remember this day?



haha i like that someone came here by googling “i am stoned”. brother, you are in the right place. watch dem girl go. walked my ass across the entire city home my feet are sore but i loved every bit of it. could it have been a more gorgeous day? of course. totally cured me of all late evening debauch guilted feelings. yesterday was so bloody expensive. dance rehearsal was great, learned the can can, then hit ronnies. then dakota. then then. bumped into trish, hadn’t seen her in ages. we go back to elementary, though she only remembers me from high school cos i was a little wiener. she ran around with my brother. speaking of i have to hoof it to b-town to see those peoples of mine. the family. my brother is totally pissed i got him expensive shoes now he feels obligated to match the gift. whatever man you’re my brother and i love you, relax. about time to wear some cool shoes now anyway.

before i cleaned up my act last nite.

i know, hey? my nana would DIE in here.

phillip on the right has a fucking steel rod in his leg, was hobbling around with a crutch. kinda gangster. would have absolutely none of my bullshit regarding my fucked knee, which was pretty hard to dance on yesterday, sigh, but i did it anyway. he and his gf were looking over the old bloggo and he kept saying how much they dug on my thrashed tights. i want to meet this chick.

pre-emptive drooling over the f21 gift card about to hit my back pocket. maybe will hit the one in mapleview mall tomorrow before coming back to city to avoid yonge/dundas square insanity. so much more space in the burbs. ahhh. can’t wait for lady gaga cat calls. happens way too much.


front sun porch.


i look to be missing way too many body parts here.


how no sleep does this look? visined the shit out of my peepers and that caffeine under eye roller thinger.

i look like an irritating teenager and i live like one.




i’d tell you to tell me to break a leg but i fear that that might actually happen.
i’ll be seein’ yas!

where did you sleep last night from raymi lauren on Vimeo.
getting ready for work. heartbroken and high. skinnier today than in this video, should hit the head before walkin’ around in a bra, filming self.
have a callback monday for tylenol commercial, they dug me. down to me and two other chicks i believe. it was all dudes mostly when i rolled up and i was the only girl/person with a longboard so they musta been oh hey know look at this. showed them what style was all about wearing pretty much the opposite look of what they thought they were after. one of the players said i’m edgier in real life and the photo we’re using (in my acting portfolio? what’s that shit called?) nowhere matches how wicked i am in real life. pre-bangs, totally different person. knee is still super sore, a little worried. have dance rehearsal tomorrow too. i’m hobbling up and down stairs at work and dancing all over it like the smart person that i am. fucked with my bangs kinda worried commercial people won’t be feeling it. gonna go to bed super early tomorrow night and wake up looking 24.


happy birthday shawny!




Hi Raymi,
My Name’s Matt. I’ve been a reader of you for years. I’m doing my Thesis at Parsons: The New School for Design, on Social Subculture and Sociocultural Effects in New York City. It’s a book I’m putting together with photography, video stills and my writing. A portion of the book is about “cool bending”, the death of the word hipster, and how social media is used to define “cool”, hip and fresh. I’m a photographer, media studies student yet am writing my thesis on the above topic, to marry the two, and to get ready for a documentary I’m going to shoot based on this publication.
I was wondering if you had a few moments, to answer a few questions. You’re one of the only bloggers, I’ve followed for almost the last 6 or more years (wow, thats a lot longer than I remember) and was curious to hear some of your thoughts based on your popularity and also that i enjoy your honesty and style of writing.
If you do have time, I could write up some questions tomorrow in the AM, and send them your way. Although my documentary is written from and to New York, it’s also stressing the importance of how this subculture (or mainstream) depending on how you look it, is seen, transmitted and borrowed from all over the world, and in some cases, thats part of the next step.
If you’re wondering if I’m some creeper creeper, i actually had a friend that wrote about you, interviewed you many years ago for undergrad, shes jessica *****. shes french. blogger etc. anywho. they’ll be quasi entertaining questions for you to answer.
This would be greatly appreciated. Hope to hear from you soon!
cheers
matthew
