That Stupid Tricked Up Harlot! She really can't fathom she did anything wrong or just how much she could have damaged Bloom Gallery's reputation by spewing that info about Hunter.
That six week suspension without pay and working with that sleaze Campbell Lutz is too nice but I can understand Brian wanting to make sure everything is taken care of.
Plus they are going to be busy getting ready for the Spa weekend and the wedding they have enough on their plates at the moment.
I can understand Zee's anger cause I want to go all Kill Bill on Lindsay's Ass right now, wonder how she is going to explain her suspension without to Mel or will she just gloss over it.
Michael is so disgusting I want to slap him in the face with Lindsay's severed ego, now he wants to make nice with Hunter because he has money.
Bye Felicia!!!!!
Lindsay is not going to stop trying with the party or anything at the gallery she will be out of work before the six weeks are up?
Michael won't stop trying to get his own way either so these six weeks are going to be very interesting.
I wonder who is going to push Zee's button first this weekend at PB&Q's gathering? (My money's on Lindsay)
Author's Response:
Oh yes she's very stupid indeed, but she doesn't see it as damaging Bloom as he does't work there...sigh.
And Michael is repugnant but Jenny's all over that and then some. She's defending her brother and her mom...she's seen through them both, Michael for his machinations though nobody knows about his connection to Rita yet and for Lindz for hurting her uncles...

So most everybody is in the know now about Lindsey. Shame she's only getting a suspension though. I do however see Brian's point. Best to lay the groundwork for further destruction of the bitch. hehehe. 6 weeks suspension and now working at Campbell's. Hmm will she hook up with that slimeball now? Especially after being spoken to as she was by Sam. Or....does she already have something going with him already? Is he somehow involved with her house in toronto or is it Sam? While obviously upset by her conversation with Lydia, she left with a smile and thanked Lydia for the exchange program. Very very strange indeed. You're up to something here and I can't wait to find out what you have up your sleeve. :)
Jenny's weariness of Michael is appropriate. He's shown no interest in him up til now. Now that he's coming into some money. Nobody is going to be fooled though.
I totally sympathize with Brian regarding his back. I totally get the back pain issue. The interation with the first osteopath was pretty funny (sort of). lol. Not sure what he thought he was going to get away with. Good thing Justin reparted him after all. Can't have doc's going around doing shit like that. Mind you, faced with the chance to take a grab at Brian's ass....can't really blame his attempts. ;)
That richard Stewart guy was a hoot! Even with just casual conversation, and most likely with no knowledge, just kept negating all of Lindsey's thoughts and comments. hehehe. Her level of self importance is putting herself deeper and deeper into a massive cavern of shit! LOL, and it's so wonderful to watch! ;) All I know is that with Zee now in the know, I'm almost scared for her. She is toast!!!!!!!
Bloody brilliant chapter! Every chapter is an adventure.
till next time!
Cheers,
Elaine
Author's Response:
Thanks so much Elaine, hope the following chapter answered your questions, apart from the Toronto ones as that is going o be addressed soon.
And with Michael trying to get back to Hunter...Hunter has another champion in his corner, from the South.
Ah yes, my dad suffers badly from his back, it takes just one ill timed cough and he's yelping! I had to insert a bit of Kinney Legend in there.
Toast would imply there would be something left...no when Zee destroys she destroys utterly.

<singing in my old negro spiritual voice> Oh Lawd....Oh Lawd....OH LAWDDDD OH LAWD!! I want to turn myself into Flat McStanley and enter the story to KO that heifer!!!
But first things first: Justin..... My goodness Butch Justin is HOT!! I think if Brian wasn't so angry and in pain, he would have acknowledged it too! I love that Justin called that slimy obnoxious osteopath on his attempted molestation. I wish I could have punched the bastard in the throat myself. Well he will certainly have to answer to the Medical Review Board now and that is as it should be.
As for that asshole who has the IQ of a screw (apologies to screws everywhere since you actually serve a purpose far greater than that waste of brain cells and oxygen), I am so HAPPY that Jenny sees right through that schmuck! He as transparent as Poland Spring water but he thinks he can outslick a can of oil. It should be a crime for that chest-rat bastard to think at all since just listening to him causes a significant loss of brain cells! What a Yutz!!
Now for that Dumbastic Diva, the Queen of Mean and the Jealous Jezebel herself: Lindsay! Thank you so much for the shout out on the title. I just call it as I see it and a more Trifling Tricking Trollop there never was!! Oddly enough, a bitch like her makes Jezebel look like a nun- and that's saying a whole lot. I sooooooo wish that Brian would turn Lindsay's new boss loose on her ass but I think 6 weeks suspension without pay is going to cause her to develop a new case of Idiotitis- a dangerous case of plotting revenge with Michael Novotny. Well let her dick-chasing, trash-talking garbage mouth go on and plan because there are definitely some folks gunning for her now and it's not only Zee!! Just wait until Mel and the rest of the family gets wind of what Lindsay wagging tongue is doing and I doubt that Hunter will have to say a word. Melody, James, Sydney and Norma will definitely see that the word gets out blackballing Lindsay from anything art related and let's not forget the other pitbull blond who has developed quite an illustrious audience for his own work. As much as Zee wants to destroy the bitch, I think Justin is about three seconds from going nuclear on the Dumbasstic Duo!!

What a weekend!!!!! You were definitely busy and I must say, it was greatly appreciated. Fuck me! I have so many reactions to everything I've read.
Lindsey is in soooooooooo much shit!! I felt physically ill at the end when she mentioned Hunter's T-cell count. Miranda is going to go straight to Lydia, we all know that. Lyndsey is at strike 3 now I believe. Hell, she could be a strike 0 for all I care, I'd still fire her ass immediately. She's put herself in such a hole there's no way she's ever going to be able to dig herself out of. She's pissed because Sydney didn't mention her so she has attitude about that. She's off on her San Fran trip, with an expense account no less, (oh dear...will she charge unnecessary items?) she's shitting on people right left and centre while thinking she's somehow important in the art world. (BWAHAHA!) Then there's the house in toronto. Very curious about that. How she got it, who paid for it, who's paying for it now etc. Lucien seems to be finding things out, I'm sure he just needs to look at acouple more things and he'll have all the peices together to play out. Between him, Lydia, Zee etc, Lyndsey will be lucky to even be able to go to a gallery, let alone work in one.
thank you fro straighening out the whole divorce thing. I was a bit confused there. Like Jenny, I also thought it was Lucien and Dee and it came out of left field. glad my concern was for naught.
Should we be concerned about Michael and his knowledge of Hunter's finder's fee? I'm seriously hoping there's no way for him to try to manipulate things there. I don't trust him AT ALL! He has little to no concern at all for Hunter and that too leaves me feeling ill. I'm sure Jenny will notice his lack of concern as well and will act accordingly. As much as Jenny is trying to give the benefit of the doubt to her dad, she's fully aware of who he really is and what his behavior means. What his actions are really saying...How long before she finally cuts the ties. (In her case, the ties that bind) Will Michael actually learn anything when/if she does?
I ws going to review the weekend's chapters here, but then I'd just go on and on too much. lol. Will try to do so through out the day.
thank you so very much for keeping us so highly entertained!! I was terribly busy this weekend, and being able to take the time here and there, and just fall into this world you've created for us.
Bloody brilliant!!!!!!
Cheers,
Elaine
Author's Response:
Hi Elaine,
I have to admit I was in two minds as to make her this mean but that's exactly what she would do, her diva like behaviour in the bar in the series when Mel didn't want to fork out for the lobster and steak reminded me.
The Toronto house revelation is going to come out of left field for everyone, so I'm building up to that.
I knew the divorce comment would raise queries, but it gave Jenny the opportunity to give Mel the "permission" she needs to leave Lindsay.
You could be concerned, but remember who his daughter is and how much Hunter is loved.
Thank you so much for the continued praise and sticking with me.

Ok, aside from doing a double take every time a U.S.QAF character uses a British word or phrase (whilst) Hahaha :) this is the absolute "bestest" Lindsay/Mikey smack down fic I have ever read!!!
I usually wait until the work is complete before starting, but since I was in a smack down mood, you update daily, and I'm such a whore for a long fic, I went ahead and started reading hoping by the time I got to the end of what I'd loaded on my Kindle it would be done. Now I don't want it to end!

OH THAT BITCH!!!!!!!!!!! OH THAT BITCH! God I just want to inject myself into the story and pistol-whip that HO!! She is a cautionary tale walking!!
"How to be a Worthless Bitch Who Should Get Kicked in the Teeth 101" as taught by Lindsay Peterson:
1) Be a Tramp (preferable with a loud-mouth within the industry you work in)
2) Be a vicious Cunt if it seems to serve your purpose right then and there and to hell with the consequences.
3) Suck at your job- who cares if you are lazy and late
4) Walk around like your shit don't stink- prove that you are actually a gutter-bred bitch instead of the high-class floozy you purport to be
5) Passive-aggressive low blows are the keys to success and a way to expose your jealousy to any and all who would listen, even if you believe you are hiding it.
If she thinks to sabotage Hunter's career with her reference to his medical condition she has another think coming! I smell some SLANDER charges amongst other things coming for that low-down, conniving, skankilicious, back-stabbing, bad-mouthing, vicious, deceitful, jealous, raving whore-bitch!! I hope Marek and Miranda calls Lydia immediately to let her know what Lindsay just did. It's time for her to lose her job and be banned from every single important event within the art world for real!
I'm glad that Luc is looking into the deed transfer regarding the house in Canada. Is it possible that the house belongs to Sam? God I hope so!! It would be just one more nail in that soulless harpy's coffin.
OMG!! I want to stomp eight thousand mudholes in her flat ass!! Seriously!

Hunter fainting because he worked himself too hard was scary thankfully a weeks rest will see him back on the hunt for more artistic finds.
Justin and Brian in the gallery, Zee and Faal on the table these four are too funny.
Lindsay better enjoy this weekend cause it could be her last and she will be refunding the money she spent that wasn't for the gallery (I wouldn't put it past her to go on a little shopping trip and charge it to the expense account), she had no right to tell anyone about Hunter's t cell count, she had no right mentioning that at all!!
I am so pissed I want to pull her hair out and make her eat dirt with a rusty spoon that has sharp edges.
Who bought Lindsay a house in Canada and who is about to regret ever being born?!?!?

That house is the perfect place for Brian and Justin's wedding it has enough room for family and some guest plus it would be hard to break into lol Way To Go Jenny!!
Lindsay wants to spend Valentine's Day with Michael and Mel is she high?
So Much for at least the idea of romance she should just take whatever she bought for Lindsay and exchange it, I doubt Lindsay got Mel anything thoughtful she couldn't even pretend she wanted to spend time with Mel.
Whatever plans Lindsay comes up with will be tossed into the bin where they belong Melody wants experts not an amateurish whore who has no experience planning parties.
Lydia isn't going to like this new development when she finds out.
OMG! Hunter just found a real prize and the finders fee will be helpful for college plus it will look good for the gallery.
Lindsay can't be bothered to actually do her job so she can't be surprised that she got scooped yet again by Hunter, he is going to be one Hell of a great curator because he has a good eye for lost or unknown pieces.
Michael and Lindsay can have some more humble...I mean crumble pie it must feel like lead going down? lol
Lindsay believes she is an expert in everything but reality shows she is an expert ineptitude, San Francisco is going to hurt especially if Hunter or Martine find another prize for the gallery.
Wonder if Lindsay is going to hook up...I mean look up Sam? :)
Author's Response:
Ah yes, out of the mouths of teenagers, she's a doll to write for.
No Michael's their friend and alone, can you imagine if Mel suggested the same to her regarding Leda....kabooom!

I AM LOVING THIS STORY!!!!! OMG!!!!! Hunter is such a jewel! Lindsay continues to remain a stuck-up heifer!! And Michael is still a petulant and repugnant pain in the ass!
First things first, surely Aunt Dee and Uncle Luc are NOT getting a divorce?!!!! Please say it isn't so! I couldn't bear it since they are so well-suited and lovable. Considering how long they have been together, I think it is the absolute PERFECT venue for Brian and Justin to get married. Plus the fact that it is not at Britin and in Portland, it will also make it much more difficult for Michael and Lindsay to crash the wedding.
Secondly, I swear fo' goat cheese and clean underwear Lindsay suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder! Charles had it right when he said 'the importance is strong with that one.' The fact that she has been told, asked and pleaded with to leave the Reichmann party and all the other details alone is completely lost in her quest to prove that she is the best at something other than being a useless, scheming, tired and re-fried BITCH! Then to top it all off, she misses out on one of the most important artistic finds of a curator's career and discounts Hunter's ability in the same breath. I'm glad that Zee locked that room and that Lydia is on her way because I don't doubt that Lindsay would have done everything in her power to sabotage Hunter.
Third, what the hell did she mean to include Michael in Mel's plan for Valentine's Day?? 'He's alone and he's our friend...' I'm so glad that Mel didn't buy what Lindsay was trying to sell. There's being compassionate and then there's being cunty. Lindsay is definitely being a cunt to force her views, opinions and wishes onto Mel and not expect backlash! And if Michael had any type of decency and wasn't the selfish little troll he is, he would have bowed out of the invitation to stick around with the couple. But as always, birds of a feather... Michael and Lindsay are definitely cut from the same self-absorbed, egotistical cloth. They should just stick together AWAY from everyone else!
Fourth: I LOVED Hunter's assessment of Michael! I couldn't stop laughing picturing that pants-shitting face! Then Michael's reaction hearing how much Hunter stands to gain from finding the Kirkidan series was also priceless. I'll bet Hunter won't be the butt of any more of Michael's jokes since the young man is making more than Michael ever would or could with those bullshit toys. Somehow I think Hunter will be hit up for money to support Michael. He and Lindsay always revert to type when dollar signs are involved. It will be my pleasure to read Hunter tell him to go find a life!
Happy Writing and HUGS,

Author's Response:
Nichelle,
Ah now would I be that cruel to divorce them...
Lindsay sees only one thing, all that Lindsay wants she should mostly get, and because Hunter doesn't have the schooling or the breeding she has she belittles him at every opportunity, she may have schooling and breeding but he has the eye and that's what makes him Lydia's protege and golden urchin.
You can bet everything you own if Mel had invited Leda WWIII would've broken out.
Hunter has the measure of Michael and sadly he will see exactly how Michael sees him...all of a sudden!

Had to read it again just for the laughs :)
So Lindsay how does a wasp sting a Billionaire wasp?
Lindsay is trying to pick a fight with Zee and as usual she was unprepared to face her opponent, Zee has the kind of wealth Lindsay can only dream about even Mommy and Daddy Peterson can't take her on.
Michael should have stayed to hear that bit of news I'm sure he and Lindsay could eat humble pie together and choke on every delicious bite.
Lindsay must really want to feel Zaden Stark's very expensive and paid for with her own money Manolo Blahniks on her neck or does one wear Prada when standing on someone's neck?
It is a sad thing when you expect one or both of your parents to always lie to you every time they open their mouths, no child should consider their parents untrustworthy of their feelings.
Ben and Hunter are going to enjoy their trip Matt is very sweet to let them share this moment and I bet by the time the plane takes off they will be happy to be out of Pittsburgh for a few weeks.
Lindsay wants to help Emmett and Zee cater a party for a rich patron and Lydia is just suppose to give her time off and continue to pay her aswell?
Party planning is not apart of her job description and after the wonderful job they did for Sydney's retirement party I think they can handle a birthday party.
Lindsay can't even handle getting up for work or helping to make breakfast for Mel and the kids what help can she be at catering??
Lindsay also needs to realize that Sydney isn't going to thank someone was in and out of the gallery, brought in a little bit of business, slept with an artist in said gallery, has been gone for years and only recently come back only to take time off when it suits her, lies, is pretentious, rude, overbearing and delusional about past glory should he thank the cow for saying Moo or for chewing grass?
Now after this humiliation will Michael and Lindsay stop and just meekly follow the rules?
Hell No! Captain Asshat and Stuck-up Heifer aren't done yet and neither is their humiliation.
