it's all in me

Mercedes is the name and in the words of Ann Nesby, lovin' is really my game. Music junkie and shopping queen. Old enough to know better, young enough to not care.

HARPER: what's most important here is

HARPER: what kind of vibe are you going for?

HARPER: cute? sexy? scream inducing?

MERCEDES: you definitely get a singing Jones-O-Gram.

MERCEDES: I mean, I'm cute all the time so sexy and scream inducing are our only two options. What direction are you going in?

ARI: Definitely waggle your brow, mmhm. That definitely sounds like the best option to me. I think that could totes be arranged. Like a proper woo'ing. I watch a lot of old black and white dramatic movies, so this could get real, real quick.

ARI: Short red dress? Huh? I definitely wasn't thinking about that, you in a short red dress.

CEDES: Why does that sound so suggestive? A wiggling brow shouldn't hold so much connotation. Pause, how'd we get to full on wooing?

CEDES: Ari, you were thinking about the gams in the Uhura fit.

ARI: And it comes to my attention this is a tragedy and we can't have it!

ARI: I vote Uhura. I'm going as Spock *waggles brow*

ARI: Rhoda is going to be the USS Enterprise. I could totally take you for a ride.

MERCEDES: Ari, I don't know whether to shame you or waggle my brows. But you should definitely tell Rhoda to by me dinner first.

MERCEDES: Although a short red dress would be v cute.

MERCEDES: hmmmmmm.

REAGAN: I want to give them all a chance at some point, but I can definitely start with badass scary witches.

REAGAN: Oh, no judgment here! I intend to purposefully cover myself up with as many blankets to bite out the cold, but also the possible scary scenes.

REAGAN: How's it going, Mercedes?

MERCEDES: It'll probably take a lot of crown and apple juice but I'll get around to Murder House and Asylum. I hear those are the peak "scary" seasons.

MERCEDES: That sounds like a plan I can get behind, in front of, and hug from both sides. Just call us Team "We Won't Admit It, but Casper did Make Us a Little Scared."

MERCEDES: It's going, I took hiatus and now I'm back and well right now I'm ready to eat a lot of Halloween Candy and post cute photos of my costume up.

MERCEDES: How're you Pres?

MATT: Depends

MATT: How slutty do we (you) want to get?

MERCEDES: I mean with all the t&a I got, it's bound to get a touch thotish.

MERCEDES: But I can always get behind a good slutty costume. I heard someone say slutty Zelda and I haven't known too much peace since.

JACKIE: I'd been on ten like Kendrick for so long, and everything was all good, then I let some hot blonde put me on three and Im never doin that shit again, so 10 it is!

JACKIE: Nah, you keep me around because I'm hot and super dope. Lez be honest

JACKIE: No was to Cheetah Girls because I can't have ya fine ass out here being lame. What kind of friend would that make me?

JACKIE: I know! Do it! I'm not sure yet but i gots a couple ideas. None of them disney though all of them bad ass vixens.

MERCEDES: ....and we somehow found ourselves in talking about our exes territory. Okay but can you take it down to like a 7. It's still loud but kinda tolerable.

MERCEDES: I keep you around to feed my ego and because you kinda funny from time to time. Lezbi honest about that.

MERCEDES: Galleria was an icon, one. Thirdly, we don't slander Cheetah Girls 1 or 2 in my presence. The outfits were ICONIC.

MERCEDES: Vixens like Melyssa Ford or???

YES, I lost my old job. YES, no other coffee shops wanted to take me in. YES, I I work at Starbucks now. YES, they make me wear the stupid green apron and hat. YES, they don’t appreciate my coffee artistry and the fact that I practically invented latte art. And yes, I hate my job. 

Mind your business.

[cedesgirlbye]

Well, when you end it with mind your business that just makes me want to do the opposite. But I just know you look cute in the apron and hat. Like c’mon, I’d let you get away with spelling my name wrong.

[streetsmartstevie]

In case folks missed the memo, I’m back in action from my shop swap in Cali. It was both the best and worst couple months of my life– got to meet a lot of great artists, networked, got started on the sleeve that I’ve always wanted, and lived with my best friend. Downsides? My best friend is a damn slob and San Francisco is a bitch to bike around. God, those hills murdered my legs. 

Either way, it's good to be back in NYC. How are other folks doing? Excited for Halloween party season?

[cedesgirlbye]

Yes, it murdered your legs. But on the flip side that must mean you have the calves of goddess and that’s something I’d pay good money to see. Am I excited for the Halloween season? Absolutely. The real question is figuring which ones am I gonna go to so I can drink for free.

[pucker-sauce]

Ya girl back on the scene. Ladies get at me!

Also, feed me…

[cedesgirlbye]

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nah, it’s just tall light skin, I see in the distance.

You better order Postmates like the rest of us and hope your driver is cute.

JACKIE: I mean if you're into tellin' big ass lies do you, but I think Jesus frowns on that or something.

JACKIE: I mean you fine fine head to toe, but.. dat ass.

JACKIE: No. No.

JACKIE: No.

JACKIE: If you're thinking Disney, I like you for Jasmine. If you want Disney singers, maybe like one of the Hercules muses, because you'd look good in a toga. Also I have always had the hots for the Red Queen.

MERCEDES: I'm into taking you from being on ten at all times to maybe a palatable 5 or 6.

MERCEDES: This is what I keep you around for.

MERCEDES: You won't have to hear that if you chill.

MERCEDES: .... that toga one is kinda hot. Damn you. What are you going as?

[cedesgirlbye]

text 📲 jackie 😑

JACKIE: You didn't even have to say it, because I know you know I'm cute.

JACKIE: Please have you seen your ass? You don't have to be naked for me to follow.

JACKIE: I'on know MJ. like what are you into right now pop culture wise?

MERCEDES: Would you rather I say you're just alright looking?

MERCEDES: .... continue with the compliments. I'll let the fact they're about my ass fly for the evening.

MERCEDES: I had a feeling you'd listen if I threatened to block.

MERCEDES: I thought about going as the Cheetah Girls but let's keepit real I don't have the funds to go as all four or the friends to make it a group affair.

[yesyesyoumae]

No shade, but I want to skip over Halloween and head straight to CHRISTMAS. I have never heard of a Halloween rom-com, but come November I’m getting my Christmas rom-coms list ready!

Love Actually?? SERENDIPITY?? While You Were Sleeping?? A Christmas Prince?? Bridget Jones’s Diary?? And then we have Henry Goulding and Emilia Clarke coming for my NECK with Last Christmas coming out soon???

Until someone gives me a Halloween rom-com, Halloween is cancelled thank you!!!

[cedesgirlbye]

This is Practical Magic and The Nightmare Before Christmas erasure and I just have to say, wow. How do you forget the two great Halloween movies ever? As much as I like her as Daenerys Stormborn, I’m gonna need Emilia Clarke to leave singing to the professionals. But Henry Goulding however..... I’d watch anything with him.

JACKIE: Why you gosta lie Creg! You know I'm cute. I would appreciate the iconic-ness, the whole night. Like I'd just follow you around like a CUTE ass puppy dog.

JACKIE: You just gone government name me like that? I prob won't leave you alone evah though so... yeah.

MERCEDES: I do the Lord's work and compliment someone and I never hear the end of it 🙄.

MERCEDES: I'm definitely NOT going in my birthday suit so you can nix that follow my ass around all night idea.

MERCEDES: and you're not offering any other suggestions besides being nude, I'm gonna block you for like a week.

[cedesgirlbye]

text 📲 jackie 😑

JACKIE: Now here's a wild ass idea but, you ever considered birthday suit?

JACKIE: I was gone be a pimp, but halloween is about being something you're not, so Im still open to ideas myself.

MERCEDES: 😑

MERCEDES: You're not cute and as iconic I'd be for dropping my jacket at the party I am actively trying not get arrested for a drunk and disorderly or exposing myself.

MERCEDES: You're gonna leave me alone jacqueline.

REAGAN: Give me your recs of the best American Horror Story seasons! Make sure you have proof!

REAGAN: I’d also appreciate ways to not feel like a total wimp and get through a single episode without turning it off to feel less scared.

REAGAN: I really thought I was more of a badass.

MERCEDES: I say a great season to start is Coven.

MERCEDES: But it should be greatly noted that I watched through my fingers. But who doesn't love witches?

MERCEDES: Those were some bad bitches.
