unable to stifle the sarcastic laugh that escaped her, tatyana turned her head to lay sight on the rather entitled woman seated to her left. โwatch your tone.โ she spat back with mild amusement, her tone laced with venom and annoyance. โiโm sure you can find another position around here to get your sun. not to mention i was here before you.โ spoken like the ice queen she was, she couldnโt help but roll her eyes at the height of ridiculousness on display before her. โyouโre lucky iโm in a good mood, otherwise i wouldnโt be nearly as nice as i am right now.โ
Sunset Villa Beach party (craft station) โธ closed for @femininomencn Julianna (& Ruby)
"Your strawberry slush, mademoiselle," Felipe announced, attempting his best french waiter impression as he set the small drink down near Ruby. "And for mon chรฉrie, a lemonade slush," he placed it down in front of Julianna, giving her a quick peck on her cheek before taking a seat next to her. "How're the bracelets coming along?"
engrossed in the activity in front of her, julianna carefully thread pastel beads one after the other along the clear plastic string as she listened to her granddaughter proudly tell her all about what she was learning at school.
it wasnโt until her partner returned to the table with slushes in tow that she looked up. she couldnโt help the chuckle that left her lips as she heard his attempt at a french accent, ruby burst into a fit of giggles before thanking felipe with a โthanks, buelo!โ in between loud cackles.
watching on with amusement, julie melted into him as he kissed her on the cheek. โthank you, my love.โ she cooed lovingly, picking up her drink before taking a sip. โyour french accent isnโt half bad, actually. pretty impressive.โ having travelled france extensively in her youth and being fluent in the language, she was tickled by his accent ability. not to mention she found it rather sexy. although, it didnโt hold a candle to when he spoke to her in his mother tongue.
โweโre having fun! as you can see iโm winging it but little miss ruby over here is so good at braclet making that sheโs already on her third one!โ she responded, her gaze flickering back over to the little girl with a look of pure adoration in her eyes. her granddaughter was her world, and the fact she got on so well with felipe meant everything to her. โnow, buelo, ruby and i want to know if youโre going to make a bracelet too?โ the woman questioned with a grin, nudging him playfully with her shoulder.
a lover of creatures of all kinds, mila couldnโt help the soft smile that crept upon her face as she watched the affectionate feline settle so comfortably in the arms of her friend, as if they were made for them. โi actually think i saw them wandering around the neighbourhood a couple days ago. if this is the cat iโm thinking of, i actually tried to catch it but some dumbass guy on a skateboard scared her off.โ she replied, letting out an exasperated sigh as she recalled the incident. โi think theyโve chosen you! you got any room for a fur baby at your place?โ
having been an early riser for a majority of her adult life, tatyana never skipped her morning walk. she found that it helped to wake her up in preparation for whatever the day had in store for her and eased any and all pent up stress sheโd accumulated from the day before.
feeling her iphone vibrate in her pocket, she took a few moments to stop to check her notifications, using the break to rehydrate herself. sheโd assumed she had the park to herself before the sound of a strangerโs voice captured her attention.
her gaze lifted from her phone screen to the other, giving them a tight-lipped, polite smile. โi wake up at 4 oโclock every morningโฆ i like getting out before the sunโs up. itโs peaceful.โ she explained with a nonchalant shrug before giving him once over with a raised brow. โhow about you? iโm surprised i havenโt seen you out here before.โ
it was a tiring day and evelyn decided to take a seat at the bar. luckily, she was off tomorrow so she figured she'd stop by. she wrapped her hands around the glass and turned her head toward the other when she noticed someone had decided to sit down beside of her. " long day for you too ? " she'd ask, bringing her cup up to her lips. " all i know is.. i'm just glad that i won't have to set my alarms too early for tomorrow. "
in dire need of a margarita, mila took a seat at the nearest available barstool, a sigh escaping blush stained lips as she signalled to the bartender, a close friend of hers, to get her signature drink of choice. one of many perks that came with befriending the staff was the privilege of being able to skip the queue of patrons lining up for their own orders.
still in somewhat of a daze, it took the blonde a few moments to register that the stranger by her side had spoken to her. โhuh? โฆoh!โ a pause, followed by a slight chuckle. โi guess you could say that. i got roped into helping a friend move apartments, and of course she had to get the one on the 15th floor with a fucking broken elevator.โ she replied, her tone laced with playful annoyance. โno alarm? how decadent! have you got any plans for your day off?โ
[ โฆ ] โ youโre not from around here , are you? i figured because you totally just missed MILA CARTER walking by. donโt tell me you donโt know who SHE is? they kind of look like HUNTER SCHAFER and i could be wrong but i think that they might be 27 years old right now. theyโve been living in palmview for the last 16 YEARS. and i donโt know if anyone has ever told them this before but they kind of remind me of SAMANTHA JONES from SEX AND THE CITY. if you stick around the town long enough you might catch them in action working at SATIN ROSE LOUNGE as a DANCER. you see this town isnโt really that big of a place, some folks like to call them the SUGAR BABY of palmview! they took a liking to the name too after a while, go figure. oh crap, they must have heard me yapping. theyโre coming this way. i got to warn you though, rumor has it they can pretty SECRETIVE at times. i wouldnโt take it too seriously though, from the times iโve spoken to them they seemed pretty CHARISMATIC to me. we see each other all the time since they live in that THREE BEDROOMS residenceย beside me over in MANGO BAY / LOFT 3A / MANGO BAY LOFTS. i better leave you to it. it was nice meeting you!ย ย

BIOGRAPHY
A Washington, D.C. native, Mila spent the first 11 years of her life living in the countryโs capital before her family made the move to Palmview, Florida.
At first she wasnโt on board with moving so far away from her friends and everything she knew, but she settled into the town and her new school, quickly becoming accustomed to her new homeโs way of life and forming her new circle of friends.
Sixteen years later, Mila is still living in Palmview, residing in a loft with three friends. For the last three years she has made a living as an erotic dancer at Satin Rose Lounge. The schedule suits her as a night owl and the money has proven to be better than any nine-to-five sheโd ever held. Plus, dancing was something she enjoyed doing โ a way to express herself, and getting paid for it is just a bonus.
as the outro of i like it like that by pete rodriguez began to fade out, julianna flopped her head dramatically against felipeโs chest in momentary exhaustion, taking a moment for a quick breather, her body still firmly pressed against his. โhow about another drink? then we can get back to tearing up the dancefloor?โ she suggested with a raised brow. โi already knew this but you really do know how to wear me out.โ the comment was suggestive in nature as a wickedly mischievous smirk forming upon her face.

BIOGRAPHY
Born in Shanghai, China but adopted by a Russian couple, Tatyana was raised in Moscow. From a young age she still remained connected to her Chinese roots; something her parents were adamant about when they made the decision to adopt, as well as choosing not to change their daughterโs surname from birth.
Growing up Tatyana and her parents would visit China several times a year; a luxury afforded by her parentsโ well-paid careers in medicine. This is something sheโll be forever grateful for, knowing not everyone had the opportunities and privileges she often took for granted.
At 19 years old, in pursuit of adventure and an extreme tree change, Taty moved all the way from her familiar life in Moscow to a brand new life in the United States. She settled in San Francisco, dancing at a local strip club while she did a business course. After completing her studies, she stopped stripping and ended up landing a job as the manager of one of the cityโs most famous burlesque clubs. She stayed in San Francisco for 38 years before relocating to Palmview for a fresh start after going through a difficult break-up from her girlfriend of 10 years.
Since arriving in town, she is now the owner of Satin Rose Lounge and sees the business as her โbabyโ. Some may call her a workaholic, but sheโll always deny it. Sheโs very protective of all the dancers who work for her, and has taken on a maternal role at the club and is a mother figure to many of her dancers.
When it comes to her love life, Tatyana isnโt looking for anything long-term ( but if the right person were to come along, sheโd be open to it ). At the moment sheโs casually dating, and sheโs currently seeing multiple women at once.

BIOGRAPHY
Born in the Malaysian town of Balik Pulau, Julianna is the daughter of a doctor and a seamstress. She has two siblings, one older and one younger.
At the age of 18, she moved from her hometown to the United States, settling in Palmview, where she attended the local university to study Journalism. After graduating, she decided to stay in the town as sheโd fallen in love with the townโs way of life.
She had dreams of working in television journalism, and being someone who refused to give up on her ambitions and dreams, that was exactly where she ended up. She now works at the local news station as their lead news anchor. Sheโs well-known around town due to her career.
At the age of 28, she married her now ex husband and they ended up having three children together, their eldest being their only biological child and a few years later they decided to expand their family via adoption, ending up adopting two kids over a span of several years.
Five years ago, she found out that her husband had been having an affair with his secretary, which completely shattered her heart. Their divorce was quite a messy one and they're not on the greatest terms, but on the rare occasion they're in the same room, they interact in a civil way for the sake of their children.
As of Feburary 14th 2025, Julianna is in a loving and committed relationship with Felipe Feliz, whom she lives with in 520 Pacific Drive with their three dogs children. They had been friends for over a decade before becoming a couple (it was very much a 'will-they-won't-they' thing, and their friends had put on bets on whether or not the two lovebirds would ever make a move.
wanted connections: juliannaโs children, her ex husband, her co-anchor at the tv station, best friend(s), personal assistant, gym buddy, fellow dog parent she met at puppy preschool (she has a 6 month old jack russell named dolly), just about anything!
