i am a humongous woman. i am a lot of a person. the first time i realized i was an amazon was in grade 3 sitting beside little jessica arruda, this petite cute as a button portuguese girl i looked down at her matching purple jogging suit and my own self also clad in a purple jogging suit and i said to myself something is wrong here, she is littler than me. i wanted to be that small and dainty. but no i was the tallest girl in my class in every grade up til grade eight til everyone else started growing. i was the smartest and the tallest, the funniest loudest, but i wasn’t as tiny as jessica arruda or as cute as her. i hugged my knees as tightly as i could during story time and thought about how big i was, surely everyone else around me must have noticed how glaringly humongous i was.

i was the flattest with the biggest nose and no one ever let me forget about it. a fat comedian last week made a snark about beautiful women never having to develop personalities. you can be beautiful now but it’s ok to have been an ugly duckling, a caterpillar. i wanted to heckle. the table of hot gay guys beside us declared that i was beautiful and my face flushed, the room went still. i had heckled previously to the hostess “EW” when she said her mom said pubes fall out when you get older. my distinct loud girl voice was mistaken for one of the queen’s, one of the faggots. by now the word is being thrown around like crazy so i say no it was me who said it not the faggots. they howl and move out of the way so she can see who speaketh.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5140400912/in/photostream/

she was going into comedian mode (this woman is famous btw) like who is this ugly lout yelling in the room and one queen says oh no, she is beee-yuuuu-tiiiiifullll. she is?? i hold a candle beneath my chin and my ghoulish unflatteringly lit from below face terrifies her.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5140401690/in/photostream/

she takes advantage of that moment in time to scream like i startled her. i remove the candle demurely, my cheeks are hot pink and i’m blushing profusely by now as there is WAY too much attention on me. i have adrenaline surging through me, coursing from head to toe and i ride it the house lights go up above my head and the room stares at me, spotlit.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5140403582/in/photostream/

the room is silent, what is the review of this loud heckler with the chick from sueprbad’s voice? (one day i’ll blog about all the men in my life who are obsessed with my voice).

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5139799865/in/photostream/

oh my god, she is beautiful.

everyone is staring still, more comments about my beauty. my hair is up in a cute messy bun, i am sitting in a pew at spirits, my companion now realizes my pedigree a little more mayhaps. this is a trophy i have wedged up close beside me.

the intruders are in the house now, they’re getting closer. send help.

got stink eye from a couple at the end of the bar watching us take bozo pictures (aka. having fun) casie goes out for a butt i am left there standing alone to fend for myself so i put my empty glass on the bar and say sweet as pie to the guy in the cozy sweater, “i love your sweater.” and he breaks mean toronto hipster guy character and totally melts, gushes thank you. girl absolutely sizzles. i stalk off without acknowledging her. i really hate mean people and i’m not going to take it anymore. this city is harsh with attitudes like that you may as well be the lower east side.

parts n labour crowd. meh. kind of fucking assholes. seriously get over life already, get over the scene stop thinking everything is so bloody important all the time. also fuck you jonathan dekel in your pajamas and smug beard hahah. i had to defend courtney love’s honour all nite long. people thinking kurt killed himself vs. her really divides people. whoever you are chick who was being catty and mean to me and smugly read my blog you said i had a bad attitude you also were a bitch to casie at some point too? yeah i’m pretty fucking sick of people in this city being assholes for no reason, it isn’t cute. it’s really revealing. casie and her sister suffered so much mean girl shit, women calling husband’s wives and lying about them fucking their men, credit card fraud. psycho shit. all cos they were the cute blond sisters in whatever town they are from. can you imagine? i have a great attitude. me, i’m good. but in the end i liked you afterall once i told you my crazy deep river experience can’t wait til that hits the netz. please don’t be mean to me in the comments i suffer enough i am too sensitive a creature for this constant slamming. friends say i should hire someone to field my mean press.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5136742129/in/photostream/

people were able to point out my “costume” (life imitating art imitating life) very easily. casie just wanted an excuse to dress like a slutty little lesbian. this is just a tiny sample of ridiculous photos.

dekel was all oh how lovely that your costume isn’t exactly what you are in real life. fucker. like i don’t already think that about myself every single day. the city needs a rock star so i will give them one. fuck courtney i’m goin’ spungen. if i was an actual train wreck i don’t think i’d be doing as well as i am presently thank you very much. and then i pants’d him.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5137345264/in/photostream/

i made an FB event for my party release me from my hell and click ATTEND so i can tell my companies the quantity of products necessary for my swag bags. speaking of, if you want in on this now’s the time to ask before those babies get filled up. like it or lump it my blog is on fire right now.

Ten years people. There are many people I’d like to thank but mostly, I thank myself for persevering and overcoming adversity. Many of you hate me and that’s ok, I hate you too, but only because you hated me first and still, I triumphed over you, one and all. As evidence of this I invite you to come celebrate ten years of my excellence.

Don’t be afraid of paying or pre-purchasing tickets you can do that at the door. http://guestli.st/33969 There’s lots of room bring anyone you like. email me: raymi@raymitheminx.com so I can start formulating a list of people so I have a rough idea of how much free crap I need for my gift bags and how many fancy amuse bouches to be made.

You will be eating like royalty and drinking like rummies and everyone goes home with a bottle of rum.

I will be singing a few tunes with my dad’s Beatles band called Dr. Robert and also The Frandiscos will be spinning so it’ll get RTRD’D.

Comedian Dom Pare is MCing the night so you will be laughing your head off in-between standing around awkwardly rifling through my clothes and art and nicknacks.

I can’t wait until November 12 I hope there is room at CAMH cos I’m goin’ straight there after this jamboree.

hope to see you,

your pal Raymi.
