harley_quinn2.0

I wonder who would win a smizing battle him or Tyra ???
1/8

J. Cole is a cutie pie.

Sorry, but the queens in the khakis didn’t make me want to buy Cole’s boots. In fact, it had the opposite effect.

Cole’s male models should have looked more masculine and he should have included some female models, too.

AllmylifeIhadtofight

OFF TOPIC: So Scrappy has to stay away from Erica for a year due to him trying to attack and or throwing objects at her at the reunion. The judge ruled that he must sign up for Family Violence courses. Erica said that although they meet to pickup/drop off E$ she’s very uncomfortable doing so and is fearful that he will find out where she lives. Scrappy bet stop all that shinizniee and start paying that supportiznee
Buttercup

These sprites in this office are going crazy. “She had ONE job. What are we going to do? The cafe downstairs is too busy, blah, blah, blah.” I can’t complain too much about not receiving free lunch though.

Why is that woman abusing those cute pink shoes like that? I’m sure they were not bothering anybody. They look like Derek J’s hooves.
Blaque Mahogany

I just want to know if the child’s name is E-money, or E-monnie. Becuase I just can’t rewind on my DVR again…
AllmylifeIhadtofight

http://theempirefiend.tumblr.com/ Bird

Damn shole do. That’s that Southern twang got them pronouncing they own kinfolk name like dat.
Blaque Mahogany

Are you talking about that time she left him foe dead?
AllmylifeIhadtofight

BYE BISH.. I said the same damn thing when BAM called herself wanting to rant on IG about how he’s always taken care of his child and that Erica is bitter and keeping him away.. 1st of all you need to fall all the way back. 2nd that girl was working at a call center and he was living with her azz. 3rd its on tape. His punk azz tried to fight her at the reunion taping.. explain that…:head leant to the side:
WHITTYwithWORDS

Yup, left him fo the devil to attack him…smh

AllmylifeIhadtofight

OFF TOPIC #2. Why were people dragging Crystal Bates Ocho#5 newest BM cause she posted a picture on her first day back at work as a bartender at a strip club? Told her she was dumb to be working and she got a baby by him.
WHITTYwithWORDS

GIRL…they so busy putting their coin..singular…together to keep him the Deacon shiny shirts and upkeeping her ONE FREETRESS EQUAL fresh..I can not…
AllmylifeIhadtofight

she was probably right there acting stupid with him….

She told the court that Richardson assaulted her, “aggressively attempted to attack me and had to be restrained on several occasions. During a scheduled work related filming, the respondent became enraged during a conversation while attempting to attack me and further throwing an object at me.”

Dixon said that she’s scared of what Scrappy might do. “Although we meet to exchange custody of our daughter, I am extremely uncomfortable doing so after his erratic behavior.”

In addition to the alleged violence, Dixon is seeking sole custody of their 10-year-old daughter Emani and is asking the courts to require Scrappy to get tested for drugs and alcohol, and go to rehab.

What’s Scrappy’s take on this situation? He said that Emani has lived with him for the past 2 year. He took it a step further saying that he was scared of Erica. He said she dissed him in front of their daughter, won’t speak to him and refused to co-parent with him
SummerBaby

I think it’s pronounced Imani but they’re accents make it sound different ?
harley_quinn2.0

I didn’t get that either…I don’t think they’re are hard up for money she probably enjoys what she does…nothing wrong with that
PettyEyezPrime

It is in dvd and YT. My 6yo daughter owns a copy. My mom brought it for her 2 years ago.
AllmylifeIhadtofight

That’s what I took it as. I can appreciate a chick working to take care of hers. They were saying with him having the money he got why he ain’t get her no store or something…
Just Keya

smh. SO she should never work? smh
PettyEyezPrime

Yeah because Scrappy dappy doo pronounces Erica’s name wrong as well.

I was a SAHM for about 2 years when I was finishing up school. The last 4 months were brutal, because I was done with school. I tease him all the time about not working, but I can’t handle it. It’s only so much cooking, cleaning, and organizing a person can do. Plus, I spent too much money at Hobby Lobby.

2.) Did you have to dress in a skimpy outfit?
3.) Did you write down the orders or just good memory?
4.) Do you have to tip the bartender?
5.) How much did you make on your worst night?
6.) Best night?

CaliYoruba

LOL No, I think I want to waitress to pick up some extra cash. I have an interview on Thursday
AllmylifeIhadtofight

? ok well to be clear it wasn’t a strip club. 1. 12 yrs 2. Shorts or khakis were dress code with work t shirt 3. I’ve always had a great memory. That’s also something the customers appreciated. Also make sure you anticipate their needs so they don’t have to ask for more water napkins etc. 4. I was a bartender/waitress. But if you top bartender they get your drinks out. 5. Mon-wed $60-80 depending on what the rest. Was having thur-sun $100-250. This was a military town so we drew a lot of soldiers.
CaliYoruba

okay cool thanks. #3 is good info b/c I hate to have to flag down someone for more napkins or a refill… The bar is also near a base so that may help and they’re only open Thurs-Sat or Sun so I’m thinking that should be good tips….Thanks again
