wondering, i AM awesome.

THANKS BYE!

what’s next? you’ll see…
