The following post appears on the BeBa Instagram account on the first morning:


Warming up for my first #yogatantra practice of the morning. It's a gorgeous day here at #FyreResort! The açaí bowls at breakfast are 💯 Looking forward to getting in some spa time later, especially the chakra-balancing Rainbow Rain massage treatment. Ionized water and seven different essential oils, amazing!

You'll find Una pretty much anywhere around the resort, looking gorgeous and also looking for opportunities for a good glamorous selfie.

[kingsroads]

Una was one of the few people on this retreat that Strange actually liked. Someone else who understood the healing powers of the spiritual world and didn't try to ruin his day with things like 'scientific articles' or 'arguments' like some of these other people did? Easily his favorite person here, no question.

Naturally, when he spotted her making the most of that selfie opportunity, he decided to chat her up her. So here comes Strange, ready to ruin Una's selfie opportunity with some grade-A bullshit.

"Una! Darling. It's been ages since we saw each other last—I think it was at that meditative flow workshop?"

[una_persson]

Una, who has lined up a delightful shot with the sea in the background and the breeze in her hair just so, gets photobombed by Strange just as she takes the picture.

Well shit. She makes a little noise of frustration before turning to Strange with a big, completely convincing smile on her face. "Jonny! Oh my god, it's so good to see you! How are you doing?"

[kingsroads]

Blissfully ignorant of the fact that he totally ruined her picture, Strange gives Una a wide grin that's a little too obviously fake.

"I am doing wonderful. Profits are up, engagement is high, and I've got to say, my chakras have never felt as strong as they have while I'm at the resort." Or at least, that's what he's saying because that's the image he's got to project. Strange keeps that fake grin up as the conversation continues. "But enough about me. How are you?"

[una_persson]

"Having a delightful time," she says cheerfully. "You'll never believe who just followed Blanche and me back." A pause, then, voice lowered and very dramatic: "Chrissy Teigen!"

[kingsroads]

Strange gasps in a very dramatic fashion. "I am so happy for you!" he says, with a wide grin, trying to hide the fact that he's also a teensy bit jealous.

"And you two deserve this. You've been putting out so much good energy into the web, it only makes sense that things would swing your way!"

[una_persson]

"That's really sweet of you to say. Thank you." She smiles, all humility. "We were so happy with our last episode, and I guess it was pretty popular. The Patreon is doing so well, too!"

[kingsroads]

"You know, with all this success at your fingertips, have you considered branching out? There's so many opportunities for you and Blanche to expand your brand," says the man with metaphorical dollar signs flashing behind his eyeballs.

[una_persson]

"Well..." She glances around, nonchalant. "We've talked a little about adding nutrition to our discussions as well. Obviously a whole line of supplements is a little beyond where we are now!"

[kingsroads]

"Obviously," Strange says, with a little wave of his hand. "But if you do decide to do something like that, give me a call. I'd love to help you out or chat about nutrition."

[una_persson]

"Of course!" she beams, having only a very little intention of the kind. She looks at her phone. "Oh, goodness, must dash. It really is lovely to see you again—I'm sure I will again before the weekend's out." She leans forward to give him an air-kiss.

That afternoon there's a second post on the BeBa account:



Who are you fantasizing about this weekend? Why not let them know where you stand with one of our signature BeBa t-shirts?

Join us this weekend for our online Q&A, where we answer the question of Boxers versus Briefs once and for all. (Hint: we recommend neither!) Why #goingcommando is the ultimate way to spice up your sex life!

#BeBaBabes

Blanche can be found in the spa and by the pool for most of the weekend, living life, chatting up men, and taking fabulous selfies.

[adaptiveimmunities]

Shaun makes his way to the pool, pausing to snap a smiling selfie (CANNONBALL!! #pooltime #fyreresort) before heading to one of the chairs along the side. He's actually not in the mood to go swimming at the moment, but his mother's voice from their morning 'pep talk' is ringing in his head.

"Eighth place is completely unacceptable. We need to be number one by tonight, and that means you all need to post throughout the day. Michael--history of the area or something like that. You know how to spin it best. Shaun and Georgia--show off the resort. Shaun will take the activities, Georgia--the accommodations. Remember: we're having the most fun we've ever had in our lives.

And kids--" she'd smiled at them at this point. "If you want to break out on your own, you're going to need a good launching point. Let's make this weekend count, shall we?"

He settles himself on one of the chairs and grins when he sees Blanche Devereaux on the next one over. He doesn't really know her, but he likes her show, even if he doesn't have time for the kind of relationship she gives advice for. "Hey--enjoying the resort?"

[blancheinthesheets]

Blanche knows the young man and his famous family rather well - or rather, knows of them. She raises her fruity drink in acknowledgement. "Well hey there, honey. I am, I am."

She lowers her sunglasses. "How about yourself? Not going in the pool?"

[adaptiveimmunities]

He shrugs and drapes his towel over the back of his chair. "Probably eventually. Figured I'd take some time to warm up in the sun first. But maybe I can get people to join in a pool game later." Good publicity for everyone--they'd all benefit from each others' followers.

[blancheinthesheets]

She pushes her sunglasses back up. "Like Volleyball? A little Marco Polo?" Blanche laughs.

"Sounds like instagram will eat that right up."

[adaptiveimmunities]

"Everyone will love it," he agrees. "And it's a good look for all of us. 'Look how much fun we're all having! Don't you wish you were here too? Hashtag Fyre Resort!'" He gives her a little grin. "So what do you think? Are we going to get you in the pool too?"

[blancheinthesheets]

"So phony," Blanche sighs. She lies back on her lounger, inspecting one of her legs. Hmn. She'll have to roll over soon.

"Oh, no, no, honey," she laughs. "I don't swim. It's my job to sit here like a glorious lawn ornament."

[adaptiveimmunities]

"Yeah, but it's what we're all here for. May as well make it good, right?" He shrugs. It's not like this is an actual vacation or anything. "Maybe you can referee instead. Keep us all honest."

[blancheinthesheets]

He has a very good point, but besides all that, Blanche perks up at the idea at referring.

"Now there's a thought. I'd love to be a referee. It's been a dream of mine to boss young, half naked people around."

[adaptiveimmunities]

That gets a laugh out of him. "Well, here I am to help you realize a lifelong dream. I take it we can count on you?"

Second day of the weekend, on the BeBa Instagram:


Revitalizing milk bath at #FyreResort! Their special blend of goat and sheep milk along with essential oils and kaolin is the bomb! My skin has never been softer, which is Remember to tune in to the Belles of the Balls online Q&A later today, when we'll be discussing the virtues of #goingcommando!

[una_persson]

Day 3 Instagram post:


Going to be so sad to say goodbye to #FyreResort! I've had such a wonderful weekend here, so relaxing and rejuvenating. The yoga classes and the spa treatments are the best! And I've had such a good time reconnecting with old friends—kisses, Jonny! On our next Belles of the Balls podcast, Blanche and I will be dishing on the weekend and talking about what we've learned, so be sure to download it from Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts from! Lots of love! #blessed
