Truthfully, I'm tempted to rename this series The Trials of Trey - The Intersection of Trouble, Terrible Taste and Testosterone but it would be hard to fit in the blog title space. Here's our hapless hero back again with a dating story to share. Without further ado (just a wee bit of editing by yours truly)...
This one really wasn't my fault. Maybe a little bit but not really. It started at this sushi spot. Chele was making conversation with two women when 3N and I walked in. They were leaving but we made small talk for a little while. Both ladies were nice looking, articulate, employed. Mistress d'Bougie pulled me on the side and indicated that I should ask girl A (we'll call her Anne) out. However, girl B (we'll call her Bettina) seemed to be more of a "total package" woman to me. I asked Bettina for her phone number and the ladies left.
Bettina and I talked a few times during the week, sent a few tests back and forth, it was all good. She was 32, worked for a tech company, had her own condo, moved down to Texas from Chicago a few years ago, likes True Blood and Jason Statham movies. Nice, right? I asked her out for dinner, she agreed. When I picked her up Saturday evening, she looked amazing. Not good, a-maz-ing. We get to the spot, order cocktails, the conversation is going and she's giving me the look that says the night could be epic. At this point it's all sexy.
Sometime in the middle of dinner right around her third drink she just started rapping. Like using her fork as a mike and dropping rhymes. Not someone else's rhymes, some nonsense she had made up. When I asked her what she was doing, she said she felt so comfortable with me that she just wanted to be her true self. Her true self wants to quit her corporate gig and try her luck in the rap game. She already has a few songs and beats ready to go. One of them she wanted to share. It was called... wait for it...
Straight outta Plano.
I don't know what many of you know of Plano. It's a northern suburb of Dallas. There are two blocks in East Plano that give one pause but the rest of Plano is Pleasantville. Soccer moms, block parties and corporate headquarters of companies like Dr. Pepper, JC Penney, Capital One Finance and Ericcson. It's not hood. It's not gangsta.
Maybe that's why she took to rhyming Plano with Drano. What is it Chele inserts right about now?
**crickets**
I didn't even know what to do next. What do you do? (Fellas, what would you do?) All I could do was nod and say "Wow, that's a truly unique aspiration." and hope she didn't fire off more lyrics. I called for the check and got this for my troubles:
"Trey, why we leavin'
I ain't tryna be deceivin'
Kinda hoped you and I
could spend the night interweavin'
Ya feel me?"
And. She. Was. Loud. No, I wasn't feeling her. Interweavin'? I tried to get Chele to tell me what bougie protocol is for leaving your date but she was too busy laughing at me. I drove old girl home (dropped curbside) and headed for the lika sto. (Yes, I said Lika Sto) What were Chele's words of wisdom when she caught her breath? "When I tell you to pick A and you pick B, what do you want me to do?"
Booo. Could a brother get some sympathy? How was I to know she had a L'il Kim fantasy tucked away? Come on now. Onto the next.
I'm Trey. It's been real. It's been fun. But not real fun. *drops mic*
People, I told Trey to pick Miss Anne for a reason. Anne wasn't as "flashy" as Bettina. She was pretty but not in your face it. Bettina was a little fancy for me. Anne's conversation game was varied and insightful. Bettina could talk but she talked about music, fashion and entertainment. Plus, Anne was giving me the "solid sistah" vibe, do you know what I'm talking about? Bettina was giving me the "I'm all that and recognize" vibe. Here's was I do know: some folks gotta learn the hard way. Any words of wisdom, support, commiseration for Trey? The floor is yours...

OMG this had me cracking up. Interweavin', if some dude said that I would have had to excuse myself and head the bathroom for a moment of must do laughing. The look on his face was priceless I am sure. Jajajajajajaja!!
Peace, Love and Chocolate,
Tiffany
After I saw the tweets over the weekend, I was hoping we'd get to hear the whole story.
So basically Trey, Chele hand-picked a woman for you & told you which one to go for, yet you went for the one she told you to leave alone, and now you want sympathy? I'm sorry but LMAO #hecksnaw
This scenario highlights something I see both men & women do all the time - they go for the flash & the outwardly appearance & then wonder when it fizzles quickly & the person they chose has no substance. While you're going for wannabe rappers or Internet "models", ladies like Anne are holding down the Bougie Knitting Circle.
So two questions - Chele are you gonna try to help Trey again, and Trey are you gonna actually take Chele's advice next time?
Absolutely not! No. Sympathy. Trey, you hard headed! Have you learned nothing from reading this blog? Have you learned nothing from your past dating experiences? When the Queen of Dating/Relationship advice gives you a nugget you take it, you don't turn around and feed it to the pigeons.
Like recognizes like: Michelle told you.
This one's all on you, Trey.
No sympathy for Trey. Le boo. Until he stops being hypnotized by a big butt and a smile I really don't see how Chele can help him. Try going against your typical type next time, Trey.
Hahaha, this is funny.
I have zero sympathy.... Well not zero because Trey is cool twittapeeps., but very little sympathy. Especially cuz I see through the diplomatic attempt to say girl B was better eye candy than girl A. Trey, bruh, you got guidance, guidance you repeatedly ask for & ignore. I'm hearing the refrain of hard heads & soft hind parts.
Look fellas, if you respect a woman enough to ask her opinion about dating, respect us enough to listen to our advice. We won't intentionally steer you wrong. When we don't hook you up w/ our finest, flashiest or jazziest friend/associate/coworker, there is a reason & it's not because of hating.
All I have to say is Bill Duke's scene in Menace II Society. That's all I got.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2v-8ctq5x4
I have been to Plano-seriously??
I think I am related to Trey. Similar situations have happened to more than one male relative, after they asked me to introduce them to a "nice girl." I no longer do this; it is clear we don't have the same interpretation of "nice." You know what you like-you'll decide when (and if) you no longer like it.
Straight outta Plano? Really though? That's your punishment for being uber hard headed. There's no ice cold glass of sympathy flavored sweet tea for you today, so just dust yourself off, try again and LISTEN next time...
Exactly!!!
Trey,
You are in your own way regarding dating. You need to decide if you want flash or substance, and it is really that simple. If you want flash, keep doing what you are doing as you have that covered. If you want substance, you need to listen to Chele. The KC (knitting crew) is all about substance but you have to make a conscious choice to go for substance in order to snag a member of the KC.
*points and laughs* Sorry man, no sympathy. One day you'll learn...
"Booo" my black behind, Trey. Not only do you not get any sympathy for me, I'ma join the laugh track on this.
And the next time you decide to ask for some advice from Mme. d'Bougie, I suggest following it, least you're subjected to further Sympathy Lack from the Bougie Ladies Knitting Circle. Or just admit that you're down for the Flash and call it...but know the Flash may be a fork and a rap lyric away from Ratchet.
::drops mic::
No wisdom but I will offer this. Trey, you have to decide what you want. You have yet to pick "solid sistah". All that glitters and whatnot. Nothing wrong with going for the hot total package just know that it's a high-risk play. Sorta like taking that last hit in blackjack. Chances are you will end up bust. At least the rest of us got some entertainment out of it...
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this story! LMAO! Straight out of Plano? Mama no!
I'm not even gonna weigh in on this one. Because it clearly takes a lot to share with THIS group, and I want you to continue. But OMG, thank you for that laugh!!!
Besides, you are a Trubie...you can really do no wrong. LOL
*files this under "Guys that say they want a total package but, when presented with options, go for looks above anything else"*
I just chuckled my little heart out at her dropping rhymes using and using the utensils. Sorry Trey, but you'll learn to listen next time.
The "Straight Outta Plano" part was high comedy. That's like tryin to make Santa Monica sound all hard...CTFU
"but know the Flash may be a fork and a rap lyric away from Ratchet."
This!
Straight outta Playa del Rey - yo!
I think Jay summed it up nicely here.
https://twitter.com/#!/GuessImJay/status/99703201934225409
Isn't this a scene from "Daddy's Little Girls" with Gabrielle Union and the wanna be 45-year-old rapper? And why are they always loud with it? *snickering*
Chele, I'd like further definition of the "Solid Sistah."
Also, is having a talent that you'd like to make your dream job (so you never really have to "work" again) really a deal breaker that can't get her to date #2 (i.e. I'm an attorney by day & an event planner & jewelry stylist by night)?? So Bettina's skillset is a tad unusual for her resume, but people's dreams dry up everyday because of all these dream-killers walking around poo-pooing them (lol!) You already know she has a corporate side to go along with her "gangsta" side. She can do the switch back and forth, just help her to lay off the liquor at inopportune moments. ;-)
Has Trey ever verbalised a realistic version of what he is looking for? A meantime experience, partner?
For now, Trey seems quite happy collecting dating horrors stories and going along for a possible laugh.
When he is ready he will decide what his 'real' criteria is and will be happy with it.
Trizzie -
Ya gotta brain co-ord-in-ate problem. Yo little brain want fancy p***y, yo big brain want Condi. You want Condi smart, Beyonce fine, and Amber Rose bed game in da same chick. Find Condi, put her in a miniskirt and try her out - she may be a freak, yo. Whatchu got to lose? Yo way ain't workin' son
Mmm-hmm.
This bears repeating...emphasis is mine.
**When we don't hook you up w/our finest,flashies or jazziest friend/associate/coworker, there IS a reason and it's NOT because of hating**
The first time a strictly (but hard headed) friend saw me in a bathing suit his jaw dropped to the floor. For an awkward (for him) week he came pressing HARD. Give me a break dude. Now you understand that I'm telling the truth when I say I'm not hating on those half naked chicks you keep eyeballing. No don't try to holla at me now. You are clearly not ready for me. Instead of pressing me about happy hours if you came with me to the gym you would have seen this long ago. Understand that my body isn't my first asset - its a bonus for the man that can appreciate the FULL package. If the only reason why you are paying attention is because of what I look like that I predict you are just as shallow in other areas & I'd rather be knitting...
When you know better you do better. Trey my man you have GOT to do better.
O_O
Food for thought.
There is a HUGE difference between pursuing event planning/jewelry and rapping.
I'm just sayin', everyone has a dream right?
It was funny on the Twitter TL, but this.right.here, "
"Trey, why we leavin'
I ain't tryna be deceivin'
Kinda hoped you and I
could spend the night interweavin'
Ya feel me?", literally made me LAUGH OUT LOUD!!! Let me scan what thus says the others so far before I add my two cents.Still laughing!!! *wipes tears from eyes*
Sounds like home girl watched one to many Tyler Perry movies. I think I would've asked for the check, explained to her that this wasn't what I had in mind for a dinner date, wished her well on her future emcee endeavors and took her home. "Straight Outta Plano" Ha.
I don't even have to play the video to know what scene this is! LMAO!!!
Trey, you know you f**ked up right? *hollers while ROTF*
Straight out of Malibu fool!!!...Please even the trailer park up there is prime real estate!
Color me bias because I think Chele is majority of the time right. Everytime I've listened to her I've never been let down. Trey, did ya mama us to tell you "DON'T TOUCH THE STOVE IT'S HOT" and you touched it anyway and looked confused when she patched you up and then spanked you? You seem to never know how you got here, even though all the signs told you where you were goin'. Po' Trey, Po' Po' Trey. SMH.
DROP KNOWLEDGE RILEY, DROP KNOWLEDGE!!! AMEN, AMEN!!
I think she was doing what Chele calls 'Code Switching" but she switched too fast in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"Or just admit that you're down for the Flash and call it...but know the Flash may be a fork and a rap lyric away from Ratchet."...Yes Yes Yes!!!
"My name is Trey and I'm a Flash lover!"...When you finish your 12 step program, ask Chele for directions to the Knitting Circle because we know you have no idea where to find it.
Condi may have a pole in her bedroom just waiting to be swung on!
and with that the doors of the church are open!
I'm saying, lol!!
Ha! This reminds of me the time I told my two year old not to touch the BBQ pit, ("It's hot!"). She touched it anyway, and began to cry. Someone looked at me and asked me why did I let her touch it. I just shrugged and said, "She gotta learn"...I'm all about the School of Hard Knocks and am a firm believer that hard heads make soft behinds. Trey is an honor student on the Dean's list, will graduate Magna Cum Laude and give the Valedictorian speech!
I feel you TC, I feel you. Fancy/Flashy has its place. But you already knowing you can't take Fancy home to Mama Charles. Now don't overcorrect and go back to twinset chick. Next time Chele tells you "go THAT way not THIS way" just go.
Or a portable pole for traveling!
Bougieland, I forgot to add that I never let a dude pick me up for the first date. I always meet dates at the established place for this reason - if things get crazy, I can bounce on my own when I am good and ready.
If a grown man has to be told this, maybe he just ain't ready
She's a 32-year old aspiring rapper?
No.
I had to stop back through to congratulate Trey on taking Bettina straight home and not participating in any 'interweavin'. If that's what really happened. You are showing some progress. A lotta bruhs would have tried to keep that as a sidepiece...IJS
Good point. That overcorrectin' can bite!
Jesse I'm just saying!!! Thirty-two??? Aspirations are great, and I believe in not letting folks kill your dreams. However, shouldn't said dreams correspond with your age, level of maturity, accomplishments thus far, something?!!
At 32 your rap game should be about a stroll down memory lane, "I used to go hard!", not still running up behind Dre, Suge and Ditty talking about "Can I just leave this demo with you"!
Dang Trey it was worse than I thought! This is actually funnier the second time around.
All I have to say is listen to Mistress Bougie the next time. I'm with Jay try not to swing that pendulum to far right to overcorrect the next time.
Girl, yes indeed. This is too funny! No wonder he went to the lika sto.
Well there it is. Let the church say amen!
I side-eye A for having a friend like B in the first place. Trey's better off without either one. No interweavin'. Good grief. And Riley basically nailed it.
I believe that when he's ready, really, really ready to "get right" he will. Me? I'm not trying to play with it. Over July 4 weekend, Chele introduced me to a lovely young lady. I wasted no time. I invited her over the next day, she's pretty much been here ever since. Life is short.
Go ahead, I'm not mad at you on that one
YESSSSS! Ms. Carolyn, yes! Comes a time in every woman's life when she has to cut her ratchet friends loose. B is probably blocking all of A's prospects on the real.
Get it, John! You deserve some happy!
O__O
"At 32 your rap game should be about a stroll down memory lane, "I used to go hard!", not still running up behind Dre, Suge and Ditty talking about "Can I just leave this demo with you"! - can a sister aspire? Just saying:-)
LOL ummm how was this one not really your fault? You picked female B along with all her "asspirations" all on your own (and against the advice of a friend). Thanks for the great laugh at work today. With my clients, I can almost always use a good laugh.
However - I don't think you have to give up your preferred look to get what you want. You haven't dated every single woman quite yet and some big butts and smiles have their stuff together (says one single + childless + own house + own car + pay my own bills + big booty and usually a big smile female in the sunshine state :-D )
Trey as my Bougie Bruh I have much love for ya! Let's go deeper, shall we?
She was 32 (maybe, maybe not), worked for a tech company (as what, receptionist perhaps?), had her own condo (is it really hers?), moved down to
Texas from Chicago a few years ago (was she running from something or somebody?),...Nice, right? Only on the surface...Chele has the ability to see a little deeper, trust her instincts!
The word you are looking for is Heckie Naw.
Good policy.
*real tears* Hey, you have to kiss a few frogs. that is what they say right?
If wish he would try to take rappin' chick home to Mama.
That scene in Coming to America where the woman starts beat boxing at the table?!
"The Trials of Trey - The Intersection of Trouble, Terrible Taste and Testosterone"... Love it!!!
I guess I need to get on Twitter.
That's what I'm talking about!!! Way to dust yourself off and ride off into the sunset! Happy for ya John!
Okay?! *clicks Like button twice*
Bwahahahaha!!!
Amen!
TC is my boy but what can I say - he likes 'em with a wild streak. Always has. Maybe now that he's getting publicly skull drug for his preferences, he'll try something else.
You haven't let old girl out yet?! LMAO. You locked her down with the swiftness!
See now. I peep game, sir.
Mama Charles might let him slide. Dr. Charles ain't havin' it. You know the crown prince gotta bring home a queen.
This right here! You go John and best of luck to you.
Mmmm... Well you were looking for the total package, you weren't aware that it came with a demo tape?
This woman and the salad chick are on opposite ends, I wonder what their analysis of you would be?
I have a son and I have learned that men are a bit slower than women. especially when it comes to figuring folk out. Its obvious what Trey chose based on. If he had met both on his own and picked B, that's cool. But he had them already vetted and still went ahead with B. My question to Trey, if she had not start rapping how would you have wanted the night to end: swirling the coco? If so maybe A wasn't the one for you.
Points for using "skulldrug"
Okay? She didn't let any grass grow under her feet either.
Let's just say Trey is on his second strike. After the third, I quit.
Um - um - um. That's all I've got.
Why do I have the feeling that Trey is passing on women other bruhs would walk across fire to get at? Nice problem to have.
oh Trey,
You go for it based on looks alone huh? Chele he needs a lesson on reading non-verbal cues. It also seems like you can't just say "go for A", you got to break it down for him first. Would he listen then you think? Would you have picked A, Trey, if she told you her reasons in detail?
I disagree - by that standard the Bougie Brothers shouldn't be hanging with Trey either. However we in Bougieland know that he's not a bad guy just has his priorities out of whack.
As for A - having a friend like B makes the weeding process much easier. If prospects like Trey are so quickly dazzled by the shiny then let em roll with B - makes it easy for A to keep looking for true quality.
I was just thinking that. Lemme get at the dimes you dropping, Trey.
Aw John good for you! Just be careful because it sounds like you're moving fast. Not saying it's not right, just saying to keep scepticism in your back pocket for a little longer. Congrats!!!!
"When I asked her what she was doing, she said she felt so comfortable
with me that she just wanted to be her true self. Her true self wants to
quit her corporate gig and try her luck in the rap game."
*Cleans up projectile breakfast with towel soaked in tears from laughing so hard*
Trey. You are killing me! I don't even know what to say except listen to Chele next time and thank you because now I don't need to do any crunches today!
Grace it is hilarious sometimes! Can turn a show that you would otherwise not watch into the most entertaining one ever! And let's not forget the entertainment of TIH drunk tweeting/rapping while up in da club! The BougieLand Tweeples are awesome!
That boy. At least he's consistent.
All this random dating - no cocoa?
Nary a sip.
Is she in BougieLand? I could have sworn I saw a named dropped and......never mind, I'll just wait and see. (But I was right about 3N after the first post). *whistling dixie*
Good Monday morning!
Dead at interweavin'...
Good luck Trey.
Is it you that keeps picking the loud ones?
Girl, Mama always knows. I have two sons and I have always believed in warning them but if they don't want to heed to my warnings then they get what they deserve. Hard heads always have and always will make a soft behind.
How do you figure this one's not your fault? You had a girl handpicked for you, and you decided to go for the one you were warned off of instead. My grandma used to say "when goat arse happy he does chew wood" -- meaning some people aren't happy unless they're taking the hard road, and if you smooth the path, they go looking for rocks and potholes elsewhere. You got exactly what you went looking for. Next time, don't be the goat. (Hint: they're stubborn too.)
Can we have a modicum of flash drizzled over top of everything else... minus the CRAZY, DERANGED? *Martin voice* this is the hardest part of the game.
LOL. Yall are killing me with these comments. Her aspirations could be a bit more lofty, but, she also could aspire to be something worse than a fledgling emcee. I think her behavior would have turned me off more than her admission of wanting to write rhyming words for a living. Keep looking my dude, you have to kiss a few frogs on the journey to finding your make sense model.
Hilarious! I saw the funny tweets over the weekend and knew this would end up as a Bougie tale. Now I just need to figure out how to weave interweavin and lika sto into a future conversation... :)
*sets up chair, takes out coconut water and roasted peanuts* If the comments are this golden before lunch, the afternoon posts are bound to be on fire. >:3
Nope, Lady4Real, Miz Bettina just swtiched. Full stop.:-D
*takes a sip of water after choking from laughter*
*remembers the twitter TL where David told Trey he COULD NOT come over and Jay told him that all the fellas were busy*
For the love of God Trey, please take heed!!! I feel awful laughing at your expense like this!
1. I thought your choosing privileges had been revoked.
2. How is this not your fault? You got pulled aside and TOLD who to pick.
3. I know some people need to learn for themselves but, uhm, can we make #1 happen?
Do you know how long it took me to get past "she started rapping" part?! Bwahaha! Cold game in these datin' streets! This whole post gave me 40 year old rapper dude on the date with Gabrielle Union's character in "Daddy's Little Girls." Lol!
Gold lamé doesn't work like that, good sir, and I'll leave it at that.
Sorry.:-D
Can someone pass me my yarn and my knitting tools... i'm trying to make this nice sweater for Christmas. **side eyes Trey**
Damn!
Yeah, no woman worth her salt wants a man so easily dazzled by the surface stuff. But, you do get to a point where you have to let your ratchet friends go. Because right or wrong, women are more harshly judged by the company they keep.
"However - I don't think you have to give up your preferred look to get what you want. You haven't dated every single woman quite yet and some big butts and smiles have their stuff together (says one single + childless + own house + own car + pay my own bills + big booty and usually a big smile female in the sunshine state :-D )"
We see you workin' Ms. LTB...LOL Nothing like a little Bougieland marketing...
*shudders* can't stand when a black man is described as beig the crown prince of his family. Just makes me wary that I'll be dealing with an entitled dude who's been overindulged & spoiled. Let me have a regular guy with regular loving, supportive parents.
But this is just my hang-up.
I am so sorry *tries to hold straight face,fails horribly* Bwahahaha...but yes, that was a bit tragic..NEXT TIME, LISTEN TO CHELE! Lol..
Well damn...
Now that's how you do it John! I know too many men sitting at home lamenting the one he let get away.
Hit me on the Twitter DM! And yes, I'm nosy LOL
*slides Trey a Dos Equis*
Welp.... "Dust yaself off and try again..."
*does his best Timbaland Impression*
Careful ED the Malibu Crips may roll up on you...LOL
Cosign!
One thing you have to say for Trey - he keeps stepping up to the plate. No matter how many times he strikes himself out.
This was even better than Twitter version, Trey (I missed the parting rhyme, lol). Did you ever get your aura cleansed, because you're carrying some serious residue that interfering with your success (not to mention you didn't listen to Chele, who has a great track record for putting together couples).
Now, take a time out (Mercury is still in retrograde) and prepare to be more centered in 2012.
Its ridiculous how women want to judge each other. Why does B rap aspriations make her ratchet? It makes her unsuitable/unequally yoked for how Trey (& the Bougie crew) rolls but certainly there is a you tube rapper out there (my prom date comes to mind) that would find it easy to support her goals. Misguided? maybe but ratchet is taking it too far.
B can be different and still be a good friend. As long as A already knows that B is not the one for counsel on life choices why should she stay in the house alone instead of getting out and eating some sushi? She will NEVER meet a man sitting in a house and the next man may very well look past B and step to A correctly.
This surface BS is why Trey keeps getting in these messes.
Trey, you appear to have way too many options for me to be overly concerned about you:-) When you truly want what you say you want, then you will do what you need to do to get it. Recognizing, of course, that that's going to require a change of some kind in you. It's been my experience that changing is usually the holdup between words and actions.
From a fellow PDXer, good luck to you...you truly deserve someone special.
^^This. Some of ya'll act like she trying to single handedly populate the earth with little Marleys.
Trey doesn't seem worried about it. If he likes it, I love it.
Sorry Trey no sympathy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11WgpXHOIJY
Although....my cousin lived on one of the worst streets in SaMo...wasn't pretty. But we all know the entire city isn't like that. Just pockets of thuggery.
How did I miss this comment! You betta work it girl!!!
If Chele ever wanted to stop writing, vetting people and matchmaking could get her that island vacation home.
I'm just saying that Black N Bougie is an excellent name for a dating site...
*pays tithe & offering*
LOL (laughter just cut a budding headache short. Thanks.) but it's only a tiny part marketing. It's mostly "hey all big butts and smiles" not bad despite the lyrics of the song and the thoughts of many. Why should men boycott me based on the antics of OTHER smiling big booty chicks? IJS the good big booty chicks get lumped in with the rest of the bunch when not all of us bad and I'm sure most of us like the idea of a happily ever after for us too. I guess I could stoop to the level that folks so freely attribute to me and act like the "others" but I was always told that when one lays down with dogs, one should expect to get up with fleas.
Give Trey (bad choice though he made) and the non-trifling happy big booty chicks a break. I'm sure I can't possibly be the only one in all of Bougieland :-)
*pops top* Thank you, I will need it to read through all this commentary.
Sir...
Thank you Miz BB
Fellas?! Bougie Brotherhood Solidarity Pact? Did you miss that meeting?
Et tu, Wesley?
Dearest Trey,
This is what we (me and my 4 friends) like to call "steady losing." It is not to be aspired to, it is to be run away from. So let's us, that's you and me, commence to running.
We'll get 'em next time, tiger. Next time.
Love,
A.Smith
*makes mental note to holla*
You snatched girlie up out there with the swiftness. Next time I saw her, she was coming out of your kitchen talmbout "Hey Trey, wanna drink?" Damn!
EXACTLY!!
Bruh I was so done after the rap that interweavin' never crossed my mind.
*Wondering what I need to do to get in the BougieLand" twitter list...*
Trey - Son, is it me, or are you just "skerred" to date the chick that's worthy of your stature in life -there is something to be said for "equally yoked". I'm also thinking you keep picking the "eye candy", because you want what will look good to you as you stir the cocoa...which is not bad, but, uhh...you get what you pay for..and it looks like you paid for a private concert on date night...
I will leave with what my Momma once said to me..."What looks good to you, aint always good for you.."
Bougie chicks dont rap. Especially not all out in public restaurants.
Tweet me again, I'll add you. My bad.
With friends like you two...
*fist bump*
My man. Real talk. This is priceless.
Wait - what? I'm on my last at bat?
You would be correct ma'am, you are not the only one ;-)
*Laces up Nikes* Let's go, A-Sizzle.
She's not ratchet for her rap aspirations. She's ratchet for bustin her rhymes out LOUDLY in a restaurant on a date.
No doubt!
*representing for the big booty chicks in the DMV*
Single, childless, owns 2 homes + 2 foreign luxury cars + 780 credit score + a big butt (a STRONG size 14) + a kool aid smile...
There are others out there, Trey, trust !
I read all 100+ comments and I hear you BougieLand, I hear you.
*heads back to lika sto on way home from work*
Isn't it someone else's turn to be Bougie Bachelor?
Trey! Stubborn!
We can lead you to water and you turn and go to the lika sto.
"Trey is an honor student on the Dean's list, will graduate Magna Cum Laude and give the Valedictorian speech !"
I just fell off my chair, and am now on the office floor...
Trey...*smh*...did you NOT ready "Heard It All Before"? Man, I feel for you. LOL! What's that saying?....ah, yes..."all that glitters is not gold." Good luck to you man.
Me likes the new avi!
*Scans comments for Riley's* What Riley Said.
John chose girl A! (Sorry Trey, I still love you like a play cousin though!)
Representin for L.A. and Houston! Although out here, my butt is pretty average. LMAO!!!
LMAO!!! I was thinking, "Not the lika sto son"!
It's less her wanting to be a rapper & more the whole package & behavior.
And, frankly, I think too many men are given the benefit of the doubt in regards to their bougie status. Hoodrats w/ degrees transcend gender (and family background, but I digress)
On the other hand, you can be aware of the doublestandards that negatively impact women without endorsing them. And you can recognize that sometimes you have to limit certain people out of certain environments in order to meet your goals. I love my most hood friends to death, but there are just someplaces that I'm not taking them.
Let me quote Grandpa Martin: You have got to decide if you're just trying to get laid or get loved.
Trey -
From what I observe, you seem to have it going on. When you seek out someone, date for the quality you think you are. In other words, if you are a classy, professional, awesome catch of a man, your woman you are seeking should be exactly the same. That way, no disappointment, and you can find out that the classy woman may still be able to deliver the sizzle you seem to require. But without the beatbox...o_O
Simple, huh? Next time, listen to the bird on your shoulder and go with class, not crass.
I'm bougie and I rap. Rap comes in many forms, at it's foundation it is poetry set to a beat. Don't knock the sister because she aspires to rap, where she decided to do it and how she decided to do it was S.N.o.B= So not bougie
Thank you. Good looks run in the bougie fam bloodline. I'm not conceited, just confident. LOL
Trey, if you don't take any of the advice in these comments...at least take what rozb just said. She speaks truth!
It is...
MichelleG, I felt some kinda way about the way the sista was getting rolled on too. It's like on paper she looked good, apparently she also looked good in person and she still has her career and all it's trappings. It seems HER main mistake was getting comfortable with Trey too quickly. Seems more naive then ratchet.
*I have gorgeous friend (not even by my standards, but like commercially gorgeous) who owns a hair salon and does ad libs/voiceovers on local artists mix cds, for a fee. If someone asked you, you wouldn't? #I can't knock the (legal) hustle
cuz he probably is...
Amen!
I hearts me some Riley. Slain @ Trizzie! LOL!
By the way, Bobby made Whitney feel comfortable too. IJS. LMAO!!!
Trizzie, you need someone that will recognize that you just did a word play on a line from a Shakespearean play. Make sense now?
LOL!
I'm hollering!!!
If I didn't have an innanets crush on Riley before now...
Hey Chele can you add me, too? I have to tweet protected so if I tweeted you you couldn't see it. LOL
Bwahahahahahahaha! *dips back out*
Trey baby, this where we grandmas say "chile ain't got sense enuf to come in out the rain" or "quit thinking with your little head and use the sense God gave you" (grandparents can say that). Then we follow up with some love: Son, you know better. I know you know better cuz you're in the Bougie circle and look how much you've accomplished. You deserve the best. That's all GamMa wants for you is the best". Then a little bit of encouragement: now you let Michele fix you up with a nice young lady and when y'all get to know each other a little bit bring her round so I can meet her (write a post). I love you baby. Then we feed you: take a piece of this pound cake I just made and gimme some sugah.
You're added!
ROTFLMAO!!! Why did the "tone" of my reading change as I read this! I could hear some little old soft loving voice in my head. Gamma you are a mess! LOL
See what happens when you move your LA a booty to the south. Gets downgraded like USA credit...LOL
* thinking - mental note noted. action required. *
Hmmmm....so does that mean that if the southern booty moves to the west it gets an upgrade? If so how far west must it go before what would be a mediocre southern booty becomes great? Inquiring minds would like to know how this theory works LOL
The Trials of Trey - The Intersection of Trouble, Terrible Taste and TestosteronePretty please make this the title of Trey's Bougie Chronicles. It is too spot onTrey: No sympathy, since Chele tole you who to pick. But, thanks for the laugh. Ms. Straight out of Plano is doing too much.
ROTF LMAO!!!
rather than think that was some fancy new language
I'm a serial lurker and never post but this was a great read after a bad day.LOL hilarious! Next time listen to Chele!
Dearest Trey,
WHY WON'T YOU LISTEN TO MICHELE?????!!!!!
Signed,
The Peanut Gallery.
It is 3:00am and I thought I would stroll past BNB.....I have been laughing so hard that I'm CRYING....I did NOT see that one coming.....I got NO sympathy for you because you went LEFT when Chele sent you RIGHT...
Well, let me try to break this down. As in real estate, location is everything. There is the LA booty which is generally on the slim side and then you have the Oakland booty which is more of the padow variety. To quote the imminent philosopher SirMixALot, "An LA face and an Oakland booty, baby got back."
Next tme, listen to Chele.
