it's no mistake clementine bloom; 🔜 next big thing have you seen my latest blog post?

I’m being serious! At least let Gray take some test shots - he’s got connections, you know. We could make you even more famous than you already are.

Yep! That’s my attitude and I’m sticking to it.

I’m not sure coffee foam art was the fame that daddy was hoping for for me, but I guess it beats some of the other choices coughKimKardashiancough.

Okay, but how has Mama been on the DL? Maybe that’ll distract from ~other topics.

grayshq​:

Alright I’ll bring you the baby in exchange for a cup of your best coffee.

Definitely not an equal trade, but deal a thousand times over!

[darlingclementiny]

bartenderaustin​:

Oh don’t worry, I’ll definitely do just fine. Even more than. 

Coffee, huh? I can respect that. It’s like bartending in a way. You gotta get the coffee just right and there’s a million different ways to do it. Maybe I’ll stop by for one after one of my many hangovers.

Geez, and I thought that I was confident.

Do it. I’ll even throw in an espresso bean topper to really sock it to your hangover Hell. Just make sure you ask for me, otherwise who knows what kind of service you’ll get; Clementine Bloom.

[darlingclementiny]

grayshq​:

I can’t. They gave us a cute baby so that was nice. Do you still need my cute child to bring you some extra customers today?

Screw the customers, bring me the baby cuddles!

I mean, my face is pretty hard to forget, don’t you think? Yeah. That’s my bar, actually. Opened it up a few years ago. I’ve seen you on those nights, it’s quite a sight to behold, let me tell you.

... I’ve never had to bribe someone before, but I’m not against it. Just putting that out there.

But to be fair, how am I supposed to shake my groove thing if even the music is putting people to sleep? Sometimes The Grind should be renamed to The Groan. Or The Snore. I can see the flair, but what about the pinache?

You’re just going to have to make up some moves that fit along with the gentle crooning of fifty-million star crossed lovers who are positively, insanely, out-of-this-world in love with the wrong person.

[darlingclementiny]

bartenderaustin​:

You should be patting yourself on the back for the good choice you made. Glad I made the cut. So if you don’t bartend, what do you do?

Uh oh, don’t set me up with high expectations if you can’t reach them. I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you’ll do just fine, though. This time.

I coffeetend. It’s a new art form, really. There’s a certain je ne sais quoi that just can’t be reached by anything even slightly more glamorous. But The Grind gives a pretty killer employee discount, so I can’t complain too much.

callmesuperman​:

Almost never? Kind of curious to know exactly would make you talk someone out of a party.

Ah, but if I told you then I’d have to kill you.

[darlingclementiny]

angbaxter​:

That sounds exciting and dangerous all at the same time. You are a bad influence and honestly, I can’t say I’m mad at it. 

A bad influence or the best influence of your life? It’s the new Sour Patch Kids slogan, y’know.

[darlingclementiny]

pagingemma​:

And did you take them up on your offer? You should let Gray photograph them! Maybe we could bring a lot of business to Monte Island.

Shh. No, no. If you want this over emotional mama to burst into tears, you will not discuss my daughter one day being too big for me to hold.

I don’t know if you’re being serious or kidding... I also may have grossly overestimated my foam art ability.

... Pshhhh, what are you talking about? That’s never going to happen. Little girls stay little forever and ever and...yep. No growing old here.

isabellacosta​:

I’ll be there tomorrow morning for my first iced latte of the summer! School’s officially out and I’m a free woman. I’ve got to celebrate that, even though it was sad watching my Kindergarteners graduate.

Yikes. Big yikes. Something about what you said gave me the heebie-jeebies. Probably the thought of annual heartbreak at the same time every year. Talk about seasonal depression.

[darlingclementiny]

jahckphillips​:

So my lovely, lively (I meant that loosely) manager has suggested, okay more or less decided, that I shouldn’t handle bussing duties at the coffee shop if I’m listening to music again. How the heck am I going to make the day go by faster if I can’t be like Fred Astaire and dance my way around all of the chairs and tables? Help a brother out? @monteisland​

Not a fan of the slow, ‘coffee-beans and soliloquies’ playlist? I thought it added a little bit of flair to the place myself.

[darlingclementiny]

callmesuperman​:

I was bluffing. Totally convinced myself you would have talked me out of it. But, I guess it’s on! Shit, I have to clean.

You gonna recruit us some people? I only have so many names in my phone.

Guess that’s something you need to know about me. I’ll never talk someone out of a party. ... Well, almost never. Hope it was the bomb.com and you took a good keg pull for me, kiddo.

[darlingclementiny]

grayshq​:

I was always hoping that she would take after her Mom, especially since she was such a cute baby herself. Maybe it is. The genes are just super strong on my wifes side of the family too.

Can you blame them? I sure as heck can’t. 

[darlingclementiny]

skylarpierce​:

Gloomy days are only fun when you can stay in bed all day, preferably with someone else and are far too distracted to care about the weather. I do make daily stops to The Grind, but then I always end up back at the bar adding some whiskey to my coffee. Best way to wakeup.

I thought that you looked familiar! Wait, are you talking about Bar None? I’ve gone there a couple times. A couple times that I don’t remember as well as I should, maybe.

[darlingclementiny]

angbaxter​:

Absolutely, but it’s better to be inside knowing you’re missing out on a potential rainstorm than knowing you have to be inside when it’s so nice out. Alas, I am currently trying to write about ten pages. But I guess I could take a break for the sake of a swirly straw.

The swirly straw always wins! I can’t help with writing anything, but I can get you hopped up on chocolate-covered espresso beans to make it seem like it’s going by faster?

[darlingclementiny]

bartenderaustin​:

Wait…should I recognize you? Because I don’t. You don’t work with me, do you? Because if you’re drinking on the job as well, something isn’t adding up here. Unless we have different shifts or some shit like that. Energizer Bunny hop? That sounds entertaining as hell. I’m pretty good at hiding my tipsy face though. I’ve got a good poker face.

No. Don’t worry. You and lil ol’ me haven’t met face to face or whatever. I’m still finding my social circles so I’ve just been adding anyone that is suggested to me and you made the cut. Yay?
