well welcome to wonderland
amazing night. i am exhausted from it but still coasting and ready for more. don’t expect this post to be as verbose as my regular fare of uh, fare.
my mom’s dress just so happened to match the dress i performed in.
starlight burlesque dressed the stage.
my mom made lois and i pose like this all night long with our matching rings. mom are you twelve?
lil miss kate killet was my assistant/point girl. job well done girl.
tim and i have been tight buddies since i was 21 and insane, longboarding buddy from oakville. he was the jealousy trap i set when it was down to he or my ex fiance. it worked, fuck, look at him. haha look at my stage mom behind me too.
walking around in my one piece was super empowering. i recommend it.
the vipeople.
tarek, we need to talk (dish). BOOM catch-up with april stat!
surround yourselves with cute people at all times possible.
i don’t remember all the burlesque girl names but they were so fantastic. everyone thoroughly enjoyed this.
positively packed.
look at this man. this man is a genius. his bags make me look so good. thank you infinity.
my colleague must be counting his lucky stars he ever met me hey ahaha. yesterday afternoon we spent a good time with maureen at nearly naked, locked him alone in there even while she and i grabbed coffee. it’s located right across the street from where my nude scene was filmed in those lofts and i think he lined a shot up, bragged about it, i go yeah your business brain cogs musta been rotating at mach ten by that stroke fluke of luck hey? i constantly break his balls i am such a delight to work with.
YES MONEY SHOT! i am bummed mine didn’t stay on. what if i get a dental floss pasty contraption set-up?
this chick was doing a total von teese (esther deville?) thing and at the end of the night we had a sultry limo shoot and she french inhaled all over the place. then clem paid the driver to take us for a spin and dropped us off at salvador darling, me my mom lois teacher clem and i it was wild. so fun. so many photos i don’t know where to begin so i’m starting here and doing cliffs notes before i forget.
seeing the wasted crowd deterioration totally calmed me down, they won’t have any idea what’s going on by the time i hit the stage. perfect.
yeah i could get used to dressing like this again. steering toward pin-up. wedges, teeny shorts. just picked up some new cute things from public butter after brunch at the caddy just now. i love hungover hair of the dog vintage shopping. the music was so abstract and terrifying, i found everything hilarious and now i have gold raybans, a wicked little vest, baby pink gauzy nightie to dance in and swingin’ sixties dress.
the fans were added last minute. i’ll do the dance and film it so you can see it properly if you want then i’ll retire it for use only if by request and if paid otherwise we’ll be going to the psych ward if we hear shake shake shake senora ever again. a lot of dudes told me i made their night, one of the security guards. i am so dumb for not speaking to edwin. he tried to cruise me once and i didn’t go for it. there’s a notorious story about him though so maybe it was a good idea. aw poor celebs, everyone knows your spot and blows it up.
she was adorable and i should have been wearing a headpiece like her. i couldn’t wear anything in my hair cos my headband would fly off and barrettes, i ran out of time to curl it and also didn’t have time for false eyelashes. next time i’ll be sure of it.
nice one.
i love her routine. i put her video up the other day.
would you be nervous to dance in front of all these people?
a girl came up to me afterward (hi) and said she wants to do what i do, which is exactly how i approached my old troupe. she has dance experience and balls, that’s all it takes. none of these chicks were alive in the 60’s or 40’s so it’s every girl for ‘emself recreating what their perception of burlesque should embody, i of course have my own spin on it and everyone else can sincerely go fuck themselves if they have a problem with it. also, marketing is more than half the work here so you can be amazing but if you don’t have the spark or the audience, you know, it’s a lot of work. hype is necessary.
see we match. this always happens. mom how do you do this all the time? happens with melodie and i sometimes too as well as an old friend of mine. cosmic cuckoo kismet.
i can’t tell if this was before or after cos my hair was various stages of wild and more than one person asked if was doing anything with it. nope. just watch. i let it dry naturally and it has a kink to it so it works plus my dance is a spazz attack number there is no point in trying to maintain beauty when you’re having fun and dancing with your people at your free bottle service vip table. dudes you also forgot to tip our waitress, i covered it but come on you can’t do that self-entitled shit to me, poor form.
some people were cuttin’ loose and celebrating their set as they should have. i said to hanna that it (burlesque) might make her horny and she goes i’m already horny! ahahah. burlesque is a perfect date night activity and my friend said the party in the distillery last year for the red light district campaign i did with lexus (or was it nissan? bahaha) but anyway it brings the wildcat out in women so he said all the women were aroused big time and every dude got laid that night GUARANTEED.
can’t wait to see the limo shots. oh boy.
what is going on here?
oh it’s me!
oh hai there.
why didn’t you use the flash dude??
one girl was sitting on the fucking stage so i fanned her a lot and singled her out to work with it. rude. get off my stage before i mariah carey your ass on out of here.
baha that guy is studying me and the girl beside him is like screaming.
minxing the horny mob.
going to burnoutington to see my daddy! so more later from there, bon weekend!
your pal raymi.
(mom get your pics up!)
omg i can’t wait to blog the nn shopping pictures.
yes, a 12 year old boys mind
fun night, was that girl in the green dress offering free bottle service?
That “girl beside him is screaming” photo is amazing. So good! The composition, the action, the lighting, the colours, the shadows, the subject, the crowd. Wow. Wow. Wow. Was that your Colleague who took it? If so, congrats Colleague! Congrats to Raymi too, of course.
Raym dude your hair is looking fucking rock lately.
hanks next time i’m having you on deck to hype me unlike the few psych outs i got last night regarding my rock of love homage tresses.
yup colleague. always gets the shot. like peter parker. hmmm interesting…
Glad you had a good night! You looked like you had fun onstage. I wanted to apologize for using your fans in a photo, the event photographer handed them to me but you hadn’t yet performed so I didn’t know they were your props. Eek! It was too loud to explain, hope you weren’t offended. Cheers
oh no worries at all love. you were fantastic.
you look hawt raymi. i was on vacation and saw the perfect raymi ring but didn’t know your ring size number. yes i would have bought it if i knew. it was pink and sparkly and very girly. i tried it on but it didn’t suit me at all. i need tips on being more girly haha.
PS. 120 lbs? I am jealous. my weight just always stays the same. maybe i am burning fat and building muscle i hope. i’m your height but have never been a size 4.
aw erica the thought is sweet. i dunno my size, 5?
