I love brava, sis.

[xtuna]

I love brava, sis.

So glad you like it, King.

[Jimmyboy]

Nice theme, sis, good job.

One question...Selena?

[Lydekane]

Loved all your performances girls! Hollered a bit at some of them.

[jorge.]

Nice theme, sis, good job.

One question...Selena?

legends only, sis.
There’s only so much ground to cover.
I’m all in love with Celia as my choice.

[xtuna]

Nice theme, sis, good job.

One question...Selena?

I couldn't think of anyone else who was (1) famous, (2) Mexican, (3) glamorous, and (4) dead. (I do know she was a Texan, by the way. I just mean of Mexican heritage.)

Selena was as much of a Mexican as a taco from Taco Bell

But I get it... I guess.

Sis, y'all don't love her down there? She's a saint up here.

But no worries. I reserved Karen Carpenter for next time in case I got into trouble with anyone over these selections. Putting your name down to claim her right now.

Girls, who's on deck for a funeral after Auntie Re? Asking for a friend.

[Sam]

Yes!! Lovely thread.

Great debut edition, xtunE.

Thanks, sis. You see I let you borrow my Prince for this one. Take care of him.

[London.]

Mess @ me not initially connecting that all of these were dead legends. Hence "heavenly tribute."

[D'Avi]

Fucking gorgeous thread!!!

Not London serving "this is pretty good for your first time."

[London.]

Instigator [mention]jorge.[/mention] strikes again!

LOL, no shade, sis. None at all. Certainly better than my debut (back on aLD)...the infamous Honey Boo Boo edition.

[jorge.]

You make it easy to instigate, sis.

& the Honey Boo Boo edition. Truly, something best forgotten by time. And since I went and did the new thread halfway through it just so we could get yours closed off and forgotten, I declare it so.

You just like to single me out, sis. And that's fine. Just own it.

So [mention]xtuna[/mention] sis...the chronicles of HOEdon continue.

Got invited to a hurricane party yesterday afternoon. I suppose all the gays in the city were restless and needed to get out. 'Twas a house party stock full Miss-Girls...a few cuties peppered throughout tho.

Me being the regulation hottie that I am, got plenty of attention...almost at the risk of actually getting the reputation of a hoe. But forreal...i don't play that. I just like the attention. What can I say?

There's this pretty popular couple here in my city that almost everyone knows of. One of them I find EXTREMELY attractive, but am a good christian girl and don't believe him wrecking homes. HOWEVER, he was flirting with me HARD. I've been to parties at their house and seen them at other parties. Last night, I got my CONFIRMATION that they indeed are open/swingers. B/c the one I've always been attracted to was on me like white on rice with his boo there.

Not to mention later on when we ended up at a bar, his boo was FULL-ON making out with this random guy...mind you they're engaged. He forced me to take his number and I was like "BUT YOU'RE ENGAGED" and he shushed me and said "don't worry yourself about that." What is a girl supposed to do?



Not only that, but this couple also invited a CUTE friend of theirs, who showed up a bit later, to the party . He is actually single and recently moved to the city and definitely asked for the digits and wants to hang out. I'm thinking sir...you're cute, but do you know your engaged friend has been eye-fuQ'n me all night?! Let me be very clear ([mention]R0K[/mention]), The engaged hottie has always been a crush of mine, but I just don't know if I have the indecency to go there. Even though they're clearly as open [mention]D'Avi[/mention]'s bussy on a rainy day.



Lastly, when everyone all ended up at the bar, I ran into this cutie I recently matched with on Tinder some days ago. Obviously, he urged for my number after buying me a shot and said he wants to do a taco Tuesday TOMORROW!

How is a bitch supposed to even keep up?!



I go from having no one, to a complete roster all within 5 hours. Hoedon is BACK IN BUSINESS, baby!

A fat bitch is hoping for actual tacos....but I may be prepared for alternatives.
