dolled up & ritzy

ove, it is no coincidence that the unhappiest people are the ones pretending to be someone they’re not. And, what for? Whose pleasure could possibly be more important than your own? Delia Blair 21 | Bellemont

[bennettcallaghan]

My refusal is in your best interest darling, but I’m sure there’s another Briar who would be over the moon to assist you in your pursuit of knowledge — if you catch my drift dear.

[deliablair]

I despise you.

[silas-thorne]

Just between us? If we’re on the level here, I believe she’d find any little reason to behead any of you if she had the chance but I doubt she’d want to get her hands dirty.

An Oxford Jane. She did say I scared her sometimes so I supposed it’s not all that bad.

[deliablair]

That may or may not be true. Of course, she has to keep us around in order to have someone to boss around. 

Of course you scare her, Silas. Head of Briarcliffe, Windsor's most eligible bachelor, and man who's going to change the world - you'd intimidate any poor Oxford. Don't put much weight in it, darling.

[beckham-caldwell]

I can offer— Well. Everyone knows what I can offer, don’t they, Miss Delia?

[deliablair]

You're disgusting.

[violethathaway-blog]

You and I should go together sometime! To tell you the truth, I haven’t been shopping in months. 

[deliablair]

We'll invite Ben and make it a day. I'll be the awkward third wheel - don't worry, I don't mind. 

[rxskolnikov]

Yeah, yeah, don’t push your luck. 

[deliablair]

No need to say anything, darling - I know it in my heart. 

[beckham-caldwell]

Which is why I don’t want to find one on my own.

[deliablair]

What can you even offer any poor soul that'd do work for you? Caldwell, I'm just trying to help you out here. Think about the logistics. 

[r-warner]

Not necessarily, just making the most of senior year. Trying to be the best that I can be. Which, I guess, includes doing well in school.

[deliablair]

Reed Warner, a shining example of everything a Briar could aspire to be. You inspire me and all the other saps at Windsor. 

[r-warner]

Here’s a thought, Dee. You could’ve just picked enjoyable courses like me and actually enjoyed doing the coursework, love. Reed knows best.

Seems better than asking a Mrs. Grundy for help.

[deliablair]

Oh, look at you, Mr. Fancy. Have you gone all academic? 

[rxskolnikov]

You know if it wasn’t for your self-deprecating humour, which I wholeheartedly share, you’d be entirely insufferable. 

[deliablair]

Delia Blair? Insufferable? There's no circumstance when those words would ever be in the same sentence. 

[charlotteaisling]

It relieves me to know someone understands the pain. 

[deliablair]

Then what say you we drink so much we don't remember school anymore?

[beckham-caldwell]

Depending on how religious they are, I’m going to go with something along the lines of ‘thank God.’ But I can’t really be sure until you give me the missing piece to the puzzle, baby.

[deliablair]

Find you own genus, Beckham, and stop trying to mooch off of me. Do you know how hard it is these days to find a suitable mini genius? Not easy. 

[charlotteaisling]

I have a newfound appreciation for speakeasies after a week of classes. 

[deliablair]

You and me both, darling. 

[violethathaway-blog]

Oh, It’s no problem- I’d love to help. 

There you go. Find some good things? 

[deliablair]

Oh, I definitely did. England may be lovely, but the shopping really is better in the States.

[viedevera]

Wouldn’t change for the world, you know.

Makes sense. Well — you may be out of luck finding any at this end of the school. Rossdale and Radley galore, it’s only a matter of time till someone tells us to turn the radio down.

[deliablair]

And that's what I always liked about you, doll.

Let me know if you find any good candidates, will you? Though you are right - I ought to be looking at those Kents and Oxfords. I'm surprised Stella hasn't gone bursting in there yet to tell you all to turn the radio down, to be honest.

[beckham-caldwell]

No, but I’ll still take you up on the pseudo-genius offer.

[deliablair]

Look, Caldwell, I'm not sharing my pseudo-genius with you. What are the professors going to think when you start churning in good grades? 

[violethathaway-blog]

Can I help you with that?

[deliablair]

Oh, Violet, you're such a darling. Just pop those bags over in the corner, would you?

[rxskolnikov]

Do you always provide such quality comebacks, or am I just that lucky?

[deliablair]

It must be your lucky day. Normally, I'm the wettest of wet blankets. Really, just the worst.
