raymaoke fubar 2 film fest afterparty @ wrongbar from raymi lauren on Vimeo.

points of note:

-over 300 people were watching this like it was a concert. I was a concert.

-i am doing my impression of an axl rose dance at the beginning.

-it’s true i am going a little bit kind of mental here. you wold too.

-i fuck up at one point near the end.

-my shirt is inside out and torn.

-i put the mic in the faces of the audience at certain points to sing like i was james hetfield. they should really see this video right? wendi make that happen.

-as i was dancing and give’ring i almost busted my ankle a lot on the uneven stage.

-i mumble chant a lot cos i was so wailed i couldn’t read properly or see. i am drinking water. put two and two together.

-mel and i dressed as shitheads purposely.

-everyone was singing along it was wicked.

-i say the word retarded at one point.

-i was the only person who got to sing AND first (after the karaoke host went)

-i was wasted enjoying myself.

-melodie told me a week prior that there would be heavy metal karaoke and i freaked cos i have only a minimal amount of headbanger songs in my repertoire and alack, they had enter sandman. fuckin right.

-i was super severely nervous

-eye weekly put a photo of my arm raised with the mic in my hand and sweat stainy awesome glory oh yeah.

-i solved a crime this night too cos of all my photos. couldn’t blog it though and i would of had the exclusive news story coverage. boo. some day maybe nav said i could. the post is here from the FUBAR 2 FILM FEST AFTER PARTY AT WRONG BAR also more coverage in THIS EPIC POST TOO

-i played wrongbar. twice now. a month later i played with my dad’s band hahah noice. big diff eh.

we partied all night long waiting for the fubar boys and my performance is the effect of all that. stellar. i came i saw i gave.

ok weights time guys.

and as terry wrote in my fubar book NICE TO GIVE’R WITH YA (LITTLE) RAYMI(S)!

adios muchachos.

sunrooms

all limbered up now? the dance don’t stop. this is the fruit of my weekend spent leisurely doing aerobics/dance class, stir crazy indoor activities cos of the poor weather. we slept in til 3 in the afternoon yesterday which is why we are up so late on a third wind maybe. went to bed immediately after this video pretty much and at the moment we are trying to get my metallica fubar 2 film fest raymaoke video compressed FINALLY! your face will melt off when you see it but, before that, there’s this. enjoy.

@NathanielGMoore @raymitheminx i like your sign/body language dance move for “then you die” following the money hand gesture #genius #sogood #diehard

i put so much pressure on myself, it is sad and awe-ing i think. i thank. thunk. i carry a lot of guilt too. since i’ve turned 28 i have been a bit of a nightmare. i feel like i have the shingles all shakey manic daily one gig after another and rest time is spent recovering and blogging all of it, correspondence, book, blaaaaaaah. checking up on my competition, idols, messageboards. this internet stuff is work. i tell you. but i love it. i love it.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5622412127/in/photostream/

this makes me want to be martha stewart and as i get older i understand the allure more and more. it’s simple smart elitism. my new term for it though is DOMESTIC MOLESTIC. which as i saucily age is the angle we will be going for. more on it later. this is my last chance to be as hot as i can ever and will be and that goes for you too raymi army, who have aged along with me over the years. we be stylish mature babes now and our gender is the majority of the populous.

it’s all weird slanted cos of the speed, weird eh? like how when you take a picture of airplane propellers in motion or a wheel’s spokes they go so fast they’re not moving it seems?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5623496188/in/photostream/

my perception of boring or things of interest is now officially skewed though i might assume its always been slightly offkilter. look, this salsa, i dig it. i ate it, i endorse it. there you go? bloggable.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5623496136/in/photostream/

totoro the thirteen year old cat that i just named, at age thirteen. like how i get a say this late in the game? she jumped into the tracey bag. her other names vary, one being the terrorist. she’s quite nice to me though. animals these days quickly and swiftly fall under my spell i find. don’t bite the hand that naps all day with you.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5623496064/in/photostream/

tracey and someone needs to do the mirrors. not i though, not my home. heheh.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5622909187/in/photostream/

i have filled the teacher’s fridge with sauces and juices. so easy you should do it too all you need to buy for dinner ever are cucumbers some cheeses, prosciutto, whatever you know? some wine, some toob.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5622909147/in/photostream/

i found blythe danner to be epicly fabulous in little fockers. as was babs, and those outfits, oy vey, magnificent! the movie full on jumped the shark though, no doubt, however it was brilliant and we laughed our asses off. completely. maybe i’ll watch it again stone cold sober (won’t) and think differently? did you like it?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5623495562/in/photostream/

had a new client to meet today, wanted to impress and make her think i was a grown up. grown up stooges dress like wieners for the most part. i knew my beauty and overall coolness would shine through (and big mouth), it always does. well, it’s possible to fall flat sometimes.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5622909027/in/photostream/

she said i had beautiful skin like, really good skin. phew. immediately disarmed me with that one. a lady always knows good skin and while i’m told this frequently i don’t really believe it as i wear lots of makeup. she asked me what my mother was, like, a mix? awesome. i said part french. then i blabbered a TMI about how we have an oily t-zone (what? shut up!) and how the oil of our skin is what keeps it young. erg. mom tell me why we have nice skin ok?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5622908965/in/photostream/

i was so flattered and felt guilty for texting one word BUSY’s to my mom for the past forever that i called her when i had a minute today from adventurehouse and told her the good news about our skin. all the times i seem to be exasperated about my mom the listener is just like, dude, call her man. she’s a mom, your mom.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5622908865/in/photostream/

the teacher just asked who “the listener” was. haha. it’s plausible there is an acutual “the listener” out there, some guy called the listener. ok fair.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5623495128/in/photostream/

i liked how my bag looked like a dress.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5622908579/in/photostream/

not exactly a good sitting outfit for close quarters of being photographed in. another chick lady customer was all ooh what are you doing, modeling? FLATTERED! i was striking poses by the cake showcases et al. by the way this is carole’s cheesecake, the and of where my birthday cakes come from. i’ll be rolling this post out next week amid my cleanse as i won’t be doing any cake inhaling that week and will be needing content. what does the blogger blog when you take their food away? ha, blog day 7, here i am wasting away like a skeleton barely able to dance slutty in the teacher’s living room. ok i can’t finish this joke/caption, it’s friday. i think we’re on the same page. lucas’ mom bought that shirt for melodie, it is tiny in the arms area and now that i have pipes i look like a shy meathead trying to show their brains in normal people’s clothes when really they should just stay in gym rat clothes. am i right?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5622908491/in/photostream/

got to sit at the family table. carole’s mike reads my blog everyday and says that my photos the way they’re composed or done, someone knows what they’re doing. i was gesturing to my colleague but he waved that away, he knew what i meant i mean, i’ve been doing it over ten years. i was touched. amazed that he reads daily. dude is 70ish and has the attention span for this blog. hi!
