I bought more postcards here, stamps, two mini bottles of Brut to immediately drink on the beach cos Tray was drivin’ me cray. L I V I N’! Ready for some more Aruba Raymi hi-jinx? Gotta make it quick cos I got a hot date afterward. Someone took the day off.
Pizza from Casa Tua. Hi Victor!
It’s true, I do I do I do. I love Aruba!
I love Caribbean food too. Aruba has amazing food.
Here comes your man.
Surf and Turf godmama and I shared. YUM.
My mother takes photos of the exact same things I would had I been taking photos. I invented her. It’s such a vacay relief to not be photo snap happy ADD so I can enjoy myself while watching her take 5000 pictures instead. AND I don’t even have to say anything, plus she finds things I don’t notice too and then she does her editing finishing touches too whereas I post raw cos I am conceited like that.
This is Eagle Beach. It is tres paradise over here, less populated. We wanted to stay at this resort (we did? I’m just the kid who gets no say ever) but I liked where we stayed because there was more action, we would have fought more if we stayed somewhere serene and then all these rich normal folk would be like o_0 all week long. No thanks.
I miss these trees. People in Cali who (pretend to) take palm trees for granted are disgusting. I’ve seen it, cool story loser. I would never diss a Maple Tree like that, or an Evergreen. #Treehugger.
Baby beach. Referred to as such cos you can take little babies here, very shallow water. People snorkle.
What’s that kung fu movie they film in Canada again?
I found a turtle egg, which is the reason why we went to this beach to see turtles. We didn’t, they were busy.
The Wine Ladies had sponsored suits, holla! Proud of those girls. They got us comped VIP dinner, so there’s more work I didn’t have to do. Just show up pretty eat my face off and get wasted. Check, check, check. MATE. I emailed the Hotel btw and said I got them in the NEW YORK TIMES and something tells me this post just might too ;).
Deep fried crab from Pago Pago. I’m glad we didn’t do all-inclusive because we’d be stuck on hotel food, despite this resto being in the hotel we ate elsewhere often.
I miss this building most of all, lots, the hotel beside ours and what I’d stare at while waiting for the elevator to come get me on the 18 floor? 22? Gone memory poof.
A collision that just happened, some local drivers drive like jerks. Combine that with these stupidly merged streets and BLAM. Entire families walking to and fro dinner were posing in front of it LOL.
A guy called me a slut on Facebook (who lives in Toronto so maybe I can punch him in the face myself personally) for posting a photo of myself in this bikini. You are not a slut for wearing a bikini on vacation WITH YOUR TWO MOMS a-hole.
Ryan Patersonyou’re a slut
Raymi Lauren White you’re a f-ing donkey
Raymi Lauren White blocked and reported. wearing a bathingsuit in aruba is not slutty.
Emily Forealbeing in a swimsuit/naked anywhere isn’t slutty it just is
Raymi Lauren White 34 mutual friends too, some nerve. ill punch his face off in toronto.
Mum was super pissing me off at this point. I had a late night. Susanne said she was proud of me (for surviving the week) as I SPRINTED down the airport of YYZ yards and yards maybe even a kilometre ahead of Mom (& Lois, but no offense Lois I had places to be) and kept hoofing it to customs. I always S my P in customs, I had a bad experience once cos I was so nervous I made them suspicious and now I am forever skittish. Anyway, thank goodness for long legs. Also, ” So u climbed a tree ? :P” (Why is it people think they can be so rude to me all the time on les internets?) Raymi Lauren White: my mother was yelling at me to pose a certain way that wasn’t feasible and it was my f-ing idea after a long hangover day on little sleep. I snapped.
Gamblor hangover.
Gorgeous shots mom.
How much do you think I want Georgia’s suit!?
Mom and Lois discovered this stretch of beach further down with these gorge chairs and it was a little more secluded cos it was at the very end, or the tip. Lol.
I def should buy this one.
We loved this talking parrot. It loved me because we have the same nose.
Bajeelions of pictures for later. I have to work on an Aruba post though now so this was a little squeaker to get your fix sorted. No problem. Hey that’s what I’m here for.
Phenom dinner at the Rectory (for once lol) we made the kitchen with five minutes to spare before its closing. The burger was out of this world, this island. Steve eats plain (everything) burgers so when the patty is enough to impress this foodie alone, I am going to sing its praises to whomever will listen. BRB don’t touch anything while I’m gone.

Good luck sports fans!
How much do you love that smoking kid? I danced like a Raymiac, we had so much fun. The rain garbage bag ponchos I saved from the zoo came in killer handy and made people in awe of us.
SOS Strung Out Sunday!!! Have a great one – Long weeeeeekend! Black Keys were amazing! Then we hit Rob’s 40th. Got great pics and had a great time I love my friends. Kay bye.
Little Switzerland jewelry Aruba browsing
Loved that shop. It was closed on Sunday the day I had planned to buy Raymbecca a stingray key chain. Oh well.
So after I got my hair did the day before Aruba I wanted to finally dash to Holt Renfrew and get a new bathing suit. After the stress of that I made a subconscious decision to carb my ass up for some reason, well, when I’m a high-functioning stress-case my metabolism kicks in to overdrive and I mangia mangia mangia.
I was pretty pumped. Like my pretty gums? What, I got nice gums too what can I say, good breeding. You’d buy me if I was a horse Rob says because I asked him what pedigree meant when we were discussing my lineage. Speaking of that guy, it’s his 40th bday jam tonight that I’ll roll in on after the Black Keys, 3 sheets to the wind. Wonder how many soldiers will still be standing at that point, care to wager Dbag? Ps. I got MTV Creeps spotted on this patio and it made me feel “so cool”.
These glasses are way bigger than the new jams I just bought I think a side by side picture comparison is how we can tell who cares really though my chest hurts. I had some cigarette drags last night (EW!) because I ran out of things to consume and you get ADD at the Drive-in right, that’s why suburban people get fat, the boredom. How do you even have time for eating when you can be internet-addicted instead? Boredom is the cause of a lot of the world’s problems, it’s only when I’m bored that I eat. The rest of the time is spent doing all kinds of activities, but you know me, I always end up eating eventually and then it’s an event, a spectacle.
I had pesto two times while in Aruba thanks to this. Once I get in a phase I kill it.
A too expensive gorgeous dress. I have a shirt with the same print so it’s kind of like, why would I do that. When we were shopping here a woman recognized us and later on, weeks later at Cube she was like I saw you. So that feeling watched feeling was legit. I always feel it anyway though. You’re not supposed to say that as a “cewebrity” or any kind of -ity in Toronto but sorry yeah, I get noticed lots. Maybe it’s it the cray, or the, I don’t really know. It happens a lot in Yorkville though period, especially around film festival time. When I lived there I was like can I just go grocery shopping without a parade rubber-necking me (but secretly thoroughly LOVING it) and then you start to walk differently to encourage their thoughts. What is life but one big grand opportunity to fuck with everyone.
I was encouraged to not get this one, sacre bleu! I love it, woulda looked awesome in Aruba. Interesting tan lines.
Also dug this one, would have been a cool shirt. Summer feels almost already over waaah. My new bathing suits makes me feel stressed out and guilty.
As did this one for not getting it. Such a good deal too. Woulda been. I could only afford one.
I belong on a posh coin.
And the wiener of course.
One last look!
Wanted this dress super bad too.
Melodiva reunion!
The dance took control of me for a little bit, I didn’t want to create too much of a stir, just a little one. It wasn’t lost on me that I am still in Toronto and oh yeah, tone down the fun to a 6 from a 9 bro. Not tonight though I am going f#%$% apeshit. It’s been a long winter mes amis.
Oh hi there! On Sunday after I wrapped my tv show filming (last week was nuckin’ futs!) Raymbecca was fungry. Raymbeccsteva. Three’s Company. Whatever.
Then we felt like painting. And catching the rest of the sun off Bech‘s balcony. Which I’m going to do once I hit publish #internetaddict.
I was making super fugly faces for Raymbecca and making her laugh like she just ate a cray-o-lay combo. It’s the family fugly face we do all the time ahahah.
I turned into a painting hog but then we all chilled out and talked about it and then I shared.
What is this the artist? Yes? I haven’t seen it yet but something tells me the no-talking is going to get on my nerves or I will talk the whole way through instead and get on Steve‘s nerves. CAN’T WAIT.
You are being spied on.
It was a long ass week and we got through it bubby!
We broke up one of Bech’s key chains of skull charms and each took one because why the hell else not?
It’s ten times more retarded looking since this I know you saw already okay goodbye.

If you click on my blog post title it opens the post up so you can read the whole title or have the direct url to the post, so you don’t have to load my entire blog. That is all -editor.
What’s up chickenheads? I have to start deleting mad photos off my blackberry it’s almost maxed out at 4000. o_0. When I try to take pics it gives me this weird error page like DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT TAKING ANOTHER PICTURE ASSHOLE something from the hatch in Lost when they don’t press the button. Will the world end if they don’t press it or not, will my phone explode if I take one more? Duh.
Lets go ahead and get our TGIFs out of the way first, thank very much.
Because each skull is filled with every possible colour we started playing with milky food colouring mixtures. There weren’t any pink skulls til I showed up though btw obvs.
The day before I went to Aruba got my hair did at Headcandy cos it was going to fade like cray on vacraytion.
They have candy urrywhere. Big kids. Fun place. Makes sense.
At the airport, totally delirious all nighter no sleep.
I got good at craps but even better at the roulette machine until we lost everything, but it lasted a long time and I have great betting skills. I don’t gamble though (maybe just on life lol) because I vehemently believe that poor people shouldn’t gamble. But on vacation you get a hall pass to do eh-neh-thing ya want. Speaking of, my blog is linked in the New York Times today thanks to my clever Aruba headline: Hurricane Raymi hits Aruba hearts hard. When it Raymes, IT POURS.
Going through the cans of PBE like gangbusters. It’s actually a good tasting beverage not just cough syrup crazy juice, the flavour of it more than adequately covers all that rocket fuel taste up and with vodka it’s perfect for the work all day party all night (tireds) people. I am one of only two people in Toronto who has it so if you ask nicely I’ll save you one, there’s also regular Playboy Energy drink, the non-sugar free which I water down with water cos I cuckoo like that.
I’m going to wear this at the Black Keys tomorrow night. If anyone touches my white shoes I will go ballistic. Watch me. This teeny boustiere “shirt” I tried on over my bra yesterday w/o even looking in a mirror because I knew it would look awesome on me and fit. Even though that’s a Hipster Dress by Numbers shop, it’s what you select and how you put it together, plus having a slammin’ bod don’t hurt. I won’t be wearing the shorts with the pockets out though fyi. Maybe just sometimes.
There is no size on them so I dunno what they are, they’re all different and vintage, how smart and like 100% profit. Capitalists!
Cute biker hats too, on clearance (don’t f-ing copy me). Got one for Hailey too. Some little bitch “friend” of hers deleted her Facebook account. Aunty Raymi ANGRY. The White women (our last name chillax) are no strangers to catty passive aggressive mean girl bitches, jealous. I have enacted a zero tolerance for meanness or any form of negativity in my life recently so if you cross me, I will let you know and you will be exiled. No second chances. “I have had it up to here.”
Some old bat pulled my friend’s ponytail the other night at an outdoor music festival just because she was dancing (she always boogies down) and I said, if I was there when that happened I’d go to jail. The woman was evicted but wow, just wow. You can’t handle the heat of your jealousy so bad you have to get up in someone’s grill about it, so sad.
Found tinier girlier spec versions of my old ones. More lomo film too. Loading it last night made me snap, ugh so horrible. I chose to get my prints (5 rolls) developed digitally for my first try because if they’re all crappy it’s less money, I can scan the good ones. Real photograph copies are amazing though. It will be exciting to see wtf was going on around Thanksgiving and other times. The guy wanted me to come in this morning for a lesson in loading I was like, I am not a morning person and not showing up is proof of that. #diva.
Steve had hair to do and we were late so I finished up my makeup at their place around the corner from the Hoxton where I was to meet up with Bech Melodie M Kim Jules Jesse and so on it was a grand time you’ll see.
Trying to show the difference in sizes which is barely audible. Meh.
Up for some ultimate?! Thanks again CC! You just happen to be Vince’s drink so, thanks for making me look good too.
Had some wine, got ready then left for team yay cray. The women (melodiva + Bechnique) in my life were finally going to meet/hang together chaperoned by me. I was nervous! No I wasn’t, I was drunk! Nerves can’t catch me now lol.
Hey lets go shopping with our purses and grab a sandwich, is what this picture is screaming out at me.
Everyone thought we were sisters when we hung out all the time, even though my hair was platinum. It’s the gorgeous that makes them think that I guess.
And the baditude, yeah, they’re drinking from the same cray stream, def sisters.
So everyone got along just fine and what happened that I so totally called was, they teamed up against me to make fun of me, as usual. Thanks bitches!
And then, I reject their antics and chat up another girl then they get all crazy friend jealous possessive and get up all on me and Lindsay trying to tell a very simple NXNE story but no, Raymi is the party bicycle the girls get to ride whenever the want. Ghostride me across the floor and leave me for Igor. LOLZ.
More photobombs and Dave was also there too, he said SO WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS to me a few times and it made me blubber spit laugh bust up in the middle of my sentences each time. I am too easy. Easy now.
When I finally squeeze the girls out of shot fricking Michael Kim shows up double-fisting it GUH-REAT. I couldn’t even get myself anyway so never mind.
SO talking shit about me.
Melodie backed that suspicion up too. When you diss me I win, remember that!
Clearance dresses are the best. I found a very nice one I’m going to wear to Steve’s sister’s wedding rehearsal dinner. Reduced from $89 to $39 DISCOUNT HIGH. Maybe I’ll rent a ballin’ gown from Rent Frock Repeat for the actual wedding, we’ll see and I def am gonna make sure I’m still a size 2.
Steve said Mel’s hair was _________? Awesome, beautiful? Something like that. He’s a hair guy so he would know, I was like LOOK AT THIS as I put my hands on her shaved head and pushed her head down. Bossy is a two way street.
I can actually walk in these, they’re so much safer than my Guess nude heels which are gorgeous but they slip off at the heels when I walk.
Our favourite haunt because one of us takes a very long time getting ready. The trainwrecks that come in are great entertainment, the regular loner lushes (we saw a hook-up go down it was awesome!) and then the (hair) clients that come by who know Steve like 5 a night at least. My faves are the “don’t go home with a dude go home with food” chicks.
My horse long legs after a time being bent at 90 degrees, require a little stretch.
Oh look my Diana F. Maybe I’ll drop off film today so we can see what Thanksgiving looked like lol.
Hope the film turns out. I smooth criminaled lomography for a free camera and then never developed my film they must hate me. Took me forever to figure out how to work the thing.
Time to up my game people.
Maybe I’ll have to get more wedges. Definitely. I’ll wear these for my playboy photoshoot. Plus extensions. Some crazy high fashion hair and voila, lets do this.
Been doing more “art” lately. There are 20 skulls in total (please donate us some) and they’re all going to be different themed, we have a corks one + empty lighters. This is the crazy one. I want to do a Christmas one, Halloween, St. Patty’s, buttons, Steve has ideas too. I hope Dan Aykroyd will come. And bring Susan Sarandon too.
I’m going dedicate an entire post to them so hang tight kittens.
Maybe some other art will be there too. Raymi’s Great Estate Sale. Noel had one of those.
Catching the sun while I can. #ArubaRaymi withdrawal
Off to eat late. If your restaurant’s kitchen is open til midnight please let me know. I guess it’s snack bar next time otherwise. Which means I’ll be drinking Absinthe.
This night calls for Violet glasses.
Love her as that role and the braids. Makes me miss my blond a little.
I finally realized that all that red wine I’ve been enjoying lately was making me too hung so we just got a half bottle this time. Always go with the Carmen.
I’ll show you a sommelier.
We are turning into the same person. Glasses glasses glasses!
Al dente macaroni really cheesed me off I was a fricking bloated barrel the rest of the night AND they forgot the whole truffle part to the “truffle mac”. Boo. I still love you guys though. We always sit in the same booth.
Then we get spotted by lots of people, a lot of Steve’s clients and friends. The staff love us and get a kick out of our bullshit. We order a lot of things too cos I have a food fetish and Steve is a picky eater. Why are they always so picky?
So that’s what the top of my head looked like.
I love summer. Summer of Raymi. I am going to be mighty sad when it’s fall.
Good one.
The vest kills me. He was in my scarf by the end of the night and looked like Al Capone. It worked.
Ghosty friend, always say what’s up to.
Finally. Will never order the flat iron steak again, too chewy. I had called Watusi to see if the kitchen was still open and Andy got on the phone haha he was happy to hear from me and surprised. One time I called the random chinese restaurant Noel was eating in and they put him on the phone at his table and he laughed his fucking head off. That’s two Noel references for this post now I have to email him.
Pulled pork and onions on top of a beef burger.
And onion rings.
Hip Hop Burger time.
Yum yum in my tum tum. No I will never stop talking like this never. Ever.
Hipster Harrison Ford. Where’s your whip?
Scarves are the best for summer for when you get restaurant cold™. Time to get more, I don’t want to murder this one. But I think it’s fine to have some iconic staples people can identify over the years. The many many blog years.
Still got it though bro.
Kay lets catch up on some other junk I previously uploaded while I’m at it. BRB.

Blog title came from this. Still dig the orig. despite all clubs playing the hell out of the remix.
IS it thirsty Thursday already?
Thanks CC. Also if you’re in an unsigned band, you should check them out on FB and enter their contest, submission deadline is August 27. You can win $3000 or new gear + studio time and your ass flown to Toronto to do the business thing-thang-a-lang. #MixedandReady is the hashtag and Canadian Club Canada is how you find out more about the contest. Good luck! And as they say back in the day, when it rains booze, it pours!
Who goes grocery shopping meets with a ballin’ booze rep and gets a lift right back to their crib with all their shopping? C’est moi. Thanks Absolut. We killed the bottle, responsibly of course. I love high-end distilled vodka.
