An Australian girl through and through, Margot has been in New York since 2007. She’d always imagined an existence outside of her home country, and coming from a family from humble means meant she was so desperate to make something of herself.

Being in NYC was like something out of a dream, it was worlds away from her life in Australia, and wasn’t this where dreams were made? She was exactly where she needed to be, and with her ruthless ambition, she wouldn’t let anyone get in her way.

Putting her advertising degree to perfect use, she got an internship at one of the biggest firms in the country, they found her to be the perfect asset from the beginning. Her charm, accent and drive impressed those in the higher ranks, they saw her potential from the very beginning.

Over the years as she worked her way up the hierarchy at Omnicon, Margot met a very wealthy financier who was older than her. He swept her off hr feet -- he had a track record of failed marriages, scorned ex-wives who tried to get every penny they could from him. He was a ruthless, powerful individual and that immediately attracted her to him, aside from the obvious monetary benefits.

They married a few years after getting together and he treated her like a queen. Of course, they both had wandering eyes, but they never questioned it or cared. That’s what he liked about her -- she turned a blind eye to his cheating as long as he did the same for her, as well as shower her in the luxuries she desired.

Fast forward to 2021, Margot is on top of the world. She’s considered a shark in her industry, and is one of the leading advertising executives at Omnicom, and she worked hard to get where she is now.

She’s still married to her husband, and they have no children together, but she is the step-mother to his 4 adult children from his previous marriages. They don’t like her, and she doesn’t give a fuck. Honestly, she gives zero fucks about what anyone thinks of her, but if she needs to, she has no qualms in tearing anyone down.

Open starter

Tessa was having the perfect morning. She opened up the morning with a run, then got some healthy smoothie and now she was out to get some breakfast before meeting up with some potential clients. She arrived to the coffee shop she liked and of course, the line was so long she couldn’t see the barista. After a long wait she finally ordered some coffee with a blueberry muffin. She took a seat next to one of the tables and scrolled down her phone. Then, out of no where she felt like something wad spilled on her back. “Fuck!” She said jumping off her chair “Great…” She said as she looked at her soaked shirt.  

@enycstarters·

Margot was a woman on the run. She’d caught sight of a jilted ex lover as she stood in line for her coffee, she’d ghosted the man without a second thought and hadn’t told him she was very much married. It was clear that he’d seen her by now and on this particular day, she really didn’t have time for an argument. On any other day? Sure! But not this one. There was work that had to be done.

Without thinking amidst her rush out the door, she felt herself clash with someone and as she looked down, she noticed the coffee she had spilled -- the coffee that took so fucking long to get. “Oh, really? God damn.” She cursed, reaching to pull some tissues out of her purse. “Look, I’m sorry. I wasn’t watching where I was going and...” Letting out a sigh, she held up the kleenex in her hand. “May I wipe it off? I’m not being weird, but it’s the least I could do.”

“from what i’m hearing, the other is the bitch for trying to meddle with your family.” perhaps it wasn’t exactly what the other woman was saying, or meant even, but aisling’s obsession with her perfect family’s reputation was stronger than having siblings together at christmas night. she had no idea how the other felt, and she would never be in her shoes (after all, she had married until death) but it wasn’t the point either in this conversation. “she is the ex wife for a reason. christmas is the time to appreciate your family and she no longer fits in the picture. she should stay in her lane. if i were you, i’d tell her to fuck off. but i don’t talk like that.” her last words were almost whispered.

“Finally someone who actually makes sense.” Margot replied with a wave of relief, being reassured that she wasn’t being entirely unreasonable was a good boost for her ego. She hated being wrong, and Aisling’s support was very much appreciated. “I was already tempted to tell her to get fucked but figured I’d play nice for the sake of my husband.” Sighing, she ran her fingers through her hair. “Enough about my drama, how are you?”

“Ouch, second on your list?” Mikael started, separating from the small circle of conversation that was happening next to him, approaching the woman “I mean that’s funny, last time I checked I was on top"  the man joked, now offering her a soft smile "Which position would you be in the ‘gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss’ ranking?" 

Truth be told, he was a cheater before even met her, it was unfair to blame it all on her, still the fact didn’t exactly exclude Margot’s name from the list of mistakes that had led to his separation from Alaska; it was right beside Lily’s and his own "It has been a while, true, but don’t worry, you would never be easily forgotten”

Despite all the sarcasm and teasing, Mikael had no issue with Margot’s presence in his life, or the lack of it “I’m always happy to see you” it was true, even if their closeness wasn’t a good way of recovering Alaska’s trust, something he decided to worry about another time “Will you join me for drinks? I mean, I hope I’m not stealing you from any potential date” 

“Right behind my husband, darling. It’s a rather extensive list, so count yourself lucky.” Margot cooed, her rouge painted lips curving into a smirk. Her eyes flitted down to the large diamond that adorned her ring finger, as much as she truly loved her husband, she couldn’t imagine a life where the presence of a wedding band would stop her from exploring her inner most desires. Luckily she had a spouse who was understanding of her wandering eye.

In the presence of Mikah, she truly enjoyed herself. He was a joy to be around ── not only that, but he was easy on the eyes too. “Why not all three? I think I qualify for any of those three titles.” Genuine words from a not so genuine woman. She had no reason to hide the fact she played dirty both professionally and personally.

“Actually, you wouldn’t be stealing me away at all. I’m all yours.” She offered him a smile, thoroughly glad that they’d had this chance encounter. They always had fun, no matter what they did. “I’d love to join you for drinks. There’s nothing I’d want more. I was actually just coming up to refresh mine. What are you having?”

[exclusivegossip]

Do you think Margot and Aisling have ever explored each others bodies?? I think they have.

"I would too if my friends were that pretty, they're the first to go if we start eating each other in the apocalypse. You have to make sure you're not the most appetizing meal. Don’t say you wouldn’t do it.” ( @aislingmacintosh & @margotcrawford )

[margotcrawford]

“If Aisling wants to explore my body, I’m available.”

a closed starter for @miscondvct

On her third martini of the night, Margot scanned the room for anything, anyone to keep her entertained until she went home. Her husband was working late, and she likely wouldn’t see him until she left for work the next morning. She wasn’t above drinking alone, but being as beautiful as she was, she never had to actually resort to it.

Without missing a beat, her gaze zeroed in on an all too familiar face. One she simply could never bring herself to forget. Mikah Weiner. A man who’s bed she was in too many times to count and whose marriage she had a hand in destroying. But god, she had an awful lot of fun doing so. 

“Well, well, well...” She greeted with a smirk as she approached him at the end of the bar. “If it isn’t my second favorite man on Wall Street.” The first being her husband. “It’s been a while, how are you? Happy to see me?”

      ——HIS EXPRESSION TOLD all as far as nicola went. the mere mention of her name sent something related to a shiver up the base of kai’s spine - and not in the way nicola would have liked, he imagined. wife two of three —she’d spin the yarn to make anyone believe that kai was some self-absorbed monster ( he was, a bit ) that was only interested in work and had done nothing but neglect her, save to put two children inside of her. part of it was true … work would always be a top priority of his, and he had two children with her, but her own version of manipulation and deceit was spun solely for pity points. she’d tried to rake him over the coals, her plan to wed and divorce him for half of his estate ( or more ) failed horribly because of his penchant for prenuptial agreements. kai crawford was no idiot, among the many things he did tend to be.

      so he accepted the glass of scotch from wife three of three —the one that he believed to be it, and offered her a genuine smile ( for as small at it was ). he wasn’t the most expressive man, one needed to pay mind to his words and his body language to glean any sense of FEELING from what he intended, but margot seemed to be well-versed in that silent speech. still, the sneer that nicola’s name brought - the bitterness swallowed down with a long draw from the scotch - was palpable. heavily visible, even. “ i didn’t realize that she was even considered as an invitation. ”

      the doing of his children, no doubt. so much was confirmed with margot’s explanation and he nodded as he rest the glass on his knee, fingers tracing the rim absently. “ i’d rather swallow broken glass than see her, if that’s any indication of an answer. ” so he sighed, turned his body more amicably toward his better half and nodded in agreement, “ i’ll talk to them. they know better than to press the issue with me, i’d hoped they knew better than to try with you. consider it dealt with. ” AND THAT WAS THAT.

      “ tell me about what you have planned. color schemes, anyone i need to be behaved around. ” as if he ever was less than perfect before company. it was a means to keep her talking —he liked the sound of her voice, the drawl of her accent and the way it curled delicately around words he wouldn’t suspect. he settled when he was closer to her, shoulders brushing each time he inhaled, and took another swallow of scotch.

──

Margot was fluent in the art of reading Kai. A skill she’d acquired throughout the entire time they’d been together. Every look, every move... she could see what everyone else couldn’t: the things that were left unsaid, and she liked to believe it was the same for him. So when she caught sight of the sour look resting upon his face, she couldn’t help but smirk. At least she wasn’t the only one who felt sick when the scorned ex wife was brought up. Truthfully she felt sorry that her husband still had to deal with such a nuisance. Move the fuck on, Nicola.

“That’s what I said, but they think since she’s their mother and has no plans that she should join us, but no. No fucking way.” She was glad that she was often on the same wavelength as Kai, one of the reasons they went so well together. There’d been a time just short of a year prior that Margot had somewhat of a spat with Nicola, entirely provoked by the unflattering names that had been thrown in her direction. GOLD DIGGING BITCH being one of them.

I’d rather swallow broken glass. Now that broke the brunette’s poker face, chuckling a little at the man’s shameless nonchalance to the situation. She could always count on him. “We can’t have that then, darling. And thank you, I really appreciate it. I’m really trying with the kids, and they’re not budging. It’s been years and they’re still not warming up to me.” Not that she particularly cared if her step children weren’t fond of her, but for Kai, she was willing to try.

“The decorations are silver and white, I’ve been feeling like red decorations can be a little overdone, don’t you think? I prefer subtle, but beautiful.” As she spoke, her hands moving rapidly with each word -- a habit of hers when she was clearly passionate about something.

Taking a sip of her scotch, welcoming the burn at the back of her throat, she gazed up at Kai, an adoring smile tugging at her lips. “You’re always well behaved, but your boss and his wife will be here ── they RSVP’d last minute, I think their Italian vacation had to be cancelled, so they’ll stay in New York over the holidays.”

There was nothing Margot enjoyed more than to throw a lavish party, the life she led now was far different to the one she had in Australia. Her family didn’t have much, and now she felt like she was making up for it. They both worked hard, they deserved everything they had, and she always made sure to look after her parents back home. Aside from Kai, they were two of the people that meant the most to her.

“I’m still deciding what I should wear. It’s between the silver Versace dress or the red Dior dress. Which would you prefer to be standing next to, hm?” Not that she thought he’d actually care about what she’d be adorned in, but she liked to give him the option, especially when it came to what he would be wearing. There was no way their color palette could clash.

[kaicrawford]

[text]: They are gonna stay together and get married and have 2 children before he wakes up and realizes that there is more to life than anal.

[text]: I finished masturbating now I'm eating french toast crunch. What is life, and what are friends.

[text]: Yeah, I'm just gonna try to repress that and remember him for his big dick and perfect jawline.

[text]: That's why my New Years resolution was no more blondes. They're all bad news.

[text]: [_______] disappeared two hours ago with a stripper named "delicious." Haven't seen him since.

[text]: I need you to ship me a penis cookie care package.

[text]: NO. FUCK YOU. I HOPE SOMEONE REPLACES YOUR LUBE WITH HOT SAUCE.

[text]: why is "bang the student affairs grad assistant" the third highest thing on your semester goals list

[text]: You tried crawling through the apartment window instead of going through the wide open door next to it

[text]: It was the highest I'd ever been. I felt like a blob. A blob eating a burrito.

[text]: fuck you I'm eating salad I can't be drunk.

[text]: You came in last night, ate an entire avocado in silence, and then told me I should never accept rides from strangers. Not sure I even want to know what happened to you last night!

[text]: Just so you know.. If you ever cheat on me, i will cut your dick and fingers off and post them as my cover photo on Facebook. Love you.

[text]: My vagina is officially offended.

[text]: With a butt like mine I'll never have to pay for Netflix again.

[text]: No more chicken and waffles served by drag queens at 2 AM. :(

[text]: For what it's worth, I didn't think that hitting you with a crowbar as hard as I did would break your arm like that. You should drink more milk.

[text]: After you passed out we took your car to the campus and stole a 150lb plaque that's now in your trunk. Happy birthday!

[text]: Let's never forget the time I met you while you were running down the street naked and in handcuffs.

[text]: If you don't fuck me hard, rough, and senseless the minute we're alone in your room, I'm returning you to the boyfriend store

[text]: You fell asleep standing up against the shower wall

[text]: In other news: I massively over-caffeinated this morning. Everything is vibrating and I can SEE THROUGH TIME

[text]: What is more embarrassing, shitting yourself in Mexico or having sex in a forest preserve with a 19 yr old? This is crucial research.

[text]: The only way he could ever pleasure me is if he lit himself on fire and let me watch

[text]: I just saw a guy in a hazmat suit riding a tractor.

[text]: We need to stop going on dates to the strip club.

i heard that kai crawford and his wifey margot are both alien lizards inside human suits....but that's just what i'm hearing

I will need some documentation that will verify that information. Actually, no, if they are good at their infiltration there won't be any trace of it. With faces like theirs, it's perfectly plausible that they are not human. Too symmetrical. I shall proceed with the investigation myself. If you don't hear back from me in 2.31 hours, assume the worst.

“So, can we agree on no Nicola at the Christmas party?” Margot spoke up as she worked on fixing them both a drink, busily pouring a generous portion of scotch in each glass. She couldn’t help but bring the subject up -- in both her professional and personal life, she had to get her way no matter what, and frankly she couldn’t handle having to see Kai’s ex wife in their home over the holidays. Sure, he had children with this woman, but the discomfort the other woman brought her was unmatched. Her jealousy often reared its ugly head and that wasn’t the prettiest sight.

A crystal glass in each hand, the brunette sauntered over to the couch, sliding into the spot next to him with ease, holding out the glass for him. “Sophie and Ronan aren’t too happy that I said I wasn’t comfortable with it, and I know -- they’re your kids, but I just can’t deal with it, I’ve been meticulously planning this party since July and...” She cut herself off then, not wanting to make this a bigger deal than it actually was. “You know how I get, darling. Can you talk to them? Please?”

“Am I really that much of a bitch for saying I don’t want my husband’s fucking ex wife at our Christmas dinner? Am I really asking for too much?” Margot inquired manically, lit cigarette perched between two fingers. She’d had enough of hearing about lonely, single Nicola and those stupid, meddling children of hers that were trying to hijack the magnificent party she’d been organising for months. “I cannot stress how much of a nightmare she is, and she has this incessant need to try to outdo me with everything.” She took a deep breath out, it felt good to get that weight off her shoulders, it’d been bugging her for weeks and been the cause of disagreements with her man. “What do you think?”

OPEN STARTER. ↪ at any bar of your choice ↪ @enycstarters

it wasn’t every day that lauren got out of the office in time for a night out these days. while she loved a good chat and a couple of beers with friends, it was usually a casual and spontaneous decision. the act of going in a bar with the prospect of a fine cocktail, a couple of shots or even too many beers (tipsy lauren starts to forget about manners, after all) was not an every day decision. tonight was different. “you know, if you’re gonna stand there, you might as well buy me another.” she lifted the bottle of beer to indicate what she was drinking at the moment. “or if you prefer to wait for the tequila shots,” with her foot, she pushed the stool so the person would sit, “they’re on their way.” and just like that, she flashed the other a smile.

Margot could never end a day without going to her favorite Manhattan bar. By now, she was a regular fixture of the high-brow establishment, knowing most of the bar staff by name and when she was there, some were even often scrambling to serve her -- her platinum American Express card was always given an excellent work out there and while many unfavorable things could be said about the Australian brunette, but a bad tipper was certainly not one of them.

“I’m sorry?” She turned, missing most of what the stranger had said, assuming they were talking to her. Once she took notice of the beer bottle she held up, she raised a brow. “Oh, you can put your next drink on my tab, of course, but beer? Really? I shouldn’t judge, but I wouldn’t have picked you for a beer drinker.” An almost condescending laugh escaped her lips, there was no nastiness behind the sentiment, she simply had a habit for coming across as a bitch. Not that it’d be an incorrect assumption.
