Hey Ladies,

Can you believe it’s fall? I’m literally dying. Also NY weather is so weird – can we wear coats yet? This is the stuff that plagues me, but I have a really cute army green jacket I’m dying to wear! Zara!

So brunch was so so so so so super fun. Did I tell you guys that waiter ended up texting me? I obv did not answer but I think I screenshot the text over when it happened (did I???? let me know, I can send it again!)

The thing is….like……….. I feel like I could definitely easily date him (lol jk but I prob could)  but 2013 is my year of positive growth and change and that means no relationships. Like, if I wanted a random text I’d reactivate my okCupid.

ANYWAY. Halloween. It’s coming up and I really think it’s important to be ready for it this year. I know we barely got our shit together last year and I would really like to avoid the same thing this time around. Honestly we’re nearing 30 and this will eventually no longer be cute so we need to YOLO while it lasts.

So what I am saying is this is really important to me. Please send me back your ideas (honestly I am slammed at work and have no time to think of anything! Love my job. Miss my life), but I know you girls can give this brainstorm the time and dedication it needs.

you girls are amaze.

let me know what you think, I’ll veto accordingly and we’ll go from there.

loves ya,

katie

Hey Ladies!!!

This is so funny, I literally had a Halloween email draft going, but I was TOO crazed at work to actually send it!!

You’re so lucky your job doesn’t entail being a major content producer like mine does. Producing content is SO vital yet SO exhausting.  As we say in the biz, so many platforms, so little time!! So THANK YOU Katie for getting the ball rolling!

I’ve literally been compiling ideas on google docs/my secret fantasy-life Pinterest all year long and these are the best!!

#CrushingHalloween2013 Costumes!

ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK!!!!!  So fun and current!

Me – Piper, pre-prison days when she committed the crime! (cause it was my idea and I have a Piper Get Buff Thinspirational Board going already ;))

Nicole – Alex – cause of that time you tried to kiss me drunk on Four Lokos

Ash – Pennsatucky – You know why, LOL!

Morgan – Crazy Eyes….(Honestly, your eyes are saucer-like and like a Disney princess, but they are soo huge too!!)

Gracie – Sophia – Sorry, but you’re over 5’8” LOL!

Katie: Pornstache — Mustaches are soo fun to wear for instagram pics!

BLING RING!

GIRLS — Not in love with it but I guess I’ll be Marnie (everyone says I look like Allison Williams), Nicole can be Jessa since she’s our bohemian ;), Morgan can be Shoshannah since she looks the most Jewish, and Katie can be Hannah Horvath since she likes broke dudes!

Classics: Catholic school girls, flight attendants, cats, Spice Girls (I call NOT being Sporty Spice!), and Charlie’s Angels (HAHAH we can totally do the Charlie’s Angels pose in pics LOLOL)

#CrushingHalloween2013 Parties!

Where are we partying?? I’m a little stressed out about this!!!!

Everyone submit their parties to me and I’ll pick the best ones of the night!!

Thematically, we want to aim for something in the key of Tribeca loft party of ibankers! Basically I want to meet dudes dressed up with their friends as characters from TOP GUN.

Write me back ASAP!!!!!

Ali!

You’re SUCH a Leo! I totally want to give you a well-deserved break from planning and take this one off your hands.

Your suggestions are great but a little tired (no offense, like literally none). Piper and the prison girls is cute but since I have her body type I think I should be able to be Piper. LOL AGAIN NO OFFENSE.

Girls – idk. While it’s true that Morgan looks very Jewish I think it’s best we steer away from dressing up as anything too niche. Not everyone’s dad has HBOgo for them to steal!! Haha.  Do we maybe wanna do housewives?????? Nicole has the forehead for Teresa!!!!!!

We need something original and really cute. Like…sexy weather??? This is really stressing me out.

Honestly Ali come up with some ideas for where to party and I’ll be the one to veto. I’ll be really disappointed if we phone it in and go as cats again.

PS. Who has the new iPhone??

Hey!

Thanks for including me in these emails 🙂  Since  I just moved here I thought I’d probably end up just staying in or something, so I appreciate it 🙂

I’m down for something low-key. I can wear my costume from last year, and maybe we all can just dress up as whatever we feel like and hit some parties or a bar.

Can’t wait,

Gracie

Hiii Ladiessss!

Sounds amazing!!!!!!! Gracie, coordinated costumes are so much fun, you’re gonna love it!!!

I for one agree with Katie that we should go as something “original” and “cute.” What if we went as sexy Breaking Bad characters?? Or what about Catholic schoolgirl cheerleader cats??

Right??

LOVE YA BBs.

Hiii girls!!!

SORRY it took me SO LONG to write back — my neighbor’s WiFi has been touch and go 🙂

I’m SO EXCITED FOR HALLOWEEN!!!!!! We are going to crush it so hard this year!!!!!!

Hmm…I also like the idea about original and really cute costumes! So what about….

(are you ready??)

(anticipation building…)

(Cue Jock Jams’ “Are You Ready For This”!!!!!!!!!)

What if we went as BRIDESMAIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like for instance, we all wore our bridesmaid dresses we got for Jen’s wedding!!!!!!! FUN!!!!!!!!

Here’s the thing — Bridesmaids are super on trend this fall because of the movie BRIDESMAIDS. Plus bridesmaids also happen to be dudes’ #1 sex fetish as well, according to Glamour’s Ask Jake. Must be cause guys get really turned on by the idea of weddings and marriage, I think??

LETS DO THIS!!!!

<3 Nicole

ps– If any of you are upgrading to the new iPhone and want to get rid of your old one I can trade you for a “coupon book” good for 10 backrubs!! LMK!!!!!!!!

Hi Ladies!!

Ok first off, LOL Nicole — I haven’t seen my bridesmaid dress since I left it at Jen’s hot young uncle’s suite at the W. I mean I guess I could text him???

Real Housewives, ugh. I think my mom did that one five years ago. Next!

Seriously, ladies. This is REALLY important. Between all our friends getting engaged and what’s going on in the world in the wake of the government shutdown and all the news that’s happening internationally, we all need this. So let’s be like Kate and Leo and MAKE IT COUNT.

If I don’t hear back from you guys by COB I’m Etsy-ing Piper & the Inmates costumes. We really need to get a move on this.

XOXOXOXO Ali

Hi Ladies!!!

Wow, Katie. Did someone forget to take her Midol??! LOLOLOL. It’s so funny cause I usually PMS around the 15th — I thought you girls were all synced up to me since I’m on the pill??? Whatever, that’s neither here nor there. Hope you’re feeling better babe.

So I was a bit stressed with all these upsetting emails at first, but I just got back from a great session with my soul cycling instructor/therapist and bottom line is I need to listen to what my lower back tattoo says in Sanskrit and JUST BREATHE. Anyway, Tiff suggested that I delegate and I think that’s a great idea!!! I think you guys will like what I came up with, it caters to everyone’s strengths! 🙂

Piper & the Inmates  #CrushingHalloween2013 Task List

Ash – Research and book appointments for day of mani/pedi/spray tan/teeth whitening/Brazilians

Morgan – Find out how many makeup artists and blow-out artists we will need for the pre-party. Can your work husband do some Excel modeling to figure out the CPM and ROI?

Nicole – Can we get a vodka sponsorship for the night?? Ask your boss!! Between us all I bet we can deliver anywhere from 100-120 social media impressions

Charlotte – Traffic will be a bitch, so look into an pedicab sponsorship

Katie – Sock bun research. I’m leaning towards sock buns for all of us, and would LOVE if you can find the best type of sock!! Maybe hit up Costco and Target as well as small eco-friendly locally sourced sock stores as well? Then you can report back your findings!!

Also, no bigs, but has anyone been invited to any parties yet??

Love ya!

Ali (aka Piper!)

ps – Hope you’re feeling better Katie. I was just watching Felicity on DVD and there’s this part where she cuts her hair short like a boy and it would look AMAZING on you, you should totally get that haircut!!!  I WISH I could pull it off!!  LMK!!!

Hey ladies,

Thanks for being so understanding of my e-outburst lol. It’s just that things at work have been so cray. If you told me a year ago that I’d be looking at two job offers for 6 figures each (plus benefits and stock options) I’d be like what? Are you high? But here we are. Plus that and the fact that my new apartment still needs to be furnished and Crate & Barrel still hasn’t figured out how to send me their catalog to my new address (it’s like hello I want to give you my money). Idk. I’ve just been in such a place.

Also on the topic of cycles I’m late soooo??? (??????)

Luckily you have the flex in your life to understand my struggles. I am SUCH A LUCKY GIRL.

I’m fine with the Orange Is the New Black idea I guess. Ali you seem so into it and far be it from me to rob you from something that seems to just, like, fulfill you!!

I can definitely handle sock bun research but my recommendation is that we all do a test run at a trustworthy salon (Morgan no offense but whoever you got to do hair for Jen’s wedding was incompetent as shit I looked like a drowned rat but Morgan obv your messy bun looked amazing I just think we could look outside the box a little more I mean this is MANHATTAN??)

Huge Hugs bitches,

Katie

Hi Ladies!

OMG, ok any chance you can all take your period talk offline I don’t want it spamming everyone’s inboxes. But seriously,  I’m here if any of you girls need me though. I’m really great in a crisis.

K, I’ve ordered your inmate costumes from a seamstress in India off eBay. I had to guesstimate your measurements, so don’t hate! You all owe me $120 each, just paypal me please by COB.

How’s everyone’s research coming along????????

I figured out how to do read receipts in gmail so I KNOW you all are seeing this, answer me girls! LOLOLOL!!!!!

Oh, gosh. $120. I think I need to take a step back.  The more low-key it is the more fun it always ends up being. It’s like how you always meet someone on the nights when you randomly end up going out and half hate your outfit. and forgot to shave that morning, you know?

I’m having dinner with my parents before, so I’ll just do my own hair and makeup and I’ll meet you guys out. This is gonna be great.

Okay Hey Ladies,

Official countdown to Halloween is on, let’s not forget the mishap of 2010 it’s like I can’t even look a lycra the same anymore. I put us all in a 6am Soul Cycle on the 30th and then just like, don’t eat for 24 hours and we should be good (we’ll totes drunk brunch on Nov 1st yayzies).

Ali thanks for ordering the costumes, $120 seems a little steep for something we will only wear once (unless any of you are into freaky shit ha! Nicole that’s a subtweet 2 u!!!) but I mean, you already ordered it, so…will PayPal you soon. Also for the record it’s not that I don’t have the money (I do) but I am reading a Suze Orman book and just generally trying to be better with my choices but totally understand we’re not all in that same place so I am very go with the flow about this!! You know me, laid back!!

Also, no offense, but everyone in this group has different hair types so please figure out your sock bun remedy on your own time, I don’t have the broadband to deal with this right now!! AGAIN SO BUSY WITH WORK BUT love you all for supporting me LOLOL don’t worry you’ll be in my shoes eventch!!!

OKAY so yayyyy halloween!!! love this!!!!!!! so glad we can still have fun as adults i think that’s so important.

love you ladies 🙂

email back ASAP w. plans for your hair just want to make sure nothing falls through the cracks…google docs???? what is dropbox again???

XOOXOXOXOXOOX,

Katie

Hey Ladies!!!

OMG had sooooo much fun at the pre-party with you!!!! How was the West Village parade???

Sorry I ran out when Mike texted me – he just really wanted to see my Piper costume and could only put my name on the list for Avenue!!!

Did your costumes make sense without me there or did everyone think you were like just grown women dressed up as janitors or something LOL??

Can I come to brunch?????

xo, Ali

ps- I’ll send you an invoice for all the food I bought for the pre-party once I count up the receipts!

    As always, I just want to punch these people in the head.

    Brainstorming for sexy weather costumes for next year.

      1. NicoleCliffe +111

        Join a book club, Gracie! Develop a sense of community by commenting on a niche ladyblog!

          2. JocastaCarr +63

            Eat Pray Love, obvs. And Lean In. Or they might read something like Behind the Beautiful Forevers, then spend the entire meeting talking about how much they related to it and how similar their own problems are.

          4. EPWordsnatcher +84

            50 Shades of Gray. “Just to see what all the fuss is about (lol)! And I’m always looking for tips to liven up the bedroom (lolol)!”

          7. bgprincipessa +29

            There’s no way anyone but Nicole is actually reading it, and she’ll have gotten it from the library.

      2. dakimel +24

        I think (HOPE) she did – she’s not on the last email from 11/1. Fingers crossed it’s cause she bailed and has been summarily dropped!

    1. supernintendo +17

      Oh my god so much about this but why are they all wearing sock buns if they’re supposed to be different characters?? THESE GIRLS

    1. NicoleCliffe +17

      Scan ’em, probably. But I always assume people like this are like Cerie on 30 Rock and know how to do things before the rest of us do, just with an evil edge.

      1. rhymeswitheight +10

        Thank god. I’m a perpetual read and don’t reply for a while email person (I know this is a bad habit, I’m working on it!) and it would be somewhat embarrassing if people could tell.

      1. sheistolerable +4

        Never mind, found it. It’s in the article I didn’t read because I could tell it would make me ragey : )

    1. bgprincipessa +48

      Broke Nicole mentioning her neighbor’s wifi – so perfect. And pushing to use the bridesmaid dresses. Just everything.

  7. JocastaCarr +78

    I love these so much, but I also get secondhand stress just from reading them. ALI MUST BE STOPPED.

    That being said, I died when I got to “all the news that’s happening internationally.” Perfection.

    1. mbculver +43

      Ali’s terrible, but Katie’s worse: let me know what you think, I’ll veto accordingly and we’ll go from there. Holy crap.

      1. JocastaCarr +32

        But it’s so IMPORTANT to Katie!!!! Her six figure job takes too much broadband for her to come up with her own ideas!!!!

    2. SwagHorse +17

      It’s like You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation With at a Party except not drunk!

  9. Adventure_Club +54

    “Ugh I am SO exhausted from working 12 hour days because of this new project and promotion haha my job is crazy but I am learning SO MUCH. Gracie, I forget your job but I think you said you are like a receptionist? So maybe you can take the lead on costume research!! <3”

  10. victorytasteslikehashbrowns +72

    we need to YOLO while it lasts

    I dont know how you made YOLO more insufferable but applause! Applause!

    2. Battle_Swine +105

      I explained YOLO to my husband recently, but he got it mixed up later and yelled out “LOLA!” in the middle of something and I died.

      1. LeastBittern +41

        Yeah, but then you have to decide between setting them somewhere like delicate eggs or throwing them. There’s really no third option. They don’t stack well at all.

  18. tubatoothpaste +12

    Everything about this is perfect and wonderful. Thanks for circling back and checking in on the Ladies! 🙂

  19. tekkah +34

    Your suggestions are great but a little tired (no offense, like literally none). Piper and the prison girls is cute but since I have her body type I think I should be able to be Piper. LOL AGAIN NO OFFENSE.

    UGHHH KATIE IS THE WORST.

    Also I love how it’s this whole group of ladies but you’ve got Caitlin and Morgan clearly giving only the smallest of shits about the planning and just piping up with “I’m good with whatever” “I propose a silly hashtag.” Those girls know what’s up.

    1. supernintendo +20

      Halloween is like “really important” to her, but she doesn’t actually come up with any ideas! And then she “circles back” on the same day? Egregious.

  20. PaigePoo +64

    Real facebook message from a friend:

    LADIES! NEED PICTURES! We are trying to get our wedding website (WEDSITE!) up and running and need some pictures of the proposal. If you have time, will you please email me anything you have? My email address is [email protected].

    Thanks! Miss you all so much!

    (I think I’m the Gracie of my friend group.)

      1. PaigePoo +66

        It was a highly coordinated effort that I disagreed with MOST WHOLE-HEARTEDLY, which resulted in other friends telling me that I wasn’t sentimental enough. Which may be true.

        1. mmejoy +63

          Did you happen to take any pictures of the ladies room at the highly coordinated effort? Or maybe a really unflattering photo of the groom-to-be? A good, sound trolling is needed here.

  22. dakimel +50

    Who else is slashing Nicole/Katie now that Katie gets all those backrubs from Nicole in exchange for the phone?

    1. bgprincipessa +47

      The next installment of Hey Ladies is Femslash Friday with everyone bashing Nicole and Katie on accidental reply-all.

  23. chnellociraptor +76

    I have never hated a fictional person as much as I hate Ali. Dolores Umbridge levels of hatred over here.

    Guys, let’s all thank Saskia Deerson for sponsoring this post! It’s a new thing, but if you donate more than $50 to the Toast, we’re letting you pick a post to “sponsor,” like they do with otters and stuff at the zoo. “Hey Ladies!” is Sas’s otter today, and we couldn’t be more grateful to her.

    4. Sas +68

      Naw guys, shucks!! I maintain the thanks should go to the actual writers/the toast in general, because they are awesome.

      Also, BITCHIEST. OTTER. EVER. This otter refuses to hold the other otters’ hands when they nap.

  26. lemonadefish +28

    Now I really want to be some sexy weather. Like the sun from those stupid sausage commercials, but with boob cut-outs. That’d be awesome, right?

    1. SarcasticFringehead +28

      To be most relevant to the PNW, I need to find a way to be sexy kind-of-drizzle-but-also-kind-of-fog-that-doesn’t-seem-that-bad-but-gets-you-surprisingly-wet-when-you-don’t-wear-your-raincoat-because-you-didn’t-realize-there-was-actual-weather-happening. Maybe, like, a spray bottle and some glitter? But sexy.

      2. lemonadefish +10

        Hahaha your sexy weather costume gets everyone around you all wet. Success! (Spray bottle and glitter, plus you are naked except for some fake spiderwebs wrapped around strategically.)

  27. omgitsjpax +51

    ” Morgan can be Shoshannah since she looks the most Jewish”

    God bless Morgan for never responding.

  29. Rianne +52

    I need to listen to what my lower back tattoo says in Sanskrit and JUST BREATHE.

    I died. Almost for real. I choked on my coffee.

    I know people with sanskrit tattoos and am considering getting one. Are they universally terrible? Please tell me.

    3. brigidkeely +37

      Unless Sanskrit is part of your heritage, they’re really cultural appropriation-y. Which you might not care about, but you’re asking, so…?

  30. agamebeyond +19

    These might be my favorite Toast Posts (instagram #toaspostsYOLOL of course) it brings me right back to that semester in college I lived with three sorority girls who hated each other.

    I’m crossing my fingers so hard that all the late periods mean that the next installment will be planning for a baby shower.

    2. lemonadefish +40

      Triple baby shower! OMG you guys! It will be so cute when we send them all to the same preschool! I’ve started a spreadsheet with pros and cons for each – hope you’ve started your applications!!!

  34. Amphora

    I don't even know what LMK, COB, or "sock bun" mean. I have *literally* never read these things before. Love Mary-Kate?

  35. brigidkeely

    LMK is Let Me Know

    COB is… Close Of Business (Day)?

    a sock bun is a bun you make using a sock. http://www.beautylish.com/a/vcvzi/how-to-do-a-soc… A big part of the point of sock buns is that they're easy to do using shit you have around your house. So sourcing "good" socks is… super ridiculous. BUT. They're super popular/on trend right now.

    HTH! (Hope That Helps)

  36. sarahchristine +7

    The Hey Ladies NYE plans are already stressing me out. I’m praying that’s the next installment!

  39. Caroline Moss

    SO actually "sexy weather" was inspired from my REAL 2010 Halloween costume. I went as a "rain storm" (wore a blue dress, blue tights, rainboots (NO HEELS NO HEELS!) and carried an umbrella. i also painted my face with clouds and rain drops). I show up to the party where all of my friends are dressed as sexy construction workers and sexy pilgrims (…) and they pretty much "awww you're so brooklyn"ed me for the rest of the night.

  40. Arin Arcady

    Sock bun is when you take a stall dinner roll and put it in the toe of a sock as a weapon. It’s to go with their OITNB costumes.
