Our minds were blown inside out last night. The visuals, the costumes, can only imagine what backstage looked like. It was Cirque du Soleil on Daft Punk on speed. ie. exactly what I wanted. The opening was gorgeous and serene, felt like a disney production of Fantasia and the opening sequence to the two towers (listen to the first video up there)(ok it’s not the twin towers it’s the other LOTR, the last one I just got lost in a vortex of various themes on youtube), spooky and ominous and then this happened a lot:
And this.
That too.
And this.
Stew and I stayed up til super late again being idiots and wearing my bear costume I mean, “working”.
EWOK!
BRB with a post cavorting as some form of review.
Almost went out like this too but felt it would be too weird. After Empire of the Sun, I now know that I never even knew what weird was. Listen to this and feel happy.
Colleague and I took 800 shots last night. Widdled down to 150, he said 50 tells the story. HA ha yeah right you wish start your own blog then OH wait, I just looked through 4 more pages worth o_0. Lets trip down through the vortex shall we then? Ps. Do you know that song lyric (post title) by modest mouse’s Tiny Cities Made of ashes song?
I’m going to play it right meow! You should too.
I dressed like a spanish ballroom dancing fly girl. It’s going to catch on, watch for it.
Now here is why this going to be a 4 part post if I’m not too selective.
I spy Ally on the red carpet, the beginning of 30000 familiar faces. What an amazing party list! I throw my head over one shoulder, BAM fifty faces I recognize. I kept pinching myself about it only being Monday night.
Flipbook. Adorable.
I’ll post a video of my book or you can just super scroll.
It’s like this son!
I look the same but the image on the screen isn’t.
Bahah I am ridiculous.
What is this Etalk Daily?
I look like Madonna. Slight gap too.
Or Monroe.
In we go to the Hoxton. Kenny owns it. Bumped into him, he tells me this and my eyes go like this 0_o. Out of sight. I was trying to say how this was like Night at the Roxbury and we are living it but I lost the ability to speak at that point.
Glamorous little figurines everywhere I hope they didn’t feel ostracized by how hot they are or were last night.
I spy linds!
When opportunity knocks…
Capture the pearl necklace moment. Would you believe that was staged, he missed it initially. SPOKESPERSON. Plus point person capital me. Ok I will stop pointing that now.
Had absolutely no idea the theme of the party. I stepped into my tickletrunk, found my AA tube skirt, my one piece-piece from nearly naked (miss you dudes!) snob girl (it’s fake gucci) purse and voila. ALMOST wore the hot pink gauze around my neck, but that ages you so no. Not yet.
Tweet wall made my drink order take forever. I invented in my head that the bartendress was purposely avoiding me. Later when I moved along to the middle part of the bar, deeper, way faster to get drinks. How many did I have, Colleague?
OH right the oyster bar. I had twenty. I love yuppies and oysters, standing with yuppies while eating oysters, messing with yuppies and hogging all the condiments then braggarting my hot sauce skills. I did all of that.
Open bar too. S- Show. Classic.
The Fairlie sisters!
Coke bottle chandeliers fabulous and I never noticed. I guess colleague gets bored when I am infecting people with Raymitis. Ohh that sounds scary!
Another stunner.
Seriously serve me!
I rolled a cigarette out of my tip money. She still didn’t care.
Zzzz. I got three Jack and diets, slid one over to colleague like a smooth criminal would and made like 5 guys burn up with jealousy over him getting a drink like that. THAT is how the singer of Queens of the Stoneage passed ME a shot of (I’d love to but I can’t) vodka at sound academy. Ask Darius. Evidence here (scroll to the end and I kept the shot glass). Speaking of Sound Academy, taking a fleet to sound academy for empire of the sun tonight going to be gangbusters. It’s not sold out yet fyi.
Me and Christine and Ameet who was going to cast me in an H&M ad but couldn’t in the end cos of my tattoos (BOO!) checking us out. HI! send me more work thanks please :).
Here I am telling him off about it. I was on FIRE last night!
Here I am turning into Sharon Stone.
We had the same outfit. Brock was like who is she? He is like a mini guy raymi ahahhaa groupie. Me and casie like to push him around. He’s coming with to SA tonight.
Lisa said she liked my style regarding bringing my colleague as date/in-tow. My secret weapon.
Place was packed all night long. Estelle was the performer. Amazing divarifique :).
Sean and I are going to do another video segment together like old times. THE ISSUES! My hair is really greasy and flat and I look like Duncan. I’m gonna have to put a tattoo on that burn mark. Gnarly.
(music by my friend Unagi, that’s his rap name real name is Brolin, still wicked).
LOVE pumped up servers! speaking of pumped up kicks i’m seeing foster the people, maybe I’ll take my dad! hey dad I have plus one for that wanna be my date? I’m also going to Portishead.
I love her hair!
Some kind of tartare what is this? Give me this I know this!
Shawn is also coming to Empire of the sun tonight.
What’s up Cory did you go to the Bunny ranch while in Vegas?
Dan Levy, do you have ANY sort of relation to Eugene or your brother, also named Dan Levy? bahahah ok I just got it. I like that you were dressed like Tom Hanks in Big and didn’t get that significance. EVEN!
Me and zach. He was shooting for diet coke. He always puts me in NOW when we bump into each other at concerts.
More Oysters.
Holy crap full on oyster vortex.
I terrorized that cute yuppie beside me. He liked it.
Bathed in the ATM glow with Casie.
Colleague and I provoked lots of people, you must in order to get them to come out of their shells, easily, I coax them out. Hello Mr. Nus back there. Looking good.
Yo said you were fat again. Liar.
We should do phoney ad campaigns together posing as husband and wife. “Your daddy’s rich, and our mother’s good looking…”
ROXANNE! YOU don’t have to wear that dress tonight! Hahah can you imagine a dude screaming his guts out at his woman of the night woman? Sigh.
Why do I look like putty?
Jenny we missed you!!! Project Jenny McBeth soon.
HAHAH the background the everything. This is me discovering my flipbook.
WOah relax there, get out much? nahahaaahahhahhaa.
Doesn’t take much. Oh I have welsh eyes. Know what that means hehh… ask my friend Mr. Jack Daniels about it.
So cool. Luckily I did a pin-up pose combo, I thought it was just going to be 6 stills like photobooth I dunno. This idea is way better.
Then an extra.
Hee hee we are all busting on this photo on twitter right meow.
Then I danced on the top of the stairs so everybody in the room could see me.
THIS PARTY IS MINE!
HahHAha my hair.
I thought that was the social network guy. SWOON. You have my card dude we can pretend! Steph I’m doing Steph face!
You’re my gal Val. I’m waiting on your blog post about Raymi’s Runway Tips. Brinner Soon! (Brunch at dinner time, during a hangover) (gahahahaha!)
I like my purse strap over the shoulder mom thing. Hard to dance with a long purse. Worth it cos I look like Heathers. Well, this is mean blog girls after all. lolz. Hisss!
My head is getting skinnier.
It was such a fabulous time thanks again!
I spy a girl that caught colleague’s eye. I got her card too! Wing girl!
Stunner!
We need to get another look. She might come to devil’s night burlesque. Hot Raymi army is growing. RAYMI ARMY Should be our burlesque name cos then I get to jumble it around like Army Raymi yarmi amy? Uh confusing.
My arm is ripped and I fanned the crowd with Christine’s purse fan. I am nice to the world. I felt bad for those wearing leather jackets inside a club as their outfit. I didn’t even bring a scarf cos I knew it would be sweltering.
Had many roast beef rolls throughout the night.
Kept saying OK JUST ONE MORE lol.
Groovy.
Trippy I like.
Neat.
Getting ready for Estelle.
She just went from my hair to her hair and I said that’s interesting as I lived many years with YOUR hair. We are going to be great friends.
SUCH a great performance. I spied Kardinal in the crowd, we go way back:
She was perfect. I boogie’d.
Lauren O’nizzle looked like a politician’s wife. Without missing a beat she waved like Jackie O. I almost wore my bow headband. I wore bow earrings instead. Too much bow.
Side stage view was grand.
Why are you behind a pillar?
I look like Eileen here (my nana). OH COME ON EILEEN! I spy Dekel.
Cutie cutie cutie!
And I spy Shawn again. I overheard two girls discussing Estelle’s skinnyness ooh good point something else to be envious of.
Then there is the “other” world of Raymbo Bright you’ll be experiencing some of pretty soon, the music “industry” part. That’s Dekel.
We go way back, but who cares I certainly don’t!
And from the cheap seats.
Dance party!
Classic!
Hi Kenny!
There’s the mark zuckerberg actor guy behind me ahha and we both look uhhh…
More good looking people.
Ok time to go.
They were girl versions of tin toy sexy soldiers.
I made them do this. SPOKESPERSON!
See? I am such a Madam and they just listen. Teacher said I would make a great teacher.
HAhaha aw see how they’re still standing like that?
The one on the left looks like Megan Fox.
See!
Fabulous Night thanks for the treats Diet Coke :).
Want captain Raymbo to cover your party with my colleague? E: raymi@raymitheminx.com I’d love to! (While finishing this my blog traffic/numbers were cranked. Not one cuss word to be found in this post either could ya tell?)
I drank a billion jacks and diets last night, was a good time. Colleague sending shots over now, I’ll give you the sloppy story v soon. This was getting jacked up for the party and determining if I can do burlesque to this song or not, not sure how I can tie it in to Halloween. I like to do burlesque themes and get a bit psycho about sticking to them but this time I am sticking to the theme through and through. You think Hitler was bad. I am way more relaxed now though because I am confident that we have something no matter if we roll out with trash cans on and suspenders. Actually, that would be somewhat hot.
See this live on DEVIL’S NIGHT @ The Bovine. October 30th. Gonna be HUGER than last, which was HUGE so, just so you know. I bust up laughing at 40 seconds in. I’m going to get Jasmine to wear my red gingam dress and dance with me lolollll. Someone needs to submit this to fark or one of those nerds for furries sites. That is all. Wait, no it’s not, here is the first ever Teddy Bear’s picnic I represented at what’s up holla Sarah! That Panda Bear was purchased from some trip my nana and papa went on coinciding with those famous Pandas? And ps. Sarah, your “bear” looks kind of funny. Do the bare minimum I guess blahaha.
Running rasta time. Changed shirts before I went out, I put the house key in my aerobic shirt bosom. Made a lot of construction worker’s/builder’s etc day.
Going back to get more glitter eyeshadow, in baby pink.
How do I have a knack of matching everything? Sorry for being conceited.
Load film damnit!
Rocket Science trying to load the film between us, or maybe we were too impatient. New-found respect for photojournalists back in the Beatlemania-era. Holy crapola.
Heidi said this guy is pretty expensive. WICKED.
New-found respect for cheese that I never lost. Yesterday feasted on four different kinds alone in the house and felt something like a ghoul.
What’s up!
These people’s decks have it going on.
Won’tchoo be my neighbour :).
Who isn’t loving this indian summer? So happy.
This was yesterday. Have not made adequate use of Romeo and Juliet railing this summer. Never too late! I was spying on some ska punk guys with tattoos who live here, very intrigued by them. i busted them checking me out once too then smoothly turned into the cop from T2 and blasted by ahahaha. Such a wiener.
Ok now what do I wear to the diet coke TIFF party?
CAN’T DECIDE WHICH ONE I LIKE BEST! This is the smartest thing (idea) I have seen in a long time and the only thing I care about right now. I will never achieve anything better so I may as well quit. I like that they filmed this by some churchy cathedral pillar ahaha can’t stop laughing loving.
This reminds me of velvet Underground and savage garden so bad oh yes! thanks Angelo for sending it and for some other unknown unrelated reason I feel like watching Heavenly Creatures. Odd, that.
The eatingest sweetheart of the city. Maybe that will be my next self-selling detail, usually I tack the “foodie” bit on to the end of all my other accolades, “Oh and I’m a total pig with connections too, fully, honestly.”
Scotch egg and steak tartare. Red Flag was in a feeling’s eating mood, I wasn’t, but I ate anyway. 416 food doesn’t count cos it’s made for mice from the Beatrix Potter book (tiny tiny portion sized).
Eggs benny scotched egg at that. Deadly.
Deadlier, Devil’s on horseback. No idea what they were, still kind of don’t. Favourite thing. I don’t know what it is but it’s my favourite.
This shirt and a few others I discovered in one of my many piles of collections that I have been diligently pairing down and out the stuff I never wear. I got this from our adventurehouse garage sale from Melucas, why they would get rid of this gem beats me. I also got a nice white vintage GOODYEAR tee.
Do you want to date my ex? Seriously. Consider this the beginnings of the facilitation process. Normally his face isn’t this intense.
Amazing oysters. This was all we ate.
My vest matched the decor.
This seemed dangerous.
Allison’s birthday party in the park. I showed up wicked late.
Happy Birthday little pet! RUV ROO! Only 25! Allow me to suck up your youth. I can remember back to when I was 25 and hanging out with you…
The picnic sheet had a Madhatter thing going on which I loved and sat on.
It was down to this or the blue, I felt the party hats poppin’ up might be too much for the world. It’s the little things, no? HAahahaa righteous.
White peach (nothing white about it) crystal light.
Smoked gouda flax nachos, with sriracha and green salsa.
Rasta toothbrush felt like checking up on the neighbours. I have three other rotating toothbrushes going right now (from traveling, one goes missing so you open another then that first one appears again, you know how it is) so I haven’t used this one yet I just like walking around with it for street cred purposes.
Some people collect dolls, others, bottles of tequila.
And so of course I had some wine.
Daddy’s girl. lol.
Took some italian cheese for the road and my perry bible fellowship book back! Now when I reference it people will understand what the hell I am talking about.
That grey shirt is from Zellers if you can believe it.
This guy in libville forced us to let him take our picture then got annoyed at us for my phone taking so long to load, he offered, I was perfectly fine posing solo in front of this taken by paddy. He took a great shot to be honest so, it all worked out in the end.
My mom said she lost ten pounds at the fat camp. Can’t wait to see her and Lois!
I’m down to 120. Not even by trying either.
I love Liberty Village.
I didn’t realize clem had one of those sports cars everybody stares at, like the top ten douchey fancy cars you’d see in libville, it has the four rings, an audi? I dunno but everyone was staring and I liked it. They should market a platinum side hair clip for sports car passengers, oh wait they do, they’re called weaves.
Clem was playing hooky and a total enabler like me, paddy showed to drop off my nail polish (FINALLY OMFG!) and then it turned into a beach mission. Stella the dog had the best time ever and has been my loyal devoted shadow follower ever since. She gets in phases where I am a Greek Goddess and it’s pretty cute. I love winning.
At Lisa’s Friday night pre-drinks before the Silver Dollar. Dan Burke (promoter one-man legit toronto music scene institution) was mesmerized by my face but couldn’t place it, I’m a ghost from the past and my hair isn’t black anymore.
Who knew my earrings could be weapons, they’re cubes, sharp also positioned pointing outward all pointy.
When James hugged me goodbye (a serious hug!) he cut his flippin’ face on my right earring. Hardcore carnage!
A dark n stormy (lime dark rum and ginger beer).
These moments will get you through winter.
Aw look at Stella she is like what are you doing to meee? She made a new friend in Lenny. Maybe we can walk her to Clem’s one day and party on his deck for a change?
These are the crispy calamari I ate the other day, see how much I got them crisped. I’ll be back at the caddy within 48 hours now thanks to this photo.
I can’t believe we all fit in that thing. Princess always rides shotgun. You should see me in the front seat of a cab ordering the driver around like my husband ahahaha it’s hilarious. Omg try having a ride with Melodie and I we are horrible, horrible! I love it! Hope she’s having a good time in Montreal.
New fav band is NEW GHOST. Maybe we’ll do a burlesque showcase together, yeah? I love shows at Silver Dollar.
Bumped into Courtney up Ossington just as hung as we were, she was in search of bread. Fun!
Sorry for the cat hair but this was an essential part of yesterday. If I were a dude I’d hit metro on my way to work at least once a week and buy this. Teach ate the majority of it.
Ate at The Bellevue, this is the avocado frisee. Delicious. Tasted like a stuffed potato, but without the potato and with avocado instead. Perfs for the skinny dieters out there.
Must learn and master this diana F+ by tomorrow’s tiff party. Heidi help me load it!
I went for slob chic yesterday omg I just remembered there’s loads more cute pics of me on teacher’s phone arrrg.
I tried to get the Lakeview to do a fry-less poutine for me once and it flopped, the hot gravy on the lettuce brought out too much earthy essence from the leaves, ugh. Green beans work though! Thanks Bellevue, totally going to do this at home. Add mushroom too.
teach said this one long curly woody allen haired guy kept looking at us like we were “Somebody” or maybe it was because we were fighting? hahahaa.
See? I win.
I didn’t have time to dry my hair post-wash on Friday so I had funny hair all weekend long.
