Everyone has a story, here’s his:

Akira was born in Okinawa, Japan to 17-year-old Yua Tanaka. Because of the pregnancy and her wishing to keep her son the family disowned her and left her on the streets to care for her baby. For many years she struggled and often was starving but always ensuring Akira was well taken care of. Eventually, she managed to get them a small run-down single-room apartment. Because of the circumstances of how he was being brought up he was often bullied and teased for being poor and for his mother being a sex worker. She typically kept that part of her life away from him the best she could, so during the day she worked in a supermarket, and nights she was a sex worker. The bullying became worse when he came out as bisexual and expressing an interest in men as well as women. Luckily his mother accepted this and supported him. When Akira was 17, one weekend he was working in a restaurant to help earn money to help his mother out. While he was away she brought a man home, a frequent client. She was brutally murdered, he was unhappy that the woman had other clients as well he was obsessed with her. Nothing was stolen, from the home. When Akira came home he, unfortunately, discovered her body and it took support and assistance from his teachers and boss to help fund the cremation. Akira moved to Tokyo with the urn that held his mother's ashes and there was instant interest in having the teen as a model. He made good money and had a decent home, he even took on learning English. When he turned 21 he moved to the United States, to New Orleans continues to be a male model.

TWITTER THREAD: @allthechaos: Super excited to be performing at @HOBNOLA tonight! Come check me out.  @allthechaos: I only drink wine, whiskey, or water. Nothing else.

Everyone has a story, here’s hers:

The product of teenage carelessness, Stassi was born to high school dropouts, Aaron Kent and Iris Valois, on October 23, 1994. Residing in a rundown trailer park on the eastside of Detroit provided a less than stable childhood for Stassi, who constantly bore witness to the atrocities of gang violence, drug use, and poverty. Her home life was also fraught with chaos, as both parents struggled with alcohol and substance abuse. There were even nights when her parents didn't bother to come home at all. This lack of basic parental supervision forced Stassi to mature far beyond her young age, as it meant her very survival. Shortly before her ninth birthday, CPS took control of the situation by removing Stassi from her parents' care and placing her in foster care. After six months of her mother jumping through every hoop the court demanded, Stassi was finally allowed to return home. Not wanting to lose her daughter again, Iris packed up their station wagon and moved them to Cleveland, Ohio, where they moved in with Stassi's strict grandmother. Preferring Detriot over Cleveland, Aaron opted to stay behind, but made sure to keep in contact with his daughter throughout the years. Now provided with just a bit more stability in her grandmother's home, Stassi started to attend school on a regular basis and also began to express herself through music and poetry. During her freshman year of high school, she met Carter Sinclair—the two instantly bonded over their love of music and equally hectic home lives. They soon became inseparable, but their relationship was far from perfect. Their arguments often became physical, and yet, they couldn't seem to walk away from each other. Shortly after graduation and while Carter was on tour, Stassi learned she was pregnant with his child. Wanting a better life for her baby, she left Carter and began to work on her future. A few years later, her collection of poetry was published and soon became a New York Times Bestseller. She now resides in New Orleans where she and Carter continue to co-parent. Though she’s by no means famous in the music industry, Stassi often performs in nightclubs and bars within New Orleans.

Everyone has a story, here’s his:

Carter Sinclair was born on April 22, 1990, in Cleveland, Ohio. Jeffery and Elizabeth Sinclair weren’t ideal parents by any stretch of the imagination. When he was a few months old, his father had tried to poison him by putting a minuscule amount of chemicals in his bottle. He had barely survived and this wasn’t the first time he had to fight for his life in just a few months. When he was born, his umbilical cord had wrapped around his neck and it took the doctors a bit to get him free. As he grew up his mother left him when he was nine years old without a word, which his father blamed him for. Throughout his life growing up, he always had a love of writing music and performing wherever and whenever he could. As he was always labeled by everyone as a troublemaker or more along the lines of a misfit, he made sure to live up to those names. Jail stints on more than one occasion had driven his aunt nuts after Carter left his father’s house at the age of eleven. Drugs, drinking, and women were the things he lived for up until he had his daughter. As the years went on he worked his ass off to get his career started and with that determination, he has now become one of the biggest musicians around. He finds himself living in New Orleans sharing custody of his daughter with her mother doing his best to continue living his best life….but he can’t escape the demons that are deep within his soul.

TWITTER THREAD: @briles: Everyday I put a lil effort in to not being a crazy bitch. @briles: think about this shit.. you can’t save anyone’s life, but you can delay their death.

Everyone has a story, here’s hers:

Blake Elizabeth Day now Riley was the third child of Charles and Felicity Day born in the month of May and she seemed to be your average girl next door from California living with both parents and two older brothers. Behind closed doors was another story. Her mother and father both fought often, almost all day everyday if they were around one another, which caused Blakes mom to heavily drink, breaking their family more and more apart. During these years Blake was mainly taken care of by her twin brothers Ian and Phillip since she was only a small child. As the years went on Blake became withdrawn from the world and people around her and made herself more independent since her brothers were always gone doing sports and she had nobody to be around. When Blake hit junior high age her brothers were in their last year of highschool, which meant they'd be leaving after that summer for college and it made her spiral into a depressive state since her father and mother were still fighting and the drinking now took over both parents lives. it wasn't until the night before her brothers graduated that both boys came home around 10pm drunk and picked a fight with their parents over the young female saying they needed to step up for her sake, which ended up with one of the boys having a nice red hand print on their cheek from their father. Following the altercation the boys went to sleep, their room across the hall from Blakes which they woke up to the feeling of someone shaking her violently to wake up. She was then pushed out a window to her shed. (this part will be hidden from bio)-- It was her brother Ian who got her out and she fought him to stay but she ultimately lost it. She lost it all. But when questioned she told the police that she heard her father screaming from their room to get out but she probably was the only one to hear it. Growing up now bouncing around a few forester homes she kept setting small fires to ares and places before almost being found out causing her to move to her new home where she lived alone.-- After moving to town people would think a young Blake wouldn't be able to fend for herself but thankfully she not only got money her parents set up for her in the event they died, but she also got her brothers, Ian and Phillips money. She was a young almost millionaire who hid her money well. How she was able to start her online clothing line BORN DEAD, which is very small but makes her happy. She was smart and invested almost all her money and didn't even use it for hotels when leaving Montana, only cash paid bus tickets. Being 25 now and living in a new town and city, she ended up buying a vacant small building where the main floor that people can walk into is just where she makes her own clothes, its filled with boxes of shipment, large metal racks with clothes folded on it, a clothing printing press and much more. But, when you venture down the hallway and down a set of stairs there is where Blakes true work takes place. Blake is a mortician. She embalms bodies, gets the ready for services, and sometimes figures out what killed this person and submits it to whoever was in need of this information.

Lorenzo was born to James and Roberta Romano in May during a hurricane. He came out with his cord wrapped around his neck, face blue. After several moments of panic his first cry rang through the air. As a child, he was relatively normal and lived a normal life. His home life was nothing out of the ordinary. Both parents worked hard to provide the best life for their son. As a teenager, Enzo found a passion for music. Producing and writing his deepest most thoughts and feelings. At the age of 16 he entered a song writing contest and won. The summer before his senior year, he'd been offered a recording contract. Much against his parents disapproval, he dropped out of high school and moved across the country to pursue his dreams. Now, almost ten years later, many records and tours under his belt, Enzo has returned home to help his mother make arrangements for his fathers funeral. It is once there he makes the choice to start up his own record label.

Everyone has a story, here’s hers:

Marlowe grew up as an only child in a picture perfect family with a nice house, a dog and a white picket fence just outside of San Francisco - or at least that’s what she would tell you. And some if it was true but her family was far from picture perfect on the inside. Her father worked as a Hedgefonds manager while her mother was a stay at home mom who took care of Marlowe until the point when she fell ill. With her father being out of the house most of the day and her mother only lying on the couch, nine-year-old Marlowe didn’t understand what her mother was going through when she told her she wanted her old mommy back and she didn’t like how she was lately. Several hours after her outburst, she found a note pushed through underneath her parents’ closed bedroom door. “Call 911. I love you, Mar.“. That day, her mother’s depression took her life. After that, things went downhill - with her mother gone, his father turned to alcohol while the young girl had to deal with the fact that it was her fault that her mother was gone on her own. Years later when Marlowe was 19 years old, her father took his own life as well to be with the love of his life and Marlowe was once again left to fend for herself. She sold her family house and with the money her parents left her, she went on a trip to find herself and traveled the world, only returning to the US two years ago after staying here and there.

What happened on the trip is something the young woman doesn’t speak of to this day but it wasn’t pretty. However as of late her past and her worst nightmare is catching up with her and is following her every step of the way. So instead of staying in California, she boarded the next best flight and arrived in New Orleans where she hopes to escape her past and start again, doing the one thing she loves most: photography. Just don’t let anyone steal that camera of hers though

Everyone has a story, here’s his:

Born to a young couple, Nicholas pretty much had to learn how to take care of himself from the start. His father left shortly after his younger brother Joey was born leaving them with nothing. There was hardly any money coming into the home, despite the long hours his mother “worked” in the night. It was surprising that she hadn’t received an eviction notice yet. Most nights as a child, Nic spent home alone with his brother and the occasional sitter, watching cartoons, oblivious to reality. This was his normal. In the mornings he would wake up, his mom would already be in her bed, or walking through the door with some kind of toy for the two boys. However, that all changed when he was seven years old. He woke one morning to a loud thud outside the front door, horrified when he discovered his mom lying there on the ground, her lips a blue tint, eyes glazed over, her body motionless. His only other sight was that of a dark sedan making a quick escape. When the ambulance arrived, she was pronounced dead, and his life quickly turned upside down. Nic and his brother were soon placed in the care of his father, who wasn’t too thrilled about their arrival to say the least. The guy had it made without his children and now that had all been ruined. In all honesty, the two young boys probably would have been better off in the system with the hell they went through growing up. Their father had a sick sense of humor and a short-fused temper. Any time questions were asked there was always an excuse to cover the damage and people fell for it again and again. It didn’t take long before Nic developed a vengeful mentality, praying the day would come that he got to give his dad what he deserved. Meanwhile, his younger brother started to fall off the tracks, his group of friends causing nothing but trouble. Nic found himself helping Joey out of sticky situations more often than not and soon his luck would run out. His brother’s death came as an absolute shock, never thinking the day would come where he would outlive his baby brother. It took a toll on Nic mentally and physically. He couldn’t eat or sleep for weeks, his mind consumed with the darkest of thoughts and whether or not he was next. He needed to get away from his life in New Orleans before whoever was after his brother started to go after him. That’s when he found himself in the city of Houston. Instantly he felt like he was somewhere he could call home, even if it were temporary. However, he found himself missing his old home, the people he used to know and love. After almost two years it had to have been enough time for things to blow over. Mustering up the courage, he packed his bags and headed back to his hometown, settling in the Warehouse District. It’s been another two years and so far no one’s tried to kill him yet, his life has remained mostly peaceful.

Please allow us to introduce you to CORINNE CLARK. The 25 year old currently resides in FRENCH QUARTER and holds a job as the OWNER & FLORIST @ THE GREEN ROOM. Some describe her as DETERMINED & RESOURCEFUL, while others tend to think she’s JEALOUS & IMPATIENT. We’ll let you decide! TWITTER THREAD:  @lovexnebula: fresh stock of sunflowers came in today! come on by @thegreenroom to place your order before we’re sold out! @lovexnebula: someone meet me at the skyline bar for drinks?! Everyone has a story, here’s hers:

You would think that a child who was raised by two devout, God-fearing Christians would experience a… less than traumatizing childhood. Unfortunately for Corinne Clark, that was never the case. The younger of two siblings, Corinne constantly walked in the suffocating shadow of her older brother, Cooper. The golden child. He was her parent’s favorite, and there wasn’t a millisecond of her life that they ever let her forget that. The stress and isolation from being the black sheep of the family eventually encouraged the young girl to act out - after all, if she couldn’t receive praise, at least she still had their attention when she was defying them. She carried on this way for a couple of years until things took an unforeseen turn at age 15 when they caught her smoking pot in their basement. Instead of grounding her as they normally did, Corinne’s parents made a life-altering decision; they sent her to a Christian reform school in the foothills of the Tennessee mountains, hopeful that the religious program would “straighten her out.” She was promised the privilege of returning home when she learned to follow their (ridiculous) rules - which ultimately just meant conforming to their obsessive enthusiasm to be “god-like.” However, they never imagined that the place they were sending their daughter, the place they so desperately sought help from, was a cult operating under the guise of an all girl reform school. But the Zephaniah House was just that. It didn’t take her long to figure it out, either and every chance she got, she desperately tried to write her parents and Cooper to explain what was going on - but to no avail. Nobody believed her. They all said she was just looking for a way to come home. For three years, Corinne remained trapped states away from her parents, receiving a daily onslaught of abuse. The only positive outcome of being there was that she learned to garden and fell in love with flowers - which would later become her livelihood. Any free time she had was spent in the dirt, planting and growing, and she has only just realized that doing so was her saving grace. At 18, she had a choice; stay at the Zephaniah House and join as one of the wives or leave with nowhere to go, and no way to get there, anyway. So, she left. Hit the ground running. Got the hell outta dodge. Even with the broken mental state that her time there resulted in, Corinne knew there was no way she could stay. She hitch-hiked from Tennessee all the way back to New Orleans - without dying - which resulted in an old friendship being rekindled with a former classmate, Nic, who still lived in the area. He offered to let her stay with him until she could get on her feet. One thing led to another, and eventually, they began dating. Corinne managed to start her own business, and with the funds she made from bartending, she eventually opened her own floral shop - The Green Room. After nearly two years, her boyfriend's bestfriend revealed that Corinne was being cheated on. It was a devastating heartbreak for her, but she immediately broke things off and moved into her own apartment in the French Quarter. She’s had zero contact with her family, despite her mother’s desperate pleas for some form of communication. Instead, she busies herself with work and friends and surviving the tumultuous day to day shit show that is her life.
