the bottle in her hands is significantly lighter than it was an hour ago . the thumping base of the party below shakes the bed frame , charlotte lying back on her elbows as she takes her third or was it forth shot from the bottle of tito’s . her mind in a haze , french manicured fingers wrap tighter around the neck of the bottle as her lashes flutter downwards . despite the chaos below , a sense of calm washes over charlotte , slowly bringing herself to her tolerance level in the hopes of drowning out her loud thoughts . the door swinging open draws her attention , charlotte prepared to ask whoever it is to leave as politely as she can . & while cece is someone who manages to worm her way beneath charlotte’s skin , her company at the moment isn’t exactly unwelcome . sighing , she holds out the bottle as a temporary peace offering , “ now , i reckon you’ve got to join me since you’ve obviously been searching for me . ” she giggles , her usual icy demeanor melting in her inebriated state .
‘ we should run away together & never fucking come back . we can pick out some badass names & wear wigs in different countries so nobody knows who we are . we can literally be the twenty nineteen version of thelma and louise . y'know , besides the part of being murderers , i think it will be pretty cute to do . don’t you think so ? ’ saskia’s plan was literally a bit of a stretch , but she wouldn’t mind the idea of taking a long vacation to get away for a while all the rumors in the tabloids . she doesn’t understand how lola deals with her craziness within their friendship but , saskia loved her to death . she was her best friend , her soulmate & doesn’t know what she would do without her .
charlotte can’t help the smile stretching widely across her features as she watches saskia with rapt attention . “ i can picture it so vividly , we could be blonde twins . or perhaps , go for a baby pink bob . i’ve always wanted to drastically change my hair color without consequence . ” her squeals of excitement feed off of saskia’s energy , “ we could travel the world properly , imagine walking on the street without someone wanting to know who you’re dating . ” her arm wraps around saskia’s shoulders, “ sas’ you always have the best ideas , i reckon i’d be lost without you . when are we becoming the new power girl duo ? please tell me we can leave tonight because i would love nothing more than to get away . i’m sure papa legba would pitch a fit , though . ”
with her vlog camera in hand , charlotte pans it so her viewers can get a look at the revolve’s party set up . silk fabric drapes her frame as she walks around , animatedly talking to the lobabes that would be watching this video in the future . in the midst of her excitement & honeyed words , charlotte’s back collides with someone else . immediately , an apologetic smile brightens her feature , regret on the tip of her tongue . the moment her gaze lands on sasha , the smile on her face becomes forced at best , overdone & unable to reach her eyes . the apology on her lips dying as she murmurs , “ sasha , darling . well isn’t this nice , running into you here ? you look , ” mocha hues give the brunette a once over , “ last season as always . i suppose your so called success forgot to include a stylist . then again , there’s no accounting for taste . ” her cherry red lips lift into a smirk , downing the rest of her glass in a single sip .
charlotte’s gaze lifts from her dimly lit iphone to the door as she waits for mariposa . their brunch dates have become routine , charlotte looking forward to the way conversation seemed to flow between the two . arriving early purposefully , she’s already a bellini & a half in , steadily working her way to a healthy buzz -- one where she can maintain her ladylike behavior , yet feel a little less . upon the petite brunette’s arrival , charlotte waves her over with a bright smile , second nature after years of practice with vasoline rubbed over her teeth at her mother’s insistence . “ mariposa , darlin’ how are you this morn ? ” she greets , standing from her seat to embrace her friend , planting a kiss on her cheek . “ i may or may not have gotten a head start on drinks , but i reckon it won’t take long for you to join me ! now , i’ve got a video idea to run past you if you’d be willing to help lil’ ole’ me out . ”

her pinterest can be found right here !
i made a semi functional plots page here !
charlotte ‘ lola ’ may beaumont , born in the heart of the south : tuscaloosa, alabama was treated like the doll she resembled, rosy cheeks & blonde curls neatly tied with pastel pink bows – the epitome of perfection, spoiled by the riches of the beaumont name .
her father , a business tycoon raised to be the ceo of the family’s company . her mother , a former beauty queen obsessed with the socially constructed concept of skin deep beauty .
her first taste of fame had been short lived, bringing life to the coined phase : 15 minutes of fame . on one of the daily mother daughter shopping dates , charlotte was discovered by a producer looking for the next big child star. the news elated her mother & at age 14 , the idea of being a star excited charlotte . her father took over the location in los angeles so the beaumonts could pursue charlotte’s new found career path .
like her mother, charlotte fell in lust with the idea of being loved , pampered , & adored . however , her mother couldn’t help but seduce the producer with her artificial beauty & charm. the affair was short lived , but the revelation took everything away from charlotte . & at age 16 , the media no longer had nice words to say – charlotte jaded so young , never knowing the real reason why it all ended so abruptly .
the beaumonts decided not to follow through with a divorce for the sake of charlotte, but the family dynamic was never the same . her father treated her mother coldly , & in turn charlotte because of she was a walking reminder , her mother’s mini me .
& at age 18 , the truth came out as charlotte learned why she became a pariah in the media rather than her destiny as america’s sweetheart . the worst part was she realized she’s slowly becoming her mother – an inability to be loyal , easily falling for any bit of attention thrown her way .
whenever someone brings up her child star past , the fame no longer feels like the pure attention she craves , it’s tainted . so she went seeking attention in other places, introducing herself to new ways – partying & going out , easily fitting into the role of good girl gone wild – managing to build a small following on instagram in the process -- what caught papa legba’s attention in the first place .
her antics were a cry for attention from an absent father who seems to blame charlotte for her mother’s affair . & charlotte is left missing the days where she was her daddy’s little girl with dolls aligning her shelf . but she’s not so innocent anymore since she’s hiding 50 mL bottles of vodka beneath their skirts – it’s like a metaphor for her personality .
i feel like charlotte’s a dream , this whimsical personality that demands attention kinda like cher in clueless , but you can tell that there’s something off – that her whole innocence isn’t truly what it seems . somewhere along the way of going out , charlotte wound up with an addiction to liquor , another secret of hers she keeps under wraps & denies having . it’s not her fault the burn of alcohol makes her feel something other than the constant need for attention. plus the stress & secrets of the glitterati only add to her need for an escape of sorts . but she has them to thank for the success of her youtube channel : lolamont , & her high following on instagram.
in terms of her career , i was inspired by tana mongeau’s story times ( i’m so sorry if you dislike her ! ) – they’re just super outrageous, clickbait - like , & attention seeking which fits charlotte so ??? her other career claim is alissa violet bc i feel like her insta following / yt vlogs are very reminiscent of charlotte .
