Meet Phyllis. While she comes from means, she’s not above being one with nature, just as long as there isn’t too much sweating or food on sticks or thread counts below 600. She puts the AC in accommodations and believes a Burberry plaid confuses mosquitoes enough so they’ll just fly away. Fast forward to the day Fred left and her comfortable life was all of the sudden challenged. Phyllis was ever determined to be a model of resilience, self preservation, and of course, style for her daughter. Armed with a cape fresh off the Parisian runway and a boot that highlighted her fabulous calves, she channeled her mild terror into entrepreneurship and her sweet tooth into a cookie empire. Wilderness never looked so chic.

Meet Beverly. She’s the first person to welcome the new neighbors with a homemade hot dish and she knows the kindness that is never returning a borrowed tupperware empty. You can count on her classic macaroni salad at every church picnic and peanut butter brownies at every bake sale. She and Jim have been happily married for 25 years and are looking forward to being empty nesters when they’ll finally get to put some miles on the RV. They have grand plans of collecting Christmas ornaments from every National Park. Beverly is happy in the way being content feels. She never was one to have big dreams, which worked out because everything she ever dreamt of has come true.

Meet Trish and Nance. They have been best friends through boyfriends, fiances, husbands, pregnancies, miscarriages, babies, new jobs, and new homes. They have always been each other’s soul mates and after finding themselves newly single in their late 60s they packed up their old lives and bought a condo together in Fort Lauderdale. Like a butterfly opening their wings, they step out onto the lanai and flirt with the widowers in the pool (heated to 80 year round). After a lifetime of managing everyone else’s lives, these gals are finally ditching the mental load of putting themselves first. With a fridge full of diet coke, a closet full of caftans, and chemical peels every 4 months, they have never felt so alive.

Meet Laurie. She’s a dental hygienist who lives for happy hours and rescuing dogs. There’s nothing better than a spicy marg and spilling the tea with her girls. In her spare time she digs deep in her heart and fosters the most unlovable senior dogs. One day Laurie will have enough saved to make a downpayment on that 4-square with a backyard so she can save all the dogs. After all, there are no bad dogs, only bad owners.

Meet Susan. This little minx has been turning heads since she was crowned the May Queen back in the 50s. Don’t let the golden locks and sweet smile fool you. Her confident and ambitious creative spirit is politely asking you to move over so she can demo the kitchen or fit that sectional couch in the back of the car (we’ll make it fit!). She loves a theme and her holiday cards will leave you in hysterics. She’ll BYO printer if she’s in town visiting for longer than a week and will probably reupholster your dining room set while you step out for groceries. She’s everything that is fun and funny in your world and is always up for a board game over a cup of tea.

Meet Avery. Her toxic trait is waiting until the divorce is finalized before she starts to live her best life. Dean was a “minimalist. Dean ”felt “calm” around things like beige and anything otherwise lacking in signs of life. This chica needs to live out loud since put the “fun” in her dysfunctional marriage for all of those years. Avery won’t be muted and considered “safe for work” any longer. With her finger on the pulse of all the latest in color trends (not to mention this Benjamin Moore Color of the Year, Cinnamon Slate), this might just make the perfect place to keep all of Dean’s alimony checks.

Meet Lexy, the retired cheerleader who drinks iced coffee all year and loves a soft square french tip mani. She doesn’t own flats and presents as 5’9”, not even her husband knows her real height. She’s in full hair and make up by 7:15 to walk the kids to the bus stop, just in time to spill the tea. Her Roman Empire is small town gossip and inserting herself into just about everyone’s business. She’ll be the first to lean into a conversation with a “but I will say…” and close things out with a customary “well bless her heart.” If gossip is the Devil’s radio, Lexy is everyone’s favorite DJ.

Meet Mary, she’s a second wife. It’s not her fault that she found her true love in a man almost twice her age with children who are practically her peers. Why date boys when you can date a man? And George, is a man. Her love language is acts of service, and let’s just say, the man serves. Mary knows that people stare when they are out together and she doesn’t tire of correcting people when they assume George is her father. What’s wrong with being a trophy when it means you’ve won it all?

Meet Sandra, LCSW. You’ve been seeing her every other week for the last 8 years. The soft textiles and artifacts displayed in her waiting room are evidence of a life she escapes to in her worldly travels every summer. You wonder about her life outside of these walls. Her chunky necklace and sensible footwear tell you she’s not susceptible to trends. Her herbal tea that she sips as she takes notes, tells you she’s always listening and knows you better than you know yourself. You’d leave your husband before you’d leave Sandra and those out of pocket sessions fees are proof.

Meet Katie, the receptionist for Ralph’s, a family owned auto body shop in town. In the same week she started working at Ralph’s, her daughter started kindergarten and her ex decided the fling with that h***y was something worth leaving his family for. Ralph’s became her new family. She felt appreciated and protected, something that her ex never could manage. She sometimes lets her mind wander and wonder what life would be like if clocking out at the end of the night meant heading home with Ralph Jr. Together they’d drive home to their modest split level in a decent school district and tree lined streets. Someday, maybe someday.

04/08/2025

Meet Jackie, she was born an “it” girl. She’s never known a life of waiting outside the club in the cold, or having to lean over to get the bartender’s attention for a drink. It’s as if everyone and everything is just waiting for her. When Jackie arrives, the party starts. Someone better come get their man - because no one can resist Jackie’s magnetic pull. She’ll draw you in and spit you out before you can say Studio 64.
