a killer queen like a young jane fonda

Okay, I’m back from my little unplanned vacation and ready to get back to work, that said, now that I’m going to be pursuing my influencer dreams (can you sense the sarcasm), anyone have any tips and tricks for a newbie?

Develop a thick skin and an awareness to every word that comes out of your mouth. Learn to roll with the punches. You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into, and there’s no way to prepare for it. It’s both wonderful and terrible. Good luck.

This is LA, why is it so damn hard to get a good vegetarian meal around here? I don’t want to walk into a goddamn restaurant and the only thing remotely vegetarian is the caesar salad without the dressing. I may be pescatarian but sometimes a guy just wants a timeout from all the seafood.

I can’t speak for the vegetarian side because I barely go a day without eating meat, but I’ve never been very impressed by the restaurants in LA. There’s a couple small local places I like, mostly cafes. San Diego has better places, in my opinion. Only if you’re ever in the area though. It’s not worth the traffic otherwise.

You never know, Quinnie. Maybe combined together, you and I are just a carbon copy of mother dearest~ Don’t let her hear you say such heartbreaking things though. 

Now that is something I can agree with. If we were one person we would’ve been the perfect daughter. What a shame.

Then that’s clearly something you take better from mother than I. My little sister outshining me, it’s been a long time coming~ 

I mean, if I have to inherit something from our mother I’m glad it’s something that I can take advantage of. Hopefully that’s where the similarities end.

It's not secret that Quinn isn't a virgin, but if any of her more naive viewers or extended relatives want to believe that she was "born again," she isn't exactly complaining. She lost her virginity as a teenager under the pressure of alcohol and insecurity and the status quo. She also wanted to, but Quinn generally preferred to ignore that part of the equation. Her view on sex was warped by unrealistic expectations, and she spent a lot of time pondering whether or not she would've lost her virginity on a bed covered in rose petals if she had waited until she was married. Was the couch in someone's basement her punishment for breaking her promise?

Because ignoring things don’t make them go away, Quinnie.

Have you ever actually tried it though? Because it’s always worked great for me.

One could likely say the same about you. 

Perfect. That’s generally what I’m going for.

Sounding like our mother is one of those things that I try not to but it slips in nonetheless. The past is what it is, I’m sure if you put your mind to it, you can manage to replace all of those terrible memories~

I have replaced them. They’re replaced. I’m generally happy and for someone living in California, I feel like I’m fairly successful. So I just don’t see what’s wrong with choosing to ignore what happened before.

Who you were is part of who you are. Your growth as a person could inspire someone else who’s dealing with a not so perfect past. Plus, if you own it, you can’t be exploited by it.

As the kids on the internet say: thanks, I hate it. I genuinely appreciate the advice, but I’m going to pass on that one. I think my content speaks for itself. There’s no need for the personal drama.

I purposely post my older stuff on YouTube. Young me was kind of adorable? I dunno. feel like I’m cringier now TBH. 

That’s.. unfortunate, I guess. But at least you know how to play to your weaknesses.

I’m going live tomorrow night, and for those of you who’ve never tuned into my livestreams before..I’m sorry. I get impressiony when I get anxious, but we always manage to have a good time. If you have questions you want to ask me, feel free to send them my way and if any of my fellow influencers want to drop in, play a drinking game or two, or try out some impressions or covers, hit me up, I’m always open to having company.

I would say I’d tune in or offer my services, but I think I’d be completely lost. On screen drinking games aren't really my thing, and unless you’re doing impressions of the Real Housewives, I’m not sure I would get the references.  But I will consider adding any covers to my IHQ YouTube playlist.

High school was hard for many but it doesn’t erase all the things you’ve accomplished~ Just think about all the greatness we were expected and was able to achieve.

The optimism is totally appreciated, but it does make you sound like our mother. Every time I accomplished something in high school, I found a way to screw it up. I don’t think it’s that unreasonable to want to forget it.

I’m just living under the assumption it got lost in the Myspace data fail that happened a little while ago? I doubt anything I had on there is exploitable, but yeah, definitely don’t need it.

Yeah, I can’t see you being the type to have some dark past hidden on the internet. Still never hurts to double check though.

What’s a good #TBT if you don’t own and poke a little fun at your younger, foolish self?

Making fun of myself on the internet doesn’t sound like something I would enjoy doing. I walk on the line between making a shady joke about myself once a year and taking myself all too seriously.

Does that play pretend include pretending I don’t exist? Because I love to think back fondly to your teenager years whenever I get the chance~ You were such a cute little baby.

Don’t worry. If I were pretending members of my family didn’t exist, you would be nowhere near the top of the list. I was a very cute baby. It’s just the middle part I’d like to cut out. Maybe ten years old to nineteen years old? I could live without those.
