Nicki Swift: 'Donald Trump Accidentally Confirmed He Doesn't Talk To Melania

“While Dr. Phil McGraw mostly let Donald Trump vent about his hush-money trial on “Dr. Phil Primetime,” another of the topics discussed was how Donald’s guilty verdict has impacted Melania Trump. But, from the sounds of it, all that the former president can…

She literally hasn’t done anything this year!!!! At all!!!! How the fuck you gonna hate her for doing nothing!!!!!
Jesus fucking Christ that trial did irreparable damage to some of you people. Here’s my advice to you:
Coral was born and raised in the unforgiving slums of Miami,florida. Growing up she was always given attention from men and women everywhere she went. Coral knew she was pretty and could do something with her looks and charms. She aspired to be more than just a product of her environment; she yearned to be a video vixen, a star that would shimmer across screens nationwide. Despite the weight of her circumstances, Coral carried a light within her that could not be dimmed. She danced, not just to the rhythm of the music that pulsed through the city's veins but to the beat of her own unwavering spirit. The streets were both her stage and her battleground, as she moved with a grace that belied the grittiness of her world.
Coral worked hard to get where she wanted to be doing club hosting and party hosting. By night, she transformed, her silhouette casting long shadows in the neon glow of the club scene, her movements telling stories of hope and defiance. Coral's reputation grew, her name whispered like a promise among those who recognized the hunger in her eyes. The path was strewn with obstacles—doubters, the temptation of quick success, the challenge of standing out when there were other girls trying to do what she was also trying to do. Yet, with each setback, Coral's desire only burned brighter. She knew that to emerge from the shadows, she had to outshine the other girls . And so, she danced on becoming one of the most paid and famous video vixens out her city.
— O2: CORAL’s BASICS, PERSONALITIES + OTHERS
POSITIVE TRAITS:
ALLURING: coral has always been alluring to people’s eyes. not only because of her body , but because of her pretty face and loving personality.
DEBONAIR: this describes coral down to the T. she’s very cherry, nonchalant and well mannered unless somebody pushes her buttons!
NEGATIVE TRAITS:
ABRASIVE: she can be sometimes cold when it comes to others feelings that’s because she doesn’t know how to comfort or say the right things to make someone feel better. she will literally self sabotage and act harsh.
DECADENT: coral doesn’t care what she has going on she always going to do what she wants on her time. so this describes her very well. she’s very self indulgent.

I was challenged by @mostlyinthemorning to make a list of my top seven reads. It was a complicated task, so I started with 20 that really stuck with me and narrowed it down to seven.
Not in any order, but I exclusively read gay romance so all these books have that in common.
The District Line- CF White
Mike and Jay come from different worlds but are both striving for more. They both have big dreams and the struggle to make their relationship work is big, all-encompassing and takes 4 books to get a HEA. An investment in time, but well worth it. I loved my time living in London and understanding the class issues really made this poignant.
Until You- Briar Prescott
This is a seemingly simple love story with some pretty damaged MC's but the twist made me gasp out loud. It stays with me.
The Art of Husbandry: Jay Hogan
I'm a very big fan of Jay Hogan, I demolished many of their books this year. This is a sweeping sprawling story, and the beauty in the words made me swoon. Honestly. So good. I might have to do a reread thinking about it now.
Building Forever- Kelly Jensen
I don't know how some books manage to take a seemingly simple story and just elevate it, but this is another that does. Actually, I lie. I do know. When you have to stop and reread a line, because it knocks you for a six- then you spend a moment breathing and contemplating the beauty of the line? That's the difference. Exquisite writing.
Love Me Whole- Nicky James
Oryn shares his life and headspace with five distinctively different alters. Reed, a protective, very straight jock. Cohen, a flamboyantly gay nineteen-year-old who is a social butterfly. Cove, a self-destructive terror, whose past haunts him. Theo, an asexual man of little emotion, whose focus is on maintaining order. And Rain, a five-year-old child whose only concern is Batman.
Vaughn can't stay away.
Boyfriend Goals- Riley Hart
This is just a super cute story. Read it.
Playing for Keeps- Avery Cockburn
This book had me on the edge of my seat. The secrets that John Burns are hiding are going to set him on fire but the romance is swoonworthy. A great cast of characters fill this out and I recommend the whole series but this first one? Whoosh. I had to throw the book down a few times I was so anxious.
Thank you for the tag and I'll tag my reading buddies
@legalgal421 @goodiecornbread @steviestoospooky @characterassassination-at-9am if you feel like playing
Remember Isabel and Nicki Hoffman/Cohen? Well, it looks like they might be 90s historicals. Two reliable leak accounts have posted about them.
You can see the list of items better here. On the first image, they are marked HC for historical characters.
All of this screams 90s, and the presence of the Pizza Hut set suggests that AG has already been working with the brand to create the set- meaning that if this leak is real, a lot of preparation has gone into these girls that won’t be scrapped.
I think what we’re going to see is this: twin girls with identical face molds, different hair, and possibly different eyes. One might have freckles or curls as opposed to straight hair. Nicki will probably be more of a tomboy and a skater, while Isabel will be a tennis player and a little more girly. AG will tap into their own history and give both girls exclusive mini AG dolls. One might have a TM, one might have a historical. The girls will be Jewish (Hoffman is German/Jewish and they were originally Cohens) and probably have another sibling as well.
The labeling of “Journal” next to Nicki Doll suggests that their story might be told in journal format. Maybe the girls share a journal, or they each have one that contains a slightly different version of the same story.
Sharing, technology, and balancing your time will be big themes, designed to cater to the iPad kids of today (except with a big ol desktop computer instead).
I think Isabel might be nicknamed Izzy but hate it, while Nicki is a Nicole and prefers Nicki.
I think we’ll see them in late summer/early fall of 2023.
