happy 10th!

happy 10 years of defining a whole genre of girl bloggery there are a million raymiesque blogs out there now in no short order thanks to you

even if you dont care much for imposters trying to out raymi you whatever we know one thing,

without you doing what you do for 10 years the internet might not have taken off much at all.

10 years!
if anything just think of the space you created!
not just in the actual blogosphere but the space in a thousand preteen maybe teen maybe early lady minds!

fluff meets fuck you!

neurosis meets confidence!

barbie meets tank girl!

and no its not just a GIRL blog, im not saying you project yourself like that..

it’s also a mississauga went to toronto blog as well as a toronto blog and a food blog and a fashiony blog (you’ve got style, or fashion, or whatever one is the more authentic term)… and so on and so on.

i moved out to edmonton so same with moving to ottawa only further, sometimes your blog is good for toronto nostalgia, like i just check in to see if it is all still there, if people are still wearing fake glasses or if we’ve collectively moved on and what’s up next because the further you go away from toronto the longer it takes for people to notice trends and for everyone to be into something, it took ottawa 3 years after toronto to go tall boots and i mean what was the hold up it snows all the time in ottawa… hahaha

anyways you’ve been great entertainment between my assignments and last minute essays in my undergrad and a stealth way to get through graduate seminars and all the nerds arguing about who is more right about revolution, you’re a way to feel like toronto isn’t all that far away no matter where i go and now you’re a fantastic distraction at work. keep blogging so i can keep sneaking peeks at the artists/writer/supercombo path while i pay off my fucking giant student debt and work in a non government organization.

with that, im going to leave you with the update that you’re not missing much in edmonton, i wish i could have gone to your big event, and here’s a picture of you slipping on a banana peel. where the fuck do those things even go when you slip on them? also attached is the basic cut out of you so if you put it up online people can copy the image and make their own bananas and ice images.
