Until I realized I was taking screen grabs instead of videos.
On the last day of being blond you will do anything to stop time.
Knowing what I know now people say. I say, I would have enjoyed myself even more. My time then, knowing that I would be right here right now I’d have smiled more. Been less stressed out about shit. That’s the only difference.
But I’m making up for it now.
Obviously I caught on that it was taking stills.
Sepia reminds me of The Wizard of Oz, the before colour part of course. And now I want to hear Somewhere over the rainbow. And then I found this rare gem, listen to what Liza (or Lorna) says in the beginning of this clip. When her voice cracks a few times during this performance it hurts my heart a little, so tragic her true life was. Once you become a celebrity you are doomed. I love Meet me in St. Louis. Nostalgia vortex!
Someone said I look 40 yesterday. One of my obsessive biggest fans of course otherwise known as a hater. So, I can take it, lay it on me, how old do I look? Also might I add, how relevant is that really? Do my chances of “making it” end when I turn 30? Do you know Kim Kardashian is over 30? My mother was on Creeps for Christ sakes. Ps. look at my body, is that the body of a 40 year old? I am french, I have dark circles beneath my eyes, it is my heritage. I’m going to keep at it to spite you, the older and older I get the more I will still be there so you need to ask yourself how long you are going to punish yourself hating on me for. What if I get more famous! That will so suck for you won’t it!
It’s only older than me shitheads or bitches my own age who say I look older anyway so who cares. Young chicks are shocked when they learn my age and definitely 50% of that is attributed to how I act, young spirited and fancy free so you remember that ya old windbags acting all stiff and crabby and frowning all the time, you are projecting OLD. I am not, nor will I ever and my body will always look young for as long as I can manage. Thank you Demi Moore.
Nice pants Courtney. Traveling Raymi pants.
Too many corn flakes teach said. Shut up hater I liked it!
Don’t base your judges on the last few days pictures either because I said so.
Except here in which I look like a retarded baby.
Classy sassy hostess Courtney strikes again.
Love your friends.
She’s got the look of bourbon in her eyes. No wait I did. No wait, she did.
Now before you go tell me to go fuck myself this IS a big change for me. It’s the first time I’ve come back from a salon with a darker root in, years.
Brennen said we’re going to ride this blonde out. There’s no point to paint over the blonde I already have. Makes sense, plus, I can handle gradual better.
So I’m posting these few to share what it looks like. Still mega blonde. Sorry for the drama explosion, I was actually ready to make the dark leap but with what I’ve got, my tresses aren’t. This way is going to be way healthier and smarter. Less hasty. I was far more worried about all the chicks coming in with longer all same-length hair and leaving with bangs, christ I am not falling for that again.
Anyway, see, this is a big deal, because instead of hiding my roots now I get to embrace and flaunt them because they’re caramel now and next visit there will be more to work with. If you’re going to say something shitty to me now don’t bother. In Raymi world it matters. All interested parties care and this is the Raymi club so deal. Read the three word url up in the address bar.
Yes I am a disaster over this and mourning like cray. I am reluctantly giving in. I don’t know why I am doing this to myself either, looking at these by blogging them is making me feel really stupid because I think my hair looks good. Not broke don’t fix it (yes it’s broke) but, you can’t totally tell.
Only sort of and not really in pictures. I could totally deal living the rest of my life walking with my head to the wall no problem, easy.
Urg.
The cons: Every other hair days can be a handful, and eyeful. I try to take a survivor approach to life, by day 39 what would Raymi look like? Probably Nick Nolte’s mugshot. Ha I’d be lucky to look even that good. I’ll give you something to do today, you can google it yourself. But anyway, Au natural will make my hair grow better and I don’t think I’ll be becoming a porn star so why do I need the platinum locks for? This is straight up husslin’ gold diggin’ hair and I haven’t even had the chance to stretch its legs yet boo-urns. I know that I can look good in platinum, as a dark haired girl it’s a mystery and one NEVER knows until they make the leap.
So it is true. Blondes do have more fun. The word itself, throw an ‘e’ on it or not who cares lets hit a patio lol.
I’m partially afraid I will be treated with less specialness IRL now, sometimes I am treated like a dainty princess before I even have a chance to do anything and it’s fun to coast in the role why not, I have proven myself my entire life I am exhausticated and fucking tired carry my bags sure I’m scared a car will drive by me and slosh a mud puddle on to my head and I’m wearing librarian glasses and ugly brown clothing AHHA. I will kill you people if that happens. Saboteurs.
I’ll be striking with darker hair, maybe I should focus on the positives for once. HA ha what’s that? As long as I don’t lose length and don’t cut bangs we’ll be cool I hope I don’t get a hair hat from the healthier hair sprouting out and the light feather thin ends make me look like a Barbapapa. Fine, positives. Healthy hair growth.
What if this is just my hair now, thin cos I’m old so I could have just stayed stupid blond and now I’m a brown sad cow. AND I look older. Most number one big fear of all, the darker the hair framing my face the harsher I’ll look. HARSH VALID SIGH.
And so begins this platinum jellybean funeral. We are gathered here today Little Raymis to share in our love and fondness of Raymbo Bright, Courtney Raymi Love, alleged Paris Hilton Wannabe, RTM.
What a great turn out, wow, Blond Raymi would have been touched by this. And, did you know she will be 29 on Saturday too? That also sucks. Ha.
28 lookin’ great! is now 29 feeling fine.
I’ll just take more vitamins. Madonna did backflips at the Superbowl so, yeah.
This photo is the one that KILLS ME.
Alright, time to do it. Peace. Kanye West dance party times. Love Raymes.
This video contains ping pong. It feels so good to whip a ping pong ball at someone ahhh let me tell you especially if that someone is my mom. I flash her halfway through this too how bizzoinkers. I walk like a zombie because we were totally relaxed after the spa. Lois is adorablah and calm throughout as usual, she used to be a teacher so her thing is to just wait it out when people are cray or yelling because she knows “it will be over soon” hahaa aw bless.
Time to hit the pool with some Moet. We had the radio on this old timey station the whole time it added to the nostalgia vibe, loved it. Had a wonderful stay here. This video goes sideways fast because Lois neglects to bring the key cards to the pool so we can’t get in and we have to hide our drinks haha but they didn’t care. Just watch! Mom is there a better screen grab starring me? Also at 3:13 I find my glasses or whatever I am looking for and sing the Yeah yeah song! INTENSE. Then I explain it and no one cares.
Then our horse tour. Listen to this chick’s voice so disney.
It looks way more wholesome than it is I assure you. Okay it’s not that bad I don’t want to be putting ideas in your head either I just mean those SO are not cups of tea. We had a fabulous birthday brunch yesterday at School in Liberty Village. Thank you Courtney and Happy Birthday today Skinny Ankles club buddy muah.
I can’t believe I’ve never been to School before (ahha shut up!) it’s so nice there but also said to not even bother trying to go on a regular brunch day aka the weekend as it’s line-up city. I do not wait for brunch so I am def one to heed such advice. Week day though, you may just see me in there I loved it.
I will refrain from age comparisons (out loud) between us I just know that her face is a good face, very facey and nice to look at.
I think it’s amazing that we are friends after all these bloggy years and what are the chances after skimming the fat that your closer friend shares a birthday so close to your own? Amazing. Maybe there is something to be said for horoscopes after all, Mom and Lois have Birthdays close together as well. I don’t believe in fate wait yes I do I don’t know what I am saying here, I believe in destiny I guess but, I dunno, it feels magical to find friends on your own steed and you are the same age, same year, same month, 4 days apart ok that is all. I am going to try not to write about our friendship like it is the equivalent of curing cancer okay sorry but we did triumph over lots of girl adversity over the years I feel. Courtney and I are strong personality types, I have a history behind me she was around for on the outskirts of I suppose and then Raymi came back. It’s just nice, friends are nice, simple as that. I will not be unhappy if we make this birthday brunch an annual tradish until we go looney baloonies and up the birthday game some you never know. Next year’s the big one.
I made sure to not wear my other pair of glasses that look like Courtney’s.
Delicious marshmallows. We all had a nice time watching me dig for the last one I felt like my little pony and I was hoping it would sober me up.
Hyuk hyuk hot for Teacher joke then I secretly squinted my eyes up in rage lol. That drink did get us tanked so, hat’s off. Guess what I started out with though lets see how well you know me even though you can see it in a previous picture.
These are not real clocks I was told when I asked the time. I was gassed by then so I could not complete my raymi de rigeur server banter what, then what are they then!? She meant that they weren’t working but it was a headfuh- because it was pretty much that time anyway, half hour to brunch service ending and that is what I wanted to eat even though Court pointed out the jerk salad for me, which I ordered. It was fantastic btw.
This guy. Bit of sediment in my teeth when we left. Haha. I need a cardamom smasher.
Yom. And worthy of home parodying. I imagine the entire menu is, Courtney’s hot coconut milk and bourbon was also really good. Make sure the rest of your day’s schedule is cleared. She had already taken the day off haha.
I’m starving now.
It was so so so good. I never thought to make my jerk creamy, what a dummy. We are having jerk chicken again tonight. Can’t wait.
Calamari sandwich oh god how mouth watering.
That’s right you know the score.
I put that entire bowl inside of me yay me! Fantastic.
Then we had a hot for teacher.
I looked like shit a little, I didn’t have time to “finish my face”. Meh. It’s not always about my face.
See my darker hair creepin’ on my neck. IT’S TIME.
Tequila and cider. WARM. GENIUS POINTS!! Perfect for the blustery day yesterday which I fear has given me a cold. Boo.
See you later School. Dad you will be thrilled to hear that the first thing I said once I arrived was, welp, I never thought that I’d go back to School.
When this came we were so touched by the darlingness of it until we realized it wasn’t actually a report card but the bill wah woh haha. NBD right Courtney Glad the skinny leg jeans fit you, I know your body like I know your soul. I’ll post the rest of our DTD drankathon pics tomorrow later whenever.
