Spending that paper!
This week, New Edge Wrestling’s Ignite show was being held in New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden. So it was only natural for Blair to explore another famous New York Madison; Madison Avenue to be exact.
Madison Avenue was the legendary home to some of the absolute best shopping in New York, including Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, and Prada to name a few. There was really no way that Blair would miss it! Shopping was her addiction. But, like any addict, Blair didn’t like to “use” alone. So since her boyfriend Chris Styles was busy sparring and training for his next match at Ignite, Blair decided to invite one her newest ‘BFF,’ Darien Hacaga from NEW Lights Out on the shopping trip with her.
So after a few hours of power shopping in places from Calvin Klein to Cartier, the two of them thought it would be best to fit in a power lunch as well. So they fled to Barney’s, another fine retailer which also had a high-end eatery inside for hungry shoppers called “Fred’s.”
After being led to a table inside of the restaurant, Blair slid her Christian Louboutin shopping bags next to her Christian Louboutin heels and sat down. Across from her was Darien, who was smartly dressed in a loose fitting army green hooded thermal shirt with the sleeves rolled up at the elbow, snug fitting tight black wax coated jeans and a pair of gunmetal grey combat boots with the laces untied at the top.
Blair was outfitted in a simple white men’s button up shirt that ended high on her very long legs and had the sleeves rolled up, and a pair of simple black high heeled stilettos with red bottoms (the signature of Christian Louboutin.)
The fashionable friends hungrily dined on spaghetti with pesto and white wine until Blair finally broke their silence after dabbing her mouth with a cloth napkin.
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “Okay so seriously what is wrong with you? You barely dropped a grand at Cavalli and that’s not easy to do.”
Darien pouted while pushing his pasta around the place with a fork before looking up at Blair and sighing.
Darien Hacaga: “Well...I didn’t want to say anything but..something pretty traumatic happened to me recently and I’m not sure how to get over it.”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “Oh my God I can’t believe you let me go on and on all day like a moron about my stupid fashion line…”
Darien Hacaga: “No, it’s fine. I love hearing about it. Southern Hospitality is going to be great!”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “Okay so what happened?”
Darien Hacaga: “Well...okay….remember yesterday when I tweeted you about being bored but you were on your way here so you couldn’t hang out and then you told me to go get something waxed instead?”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “Uh huh….?” Blair said suddenly as she stopped chewing her food.
Darien Hacaga: “So...I followed your advice and I went to this new place i’ve never been before….and she took everything off. EVERYTHING. It feels unnatural. I feel like Mister Bigglesworth from Austin Powers. You don’t understand. I’m from Mexico...we’re all born with public hair down there!”
With that, Blair dropped her fork onto the plate before picking up her napkin and spitting the contents of her mouth into it. Balling the napkin of Pesto Mush up into a ball, Blair placed it on the plate and called for a bus boy to clear their table. Once he did, Blair cleared her throat and changed the subject quicker than Ryan Pugh when asked about his World Title loss to Molly Mayhem.
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “So speaking of advice, I kind of need yours on a few things. You being Mr.Motivational speaker and all...”
Darien Hacaga: “Alright...well, then...shoot.”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “Alright, so...i’ve filled you in a little on whats been going on lately...do you think I over reacted when I found out about mama’s engagement to Tegan’s dad?”
Darien Hacaga: “Well...not really. Do you?”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “Kind of and here’s why: I don’t really give a shit who mama dates or marries. She once married this former NEW wrestler Chris Shields who was a total lush...like, the dude made me and you look like we’re straight edge. Still, I didn’t bat an eyelash. Even when they tried to shake me down for money...but the thing is, mama has been giving me shit for weeks about dating Chris Styles and then she runs off and gets engaged to my future opponent after what? A month? Seems a little hypocritical y’know?”
Darien Hacaga: “Well you have your answer. Maybe you should try explaining that to Denise.”
Blair scoffed.
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “Yeah right. Have you met that woman? Not exactly the most compassionate person.”
Darien Hacaga: “I find that sometimes the people with the toughest shells are often the softest on the inside.”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “Wise words, Mr.Miyagi...okay so lets shelf that for a moment because the other thing I wanted to ask you about was my match this week. Do you think I should be more focused? I mean, take my boyfriend Chris for example. He’s in the gym day and night getting ready for his match and here I am shopping and having ‘girl talk’ with you.”
Darien Hacaga: “Well, that all depends. Who are you facing and is this an important match?”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “See thats the thing. I don’t really consider it important but some might. See, i’m facing Tristan Ambrose right?”
Darien Hacaga: “Who?”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “Right. He’s this guy who had a little bit of heat last year and even won the World Title but lost it very quickly like me.”
Darien Hacaga: “How quickly?”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “I held it for two weeks and he held his for one.”
Darien Hacaga: “So that’s what they mean by Paper Champion then?”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “Apparently...so I guess this is the match to find out who is the better Paper Champion? But the thing is, I don’t see it that way. For one thing, I was just happy to win the title to say I did it because that in itself was an accomplishment that not everybody has. Not no mention, NOBODY thought I could do it.”
Darien Hacaga: “You stay proving people wrong though.”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “It’s kind of my thing. Anyway, I didn’t think it was a big deal when I lost the title especially considering I was never pinned for it. I just kept it going and yet again reinvented myself. Now...Tristan on the other hand...after he lost the World Title in Terrordome, a match that some people also never thought i’d be in, he kind of went into a funk. The guy basically disappeared..like totally off the grid. Up until a few weeks ago nobody knew what happened to the guy.”
Darien Hacaga: “...and now he’s back and you guys are facing each other once again.”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “Right...and some might argue that I even cost him the match because he and I had a slight interaction that led to us falling from the top of the terrordome and being eliminated from the match. That may be a source of animosity toward me...but i dont really see it that way. Plus, my match for the Heartland Title at Justice is set. Tristan’s future? Not so much. So really, he needs this match more than I do.”
Darien Hacaga: “Haha..ouch.”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “Oh well. It IS a No Holds Barred match.”
Darien Hacaga: “Oh is that right?”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “Yup...I guess the silver lining this week is at least if I need to cheat to win, nobody can say anything about it.”
Darien Hacaga: “Okay so you say this is an important match for him but because you have your match at Justice, it’s not really that big of a deal to you right?”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “Correct!”
Darien Hacaga: “Well has he even come out and said anything about it?”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “Not so much.”
Darien Hacaga: “Ok well in that case I think you should always be prepared, but on the other hand...you should give this match as much thought as Tristan did before leaving NEW after Terrordome.”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “Very little.”
Darien Hacaga: “If any.”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “How’d you get to be so smart? C’mon doll i’m gonna buy you something pretty.”
Darien Hacaga: “Oooh! Can we stop into Armani in that case?”
Blair Buchannan-Valentyne: “Of course dahhhhling! But first we need to make a quick pit stop at La Perla. I need to pick something up for tonight when I see Chris.”
Darien Hacaga: “Why would you get your boyfriend something from a lingerie store?...Ohhhhh nevermind I get it.”
With that, the two stood up from their table and gathered their bags. Soon they were off for another few hours of marathon shopping before heading from Madison Avenue to Madison Square Garden. That’s how it goes though: From wallets to wrestling. For it was Blair’s own personal philosophy that if she was going to compete in a match to prove that she was the BEST of the Paper Champions...well….then she’d have to spend a little paper in the process.
XOXO
#ooc: thanks to Darien Hacaga for letting me use your character. Hope I did him some justice!
