VIXEN DIARIES
SEASON 2, EPISODE 1
(SHE'S BACK)
The scene opens up in So Angelic studios. Cameras pan through the studio showing some models being lotioned down. Some are shown seated, waiting to enter the main hall for their tryouts. Cameras then pan through to the main hall. A long rectangular table is shown at the top of the room Angelica Ward, CEO is shown seated in the middle seat with two of her employees sitting on either side of her. A model is shown walking back and forth in a bathing suit
ANGELICA WARD: Well hello hello world. Mama is back! After a long awaited hiatus. Me and the girls are back. Letting you into our crazy lives. I didn't know for sure if I was even gonna bring this thing back because of the way things ended last season. I'm honestly surprised I was able to pull together a production team that was willing to work with some of these girls. It's funny how the people blaming production for the pause in filming are a big reason it took so long for us to get greenlit.
Video footage from last season begins to play, recalling a huge fight that broke out between Mia, and Carmen.
ANGELICA WARD: But we won't go too deep into that. That's already been dragged down in the blogs and nobody has time for that. What matters is. We're back. I've had quite an interesting year if I do say so myself. Many big big changes for me. For oneā¦
Angelica holds up her left hand, revealing a wedding ring.
ANGELICA WARD: Yes! I am married! I had a secret little wedding back home. I didn't want any negativity in my moment, therefore I didn't tell anyone. Of course my family and friends were over it. Kylie especially. We even went through a brief period of time where we didn't speak over it. But luckily I was able to get through to her that there was no ill intent. This was just something I needed to do for me.
She looks down at her ring with a smile
ANGELICA WARD: Other than that, I've been working hard as usual. Angel Bar in Vegas is doing better than ever. I'm actually in the process of opening up another location in California. And as usual each year, I host a huge showcase, where I show off my new Angels. Last. I didn't think I was gonna be able to top last year, but my team and I pulled it off. Tonight is the night! I've invited all the girls. Hopefully they'll all be on their best behavior tonight. If not, any and everyone can be escorted right out of the door. But hopefully it won't get to that point. Right now I'm getting all my last minute things done. Doing all my final walk through. This has to be flawless.
The scene fades back to the studio. Cameras pan to the front entrance. A black 2018 Mercedes-Maybach S 560 4MATIC is shown pulling into the front. As the car comes to a stop we see, rapper Drake Andrews pulling up. In the passenger's seat is his newest artist Trina Dupree. The two are blazing Trina's first radio hit, āTalk to me nice
TRINA DUPREE: Ayyyyyye! Everything nice! Yasssssssss! I cannot believe my song is really on the radio!
DRAKE ANDREWS: I told you it was a hit ma! You keep putting shitout like this and you gon be bringin in all them trophies.
He turns the radio down and cuts off the engine.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Aiight yo, you ready for this?
TRINA DUPREE: I was born ready!
DRAKE ANDREWS: Aiight man. You say that now Angelica the homie. But if she ain't feeling you, I can't do nothing but not think that's gonna be a problem.
TRINA DUPREE: You think she's gonna let me perform at her event tonight?
DRAKE ANDREWS: I don't know man. I'm just tryna get her to feel you out forreal. See about putting you up on her team. That would definitely be a good look if we tryna push this album. Let's at least get that popping off first. I told you I'mma get you booked. I ain't never went back on my word have I?
TRINA DUPREE: You haven't. I'll give you that. I'm just tryna get shit poppin man. I'm hungry. And it seems like right now the era of female rappers is coming back. And I'm tryna ride that wave.
TRINA DUPREE: what's up y'all! I am ya girl Trina Dupree! I been blowing up a lil something on Instagram for the past few months for a lil song I dropped. You might have heard it.
She bops as she raps some of the lyrics to her song.
TRINA DUPREE: And just like my song saysā¦ Talk to me nice! Or don't talk to me at all. I'm a cool down to earth chick forreal. I'm only worried about my music that's why I'm here. Yea I got A SONG on the radio. But I'm tryna have a hundred! I been grinding for a long time trying to push my music out there and it's finally starting to work out. Drake actually contacted me because he heard my song. All I knew was that he worked on a few tracks for Mercedes. And that bitch got grammies!okurrr and I'm tryna get just like her. And it's looking like working with Drake might take me there. And I don't have to worry about all that sleezo steevie j shit with Drake. And that's how I like it! We about the music and getting this schmoney. Okurrr! And today he's introducing me to Angelica. She got her fingers all in the rap game. You see her girls in all the music videos so you know she has those connections with these artist. So hopefully this lil meeting goes well and maybe we can all get paper together.
She chuckles as the scene fades back to the studio. Drake and Trina are shown walking up to Angelica. She stands up with a smile as she greets her best friend with a hug and kiss on the cheek.
ANGELICA WARD: Andrewwwwwwwwwwws!
DRAKE ANDREWS: What's good? What's good pickles?
ANGELICA WARD: You know I hate that!
She playfully punches him. He chuckles
DRAKE ANDREWS: What's goin on? You looking real busy in here.
ANGELICA WARD: Me estoy volviendo loco! Oh my goodness. It's a madhouse. I still have to get to the Bar to make sure everything is right. You know how I am. But it's good. Everything's under control. How are you? How are the kids? And Brandon?
DRAKE ANDREWS: Everybody's all good. B is actually flying out later. But I'm still in the doghouse man.
ANGELICA WARD: Well you know you only bring these things on yourself. He just wants you to be better.
DRAKE ANDREWS: I'm doing that! I really am. But maaaan. Niggas can't let go of the past. And this show he doing really bringing a lotta shit out that's making me wanna go to places we both know I can't go back to.
ANGELICA WARD: I love Drake. I really do. We've been best friends for over twenty years. So I know more than anybody that he doesn't have the best track record when it comes to relationships. But considering everything that they went through, I'm just glad that they are still holding on. I know my bestie is happy. He just has his own way of showing it, mostly by not showing it.
She chuckles as the scene returns to the three
ANGELICA WARD: Boy y'all just need to get it together.
She chuckles as she looks toward Trina.
ANGELICA WARD: I'm sorry honey we're both being rude. I'm Angelica.
TRINA DUPREE: Oh I definitely know who you are! Who doesn't! Nice to meet you.
DRAKE ANDREWS: This is my girl Trina. Signed her a few months ago.
ANGELICA WARD: Dupree?
TRINA DUPREE: The one and only!
ANGELICA WARD: Si. si. I heard your song on the radio! It's doing pretty well on iTunes too!
TRINA DUPREE: Ayye! What you know about it!?
ANGELICA WARD: My ears are always in the streets mama. I'm loving to see females back in the rap game. We were lacking in presence for a long time.
TRINA DUPREE: Most definitely! I couldn't agree more.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Yo. I was thinking you could bring Trina onto your team forreal. I mean. Get her in some videos. Hook her up with some artists. You know.
ANGELICA WARD: Do you have more music that I can listen to. And you know if I was to even consider her being an angel she'd still have to audition just like everyone else.
ANGELICA WARD: Drake knows me by now. I don't just employ anyone. I have a reputation with my girls. But I like her vibe and I know Drake just wouldn't bring anybody to me. He knows how seriously I take my brand. So I'll give her a try and see what she has to offer.
The scene fades back to the three
TRINA DUPREE: I'm definitely willing to do whatever it takes. I'm really serious about my craft. Just like you. And if you're willing to give me that chance, just say when and where and I'm ready.
Angelica pauses, looking Trina up and down, with and approving nod
ANGELICA WARD: I like you. We'll definitely talk more. But right now I need to get back to this so I can get out of here and get ready for tonight. I still have to meet with a few of the male models for the show.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Aiight bet. I know you're a busy woman. Imma let you get back to the it
ANGELICA WARD: I better see you in the building boy!
DRAKE ANDREWS: Oh most definitely. You know I'mma come out show love for a lil bit. Bt I can't stay out too long I got all the Rugrats this week. Daddy duty is in full affect man.
ANGELICA WARD: And you are more than welcome to join Trina. I can reserve a seat for you with my girls.
TRINA DUPREE: Oh definitely! I'd love to come!
ANGELICA WARD: Then I guess I'll see you both later!
The three wrap up their chat and Angelica excuses herself as the scene fades and reopens in Las Vegas, North Winters and Asia Desi are shown pulling up in an black 2018 Tesla. The two reach the hotel, Asia parks the car in the main entrance and she hops out handing the keys to valet. North hops out of the passenger side and walks around the front towards Asia.
NORTH WINTERS: Whatās going on world? Itās ya girl North Winters aka Miss Cold Winters. And trust me when I say this life is good. I just got to Vegas for Angelica Wardās fashion show and Iām ready to turn up and toss back a couple drinks. My home girl Asia decided to fly in with me and attend the party as my plus one, and it's about to be lit.
The scene cuts back to the two entering the hotel. North checks into the room and the two make their way over to the elevator, both girls walk in and take the elevator up to the 6th floor.
NORTH WINTERS: These hallways nice as fuck, so I know the rooms probably lit.
ASIA DESI: We fancy girl.
The two reach their room door, North pulls the key out of her pocket and the two walk in, only being there for a few seconds, both of them admire the room.
ASIA DESI: This is really nice North, I appreciate you inviting me on this trip.
NORTH WINTERS: Of course boo, I prefer you to be here anyway since I donāt know any of these women. Some Iāve seen in passing or at club events but never really shared conversations with them, so I would feel more comfortable if you were there anyway.
ASIA DESI: Arenāt you cool with the lady who's throwing the event?
NORTH WINTERS: Iāve only heard mixed reactions about Angelica, and they were from people who are close to her so I really donāt know.
NORTH WINTERS: Now donāt get me wrong, I appreciated the fact that Angelica invited me to her fashion show but letās be real here. She hasnāt been poppin for a long time, and donāt get me wrong I understand sheās on her grown women shit, but if the things Iāve heard about her are true then I donāt want any parts of her.
North shrugs.
NORTH WINTERS: Iām honestly here for the show and to hopefully network with a few people, Iām trying to be on my grown women shit too.
The scene cuts back to North and Asia, North is sitting on the couch scrolling through Twitter while Asia starts snacking on some gummies in her purse.
NORTH WINTERS: But Iām open to hanging out with her and forming my own opinion about her.
ASIA DESI: Letās just have a good time, get a couple numbers and fly back to LA and make some moves happen.
NORTH WINTERS: Oh I meant to tell you that Mia was going to be there also.
Asia rolls her eyes.
ASIA DESI: Mia use to be my girl back in the day when we both were dancing, but once she made it big, she up and forgot about me. We kind of linked back up during her short relationship with Mason only because Mason was working with me in the studio but once she found out I was kicking it with Carmen, we had an issue again.
Asia shrugs her shoulders, flipping her hair to the back.
ASIA DESI: I never understood why I couldnāt both of their friends but at the end of the day I didnāt care anymore, now I knew Mia and Angelica had issues so I doubt I would see Mia at this event but if I were to bump into her then I hope sheās ready to have a nice little talk.
The scene cuts back to Asia and North.
ASIA DESI: Thatās fine with me, if she stays in her lane then we wonāt have a problem.
NORTH WINTERS: Well you know Iām still really good friends with Mia and sheās never said anything negative about you around me. I think you guys should meet up and talk!
ASIA DESI: You already asking me to do much North.
NORTH WINTERS: Nah I just want to hang with my girls altogether instead of being separated all the time.
ASIA DESI: Well If sheās up for conversation then we can have it, like I said just make sure she come correct or donāt come at all.
North smiles as she takes a sip of the water she has in her hand, Asia shakes her head annoyed at the thought of sitting down with Mia and the scene fades and reopens with downtown LA being shown. Alocal studio called Bandz Beats, the scene shifts to inside the studio to a room where a beat and a voice is heard.
MIA COCAINE: Yo itās ya girl Mia Cocaine and you already know Iāve been on my bully shit, been bullying these beats and killing these records. I know yāall probably been wondering what Iāve been up to since the last time you saw me and let me just say this Iāve been busy.
Mia giggles.
MIA COCAINE: And no I havenāt been busy with a certain someone, the last time you saw me and Mason together was last year and I havenāt seen him since. And Iām okay with that, Iāve been in the studio getting ready to drop my first EP and I had my homeboy Yeshua stop by and lay down some more beats for the album.
The scene cuts back to the studio, Mia is shown rapping in one of the booths while on the outside Yeshua hypes her up. Mia finishes the verse and steps out the booth.
YESHUA BANNER: That shit fire G, like thatās a big record.
MIA COCAINE: I need one yo, I got people out here not believing in me and Iām ready to prove to not only these people but to myself I can make it in this music business.
YESHUA BANNER: You got the potential yo, but your attitude is whatās holding you back.
YESHUA BANNER: Now Iāve known Mia for awhile now and what I know about Mia is that she is easily offended and her temper is off the radar and as sexy as I thought that was, I need her to calm down just a bit so we can push these singles and make her the star she wants to be.
The scene cuts back to Yeshua and Mia.
MIA COCAINE: Yea I know, but Iāve been going to anger management classes and to be honest itās been helping me and ever since I got rid of the extra bullshit in my life, Iāve been stress free and calm.
YESHUA BANNER: That's good to hear because you know I believe in you. You're just the turn up queen.
MIA COCAINE: I appreciate that Yeshua, at least someone does.
YESHUA BANNER: What you got planned for the weekend though? Are you going to that event Angelica is throwing?
Mia rolls her eyes throwing a little shade by sipping on her drink.
MIA COCAINE: Now we all know I wasnāt a big fan of Mrs. Ward, I thought she was one of the fakest women Iāve ever come across but to be honest I was over all that drama we had last year. And I wanted to stay over it so I wasnāt planning on attending her little fashion show, but best of luck sweetie.
Mia blows a kiss to the camera as the scene cuts back to the two still talking.
MIA COCAINE: I wasnāt invited and even if I was I wouldnāt go anyway. She isnāt my friend and Iām not a fake bitch, and I wonāt fake support another one either.
YESHUA BANNER: Cold hearted Mia and thatās what Iām talking about, your attitude. Maybe you should just pop up with a gift, be the bigger person.
MIA COCAINE: Boy I should walk out on this session for you speaking that crazy talk, I have no interest in being her friend or any of the fake hoes she hang around with.
YESHUA BANNER: Ok Mia but donāt say I didnāt try, but enough of all that you ready to get back in the booth?
MIA COCAINE: Time to show these hoes Mia Cocaine is not playing around.
Mia gets up from the chair and heads back into the booth as the scene fades and reopens inside of Kylie Foxās Naked Bar In LA. Kylie is shown speaking to a couple contractors about the remodel of the bar.
KYLIE FOX: Things have been very hectic in my world recently, Iām remodeling Naked Bar LA again and on top of that Iām opening a new Naked Bar in Houston while working on my Kylie swear line so yes my life has all over the place.
Kylie smiles.
KYLIE FOX: But Iām getting money though. Anyway today I was interviewing male strippers for the upstairs of Naked Bar LA, so not only will females strip at the bar but I will now and I was so excited. But like I said earlier with my life being so crazy I was still able to multitask because while doing interviews I was also instructing the contractors on what I needed done to the bar.
The scene cuts back to Kylie still talking with one of the contractors.
KYLIE FOX: I need this done in like two weeks, I really donāt want the bar to be opened while you guys are renovating but since itās only the upstairs I guess it shouldnāt stop the guests from partying downstairs.
CONTRACTOR: We will make sure itās safe for your patrons, trust me.
KYLIE FOX: Oh honey once I see results then Iāll trust you, until then I need you to wow me.
The scene cuts to the entrance where a tall man walks in. Kylie notices him at the door and she excuses herself away from the contractor. She walks over to the guy and introduces herself.
KYLIE FOX: You must be Isā¢Rael?
ISā¢RAEL: Yes, how do you know?
KYLIE FOX: Oh I always remember a handsome face and I still have your photo and email up on my iPad, sorry for all the commotion but we can head into my office and do the interview there.
Kylie grabs Isā¢Raelās hand and guides him towards her office, the two walk inside and get comfortable.
KYLIE FOX: Anyway I appreciate you stopping by, in your email it said you just recently moved to LA but your back and forth between LA and Atlanta, correct?
Isā¢Rael nods.
KYLIE FOX: So That May cause an issue of you working here in LA if your still living in Atlanta.
ISā¢RAEL: I can make the arrangements necessary for this job, I really need it.
KYLIE FOX: Can you even dance? You look like you should be playing sports or something?
ISā¢RAEL: Everyone says that but donāt let the look fool you, I can get sexy if needed.
KYLIE FOX: Iām sure you can and our guests are savages, so I just want to make sure you can handle all the aggression that takes place at night here sometimes.
ISā¢RAEL: Iāve been present during your special male nights so I see how the women are but Iām cool with that, itās just been rough for me since childhood and Iām not here to give you a sob story, I just want to work and make enough money to get me where I need to be.
ISā¢RAEL: Iāve always been a hard worker, ever since I was a child. My parents were never really involved in my life so a lot of what I have, I got my on my own. But man I was tired of couch hoping and sleeping on park benches, I needed to make some real money and get my life together.
The scene cuts back to Isā¢Rael and Kylie.
KYLIE FOX: That's good that you did your research and honestly Iām infatuated with your look. Like I said the only thing that worries me right now is the whole Atlanta thing but if your promising me that you can be here on days that I need you then I have no issue with bringing you on.
ISā¢RAEL: You donāt know how much this means to me though.
KYLIE FOX: That's sweet, Iām also going to put in a call to my friend Angelica, sheās having a show in Vegas and I remember her telling me that she needed men to walk in her show, I think that would be good for you, itāll give you some exposure and you can make a few dollars too.
ISā¢RAEL: WOW are you serious? That would be fucking dope. Oh shit! Excuse me language!
KYLIE FOX: Oh baby you're,5s fine, your part of the family now and we all curse each other out here. If you have time today I want you to stick around a bit and Iāll show you around and all zthe important stuff, I need to handle this business with the contractor and then I can get back to you so I need for you to be patient.
KYLIE FOX: This was a good decision, he was handsome, nice body and smile so bringing him on only meant more money for me and the club, plus this guy had a story that I was interested in knowing.
The scene cuts back to Kylie and Isā¢Rael.
ISā¢RAEL: Yes Iāll stick around, I donāt mind doing stuff now or I am just wait.
KYLIE FOX: Eager to work, I like that. Okay sweetie Iāll chat with you in a second.
Kylie smiles as she gets up from the chair, she makes her way towards the door and leaves as the scene fades and reopens in Miami, FL. Carmen Alvarez is shown on South Beach with a photographer and a few other people holding a photo shoot. She takes a couple more pictures before her assistant Kandi Brooks walks over and hands her a robe to cover up.
CARMEN ALVAREZ: ĀæQuĆ© pasa mundo? Es tu chica, Carmen Ćlvarez, y estoy de vuelta en la escena todavĆa arrebatando cheques y pelucas, sĆ© que me extraƱaron.
Carmen smiles.
CARMEN ALVAREZ: Today Iām doing a photo shoot for a local Miami magazine and baby these photos are on fire. It was time for a little break so I wanted to chat with my assistant to see what a bitch had lined up this week.
The scene cuts back to Carmen and Kandi on the beach.
KANDI BROOKS: The photos are dope, that body is everything.
CARMEN ALVAREZ: Iāve been doing this body challenge and it got me looking all fit and right for these streets boo, but whatās going on in the life of Carmen?
KANDI BROOKS: Bookings and more bookings, got a couple scripts for you to look at too but other then that youāll be making money all week.
CARMEN ALVAREZ: Now thatās what I like to hear.
KANDI BROOKS: Oh I wanted to bring up Ms. Wards event, I think today is the last day you can rsvp for the event, so should I respond with a Yes or No.
CARMEN ALVAREZ: I canāt even tell you the last time I actually sat down and had a conversation with Angelica, itās not that I have any issues with her but at the end of the day sheās never really been my cup of tea. We had our issues in the past and itās hard for me to trust after I feel like someone has crossed me. But at the same time Iām here for women running their own business so I was thinking about going just so I can show face and support.
Carmen pauses giving off a smirk to the camera.
CARMEN ALVAREZ: Pero una serpiente siempre serƔ una serpiente y puedo perdonar, pero nunca olvidarƩ.
The scene cuts back to Carmen and her assistant Kandi.
CARMEN ALVAREZ: Iām so on the fence about that, part of me wants to go while the other half is saying not too.
KANDI BROOKS: I think it would be good for you, you have availability that day and the day after, youāve been working so hard so a trip to Vegas might be nice.
CARMEN ALVAREZ: Ugh you make me sick with all your niceness, let me think about it for another hour or so and then Iāll give you an answer.
KANDI BROOKS: I just think petty drama is worthless and shouldnāt be entertained. If she had a problem with you being there then I donāt think a invite would have made it to your inbox.
CARMEN ALVAREZ: Iāll think about it.
KANDI BROOKS: That's fair, well Iām off to pick up the wardrobe for tomorrowās event, so once you wrap up here then i guess Iāll meet you at the hotel.
CARMEN ALVAREZ: I actually have a date after this, but after my date Iāll be there.
KANDI BROOKS: Oooh a date, sounds fun.
CARMEN ALVAREZ: I havenāt been on a date in so long and this is actually a real genuine date so I would be crazy if I turned it down.
KANDI BROOKS: You deserve it, I know after that situation with your last guy, you deserve some sort of happiness.
CARMEN ALVAREZ: And she was right, and I felt like I was on that road back to my happiness. My music was poppin and my love life was great.
The scene cuts back to Carmen and Kandi.
CARMEN ALVAREZ: Thank you Kandi, weāll see what happens though, but I need to get back so Iāll see you later.
Carmen jumps up from one of the crates sitting on the beach with some of the photographer equipment inside, she walks back out to the main area where the photos are being taken and jumps back into getting photos taken off her. The scene fades and reopens, showing Arielle Mendoza scantily clad in maroon lingerie as she cat walks down a runway set up as the lighting is adjusted above her to give her a more glowing appearance while the cameramen filming the show makes sure to stay out of the way as they capture Arielle modeling for the photographers shooting the photoshoot. Santana Ortiz smiles and looks on as one of the Vixen Diariesā cameramen turns to shoot her positive reaction to watching Arielle.
SANTANA ORTIZ: What it do?! Iām Santana Ortiz and Iām out here tryin to live my best life! I decided to try the reality show life since I ended up breakin out into actin with this new upcoming scripted show dats droppin in September, just wrapped up my first season in the LFL so Iām getting back to having a busy business life. I know Arielle a bit from her dating one of my long-term friends, Jason Nguyen and Iām hoping I can get to know her a bit since sheās most likely going to be around our crew every now and then.
The camera now returns to Arielle on the runway in midst of the many flashing lights from the cameras around her before āCUT!ā is being heard yelled off camera and Arielle makes her way down the stairs off stage. She spots Santana off to the side and walks towards one of the photographers to tell him sheās going on a short break before approaching Santana with a bright smile. Arielle greets Santana with a warm embrace and pulls back with her hands on Santanaās shoulders as she admires her cute casual outfit.
ARIELLE MENDOZA: Happy that you were able to make it, honey. And you look absolutely fabolous.
ARIELLE MENDOZA: Good afternoon, loves. I am Arielle and I am the owner of the Shake Shack. I live in a world where some men donāt want you to be great or are far too intimidated when it comes to a woman that has her life together, her priorities in check and is a powerful woman in the form of knowing how to rack in clientele just like she racks in that good green. Many men donāt seem to know the difference between a stripper and a prostitute, seeing women in provocative wear and only associating it with sex. Yesā¦ sex sells and when my girls go on stage? They are selling a dream and the men pay well for the live show attraction of them hanging upside down on those poles or for the lap dances. Some men even think that as an owner of a club like this that Iām easy to get in bed but honey, thatās far from the truth.
The two women smile at each other before walking over to some chairs near the refreshments table to sit so they can chat.
SANTANA ORTIZ: Phe def chose wise when choosin you as one of the faces for her Savage line. You really out here killin it.
ARIELLE MENDOZA: Thank you, I appreciate the warm compliment. I never really thought I would get into the whole modeling profession but I then I thought, why not try different marketing strategies instead of always sitting behind the scenes? This not only helps out Phoenix but it also helps put the Shake Shack more and more out there. All business is good business.
SANTANA ORTIZ: I agree, Phe always got a good eye for everything dat she does. Think dats why Iām inspired to do more in life. She got four kids and motherhood dont stop her grind. I got four kids and she be out here gettinā it too by any means so here I am. What bout you, what made you sign onto Vixen Diaries? I remember when Jason pops up for get togethers and he says you are busy working so you couldnt make it.
ARIELLE MENDOZA: I guess I am trying to get more out there into the world as well. Jason and Quinta always tell me that I dont have much of a social life anymore and itās always business with meā¦ which is actually fine by me. Iāve always been alot more interested in making money and my mind is always on how to make better business moves with trying to reach my goals to set new, higher ones.
SANTANA ORTIZ: You not really a people person or somethin? Like obviously you kinda social person wit the kinda club you own and stuff but like I mean, do you just prefer not really havin friends?
ARIELLE MENDOZA: I mean I wouldnt say that. Gabi and Quinta are fantastic best friends and Gabi had been the one to convince me to sign onto Vixen Diaries when she has initially signed on first. Then she ended up finding out she was pregnant and had to back out of it but I figured, since I already committed in my mind to do this show then I should continue on and not back out. I wouldnāt necessarily say I am here to make friends because I know how it can get when too many women are around each other. Things can become catty and honey, I am not for the constant fighting. I dont get my nails done every week in order to break them from having to use them on someone.
ARIELLE MENDOZA: But make no mistakes about it, honey. Doesnāt mean I canāt make these hands move if need be.
SANTANA ORTIZ: I def feel you on dat. Get you a few real ones around you, other than dat you dont need dat many around you. Hell, the more people you let in, dats when the snakes begin appearing in the grass. Trust, I have dealt wit my share of snakes and it aint never a good thing to be involved wit. Sometimes less is just alot betta than more.
ARIELLE MENDOZA: Agreed. I just like the idea of everyone thatās around me are people that I can trust and count on. Even with my girls, I dont treat them like low rent girls who strip for a living. I treat them like money making women who earn every dime that they receive. I have a good rapport with them, as you should with anyone that you employee or do business with. But I already know there are people who deem me as meek or weak because I am not out here acting unladylike with always trying to fight but I can go there if I am brought there.
Santana nods her head with a smile, liking what she hears because she definitely doesnāt seem to vibe well with women who are afraid to stand up for themselves. Arielle looks back at the photographers rushing around and realizes she needs to get back to work. Turning to Santana, Arielle smiles at her with having enjoyed her company greatly so far.
ARIELLE MENDOZA: Hey honey, Iām about to wrap this shoot up. How about we grab lunch afterwards if you arent busy? And did you get an invite to the fashion show?
SANTANA ORTIZ: As a matter of fact, i sure did. Lunch is fine wit me too but while you up there makin the photographers hard, Ima get me a lil snack to pass the time.
Santana says while eying the food spread on the refreshments table as Arielle laughs before standing to her feet and heading back towards the runway to finish up with the photoshoot.The scene fades and reopens back at Angelica's studio. She is shown sitting inside her office talking on her phone. A knock at her.door interrupts her call. So she quickly ends it and walks over to the door, opening it to see up and coming model Isā¢Rael is shown standing at the door smiling. Angelica invites him in and motions for him to have a seat.
ANGELICA WARD: So, one of my male models pulled out of the show last minute. So I made a few calls to find a replacement, and of course my girl Kylie comes through and saves the day! She just so happened to have recently hired a guy by the name of Isreal and she said he would be perfect for the job. She sent me over his body of work and from what I saw he was definitely what I needed, so I invited him in to give him the final review. I really hope he works out, because I can't have anything going wrong in this show. I've put way too much into this.
The scene returns to the office. Angelica shuts the door behind the two and makes her way toward the desk.
ANGELICA WARD:Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for coming in so short notice!
ISā¢RAEL: No problem.
ANGELICA WARD: Can I get you anything to drink?
ISā¢RAEL: I guess maybe a vodka and cranberry will do.
ANGELICA WARD: Soā¦ did Kylie kinda fill you in on everything?
ISā¢RAEL: She gave me some details but not all, All I know is that Iām going to be walking a fashion show and maybe a couple photo shoots.
ISā¢RAEL: Kylie felt like I should meet with Angelica before the actual show, just so I could kind of see what I was getting myself into. I was honored that Kylie and Angelica even asked me to do this.
The scene cuts back to Isā¢Rael and Angelica.
ANGELICA WARD: Well basically, one of my models canceled last minute. And you are his exact measurements according to Kylie. And she tells me you know your way around this industry and I trust her word. And if you're up to it and this all goes well it could definitely turn into a recurring thing. And all my gigs are paid.
ISā¢RAEL: Any work done here in LA I can definitely commit to if Iām offered any opportunity but I still live in Atlanta so Iām usually back and forth. But trust me Iām perfect for the job, you wonāt be disappointed.
Isā¢Rael smiles.
ISā¢RAEL: I appreciate all the stuff both you and Kylie have done for me since Iāve been here in LA.
ANGELICA WARD: Kylie spoke very highly of you. So it's definitely a pleasure to have you on board. How about I get you linked with my assistant so we can look over your wardrobe quickly if you have a little time. I have to go get ready but you will be in good hands.
ISā¢RAEL: Thats fine I have the time.
Isā¢Rael walks over to another door that leads into a room where her assistant is shown standing near a rack of clothes. Isā¢Rael starts looking through the clothes, admiring all the pieces as the scene fades and reopens on the outside of Angel Bar Vegas. A long red carpet is shown in front of the building. People are shown making their entrances, stopping for paparazzi photo ops. Cars are shown pulling up to the valet to get checked in before zooming onto the red carpet. Angelica Ward is shown draped in a sheer dress with crystals covering only the essential parts being interviewed by Hollywood insider
ANGELICA WARD: The time has finally come! I can't believe it's been four years since I started So Angelic! I invited all of the girls to come and celebrate this moment with me. Even though some of us have had our disagreements in the past, at the end of the day I've always been about seeing my girls win and I wanna be there to see their successes . So I would love for them to be apart of mine. if they show, great, of not, no sleep lost.
She smiles as the scene fades to the carpet.
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: Angelica! Wow you look stunning!
ANGELICA WARD: Oh gracias! My stylist always keeps me right!
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: Who are you wearing tonight.
ANGELICA WARD: I'm giving you all this fever in John Galliano and of course Louboutin on my feet
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: It's only right!
ANGELICA WARD: Absolutely! It fit the occasion!
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: Absolutely! It's a big night indeed for you Angelica! Four years of So Angelic Studios! Celebrated tonight!
ANGELICA WARD:Si! Si! Going strong! My girls are still the most requested! And tonight I'm unveiling my new angelic angels to the world! And I couldn't be more excited!
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: And you've got some big names in the building.
ANGELICA WARD: Absolutely! We have my good friend Rick Ross is in the building tonight! I owe a lot to that man and he keeps blessing me. So he's gonna tear up the stage tonight! We have the beautiful ladies of Vixen Diaries here with us as well. Some of them are trickling their way in as we speak!
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: I can't wait to see the fashion show! I know you have to get in and work your magic! Congratulations again Angelica on four years. And hopes to many more!
ANGELICA WARD: Thank you so much! I'll see you inside!
Angelica air kisses the interviewer before walking off and making her way through the rest of the carpet. Cameras pan inside of Angel bar, catching views of the lavish decor. Seating is set up along a runway. Guests are shown filling the seats or stopping at the bar for a drink.
ANGELICA WARD: The seats are filling up fast.And I'm beyond excited! I see some of my girl are already trickling in. And again I'm sure some won't even bother to show. But, whoever doesn't is gonna miss an amazing show.
The scene returns to the bar where Angelica is now shown walking through to the back area to check in on things. The cameras pan to the outside of the fashion show. Angelica's best friend, rapper and producer, Drake Andrews is shown posing for pictures with his husband, Model, musician, and reality TV star, Brandon Young-Andrews at his side. They both take a few solo pics as well before making their way toward the entrance.
Drake: Thanks for coming B. Now can we make sure you behave tonight?
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: I always behave sir, and you are not my daddy unless itās in the bedroom.
Brandon snaps his fingers.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: Okkurr...
Drake: I'm just saying B. You know how you can get. And i know you don't really rock wit Angelica like that.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: Itās not that I donāt rock with her we just donāt spend time around each other, trust sheās no threat.
As the two disappear inside, the scene pans back to the red carpet, Wrestler Mariah Cruz is shown posing for pictures before making her way inside Angel Bar. She peaks around the corners, attempting to keep a professional face as she hasn't been at one of these events in a hot minute. She continues walking through the backstage area, looking down the halls from left to right for a familiar face. The "So Angelic" models were hastily getting dressed and receiving their final touch-ups on their outfits and make-up. Finally she spots Angelica among the masses backstage and quickens her pace to approach her.
ANGELICA WARD: I haven't seen my girl Mariah and ages. But we have always tried to at least make it to each other's big events to show love. And my girl didn't disappoint. It's really good to see a face that i know supports me wholeheartedly. Too many people around me have been rooting for my failure. So i needed some good vibes, and i know i'll get that with her.
The scene returns to the venue. Angelica greets Mariah with a warm hug. She smiles as she motions for her to have a seat.
ANGELICA WARD: It is so good to see you mama!
Mariah embraces her back with the hug while batting her friend with smile. She joins Angelica on the seat next to her.
Mariah| Marisol Francesca Cruz: Itās good to see you too, hun! You know I wouldnāt have missed this for the world. We havenāt touched base or had a chance to chat in a quite some time. I know you have all of this to manage tonight but would you have some time after the event?
ANGELICA WARD: Of course doll. Is everything ok?
Mariah| Marisol Francesca Cruz: You know me, staying busy as usual. Wrestling, training, and trying to be like you getting my own stuff off the ground. Seeing your success with all of your business endeavors has been an inspiration to me.
Angelica smiles
ANGELICA WARD: It's definitely been a journey. Let me tell you.
ANGELICA WARD: Everyone knows i got my start in the club. For some girls, that's where they stop. And I would never knock them for it. But i knew it was never enough for me. I always wanted more. So i kept and continue working for more. I didn't want to forever be known as āAngelica, the stripper Blue Knightā. I wanted to just be Angelica. The brand. And it feels good to share my success with my friends. That's why i do what i do.
The scene returns to the two
ANGELICA WARD: That really means a lot. And any way I can help, don't be afraid to ask. You've always been a huge supporter of everything i've done. Let me return the favor.
Mariah| Marisol Francesca Cruz: If you donāt mind, I would love to recommend your fashions to my friends in the modeling industry or those who just want to rock your fashions period.
ANGELICA WARD: Girl i would never turn that down! I'll even send you home with a few pieces for you to rock yourself so they have something to look at.
Mariah| Marisol Francesca Cruz: I would love that! Youāre always too good to me. Itās like we never had time apart from each other.
ANGELICA WARD: That's real friendship mama! We both have lives of our own that keep us very busy, but when we can, we link up like we never left.
Mariah| Marisol Francesca Cruz: What can I sayā¦ It seemed like time stood still and things starting working out for the better once I got back in touch with you. Seemed like the best thing for me is to have my guardian angel or rather my Angelica back in my life for I will know I wonāt go astray.
Their conversation is interrupted by Angelica's panicking assistant. He runs up to Angelica leaning over to catch his breath.
ANGELICA WARD: What's going on papa?
SCOTTY: Girl! They fighting!
ANGELICA WARD: What?! Who!?
SCOTTY: Some of the guests! I guess they had to much to drink!
ANGELICA WARD: Where is Tyreek?!
SCOTTY: He got it under control thankfully. But the dining hall is a disaster.
ANGELICA WARD: I cannot! We have about 2 hours to get it back in order before the guests transfer into that room.
Angelica shakes her head in disgust
ANGELICA WARD: The guests are just starting to pour in and there's already a fight! I don't have time for this right now! I'm not about to let anybody ruin this event for me. I have to get this back under control
The scene returns to the venue.
ANGELICA WARD: Get everyone! That room needs to be turned around asap.
SCOTTY: On it. I've already called to get some extra hands. They'll be here within the hour.
Angelica directs her attention back to Mariah.
ANGELICA WARD: It's always something!
Mariah looks back at Angelica as she runs her fingers through her own hair as she stretches. She nods in agreement.
Mariah| Marisol Francesca Cruz: Mind if I help in some way? I'd rather not just sit on my hands while youāve got a crisis on your hands.
ANGELICA WARD: No, no! I'm not gonna put you to work. I want you to enjoy the show. But let's grab a drink or something later on! We can talk more then.
Mariah nods reluctantly
Mariah| Marisol Francesca Cruz: Alright. I just donāt want you to be an emotional wreck and all stressed out when you should be celebrating tonight. If I can help in any way at all, donāt hesitate to ask. Really, I donāt mind.
Angelica thanks Mariah and the two wrap up before angelica is pulled off to handle the fiasco. The cameras then pan toward MIL's and Newly named āY Managementā CEO Y'layna Bryant alongside her boyfriend, rapper and producer, Majesty Montana. The two share a playful kiss for the camera and pose for pics before approaching the Hollywood Insider interviewer.
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: The boss has just stepped into the building! How are you feeling tonight Y'layna?
Y'layna: It feels so amazing to be here! I've personally known Angelica for a few years, but I've known of her work for a very long time. I'm so happy for all of her success so of course I'm gonna show up and show support. Big ups to her!
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: Absolutely! Absolutely. You've actually had quite a successful year yourself! After taking a bit of a hiatus. I see you're back with a new brand and even a new direction. Tell us a little about that
Y'layna: That's right! I felt like I was kind of in a rut. I enjoyed working with wrestlers. It was definitely a new and exciting challenge that i conquered. So i needed to do something new. Im sure you know Katch. I think he's also in the building tonight. But he and i go back years.
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: I remember! You were in his music video! Fab by the way!
Y'layna: Yeah that was definitely something new for me. But anyway. He had called me and told me his contract had ended with his last manager and he was looking for a new one. So i switched gears. And YL went music!
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: And a new name for a new company!
Y'layna: That's right! We're simply Y Management now.
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: And i hear your roster is growing into a powerhouse! You have quite a few heavy hitters signed under your label. Including this handsome piece of candy on your arm! Majesty, good to see you. You look good!
MAJESTY MONTANA: Thank you, she dressed me.
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: What's going on with this album? You've dropped a few singles. And the fans are waiting! Can you give us a date?
MAJESTY MONTANA: Album is still no solid date yet, but I can say Iām hoping around Valentineās day.
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: And how is it having your girlfriend also be your manager?
MAJESTY MONTANA: Itās cool. She looks out for me as an artists, and even moreso because weāre together. She donāt want me coming home with nothing less than I deserve. The downside, is when sheās brutally honest and we have to take that long ride home together.
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: Well it definitely seems like it's working so far, because we're loving what we're seeing! And we're loving you two! I'm gonna let you get inside! But it was great talking to you guys!
The three finish up their interview and Majesty grabs Y'layna's waist and escorts her toward the entrance. Photographers continue snapping shots of the duo.
Y'layna: That woman can talk. Lord.
she chuckles
Y'layna: But we really do need to finish this album babe.
MAJESTY MONTANA: Yeah, Talley still been missing and he was supposed to be helping produce the thing. But Iām hitting the studio to finish up those few I showed you.
Y'layna: We need to figure out that's going on with him. But you know i have no problem finding a replacement if it's gonna slow the album down. Especially after dropping hints of a release date. We can't push back now.
MAJESTY MONTANA: I know what happened, that dude Jesus happened. Once he popped up it was a problem. But yeah we have to find him, but the show must go on. I had to tell them something, the fans have been waiting for a while now babe.
Y'layna: Well we can deal with all of that when the time comes. I don't wanna go into manager mode right now. But just know we need to be be on it. I need to find Angelica before this thing starts. She told me she had a check waiting for me.
MAJESTY MONTANA: Talley better be good though, but you right babe go get that check!
Majesty kisses Yālayna a few times before smiling. Y'layna blushes as the two enter the venue. Y'layna makes her way backstage to find Angelica. Cameras stop at one of the dressing rooms in the back. A model is shown getting her hair and makeup adjusted. A knock on the door grabs her attention. As as the door pops open, model Queen Prescott turns around, finally revealing herself. A wide smile spreads across her face as her boyfriend, rapper, King comes into the room. She hops out of chair and jumps into his arms. He catches her and wraps his arms around her, giving her a kiss.
QUEEN PRESCOTT: Babe! You made it!
QUEEN PRESCOTT: I'm back bitches!
She blows a kiss before flipping her hair off of her shoulders.
QUEEN PRESCOTT:Y'all couldn't have thought Vixen Diaries was coming back, and yall werent gonna see my face. I was definitely sad to see how things ended with the first season. But people don't realize that the cameras stop rolling. Real life doesnt. And some of these women had some real deep shit goin. They just couldn't come together. But when Ang gave me the call and td me things got sorted, i wanted to see it through. So here I am! As you know i have been one of the Angelic dolls since the doors opened 4 years ago. But me and Angelica go back to childhood. So to see where we both are from where we started...let's just say it's a beautiful thing.
she pauses, smiling as she reflects on memories of the two growing up.
QUEEN PRESCOTT: But anyway, things have been going really well for me still. I recently teamed up with this dope group of shoe designers and came up with a whole line. We actually sold out our first day. We weren't even ready for how big it was gonna get.
A quick video of the shoe launch event, #crownedQUEEN appear on camera before going back to the confessional.
QUEEN PRESCOTT:Things are still going strong with King at I. It's been about three years now. And i couldn't be happier. Now we're just waiting on that ring.
She chuckles, jokingly pointing to her ring finger.
QUEEN PRESCOTT: I don't know why I still fall for his lies, when he tells me he won't be able to make it to one of my events. He always calls and makes up some story and how he cant make it and then ten minutes later, he pops up. And I'm always surprised. Im just so happy he is here. Tonight is a big night and im gonna love looking out seeing him cheer me on.
The scene returns to the two. Queen sits back in her chair to let her stylist finish up.
QUEEN PRESCOTT:I knew you were gonna be here. You're so phony
King leans over and plants a kiss onto Queenās forehead and smiles.
KING MONTANA: I told you, if Iām close and can move some shit aside? Itās nothing to come support my Queen. All the shows and road time the last few years aināt go unnoticed.
He then takes a few steps over to allow her stylist have free roam of her station. King pulls up a chair and sits nearby before pulling out his phone and scrolling.
KING MONTANA: My damn legs still sore from the show last night.
QUEEN PRESCOTT: You been killing it bae! But I know you're tired. I'll give you a nice massage when we get back home.
KING MONTANA: Shit, letās go now. Tempting me with a good time. But how are you feeling?
QUEEN PRESCOTT: Im good babe. Just ready to get this show over and done. Im looking forward to a little rest and relaxation. Im really thinking a little vacation is overdue. Just me and you
QUEEN PRESCOTT: Both of our schedules have been super packed. Between him touring, and me traveling for these bookings, we're always on the road. But i just want some.time away to lay up with my baby. And not have to worry about anything else
The scene returns to the two
KING MONTANA: The tour is finished up and I have a few loose ends to tie up with that. But where was you thinking for this little ābaecationā because Iām down. Away from work for a little and get to enjoy what I been working for.
King picks up his phone and starts tapping on it and then tosses it onto Queenās lap.
KING MONTANA: See TO3 been missing for a minute though, but this shit been popping up with his phone saying active. Maybe Iām trippingā¦. But thatās not what Iām showing you, scroll down real quick and tell me what you think of that new jewelry spot.
Queen picks up the phone and scrolls through, looking through some of the pieces.
QUEEN PRESCOTT: Okay!! Mama getting some new ice! But what the hell is going on with ya boy? Have you tried calling him?
The two continue their conversation as the camera pans to the main hall of Angel Bar. Seats continue to fill. Some guests order drinks as they wait for the show to begin.
ANGELICA WARD: Disasters aside, we're ready to get this show on the road! This is definitely my biggest show to date. This year I signed more girls than ever before. And I had to present a collection to match their caliber. I'm not really sure if any of the girl's showed up tonight and to be honest, i could care less. Most of them seem to be against me for whatever reason anyway. So if they show, great. If not...great.
The scene fades back to the venue. The lights dim,focusing a solo spotlight onto the mainstage. The audience silences as the show begins. The host of the evening makes her way center stage to the applause of the crowd. Angelica smiles warmly awaiting them to settle down.
ANGELICA WARD: Ladies and gentlemen, i want to thank you all for coming out tonight as i present my Angelic dolls this year! For four years my girls have dominated the industry, some even crossing over into music themselves to release their own projects. But tonight these ladies are going to not only help me present to you my Angelic nights 2019 collection, but also celebrate 4 years and hopefully many more to come. Ladies and gentlemen with some help from my best friend, rapper and producer, Drake Andrews, please help me welcome the Angelic Dolls!
Angelica exits the stage as the curtains pull back. Drake Andrews comes out into the stage to the cheers of the audience. As the show kicks off the models begin to flood the runway
ANGELICA WARD: This is it! My girls are looking amazing. Drake is killing the show as usual! We're off to a great start! Lets just hope it stays that way.
The scene returns to the venue where Drake is still shown performing as the models show off the looks to Angelica's latest collection. The scene cuts to North Winters who is shown fixing her hair from the audience and looking into a mini mirror in the shape of a diamond, sitting next to her is one of her closest friends and Brooklyn Carterās ex assistant Dana McCullough.
NORTH WINTERS: I donāt know if I can see myself wearing any of this stuff, itās cute but baby I got curves.
DANA MCCULLOUGH: The models are cute.
NORTH WINTERS: I would have walked the runway if she would have asked, but I guess these girls are okay.
DANA MCCULLOUGH: Don't they work for her bar also?
NORTH WINTERS: I think so, but hey why not save a coin and use girls you already employ.
NORTH WINTERS: I wanted to stop by Angelicaās fashion show to see what all the hype was about and also to show a little support. I wanted Mia and Carmen to come but those two donāt get along and plus both arenāt to fond of Angelica so I decided to bring one of my closest friends from childhood, Dana McCullough. You may know her from being Brooklyn Carterās assistant but when she started a family, she cut ties and became a housewife. I aināt mad at her though, her children are beautiful and sheās still married. I figured she needed some time from the husband and kids so I asked her to join me today.
The scene cuts back to North and Dana.
NORTH WINTERS: After the show Iāll introduce you two and congratulate her on the show.
DANA MCCULLOUGH: That would be nice, I know you have your doubts because of what you heard but nowadays everyone talks, doesnāt necessarily mean what theyāre talking about is real or even true.
NORTH WINTERS: Facts.
The scene cuts back to the main runway where more models are shown walking. The scene fades to black.
