Kinda put together a Punky Beach Brewster look yesterday with maybe a bit of Michelle Tanner. Have to wash my hair today it’s at that point eek.
Stay fit, limber and agile. You’ll regret it if you don’t. My body is sore from doing TWO cartwheels so there you go.
Welcome to my adventures on Prince Edward Island. Yes I am getting lobster fat. When in Rome bro. BTW it’s pretty gorgeous everywhere you look here. I die. I could do a dedicated church blog post, alone.
This beach took my breath away yesterday. Got pretty giddy. We didn’t bring anything to eat or drink we just nosed around, threw rocks, took pics. Wished had been there all day and today it’s overcast but warm so I dunno where the sun went that’s pretty lame.
We’ve had a pretty jokey time, neither of us want to kill the other yet so that’s great to report. There was a moment on our way here from Charlottetown though but we got through. Success!
Update: he dumped my coffee I saved for today so I want to kill him now.
I overpacked. Shocker.
Realising we have no signal here which is kinda great actually. I took an extra shirt with me to rub in the red clay to tie-dye it but we didn’t get around to that we were too happy doing nothing instead.
A great point in vacationing is capturing the experience and getting portraits of oneself in a new setting with great scenery. No one finds mirror selfies as exciting no matter how many we take.
Trevor’s mom should be very house proud. Lots of whimsical decor pieces on fleek.
These shares aren’t in chronological order because I’m going backward through flickr. The wifi is very slow here so we will see how much I can get through before I “snap”.
My view at dinner. Better pics on my camera I’ll share when I get home.
Settled on this casual look for supper. I was thinking ball gown and was swiftly steered clear of that notion. We were playing a loud and funny game of name a kitchn utensil/cooking implement-something and every time we’d laugh this old guy would stare at us from the corner of his eye like all startled but too shy to give in and I’d smile at him. I wish the world could be as unhinged as we were last night it’s just good to relax and enjoy the moment. I find sometimes I’m so stressed I can’t enjoy the enjoyable things I do and be at peace and I hate that. Unlock the zen master within if you can that’s all I’m saying.
Put some zen hours in yesterday before the beach while Trevor slept. Reminded me of my times in Thunder Bay. I’ve probably said, “one time in Thunder Bay” A million times now. “Oh, this reminds me…of a story about Thunder Bay.” hahaa.
It’s time to add more blond to my hair and exercise to my regime I can’t just rely on mbating and sex to tone this temple can you diggit. Speaking of I lied to trev that a farmer and I had a roll in the hay from the grass that got in my hair from this tan sesh and he kinda believed it haha asshole yeah right! I did make eye contact with a hot tractor boy the day we got here though…
Mighty lobster feast! omg a sale at leon’s *squeals*.
Mmm. I also smell bacon IRL right now. I am eating nothing but salads and veg after this trip.
A military plane overhead us while we had road burgers and spoke to the chattiest newf ever he was so nice!
Just be quiet now.
Charlottetown is a fun little place too. I approve.
Trevor thought he was tired. Oh, is that what you thought buddy? I don’t think so.
Charlottetown hasn’t been the same since.
The flight was pretty decent too. No complaints really at all if you can believe it.
I will miss this place!
I did some exercises on this log until we got in a fight about how abs are made in the kitchen. Uh explain 6-packs then I don’t think so.
Last Thursday I was feeling very mint. Mint laser hair removal clinic to be precise and had the opportunity of stepping in to this world of laser hair removal. Something I wished to have done to my bikini area during those awkward teenage years where everyone is looking out down there for a lookeroonie.
I’m a french lady (part) so what can I say, we gets a bit hairy ma petit cheries mais oui.
But what’s all this laser hair removal stuff about exactly and will it hurt?
It doesn’t hurt. It prickles. My hair was a bit longish because I didn’t do exactly as I was told I thought more hair would help them grab it but long story short make sure you shave the night before, not the morning before that’s too much time to let it grow back. I have 7 more treatments to get it right no matter ain’t nuthin’ but a thing.
This is after I had it done and feeling cool as a cucumber.
We all saw a video of my first treatment last week which engendered a great discussion on my Facebook too. Keep the treated areas free from tanning and shaving for a week, in which the lasered hair will fall off. As we speak the beginnings of that are happening to your hero fyi.
They brought her in specially for me. We bonded instantly.
All the places you can have lasered on your body.
Great facility and it doesn’t take long at all. 15 minutes, about.
I wasn’t scared either or psyched myself out and am looking forward to the next go at it.
Requisite out front location shots.
I love the cut of this dress. I was going to wear a green one to match Mint’s colour scheme but it was too big on me.
It was definitely a fun time.
Located snugly in fun and flirty Liberty Village there is lots to do after your visit to Mint.
This store in particular drew us in like moths to a flame.
Lets try one of these no hidden agenda good ol fashion blog posts hey? Great, swell. Lets.
I saw terminator Genysis (Genisys? who cares) on Friday and ***SPOILER ALERT***!!
I bawled my eyes out secretly. I thought my date (just this new guy I hang out with meow nbd) was crying at this one part but actually his nose was just shiny and it wasn’t tears I thought I was seeing run down his nose and then Arnold says, “TAKE CARE OF MY SARAH!” and then my face was a goddamn river, super crying. The reason it was so powerful is because Arnie is a robot and the jury’s out on whether he has the capacity to feel or to love and what not but then he goes and says something like that and there you go, hashtag feelings. Then he dies and you are like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO but then he comes back and you are like YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Told you there were spoilers here sorry whatever you spend money then you own it in a sense and then you can do what you want with that information.
Crushed a burger afterward and had to that popcorn was not enough I hadn’t eaten all day either. You can actually eat fast food (I do not reccommend that you do nor endorse it at all in any shape or form) whenever you like as long as you restrict to the point of mental retardation. This woman on facebook was like what’s up with all the burgers Raymi? (plus the crying at terminator) I forgot I had a quarter pounder the day before too oops! When you’re a stressed out maniac your metabolism gets all efficient. I did have a salad on the weekend so, that is good. Then we had a mini-fight about how “no I am not emo” then she got her period and apologized for projecting on to me haha. My daily life is comprised of having no less than 200 stupid conversations with people. It’s a living.
My hair is still growing and getting longer thanks for asking you should see the shower wall when I’m done washing it oh god. Blowdrying it in the summer gives me anxiety attacks from the heat it creates cloaking my back it’s the worst. I look forward to it being down to my waist. It’s my dream to have a nude portrait in a field with super long hair like a forest nymph.
Meeting with a new lit agent this week I’m excited and apprehensive? Mostly pumped. “It’s happening” in that I have ultimate green light to write super dirty erotica and I am kinda freaking out a little. I keep picturing getting a ginormous advance then going on a fuck holiday in Denmark or whatever. Joking joking yo! I have all these stories and experiences in me. If not now when, right?
Anyway I will keep you abreast (or a dick) of all that shit as much as I can. I am going to PEI for 5 days in 8 days so I’ll get some work done or maybe get my friend to ghostwrite a chapter for me LOL. I also can’t believe I am going to PEI! Anyone who lives there who reads my blog meet me in Charlottetown my first night. Let me know. I have never been to PEI before. I’m going to run on the coast, swim in the ocean, take great pics, drink a lot of red wine, eat lobster, blog about it, watch a lot of movies, try not to kill my friend. Pretty much almost exactly what my life is like in Ontario. Hook me up if you’re around.
Went to the beach on Sunday. Port Dover Takeover whagwan.
We had a good time we only wish more of our friends were there. It was a last minute thing and if I knew we were going to Port Dover I would have protested more it’s hard to get me far from home. Thought we were just going to local Burly beach but all in all I am super glad we hit up the Dover. AJ took off on us as we were eating poutine before leaving town which was exciting lol.
Hey guys! Ready for round two of Cause for Paws for which you have no say in the matter? I tried to do this post yesterday but that didn’t really work out. I wanted to do it so I could work on my book today. I think I need to just wake up, lock up my phone without looking at it then get it later on in the day and just deal with all the notifications and messages at that point. ME first, you second.
Hey weirdos! Last week mom and I hit up Cause for Paws at Appleby College – swank! – well lah-dee-dah and so on. I spaced on posting because there is just SO MUCH to share. Blogging is harder than it looks you dings dongs.
I don’t even know how my mom can deal with all her events and photos, being organized and on point. Going to make her a website next week and I bet it would get more hits than mine if she kept at it. I have a lot of things I am hustle juggling at the moment too so it’s a little bananas to even conceive of a project like that.
I consulted _insert celebrity friend namedrop_ for Holly McNarland last week for starting up a blog and realised this is what my mom needs too. Facebook is limiting. Getting photos for events in a random scatter for years makes my job harder, I delay posting and then social media just swallows it all up and into a blackhole of “whatever” and “meh”. Then the guilt oh the guilt.
That guy is so Robin Thicke-ing my butt can you blame him #BumBumLauren. No idea who these people are haha. It was a swell and sociable night will definitely go again next year.
This is my prom dress from when I was 18. My mom made me go to my prom although I was moving to NYC and had a boyfriend. I went and I am glad. I didn’t get a froofy ballgown prom dress cos “I didn’t care” but instead got the practical easy cocktail dress from Le Chateau for my future self to Minx around in.
Looks better on me now. In highschool I didn’t know anything about exercise or eating right I was a party machine. Now, I am a party machine who does it right lol.
These are all my photos we will get through first then my mom’s and you’ll see more of the actual event. We always seem to shut them down (party lingerers). Paris Hilton calls that party debbies but F that B cos she faked that plane crash stunt and I fell for it.
Fun times. Blayne took these. Started out as one then turned into fun. The Cause for Paws event has been in effect for years (14!) and I had never been although all my old friends did/have #itscomplicated but Tracey was hungry to go so I got us on the list last minute. I HATE COMMITING to things but I also like things to look forward to. Feel free to reach out and invite me to your thing btw fyi.
Ooh that’s a good one why I have sat on it so long I dunno.
There is just something about balloons.
Scene change getting awkward meow!
My new buddy. You’ve read my blog for years so you know there’s (should be) a Raymi glossary and ONE of those words in it would be SINGLISH. What does singlish mean? When you is single but also have friends with benefits that conjures the false impression of being with partner yet “no strings” ALSO Singlish means you just have a secret boyfriend you don’t blog or ever talk about LOL.
Bathroom babes. At first it’s all secret selfies then more of if you can’t beat ‘em join em. No, join me!
Thanks ladies!
I got a little VIPLEASE treatment.
Beautiful sky, beautiful grounds, cause, and people. Pretty dreamy.
Takes awhile but then you notice the stink-eye. We bought bones and those were our drink tickets. Cute.
The inside had just as much going on as the outside. I like when events have alternative areas.
Katrina and I have known each other for years, you’ve seen her on here before. I saw on the FB invite she was volunteering and was like yass kween!
Supes successful event with generous, decent people who care about animals. Important! Some of my mother’s pics from this event will be in W magazine.
What outside from inside looked like. Spying on people. Like one of my favourite things and this blog wouldn’t exist if not for it haha.
Auction winners. Mom I can tell which one is staring at you most.
Love crowd shots and seeing those I recognize.
He was a little flirt. The best thing about posh events are the party eccentrics who don’t give a ____! SO amusing. His date was his realtor who sold his house years ago and stayed in contact ever since.
Her. I said we could make a photo album alone about her and those hot dogs. Sometimes I say things.
The woman of the hour, founder of Cause for Paws Beverlie! This woman is incredible.
Do you love my body language? This is how comfortable I am around the police and police dogs. No sudden movements bro.
Party couple outfits win I KNOW I’ve seen this couple before but I can’t place where. His shirt had more ladies on the front. Perfection.
Can’t help but notice a bite taken out of that one.
That chick looks amazing. See how hot beige is?
Oysters on hand very good. One guy tried to drop some knowledge on me and I counter-dropped some oyster knowledge on him. I’m like what is this a malpeque? He had no clue. Don’t oyster crates get stamped on them with the name they are, or region? But I wouldn’t stop there though I asked if it was from Japan.
The PR lady Lisa and I. Note how PR women always wear black. Profesional fashion staple.
Do you see me on my phone. Probably instagramming.
Ooh that dress.
I have a thing for uniforms. I just said that out loud, alone in my room as this photo loaded.
Super fabulous. Would wear.
Party be bumpin’ and adult. Jazz piano music allllll night.
We only had a few squabbles over taking each other’s photos. Sigh that will probably never end.
Me and Santa Paws. I really wish I thought up that nickname the night of this.
Lucky for me the night had a purple theme and matched my Swarovski jewel I added to my outfit last minute.
I missed out on these.
I did not miss out on these.
I super gots to go though unfortunately this day got the better of me. Have a great weekend and look fwd to Pt. II of Cause for Paws soon xo!
Last weekend (the one before that) your hero was invited to check out the Northern Ink Xposure tattoo show at the Westin castle in Toronto. Would have liked more time there who am I even waving at? I do not know fwaha. Great photos Tracey as usual!
VIPlease me. So obnoxious I know sorry but still toot your horn on your own channel.
The dream team at it again.
This one made me nervous. What’s that gang that gets these full body tattoos done? I was thinking in my head my mom might wanna be less in his personal space.
How could we not though.
A lot to capture. Dizzingly good stuff.
I want another tattoo.
Badass.
My mom was trying to get cards for all these people but I couldn’t even deal haha. I was trying to herd us all like cats and losing my mind because we were late for 159 Manning.
Just like a day at the beach, no?
I love her look.
Hi Jill!
Pain is beauty, boo!
So many tattoo ideas, concepts and talents out there. What would I even get? Nothing really means anything to me lately and some fleeting goofy idea like a cupcake or something… I’ll prob have to get a quote or a Raymism. Yeah. Raymism all the way like Raymazing gahahha. Awful.
If I wasn’t a hyperactive douchebag I woulda used this opportunity to cruise the stalls for man meat. But I didn’t. Passing ships always. This statement is 100% unrelated to the above photo I just mean it was a fun atmosphere and tattoo bros be errywhere, artists be shouting to one another all over the place and everyone was checking out everyone else’s ink and you would pretend like people weren’t eyeing your arms up and down I felt so naked in a good and different way. It was like all the tattoo ink/whatever shows you see on TLC.
Nice.
Cool people everywhere.
It was very hard to narrow down my shot selections for this post. My mom took tons.
That’s like, a tattoo in real life lol.
A girl after my own heart.
I have a headache. No I don’t I’m just hilarious.
Hi to all my fans out there love you xo rlw. Here is an unrelated video of me and Teresa dancing from Saturday have a nice day.
