Hey Ladies!!!!
Happy May!!! (Sorry about that whole Cinco de Drinko fiasco, I swear I thought I knew the doorman LOL)
Ok, this may be the most important email I send all year, so PLEASE RESPOND RIGHT AWAY. We need to figure out our summer weekend plans ASAP!!!! We’re closing in on our mid-twenties and I think this is gonna be the summer we all meet our potential first husbands, so location is EVERYTHING!!! Plus Sex and the City. Let’s take a vote!
#KILLIN’ITSUMMER2K14
Amagansett:
Pros: Talkhouse
Cons: I think Mike’s parents have a place there, and Judy and I aren’t on the best terms, and she knows why
Montauk:
Pros: YES PLEASE. Sloppy Tuna/Milkbar/Surf Lodge, chill bros
Cons: Gwyneth has a place here, and even though she’s a cougar, I feel like we attract the same kinds of dudes, and I don’t want to compete sexually with her
Jersey Shore:
Pros: NONE LOL
Cons: We’ll be in Jersey, just thought I’d throw it out there for Nicole LOL
Martha’s Vineyard/Nantucket:
Pros: Boston boys are SOOOO cute! And might be a nice change of scenery?? Taylor Swift used to summer here when she was dating Conor Kennedy so
Cons: Really far. Would possibly have to relocate for the right LDR
What does everyone think?? I also think it might be dope to just go to Europe (South of France, Ibiza, maybe the Ukraine??) for different weekends during the summer!!
Let me know by COB.

Hey everyone,
As we all know, my aunt Katherine has a summer house in Nantucket that we’d be able to use. It’s part of her husband’s family estate (note to self: Marry an iBanker like Aunty K!) so like, not sure if his side of the family is using it but it’s 7 BR/5 BATH and right on the beach. I’m thinking we should do this??
But like…
We’d need to follow a few rules (which is fine).
HOUSE RULES (as per Katherine):
1. No shoes in the house
2. Outdoor showers after beach only
3. Don’t use the oven to cook any type of meat product, only the grill
4. Don’t spill anything
5. No parties
6. No boys (she’s suppppper Catholic lol)
THOUGHTS????
xo,
morgs

Aw Morgan, your Aunt sounds adorbs! Here’s the thing. Obviously Nantucket is beautiful. I love their shade of pants, and I love their nectars. I’m wondering if your Aunt can be a bit flexible on her “rules.”
I mean I don’t anticipate anything crazy happening, but let’s just say that I juice cleanse my way into some crop tops, look super fierce, and somehow we all end up at a yacht party put on by one of the Patriots! Then I start hitting it off with some dude named Jack or Blake or maybe Aidan, and he wants to go somewhere quiet where he can be vulnerable and open up to me about his fears about his upcoming run for Congress. We get in his Hummer, he puts on Jack Johnson or Mahler or something to get the mood all nice, and just as he’s about to lean in I have to tell him he can’t come over to fall in love with me because of Morgan’s Aunt???
Would your Aunt really be upset? Is there a way to check if she has any nannycams and what her security system is like? Like if there’s cameras, can they be disabled, or what are we working with? No bigs! Just let me know by EOB.

Ali,
I agree with you literally 110% on all fronts and like I know you hate when I do that but like I really do and I’m not just sucking up.
Morgan, your aunt sounds kind of rigid and what she doesn’t know won’t kill her. ALI DESERVES TO FIND LOVE, MORGAN!!!!!!! it’s almost like you don’t want to see her happy. You always were SO JEALOUS of Ali ever since Peter McCarthy kissed her during rush week freshman year even though you were obsessed with him. GET OVER IT. TALK TO YOUR AUNT.
Like I’m sorry but honestly no.

LOL you are hilarious Ash! That’s so funny about Peter McCarthy. I can’t believe I used to love lax bros. That seems so long ago. I wonder what happened to him? He just liked some girls bikini pic on Instagram, but then he also just liked a photo of a corgi!!! I could message him and find out what he’s doing this summer and if they are going in on a house?? Ali would you be ok seeing a former flame?? You know we went to Benihana once. Pretty ratched. But cute!!
My aunt is really strict. What about Jen and Brad’s incestral home??

Hi Ladies!
Wow, Katie. I didn’t hear back from you in time, and already confirmed the summer share in the Hamps. If you REALLY can’t make it, please just paypal me $4500 for your share then. Otherwise, the price goes up for everyone and that’s just not fair.
It will be really fun! We’ll all be sharing a room (LOL Nicole, we’re all on a budget girl!), and the guys in the house seem pretty dope and chill. Should we happy hour beforehand to all meet?? I call dibs on Blackout Brad and Kevin the Crusher as my summer fling, but I think there are lots of cool bros in the house too!
Also everyone PLEASE paypal me the $4500 by today!!! I need it to pay rent!!! I put 25k on my credit card (HELLO miles!) and am freaking out!
Loveeeee,
Ali
