Performing miss america at bushwig 2018, then chilling -- Such AS -- I pissed on a red christmas -- What makes you possible? In its premiere -- Flat on your back, you are obsessed -- My mother's face -- @nature, I avoid you -- Your first apartment in New York, you tried -- I think about my mother and just begin to cry -- My life with newly painted nails is well -- Darkness that is both early and late -- What do I make of my face / except -- The bobadome, lunar new year party with vincent -- In college you tried to get an Adderall prescription -- Scott Conant, restaurateur and master of Italian culinary arts -- @nature, you're gross -- @nature, how well do you know america? -- Yesterday, you took a shit so big at the office -- The month you continued to ponder -- @nature, teach me things -- @nature, when you ripped -- I wish I could wake up and make a sincere apology -- Danny's back dips like a showroom divan -- Reading the Yelp reviews of your family's restaurant-a mistake -- @nature, you are loved -- The shoes -- My Brother is a Dreamboat -- Where can you harmlessly place your devotion? for what faint idea of a dream would you lift a flag? -- Ahem. She informs you -- All your potatoes on the ground-you were not meant for this -- @nature who's willing -- August Moments -- Perched below someone, you are escalating -- Hair greased with the scent of bacon and five spice -- It's pride month -- The habits of your life simply become your life -- Plank, plank, plank; forest -- I'm so glad I got to see you -- @nature... -- Years Flow By Like Water -- Tender Buffet -- "People Like You More Than You Know" -- The smiley barista remembers my name -- Audition. |
