The Misadventures of Meghan (Chapter 2): “‘Net Losses” (Patreon)

For a while, Meghan was TikTok famous.  Tens of thousands of people viewed her daily posts about food, fashion, and fitness.  Her followers found her ditzy but endearing, and, unlike most of the gold coast's glittery mirage, she seemed genuine.  Well, apart from her bottle-blonde highlights.

Unfortunately, as Meghan lost weight she also lost most of her audience.  Those who loved her as a quirky chubster, couldn't relate to the total sexpot she was becoming--even though it was "just her body reverting to its natural state" (according to Meghan).

Although Meghan was stung by the online abandonment, she once again enjoyed the real-life perks and privileges of being a hottie.  "When one door closes, another opens," her Midwestern Meemaw had often said, and, with Meghan's body, very few stayed closed for long...unless someone's wife or girlfriend happened to answer.  She wasn't a slut and she wasn't stupid, as many wrongly assumed, but she had no problem playing the field or playing dumb if the end result was a good time or a rent payment.

Of course, even NBA players, of which Meghan dated several, eventually want an investment that pays off more than puts out, and since Meghan wasn't ready for marriage or even a steady relationship (Brad had left a bad taste in her mouth that went beyond the junk food he fed her), the gravy train would inevitably derail.  Indeed, the following September, when promised fiduciary support from a Lakers player failed to materialize by the end of the month, it began to look like more than just the weather was headed for a fall.

They say you can't go home again.  It's a warning Meghan should have heeded.

(Nota Bene: Sorry about Meghan's weight loss in this chapter.  It's temporary, I promise!)
