- YOU WANT TO TRY IT AGAIN?
- I BEG YOUR PUNCH.

- YOU HAVE TO
WATCH YOUR LINE.

YOU'RE GONNA MESS UP
THE WHOLE THING.

- OKAY, GUYS, I'VE
DECIDED TO DO "PLAYBOY."

- MEN BE TRIPPIN' OUT ABOUT
STUFF LIKE THAT, TONI.

THAT IS THE TRUTH.
- IT'S "PLAYBOY."

- THIS COULD
BE MY SISTER.

THIS COULD BE ON
THE BATHROOM WALL.

- AND THIS WOMAN'S VAGINA IS
ALL THE WAY DOWN TO HER SHINS.

- OOH!

- SHE ROLLIN' HER BELLY
WITH A BABY IN IT.

WHO DOES THAT?!

THIS WOULD BE THE AREA,
I THINK, THAT WE NEED,

BECAUSE OF RACY PHOTOS
THAT SHE NEEDS TO TAKE.

- WHAT THE HELL
IS YOU THINKIN'?

I'M SITTING AROUND WITH
MY SISTERS AND WAITING

FOR TAMIE TO
COME, TA-MONSTER.

AND SHE COMES AS SHE
USUALLY DOES, LATE,

AND STIRS UP TROUBLE.
- HEY, TA.

- HI, TA.

- I AM REALLY CONSIDERING DOING
"PLAYBOY" AND, OF COURSE,

TAMAR HAS
AN OPINION ABOUT IT.

- WHAT'S UP WITH
THE WHAT'S UP?

BEFORE I WENT OVER THERE, I
DECIDED TO STOP BY THE STORE

AND GET TONI
A LITTLE PRESENT.

WELL, I STOPPED BY
THE STORE ON MY WAY HERE.

- A BOOKSTORE?

- I READ MAGAZINE.

- "PEOPLE."

- "VOGUE--" "COSMOPOLITAN."

AND I WAS READIN'
MAGAZINES AND STUFF,

AND I THOUGHT
ABOUT YOU.

- ABOUT ME?
- YES.

- WHAT DID YOU THINK?
- BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS SO DOWN

AND COOL WITH YOU
DOING THIS "PLAYBOY,"

AND I SAID,
"YOU KNOW WHAT?

"LET ME SHOW TONI WHAT
SHE WOULD LOOK LIKE."

- THINK I'D
LOOK HOT.

- NO.

- TAMAR WILL NOT LET GO
OF THIS "PLAYBOY" THING.

IT'S GETTING' WEIRD.

IT'S NOT HER
DECISION TO MAKE.

- DON'T DO IT--
DON'T DO IT.

- DON'T DO WHAT?
- THAT'S A CUTE PICTURE.

- [indistinct]

- THAT'S REALLY PRETTY--
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS?

- WHAT?
- ONCE YOU DO STUFF LIKE THAT,

THAT BEAUTIFULNESS
TURNS INTO THAT!

- THAT'S DIFFERENT
FROM THIS.

- YES, IT DOES--
THIS COULD BE YOU.

GIVE THIS TO DENHAM.

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN
GIVE IT TO DENHAM?

- LET ME TELL YOU WHAT
THEY'RE GONNA DO,

AND WHEN THEY
IN SCHOOL.

THIS YOUR MOMMA?

- THEY GO TO PRIVATE SCHOOL--
THEY DON'T PLAY THAT.

- THEY WENT TO PRIVATE SCHOOL--
GIRL, IT DON'T MATTER.

BOYS ARE BOYS.

IT DOES NOT MAKE
ANY DIFFERENCE.

THEY'LL TALK ABOUT
HER REGARDLESS.

- I THINK IF IT IS
TASTEFULLY DONE,

THEN I THINK IT'S
GORGEOUS AND BEAUTIFUL.

I WOULD TOTALLY
POSE FOR "PLAYBOY."

ARE YOU KIDDING?

IF IT'S TASTEFULLY DONE,
I HAVE NO PROBLEM POSIN'

FOR PICTURES IN
THE NUDE, HONEY.

BOOM--
THIS IS NOT DISTASTEFUL.

- WHAT'S DISTASTEFUL
ABOUT THIS?

- THAT ISN'T THAT.

- FIRST OF ALL, I'M NOT
POSING FOR THIS MAGAZINE.

I WOULD NEVER DO
A FRONTAL SPREAD.

- NOBODY WANTS TO SEE
THEIR MOMMA IN THIS SHOT.

TONI IS NOT
LISTENING AS USUAL.

SHE HAS KIDS.

THEY NEED TO CALL SOMEBODY
WHO IS NOT SOMEBODY'S MOMMA.

THIS COULD BE ON
THE BATHROOM WALL

OF SOME 15-YEAR-OLD
BOY'S BEDROOM.

I'M JUST SAYING, YOU--
I DON'T THINK YOU WANT THAT.

- I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM
BEING A MILF.

- I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM
BEING A MILF, EITHER.

- DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
BEING A MILF?

DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
BEING A MILF?

TRACI, WOULD YOU HAVE
A PROBLEM BEING A MILF?

- I JUST DON'T WANT
MY BOOBIES TO SHOW.

TONI THINKS
SHE'S ALL THAT,

'CAUSE SHE GETS
CALLED FOR "PLAYBOY."

THAT'S ONE MORE
THING SHE GETS

BECAUSE SHE'S
THE SUPERSTAR.

I LOVE YOU, TONI.

WHATEVER.

I JUST SAW THIS,
AND THIS WOMAN'S VAGINA

IS ALL THE WAY
DOWN TO HER SHINS.

- LET ME TELL YOU, MY VAGINA
IS NOT DOWN TO MY SHINS.

I'M NOT SHOWING
MY VAJAY-JAY.

- BUT, T, WHAT I'M SAYING--
- I'M NOT SHOWING IT.

- BUT, T AT THE VERY LEAST, I
JUST WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT IT.

- REGARDLESS OF IF YOU DO IT
OR NOT, I SUPPORT YOU 100%.

THAT'S ALL
I HAVE TO SAY.

- ME, TOO.

- I THINK THAT TONI
SHOULD DO "PLAYBOY."

IT'S NOT LIKE SOMEBODY ASKED
HER TO DO "PLAYBOY" EVERY DAY.

HECK, I WISH THEY'D
ASK ME TO DO "PLAYBOY."

I'D SHOW
A LITTLE T&A.

- I'M JUST SAYING THAT I THINK
YOUR ANSWER SHOULD BE "NO."

- IF THEY HAD ASKED
YOU, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

I JUST WANNA KNOW, IF THEY
ASKED YOU, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

- IF THEY ASKED ME,
WHAT WOULD I DO?

- MM-HMM.
- I WOULDN'T DO IT.

I DO HAVE
A HUSBAND.

AND MY HUSBAND'S
NOT GOING FOR THAT.

HE'S NOT-- NO, NO, NO,
NOT MINE.

- WELL, SOME HUSBANDS
GONNA SAY "YES."

- RIGHT-- I KNOW.
- AND I'M SEPARATED.

- I DIDN'T GO TO THE BOOKSTORE
TO COME HERE AND DEGRADE YOU,

HOWEVER, WHEN I RAN
INTO THE MAGAZINE,

AND I SAID, "THIS
COULD BE MY SISTER."

- YOU-- YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT IT TOO MUCH.

- I DON'T THINK THAT
SHE SHOULD DO IT.

- OKAY, NOW TAMAR IS
PROTESTING WAY TOO MUCH.

I DON'T LIKE TO SAY
THE WORD "JEALOUS."

I'M GONNA
SAY "EAGER."

MAYBE SHE'S A LITTLE
EAGAR AND DISAPPOINTED

THAT THEY DIDN'T
CALL HER.

THAT'S ALL I
HAVE TO SAY.

I'LL-I'LL MAKE
THE DECISION.

I'LL CONSIDER ALL
THE THINGS, MY KIDS,

AND WHAT I WANNA DO, BUT
I'M JUST REALLY FLATTERED

THAT THEY ASKED.

- I'M HAVING BRUNCH
WITH MY SISTERS,

AND WE DECIDED
TO TAKE MOMMY

BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN FEELING A
LITTLE DOWN IN THE DUMPS LATELY.

SO WE DECIDED
TO REMEDY THAT.

- SO, YOU SAID YOU'VE BEEN
HERE BEFORE ON A DATE?

- YEAH.

I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE...
A FEW YEARS AGO.

- WHAT YOU DOING
COMING HERE?

- GIRL, LOOK, JUST BECAUSE
I DON'T TELL YOU GUYS

DOESN'T MEAN THAT
I DON'T GO OUT.

- WELL, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU REALLY BEEN OUT ON A DATE?

- MAYBE FIVE,
SIX YEARS AGO, MAYBE.

- MOMMY IS IN HER 60s.

SHE'S BEEN DIVORCED
FOR OVER TEN YEARS.

NOW IT'S TIME FOR HER TO
GET IN THE SWING OF THINGS.

SO, I'M GONNA CALL
A MATCHMAKER.

YOU NEED TO START
DATIN', THAT'S ALL.

YOU JUST NEED
TO START DATIN'.

- TOWANDA, AND THE GIRLS,
THEY WANTED TO SET ME UP

WITH A BLIND DATE.

I'VE NEVER BEEN ON
A BLIND DATE AT ALL.

BUT IT COULD BE
INTERESTING.

- WHAT KIND OF GUYS ARE
YOU LOOKIN' FOR NOW?

- THERE'S A LOT OF MEN
THAT WALK LIKE DENZEL.

- MOMMY, DO YOU KNOW
HOW DIFFICULT THAT IS

GONNA FIND SOMEBODY WHO
WALKS LIKE DENZEL?

- THIS SAUVEÉ, THIS SAUVE,
A LITTLE SWAG--

- GIVE MOM A LITTLE SWAGGER.
- YEAH.

- NO, SHE'S SAYING SHE
WANTS TO BE A COUGAR.

- A COUGAR--
I NEVER SAID THAT.

I DIDN'T SAY I WANTED
TO BE A COUGAR.

- AIN'T NOTHING'
WRONG WITH IT.

- THERE'S NOTHIN'
WRONG WITH THAT.

- I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT A COUGAR,

BUT MAYBE
A SABER-TOOTHED TIGER.

RRRRRR!

- HOW YOUNG
IS TOO YOUNG?

- FIFTY IS
TOO YOUNG.

- WHAT?
- NO!

MOMMY, 50 MAKE
YOUR BACK CRACK.

- I DON'T WANT
MY BACK TO CRACK.

I DON'T
WANT A 50.

I DON'T
WANT A 50.

- NO MAN
UNDER 50?

THAT'S NOT
FUN, MOMMY.

I JUST THINK MOMMY'S
COMIN' UP WITH EXCUSES

BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T
WANT TO GO OUT.

- ARE YOU GUYS
READY TO ORDER?

- I WANT AN OMELETTE
WITH ONION--

- WE HAVE THIS THING CALLED--
IT'S A MESA OMELET--

- OH, BUT I'M
TELLING YOU WHAT I WANT.

TOMATOES, ONIONS, UM,
WHAT ELSE DO I LIKE?

- I DON'T KNOW.

MY MOTHER IS
INCREDIBLY RUDE.

"WAIT A MINUTE, I
DID NOT ASK YOU THAT.

"I ASKED YOU
FOR BEANS."

UM, HOPE SHE DON'T ACT
THAT WAY ON A DATE.

MOM, THIS IS
COMING FROM LOVE.

YOU MIGHT TRY TO BE
A LITTLE BIT NICER.

- TO WHOM?

- "I DON'T
WANT THAT.

"I WANT-- I KNOW
WHAT I WANT."

- I DON'T CARE WHAT
MY GIRLS SAYS.

I DON'T LET ANY
MAN INTERRUPT ME.

AND IF THIS BLIND DATE
HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THAT,

THEN HE CAN
JUST LEAVE.

I JUST DON'T
WANT NO BULL.

BY THE TIME YOU GET MY AGE,
YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE THE DRAMA.

YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT-- NOT
MANY GENTLEMEN OUT HERE.

- MY MOTHER'S DEFINITELY
JUST ANGRY WITH MEN,

THE WHOLE SPECIES,

AND UNTIL SHE REALIZES
THAT THAT'S THE FACT,

SHE WON'T HAVE
A GOOD DATE.

YOU CAN'T TELL NOBODY NOTHING
WHEN THEY KNOW EVERYTHING.

- EXACTLY.

- AND THAT'S WHY SHE'S IN
THE PREDICAMENT THAT SHE'S IN.

- I AM WILLING TO GO
OUT ON A BLIND DATE.

I'M GAME.

I'LL TRY IT.

WHO KNOWS.

I JUST MAY HAVE
A LOT OF FUN.

- I GOT TO REALLY MAKE
A DECISION ON WHETHER

I'M GONNA DO
"PLAYBOY" OR NOT,

AND I NEED TO TALK
WITH SOMEONE.

SO, I'M THINKIN' I'M GONNA
TALK TO MAY MANAGER.

I'M GONNA TALK TO VINCE, AND
HE'S GONNA GIVE ME SOME KIND

OF GUIDANCE ON
WHAT I SHOULD DO.

GOSH, I HAVEN'T
BEEN ON THE COUCH.

- ON THE COUCH.
- IN AWHILE.

- I KNOW.
- LET ME SIT HERE.

- OKAY-- WHAT I REALLY
WANT TO TALK TO ABOUT THAT

IS THE "PLAYBOY" THING.

HAVE YOU BEEN
THINKIN' ABOUT THAT?

- I DON'T KNOW-- THEY
MENTIONED THAT WE COULD USE--

THAT I COULD PICK THE PICTURES,
ANY PICTURES I WANT,

AND THE PHOTOGRAPHER.

- THEY'VE BEEN CHASING
YOU FOR AWHILE.

- THIS IS LIKE THE FOURTH
TIME THEY'VE ASKED.

- YEAH.

- BUT I'M THINKIN',
SUPPOSE I'M TOO SICK

TO BE CUTE
AND SEXY.

SO, I DO FEEL LIKE
WHILE I'VE OVERCOME,

'CAUSE REMEMBER WHEN THEY TOLD
ME I'D NEVER BE ABLE TO WORK,

NEVER BE ABLE TO
DO ANYTHING ELSE.

AND, LIKE, SO SOMEONE STILL
THINKS I'M VALUABLE AND SEXY.

BECAUSE THEY ONLY PICK
BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

AND WOMEN THEY FIND
BEAUTIFUL AND SEXY.

- AND YOU ARE--

- SO, THAT MAKES ME
FEEL FINALLY LIKE,

"THEY THINK I'M THAT?"
- YES, YOU ARE THAT.

- SO, I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT
BUT I'M A LITTLE CAUTIOUS

'CAUSE I HAVE KIDS.

- YEAH, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
- IT MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE.

- WE LIVE IN
A DIFFERENT TIME.

WE LIVE IN
A DIFFERENT CULTURE.

YOU KNOW, LOOK AT
VANESSA WILLIAMS.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, SHE DID IT
AND WENT ON TO HAVE A GREAT LIFE

AND SHE'S STILL ACTIVE WITH
HER KIDS AND EVERYTHING,

AND IT'S LIKE, IF
IT'S DONE TASTEFUL--

WHAT YOU ARE, YOU ARE
A TASTEFUL WOMAN.

I THINK THAT'S INCREDIBLE
THAT THEY CALLED YOU

AND THINK YOU'RE
BEAUTIFUL AND SEXY.

- I WAS FLATTERED.

- AND-AND, YOU KNOW,
IT CAN BE SOMETHIN'--

THEY ONLY WANT THAT
TO SELL MAGAZINES.

THEY'RE IN
THE BUSINESS.

SO THAT MEANS THEY BELIEVE
YOU CAN SELL MAGAZINES.

YOU JUST GOT TO
STOP BEING SCARED.

IT'S ALL
UP TO YOU.

SO, YOU SHOULD
THINK ABOUT IT.

- OKAY, VINCE HAS
SOME GOOD POINTS.

I NEED TO MAKE
A DECISION VERY SOON.

I'M GONNA SLEEP ON IT
TONIGHT AND DECIDE TOMORROW.

BUT I KNOW I NEED TO COME UP
WITH SOMETHING VERY SOON.

OKAY-- OKAY.

- ALL RIGHT?
- THAT'S WORKS.

- COOL.

- ALL RIGHT.

LOOK HOW CHUNKY I AM?
- YOU LOOK GREAT.

THAT'S WHY THEY'RE CALLING
YOU TO DO "PLAYBOY."

- THEY'RE LOOKIN' AT OLDER
PICTURES WHEN I WAS SKINNY.

- NO, THEY'RE NOT-- THEY'RE
LOOKIN' AT EVERYTHING.

THE POWER IN
THERE DON'T LIE.

- I'VE BEEN TRYING TO
GET MY HUSBAND, VINCE,

TO RECORD AN ALBUM
FOR ME.

BUT IT HASN'T
BEEN GOING WELL.

MY HUSBAND HAS THE NUMBER ONE
SELLING FEMALE ARTIST

IN THE WORLD AND
IT AIN'T ME.

- WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR MUSIC
CAREER, IT'S ALREADY BAD,

BECAUSE YOU
DON'T LISTEN.

- YOU ARE REALLY BEING
OVER THE TOP.COM, FOR REAL.

- IT'S NOT OVER THE TOP.COM,
IT'S CALLED--

YOU-YOU KNOW
WHAT IT IS?

IT'S THE TRUTH.COM, AND YOU
DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT THAT.

IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN THE
WAY YOU WANT IT TO HAPPEN

BECAUSE YOU'RE
MY WIFE.

- SO, I DECIDED TO THROW
AN APPRECIATION PARTY

FOR MY HUSBAND, VINCE.

SO, HE CAN SEE HOW
MUCH I APPRECIATE HIM,

AND THEN HE CAN SHOW HOW
MUCH HE APPRECIATES ME

BY DOING
AN ALBUM FOR ME.

- HI, LADIES.
- HI, THERE.

- MY NAME IS SCHADIA
AND THIS IS SHENEZ.

AND WE'RE GONNA BE
YOUR TEACHERS TONIGHT.

- OKAY.

- AND TO REMIND HIM WHY
I DESERVE TO BE A STAR.

I HAVE A SPECIAL
PERFORMANCE I WANT TO DO.

SO TRINA AND TOWANDA
ARE GOING WITH ME

TO BELLY DANCING LESSONS.

OKAY, I JUST WANT TO HAVE
A LITTLE CHOREOGRAPHY

FOR THIS PARTY WE'RE HAVING
FOR VINCE, MY HUSBAND.

AND I NEED IT TO BE
REALLY TIGHT AND RIGHT.

- SOUNDS GOOD-- WE'RE
GONNA LEARN SOME MOVES,

AND THEN WE'RE PUT IT ALL
TOGETHER IN A FAB COREOGRAPHY.

- OKAY.
- ALL RIGHT!

- ARE YOU GIRLS READY?
- WE'RE READY.

- DO A LITTLE BIT STRETCHING
OF THE UPPER BODY,

AND THEN WE'LL LEARN
A COUPLE MOVES.

NOW, STRAIGHT
UP AND DOWN.

- SO THE FIRST PART OF
THE CLASS WAS HOMEGIRL DOING

SOME EXERCISE AND STOMACH STUFF,
LIKE THIS IS NOT DANCING.

- IT'S A FULL-BODY WORKOUT.

THIS FROM
HEAD TO TOE.

- I DON'T NEED-- I DIDN'T
GO THERE TO EXERCISE,

I WENT THERE, YOU KNOW, TO
KNOW HOW TO MOVE MY BELLY

A LITTLE BIT MORE.

I JUST WANT
THE ROUTINE.

I CAN FIGURE
THE REST OUT.

I CAN FIGURE THE--
THAT STUFF OUT.

I WANNA COME IN
REAL SNAKE-LIKE,

LIKE SNAKES
A LITTLE BIT.

AND THEN WE, LIKE, POW,
POW, POW HIM IN THE HEAD,

AND BAM, BAM,
BAM-- THAT'S--

- BUT THAT'S NOT
BELLY DANCE.

- WHAT IS IT?
- I DON'T KNOW.

- I AM NOT DOWN WITH WHAT THIS
TEACHER IS DOING, FOR REAL.

- MEN HAVE PROBLEMS
WITH THAT.

IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
- WHO TOLD YOU THAT?

IT'S, UH, IT'S
"PLAYBOY."

- ANY REAL MAN IS GONNA
HAVE ISSUE WITH THAT.

I'M TELLING YOU.
- A REAL MAN?

- ANY-- I'M TELLING YOU, THEY'RE
GONNA HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.

- SO I DECIDE TO THROW
MY HUSBAND, VINCE,

AN APPRECIATION PARTY.

SO, TRINA AND TOWANDA WENT WITH
ME TO BELLY DANCIN' CLASS.

WE DECIDED WE WERE GONNA PUT
ON THIS HOT PERFORMANCE.

BUT THIS TEACHER?

NO, MA'AM, SHE IS
NOT IN THE BUSINESS.

SHE IS A WAZACK.

SO, YOU KNOW, I GOT TO TAKE
MATTERS INTO MY OWN HANDS.

OKAY, NOW ENOUGH OF THEM--
THEN, I GO.

AND ME, ME, ME.

AND ME, ME, ME.

- YOU KNOW
WHAT, THOUGH?

IF YOU DO THE HANDS,
PEOPLE'LL WATCH YOUR HANDS

INSTEAD OF YOUR HIPS
IF YOU KEEP--

- THEY'RE GONNA
WATCH THE PICTURE.

THAT'S WHAT
I NEED.

LIKE, SOMEBODY GONNA TAKE
A PICTURE, SNAP, SNAP.

I NEED TO BE LIKE THIS--
NOT LIKE--

THAT'S NOT CUTE.

- TAMAR BECAME
THE INSTRUCTOR.

YOU CAN'T INSTRUCT THE
INSTRUCTOR ON HOW TO INSTRUCT.

- I'M GONNA NEED
A ONE, TWO, THREE,

FOUR, FIVE, SIX,
SEVEN, EIGHT.

YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
- THAT'S WHAT WE JUST SAID.

- BUT YOU ALL GOT TO MAKE SURE
YOU ALL SLIDE RIGHT ON OUT

OF MY WAY.

NOW PUSH, GET
MY MOMENT IN.

PUSH--
GET MY MOMENT IN.

I NEED YOU TO
CONCENTRATE, TOWANDA.

MAKE IT COUNT.

- AND WE HAD TO LEARN
REALLY, REALLY FAST

BECAUSE TAMAR WAS TRYING TO BE
THE BOSS OF EVERYBODY AGAIN.

- WHERE'S YOUR STEP?

I NEED YOU TO GET
IN CHARACTER.

DON'T MESS UP
MY MOMENT.

WHY SHE GOT IT AND
YOU AIN'T GOT IT?

WING IT.

COME ON.

NOBODY REALLY KNOWS THAT TRINA
DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO DANCE.

TRINA, DON'T
MESS IT UP.

STICK THAT
FOOT OUT.

- I DID.

- THE OTHER FOOT--
YOUR OTHER FOOT.

- OH, THIS ONE?

- SOMETIMES SHE LEAVES
HER RIGHT FOOT AT HOME,

AND SHE WALKS OUT THE DOOR
WITH BOTH LEFT FEET.

I THINK THIS PARTICULAR
DAY SHE DID THAT.

OKAY, NOW, TRINA, LET'S
SEE IF YOU GOT IT.

- I BEG YOUR PARDON, YOU'RE
NOT GONNA TREAT ME--

- TRINA, YOU GOT TO
WATCH YOUR LINES.

- 'CAUSE I'M NOT TRYING TO
BE SEDUCTIVE BELLY DANCING

IN FRONT OF
MY BROTHER-IN-LAW.

- CONCENTRATE.

GET IN YOUR BUBBLE.

- TAMAR IS ALWAYS LIKE, "TRINA,
YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS RIGHT.

"OH, TRINA, YOU'RE DOING--
TRINA, YOU HAVE TO FOCUS.

"TRINA, YOU HAVE TO
STAY IN YOUR BUBBLE."

I'M IN MY BUBBLE.
- NO, YOU NEED TO CONCENTRATE.

- I NEED TO
FOLLOW HER.

- STAY ON THE BUBBLE TRAIN,
AND DON'T GET SCARED.

DON'T GET SCARED--
SHE LOST IT.

SHE DROPPED IT.
- I DIDN'T DROP IT.

- YOU MESSED UP
THE WHOLE THING.

YOU'RE GONNA
MESS IT UP.

- OKAY, I HAVE
TO BE HONEST,

IT IS NOT AS EASY FOR
ME TO PICK UP THE STEPS

AS IT FOR THE REST
OF MY SISTERS,

BUT I THINK ONCE I
GET IT DOWN, I GOT IT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME TWICE
AFTER I REALLY, REALLY GET IT,

BUT IT KIND OF TAKES
ME A SECOND.

- AND TURN.

TWO, YES-- YES.

YES, YES,
YES, YES.

WHY CAN'T
YOU DO THAT?

WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK
TO DO FOR THIS PARTY,

AND IF VINCE DOES
NOT APPRECIATE ME

DOING HIS APPRECIATION PARTY,

THEN I WON'T GET
MY ALBUM DONE.

AND WE NEED TO LOOK LIKE
THREE HOT BRAXTONS',

NOT THREE STOOGES.

AND TAKE IT
TO THE FLOOR.

TAKE IT TO
THE FLOOR.

TAKE IT TO
THE FLOOR.

AND BOW.

ENOUGH.

- AND TURN
AND WALK.

- WELL, MY SISTERS
WENT TO A MATCHMAKER

AND FOUND A DATE
FOR MY MOM.

I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT
MY MOM DATING AGAIN,

AND IT'S BEEN
ALMOST TEN YEARS.

I MEAN, SHE'S ONLY DATED ONE
PERSON, MY DAD PRETTY MUCH.

SO, I THINK THIS
IS A GOOD THING.

THIS COULD
BE GREAT.

I WANTED THE INSIDE SCOOP,
SO I TOLD MOMMY,

"I'LL TAKE YOU
TO YOUR DATE."

CAN WE BE GIRLS?

CAN WE PRETEND TO BE
GIRLFRIENDS A LITTLE BIT?

- OKAY, LET'S
BE GIRLFRIENDS.

- SO, IF A PERFECT GUY CALLED
RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT--

- DID YOU SAY
"A PERFECT GUY?"

- YEAH, A PERFECT, WELL
NOT PERFECT LIKE GOD.

CAN WE FOCUS?

- I-I LIKE
TALL GUYS.

SO, HE WON'T BE
SHORT, HE'D BE TALL.

- I DON'T LIKE
ROUGHNECKS.

- OH, I WOULDN'T THINK YOU
WOULD LIKE A ROUGHNECK, MA.

- BUT THEY--
THEY'RE OUT THERE.

YOU GET TO A CERTAIN
AGE, LET'S FACE IT,

UM, YOUR OPTIONS,
THEY'RE NOT THAT GREAT.

BUT AT THE SAME TOKEN,
YOU HAVE TO BE SELECTIVE.

- YOU WANT A GUY
THAT'S FUN.

I MEAN, MAYBE YOU
CAN MAKE HIM FUN.

MAYBE HE'S NOT FUN AT FIRST,
BUT YOU CAN MAKE HIM FUN.

- GUYS MY AGE, IF
THEY'RE NOT SUPER FUN,

WHEN YOU COME INTO IT,
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO CHANGE.

- OKAY-- OKAY--
I HEAR YOU.

- TRUST ME.
- ALL RIGHT.

AND FINANCIALLY?

- STABLE.

- FINANCIALLY STA-STABLE
COULD BE A PERSON WHO WORKS

AS A CAR WASH.

- YOU WASHING CARS, YOU'RE
NOT FINANCIALLY STABLE.

YOU'RE NOT
MAKIN' MONEY.

SOMEBODY THAT'S SUCCESSFUL.

- OKAY, FINANCIALLY
SUCCESSFUL.

OKAY, MY MOM'S TASTE IN
MEN, I'M DISCOVERING,

IS VERY ECLECTIC.

OH, I'M SORRY, AND
SHE WANTS HIM TO WALK

LIKE DENZEL WASHINGTON.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE
GONNA FIND THIS GUY.

SUPPOSE HE'S ALL THOSE
THINGS AND HE'S NOT CUTE.

HE'S CHALLENGED
IN THAT.

WELL, THEN, WHAT
DO YOU SAY?

- I'LL GET
TO KNOW HIM,

BECAUSE I'M NOT HAVIN'
ANY KIDS FROM HIM.

- THERE YOU GO--
SEE WHAT I MEAN?

SO THAT'S ONE THAT YOU
WERE WILLING TO GIVE ON.

- YEAH, I'LL GIVE ON THAT ONE.
- OKAY.

NO-NO GIVING ON
THE FINANCIAL STABILITY.

- OH, GOD, NO.

- SO, I DROPPED OFF
MY MOM AT HER DATE,

AND I HOPE IT
GOES WELL.

I HAVE
MY FINGERS CROSSED.

- HE WAS LATE.

I DON'T LIKE
LATE MEN EITHER.

YOU HAVE TO
BE ON TIME.

SO, I WAS GETTING
A LITTLE RESTLESS,

AND I WAS SITTING THERE AND
I'M WAITING AND I'M WAITING,

AND I'M LOOKING
AT MY WATCH,

AND I'M LOOKING
OUT OF THE WINDOW.

I DON'T KNOW WHO
I'M LOOKING FOR,

BUT I HOPE THIS MAN
HAVE ON A SUIT

BECAUSE I DON'T
LIKE ROUGHNECKS.

THERE WAS A GUY THAT
WALKED IN, HIP-HOP GUY.

HE WAS NOT DRESSED
APPROPRIATELY,

SO I'M THINKING,
"OH, MY GOD,

"PLEASE DON'T LET
THAT BE THIS MAN."

- ARE YOU MRS. JONES--
MRS. JONES?

I'M LOOKIN' FOR MRS. JONES.
- JONES?

- MRS. JONES, YES.
- NO, I'M NOT MRS. JONES.

- NOT MRS. JONES.
- THANK GOD I'M NOT JONES.

OH, WOW.

I'LL GIVE HIM
TEN MINUTES.

- ARE YOU EVELYN?

- YES.

- HI, BY GOLLY.
- HI.

- OH, AREN'T YOU LOOKIN'
SHARP THIS EVENING.

- OH, THANK YOU--
THANK YOU.

- I'M JAY.
- HI, HOW ARE YOU, JAY?

NICE TO MEET YOU.

HE WAS A SNOWFLAKE.

I'VE ALWAYS DEALT
IN CHOCOLATE.

- DO YOU HAVE A FAMILY?
- I DO.

FIVE GIRLS
AND ONE SON.

MY GIRLS ARE
ENTERTAINERS.

- REALLY?
- YEAH.

- WHAT'S YOUR LAST NAME?
- BRAXTON.

- NOT BRAXTON,
TONI BRAXTON?

NO?

ARE YOU
KIDDING ME?

YOU GOT ALL OF
THESE GIRLS.

THIS IS LIKE
THE KARDASHIANS.

- NO, WE'RE
THE BRAXTONS'.

- THE BRAXTONS'.

BRAXTONS'?
- KARDASHIANS?

WE'RE NOT GETTIN' OFF
TO A GOOD START HERE.

UM, I'LL HAVE WATER
AND A DIET COKE.

- I WANT, UH,
SCOTCH ON THE ROCKS.

- IT'S 1 P.M., HMM, A LITTLE
TOO EARLY FOR SCOTCH.

- NO WINE, OR CHAMPAGNE,
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?

- NO.

- YOU KNOW, AT OUR AGE IN LIFE,
UH, WE NEED NEW EXPERIENCES.

RIGHT?
- WE DO.

- ARE YOU GAME FOR
NEW EXPERIENCES?

- I'M GAME.
- GOOD-- GOOD.

YOU SOUND LIKE
A LADY WHO HAS FUN.

- YEAH.

HUH, LET'S SEE HOW MUCH FUN
THIS SNOWFLAKE HAVE TO OFFER.

- MM-HMM.

I'M NOT DRINKIN'
TOO MUCH, AM I?

- NO, KEEP DOING
WHAT YOU DO.

- WHOO.

- NOTHING WRONG WITH
A LITTLE BOOBIES.

I HAVE VERY CUTE BOOBIES--
THEY ONLY COST ME $8,900.

- SO, I'M OUT ON A BLIND DATE,
THAT MY DAUGHTERS SET UP,

AND HE'S
A SNOWFLAKE.

AND HE LOVES SCOTCH.

- SO, ARE-ARE WE GONNA
HAVE SOME FUN OR WHAT?

- HE SEEMS TO HAVE
A VERY SPECIFIC IDEA

OF HOW TO
HAVE FUN.

- I NEED THAT TO
SETTLE ME DOWN.

- REALLY?

HE KEPT DRINKING AND
DRINKING AND DRINKING,

AND HE WAS SAYING, "MM,
MM, THAT'S SMOOTH."

- WHOO!

- SO, I GOT A LITTLE
BOTHERED ABOUT THAT.

- I'M NOT DRINKIN'
TOO MUCH, AM I?

- NO.

DO WHAT YOU NEED TO--
DO WHAT YOU DO.

HE SAID, "DO YOU MIND IF
I HAVE ANOTHER DRINK?"

I SAID, "OH, NO, GO
AHEAD, DO WHAT YOU DO."

YOU KNOW, BUT
ACTUALLY, I MIND.

HOLD IT, UH,
THE FINGER SNAP, HUH?

OKAY.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS
DATE CAN GET MUCH WORSE.

- I REALLY LOVE
THAT HAIR.

I, UH, I MISS BEING,
YOU KNOW, WITH A LADY,

AND YOU ARE
JUST TOO MUCH.

- I JUST MET HIM
FOR GOD SAKES.

- TELL YOU WHAT
WE SHOULD DO.

- WHAT SHOULD
BE DO?

- LET'S RUN DOWN OVER THERE
TO THE, UH, BILTMORE.

- HE WANTED TO GO TO SEE SOME
SIGHTS IN NORTH CAROLINA,

AND I'M THINKING,
"OKAY" FOR A DAY.

THAT'S A DAY
TRIP, RIGHT?

- IT GETS DARK,

SO I CAN'T PROMISE THAT
IT'LL BE A DAY TRIP.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST YOU CAN'T,
UH... YOU HAVE TO STAY.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M
TALKIN' ABOUT?

- UM-MM.

AND THE GIRLS
SAY UH-UH.

WRONG GIRL.

ABSOLUTELY NOT--
UH-UH.

NO, I KNOW WE'RE OLDER,
AND I KNOW LIFE IS SHORT

BUT LIFE IS NOT
THAT SHORT.

- BLIND DATE, I WAS-I
WAS UP FOR IT, RIGHT?

BUT IT ALWAYS MAKES YOU A
LITTLE ANXIOUS, DON'T YOU THINK?

- YES, ESPECIALLY
WHEN YOU'RE LATE.

WELL, I THINK THIS DATE
IS WINDING DOWN,

BUT HOW IS HE
GONNA GET HOME?

DO YOU DRIVE?

- ONLY WHEN
I HAVE TO.

I'M GONNA HAVE
SOMEBODY PICK ME UP.

- OH!

- UH-HUH.

- HE HAS A DRIVER.

OKAY, SO THAT MEANS HE'S
FINANCIALLY STABLE.

THAT KIND OF CHANGES
THE FLAVOR OF THE DATE.

YOU KNOW WHAT
I MEAN?

- WE'RE HAVING
FUN, RIGHT?

I HOPE-I HOPE
YOU'RE HAVING FUN.

- YEAH, ME-- I HOPE, I HOPE
YOU'RE HAVING FUN ALSO.

AND WHEN IT WAS OVER,
WE EXCHANGED NUMBERS.

WELL, I GAVE HIM MY NUMBER,
SO HE COULD CALL ME.

I THINK HE WILL PROBABLY
GIVE ME A CALL.

UH, I THINK HE
WAS IMPRESSED.

- YEAH, YOU'RE OKAY.

- THAT'S RIGHT.

- OOH.

- AND SO ARE YOU, KIDDO.

I'M FINDING OUT THAT PLAYING
IN THE SNOW IS NOT SO BAD.

WHO KNOWS, I MAY
CATCH A SNOWMAN.

- I DECIDED TO INVITE ALL
THE GIRLS OVER FOR BRUNCH.

AND I WANTED MOMMY
TO COME OVER, TOO,

SO SHE COULD TELL
ME ABOUT HER DATE.

AND I ALSO HAVE A VERY
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE.

OKAY, GUYS, I HAVE
DECIDED TO DO "PLAYBOY."

- YAY!

- I THINK SHE
SHOULD DO IT.

SHE HAS
A GREAT BODY.

I DON'T THINK IT'S
ANY DIFFERENT

FROM THE OTHER STUFF
SHE'S EVER DONE.

AT LEAST SHE'LL BE IN
A TASTEFUL MAGAZINE,

AND IT'S "PLAYBOY."

- REALLY?
- [indistinct]

- WHAT--
I CAN'T UNDERSTAND.

- I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
- ME, EITHER.

- WHAT DID SHE SAY?
- READ THE CAPTION.

- TOWANDA AND TRINA
THINKS IT'S A GOOD IDEA

FOR TONI TO DO
"PLAYBOY," AND I DON'T.

AND I'M RIGHT,
AS USUAL.

- NOTHING WRONG WITH
A LITTLE BOOBIES.

I HAVE VERY
CUTE BOOBIES.

THEY ONLY COST
ME $8,900.

- I THINK A LOT OF MEN WILL
HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THAT.

- I DON'T HAVE ONE
SO GUESS WHAT?

- BUT THAT-THAT'S
NOT THE POINT.

- WHAT'S THE POINT?
- MEN HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THAT.

AS SIMPLE AS THAT--
LET'S JUST KEEP IT REAL.

NO MAN WANTS HIS WIFE,
HIS GIRLFRIEND,

OR HIS POTENTIAL WIFE
OR GIRLFRIEND

TO BE NAKED IN
FRONT OF OTHER MEN.

- MEN BE TRIPPIN' OUT
ABOUT STUFF LIKE THAT.

TONI, THAT IS
THE TRUTH.

- WHO TOLD YOU THAT--
IT, UH, IT'S "PLAYBOY."

- ANY REAL MAN GONNA
HAVE ISSUE WITH THAT.

I'M TELLING YOU.
- A REAL MAN?

- ANY-- I'M TELLING YOU, YOU
GONNA HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT--

GABE WILL LET YOU
DO "PLAYBOY?"

- ALL DAY LONG.
- NO, HE WON'T.

THAT'S A LIE.

- TAMAR DOES NOT KNOW
WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT.

GABE WOULD LOVE IT IF
I POSED FOR "PLAYBOY."

TAMAR JUST NEEDS
TO CHILL OUT.

I DON'T THINK
IT'S A PROBLEM.

- THANK YOU, TRINA.

SMOOCHES... SMOOCHES.

OTHER WAY, SMOOCHES.

- I HAVE TO
SAY SOMETHING.

- I'M TONI BRAXTON,
[deleted].

I DON'T CARE WHAT
OTHER PEOPLE THINK.

IT IS ABOUT WHAT I
THINK ABOUT MYSELF.

- WHOO-- BABY!

- I AM VERY PROUD
OF MY BODY.

IT'S GOOD
ENOUGH FOR HEF.

HE KNOWS GOOD,
FABULOUS, SEXY BODIES,

AND HE
PICKED ME.

I THINK I'M IN
GREAT HANDS.

MM, DIDN'T SOMEBODY
JUST HAVE A DATE?

- MOMMY HAD
A BLIND DATE.

- HOW DID IT GO?

- LET ME TELL YOU
WHAT HAPPENED.

HERE COME A MAN, HE
CAME IN, HIP-HOP,

WITH A BIG EARRING
IN HIS-IN HIS EAR.

AND I'M SITTIN' THERE LIKE,
"LORD, PLEASE TELL ME,

"PLEASE TELL ME
THAT'S NOT THE MAN.

"PLEASE, LORD."

THEN THIS LITTLE MAN
CAME IN AFTER HIM

WITH THREE FLOWERS.

HE WAS SHORT.

I WAS SO HAPPY, I DIDN'T
KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF.

- HE BROUGHT
YOU FLOWERS?

- NOT BECAUSE
OF THE FLOWERS,

BUT I WAS JUST
SO EXCITED

THAT IT WASN'T
THE HIP-HOP MAN.

- HOW'S HE LOOK?

HE'S SHORT AND
WHAT ELSE?

LIGHT SKIN, BROWN
SKIN, DARK SKIN?

- HE WAS A SNOWMAN.

- WHAT?
- HE WAS WHITE.

- HE WAS A SNOWFLAKE?
- HE WAS A SNOWFLAKE.

HE WAS A SNOWMAN.

- YOU MEAN YOU WENT
ACROSS THE HIGHWAY?

- YEAH!

- WENT ACROSS
THE STREET, BABY.

- WAS THAT YOUR FIRST DATE OF
NON-BLACK, AFRICAN-AMERICAN?

- YOU MEAN, NON-LIGHT SKIN,
TALL WITH A MOUSTACHE.

- EVERY SINGLE MAN MY MOMMA
GOES OUT WITH,

HE'S LIKE SIX FEET, LIGHT
SKIN AND WITH A MOUSTACHE.

MY DADDY.

- 'CAUSE THEY ALL LIGHT SKIN,
TALL, WITH A MOUSTACHE.

- I HATE HER SO
MUCH RIGHT NOW.

- IT'S TRUE.
- TELLING THE TRUTH, MA.

- ONLY ONE THING THAT BOTHERED
ME-- HE KEPT DRINKIN'.

HE KEPT DRINKING.

- MEN IN THEIR 60s LIKE
TO HAVE A COCKTAIL--

- WAIT A MINUTE NOW--
THIS WAS TOO MANY.

IT WAS FIVE OR
SIX OF 'EM.

- I PERSONALLY DIDN'T
HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BOB

OR WHATEVER HIS NAME IS
DRINKIN' HARD LIQUOR.

EVERYBODY HAS A LITTLE
HARD LIQUOR SOMETIMES.

- THAT'S A RED FLAG, THOUGH.
- HE WAS A NICE MAN.

- SO YOU GUYS HIT IT OFF?
- YES, WE DID.

TIME WENT REALLY BY.
- HOW WAS HIS TEETH?

- I DIDN'T LOOK
AT HIS TEETH.

- YOU HAD TO SEE THEM WHEN
YOU ALL WERE LAUGHING.

- I WASN'T PAYING
ATTENTION TO HIS TEETH.

- YOU DIDN'T LOOK
AT HIS TEETH?

- I DIDN'T PAY ANY
ATTENTION TO HIS LIPS.

- MOMMY WENT OUT ON
A DATE WITH A DRUNK,

AND SHE DOESN'T
EVEN DRINK.

I DON'T THINK I LIKE
THE SOUND OF THIS.

- I WAS SO HAPPY--

- DADDY WASN'T
A HIP-HOP MAN.

- OTHER THINGS I DIDN'T
PAY ATTENTION TO.

- DID YOU TALK TO
HIM AFTER THE DATE?

- WELL, I HAVEN'T
SPOKEN TO HIM.

- YOU HAVEN'T
TALK TO HIM?

- I GAVE HIM
MY NUMBER.

HE HASN'T
CALLED YET.

- FIRST, THE MAN
GETS DRUNK.

SECOND, HE DOESN'T
CALL HER THE NEXT DAY.

UH-UH, NOT THE RIGHT
GUY FOR HER.

SHE NEEDS
TO MOVE ON.

THERE IS OTHER
FISH IN THE SEA.

- HE HAS A DRIVER SO, YOU KNOW,
DOESN'T NEED TO DRIVE.

- OH-- HE HAD
A DRIVER!

- SOMEBODY
PICKED HIM UP.

- THAT'S WHAT
I'M TALKIN' ABOUT.

MOMMA NEEDS A RICH MAN
TO TAKE CARE OF HER.

SHE AIN'T GETTIN'
NO YOUNGER.

HERE-- HERE.
- CHEERS.

- WELL, GUESS WHO'S
COMING TO DINNER?

- YES!

- I'M JUST SO
STRESSED OUT LATELY.

I MEAN, I'M TRYING TO PUT
TOGETHER THIS APPRECIATION PARTY

FOR VINCE SO HE
CAN DO MY ALBUM,

AND HERE'S TONI POPPIN' OUT
WITH THIS "PLAYBOY" BUSINESS

THAT I KNOW IS
NOT A GOOD IDEA.

I JUST HAVE A LITTLE
SURPRISE FOR HER

SO SHE CAN MAKE
THE RIGHT DECISION.

SO IS IT TRUE YOU'RE REALLY
THINKIN' ABOUT DOING "PLAYBOY?"

- I'M REALLY
THINKING ABOUT.

- AND YOU THINK "PLAYBOY"
IS THE PICK-ME-UP ON THE--

- I THINK IT'S NOT
A PICK-ME-DOWN.

- AND YOU THINK ABOUT
THAT "PLAYBOY" QUESTION,

BECAUSE I'M GONNA ASK YOU
AGAIN LATER ON TODAY.

I WANT YOU TO HAVE A REAL
EDUCATED ANSWER ON WHAT,

WHY YOU SHOULD DO
IT OR WHY NOT?

- YOU ARE NOT
MY MOMMA!

- NO, BECAUSE I REALLY
WANT YOU TO--FOR REAL--

TO SIT DOWN AND
THINK ABOUT IT.

AFTER THE LITTLE EXPERIMENT
THAT I HAVE PLANNED FOR TONI,

I THINK SHE SHOULD SEE THINGS
A LITTLE MORE CLEARLY.

- GOOD TO MEET YOU.
- HI, MARK.

I'M TAMAR.
- TAMAR, HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD TO MEET YOU.
- I'M THE ONE WHO SPOKE TO YOU.

- COOL--
WELL, COME ON BACK.

- SO IF TONI DECIDED
TO DO "PLAYBOY,"

I THINK SHE NEEDS TO PRACTICE
TO SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE.

SO, I SET UP A PHOTO SHOOT
AS A SURPRISE.

- THIS IS
THE BOUDOIR AREA.

- OKAY.

- WHICH IS MORE ALONG
THE MEN'S MAGAZINE TYPE,

UH, TYPE SHOTS.

- GREAT-- OKAY-- GOT IT.

- WHAT DID YOU
HAVE IN MIND?

- YEAH, SO THIS WOULD
BE THE AREA, I THINK,

THAT WE WOULD NEED,
THE BOUDOIR AREA,

BECAUSE OF THE RACY PHOTOS
THAT I THINK SHE NEEDS

TO TAKE FOR
TEST SHOOT.

- OKAY--
AND ARE YOU NERVOUS?

- NOT AT ALL.
- GOOD.

EXCELLENT-- MOST PEOPLE COME
IN HERE AND THEY'RE LIKE,

"OH, OKAY,
I'M-I'M READY."

- WHAT'S HE
TALKIN' ABOUT?

HE'S NOT TAKIN'
MY PICTURE.

I'M SORRY.

MY SISTER TOLD YOU I WAS
GONNA DO A TEST SHOOT?

- UH, WELL,
UH, YEAH.

- I'M SORRY, SIR, IT HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.

WOULD YOU GIVE
US FIVE MINUTES?

THANK YOU-- THANK YOU--
THANK YOU.

WHAT THE HELL IS
YOU THINKING?

THAT'S NOT PROFESSIONAL--

OTHER VAGINAS HAVE
BEEN ON THAT BED.

THAT'S NOT COOL.
- LET'S GO DOWN TO TWO--

- I WOULD NEVER DO A SHOOT
IN A PLACE LIKE THIS.

- SHOOT AND SHOOT,

AND, OH...
AND YES!

- THE ARTISTIC NUDES ARE
ABOUT FORM AND FIGURE.

THEY'RE ABOUT-THEY'RE ABOUT
CELEBRATION OF THE HUMAN BODY.

- I'M SORRY, MY SISTER TOLD
YOU I WAS GONNA DO A TEST SHOOT?

- UH, WELL,
UH, YEAH.

- I'M SORRY, SIR, IT HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.

WOULD YOU GIVE
US FIVE MINUTES?

THANK YOU-- THANK YOU--
THANK YOU.

WHAT THE HELL
IS YOU THINKIN'?

- DON'T READ ME.
- YES, I'LL READ YOU.

WHAT THE HELL YOU THINKIN'
I'M DOING A TEST SHOT

FOR SOME
STRANGER'S EARS.

"HERE'S MY ASS AND
MY BREASTS, LOOK AT 'EM."

I SAID I WOULD
CONSIDER GETTING NAKED

FOR HUGH HEFNER/"PLAYBOY,"

NOT FOR JUST ANY PERSON
WHO HAS A CAMERA.

WHO DOES THAT--
VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.

DON'T LET THE SISTERHOOD
FOOL YOU.

- HOLD ON-- THAT'S JUST--
HOLD ON.

- UNPROFESSIONAL, MY BUSINESS--
NOT COOL.

- LET'S GO DOWN TO TWO.
- NOT COOL.

- LET'S GO DOWN TO TWO BECAUSE--
- NO, I WILL NOT GO DOWN TO TWO.

- ALL I'M SAYING IS YOU
ARE TAKING IT COMPLETELY

OUT OF CONTEXT.

- I AM NOT TAKING
IT OUT OF CONTEXT.

I WOULD
NOT EVER--

- HOW CAN YOU HEAR
IF YOU'RE TALKING?

- BECAUSE I WANT
YOU TO HEAR ME.

- HOW CAN YOU HEAR
IF YOU'RE TALKING--

- I WOULD NEVER DO A SHOOT
IN A PLACE LIKE THIS.

- YOU'RE OVERREACTING.
- NO, I'M NOT.

OTHER VAGINAS HAVE BEEN
ON THAT BED, I'LL BET YOU.

- I DIDN'T SAY,
"ON THE BED."

LET ME SHOW YOU A FEW STEPS--
ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS TO ASK ME.

NO, MA'AM--
I WOULD NEVER DO "PLAYBOY."

BUT I DO KNOW
WHAT MY MAN LIKES.

OKAY, I'M JUST
SHOWING YOU.

I COULD GIVE YOU A FEW
POINTERS ON SOME SHOTS.

YOU'D BE
DOING THAT.

- I'M NOT DOING-- WHY YOU--
WHY ARE YOU DOING FRONTAL?

I WOULD NEVER
DO FRONTAL.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING--
IT'S NOT THAT.

- LOOK BACK.
- IT WOULD NEVER BE FRONTAL.

WHY ARE YOU DOING
A SPLIT V?

YOU WOULD NEVER SHOW SUZY.
- NO, I GOT THIS COVERED.

SEE THIS?

- NO--
THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY DO.

THAT'S NOT HOW
"PLAYBOY" DOES IT.

YOU SHOULD SUBSCRIBE
TO "PLAYBOY."

IT'S BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHY.

- I DON'T NEED TO
SUB-SUBSCRIBE TO "PLAYBOY."

- BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHY.

- MY HUSBAND ENJOYS
LOOKIN' AT ME.

DO YOU SEE-- HAVE
YOU SEEN ALL OF THIS?

- OKAY, I'M DONE.

- GIRL-- THEY CAN TAKE
A PICTURE LIKE THIS.

YOU CAN GO--

- I'M LEAVIN'--
I'M OUT.

- OR YOU CAN GO--

- "PLAYBOY" DON'T DO
PICTURES LIKE THAT, TAMAR.

- THIS IS "PLAYBOY."
- THAT IS NOT "PLAYBOY."

OKAY, I'LL SEE
YOU LATER.

I APPRECIATE--
- IT'S JUST FOR PRACTICE.

- I'M NOT GONNA DO NO
PRACTICE SHOWING MY BREASTS

AND MY BOOBIES TO
SOME STRANGER.

SORRY, SIR,
NO OFFENSE.

- I'LL DO IT.

I-I-I AIN'T
WASTIN' MY DEPOSIT.

I'M JUST GONNA STAY HERE AND
GIVE VINCE SOMETHING SPECIAL

FOR HIS APPRECIATION PARTY,
SO HE CAN APPRECIATE ME

A LITTLE
BIT MORE.

- YOU'RE GONNA DO
A NUDE SHOT FOR REAL?

- I'M GONNA DO ME
A SHOT FOR MY MAN.

NOTHIN' ELSE BUT TO GIVE
HIM AS FABULOUS AS ME.

- AND YOU SEE NO CONTRADICTORY
IN THIS CONVERSATION AT ALL?

- IT AIN'T ON
A MAGAZINE COVER.

IT'S JUST GONNA
BE IN HIS BOUDOIR.

- I KNEW IT--
I KNEW IT.

TAMAR WAS ALL UP ON ME,
"TONI, DON'T DO 'PLAYBOY,'"

BUT WHAT SHE REALLY WANTED
WAS TO DO HER OWN SHOOT.

T-O-N-I IS LEAVING.

- NO, LET'S
GET NAKED.

SHOOT... AND SHOOT...

AND OH...
AND YES.

AND THAT'S IT.

YES, I'M ALL SEXY
AND READY TO ROCK.

LET'S TAKE
SOME PICTURES.

- THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

WE'LL DO ABOUT FIVE
DIFFERENT POSES HERE.

- ALL RIGHT.

- YEAH, ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

RIGHT IN THERE--
BEAUTIFUL.

AWESOME.

EXCELLENT.

RIGHT IN THERE.

FOUR, FIVE.

JUST LIKE THAT--
RIGHT IN THERE.

GOOD--
COME IN TIGHT.

JUST LIKE THAT--
PERFECT.

GOOD-- OKAY.

- IT'S A NEW EXPERIENCE.

I'M FEELIN' A LITTLE
STRANGE, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

I LOOK HOT.

LET'S TAKE
SOME PICTURES.

BOOM!

LET ME GET DRESSED BEFORE
MY HUSBAND FIND ME.

- HEY, MOMMY.
- HEY, YOU.

- DO YOU WANT
SOMETHING TO DRINK?

- JUST WATER FOR
ME, LITTLE GIRL.

- I KNEW MY MOMMA
WASN'T TOO HAPPY

ABOUT THE "PLAYBOY"
SHOOT IDEA,

AND NOW I HAVE SOMETHING
ELSE I HAVE TO TELL HER

THAT I DON'T THINK
SHE'S GONNA BE TOO HAPPY

ABOUT THAT EITHER.

UH, MA, UM--

- YEAH.

- I AM THINKING ABOUT
MOVING TO L.A.

- WHAT?

- I LOVE ATLANTA, BUT I'M
NOT WORKING IN ATLANTA.

- YEAH?

- SO, I NEED TO
GIVE [indistinct].

SO, I WAS THINKIN'
ABOUT IT.

- WHEN DO YOU WANT
TO DO THAT?

- SOON AS THE KIDS
GET OUT OF SCHOOL.

- TONI TELLS ME THAT SHE'S
MOVING TO LOS ANGELES.

IT BREAKS MY HEART.

YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SUPPOSED
TO TAKE CARE OF MY BABY

ALL THE WAY
ACROSS COUNTRY.

FOR YOUR JOB?

- IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW,
L.A. IS THE PLACE YOU GO

TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, AND
THEN YOU CAN GO OUT

AND MOVE
OTHER PLACES.

- L.A.'S NOT THAT FAR, FOUR AND
HALF HOUR RIDE ON THE PLANE.

- WELL, NOW THREE
AND FORTY-FIVE.

- UM, SOMETIMES IT'S FOUR,
BUT ANYWAY I CAN'T WATCH YOU

WHEN YOU'RE IN L.A.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

- NOW, I MAY SAY, "HOW
ARE YOU TODAY, SWEETIE?"

YOU SAY, "OH,
I'M FINE."

BUT WHEN I COME
OVER HERE,

I LOOK AT YOU AND I
KNOW YOU'RE NOT FINE.

- I KNOW MY MOM WANTS TO
BE THERE FOR ME AND ALL,

BUT I HAVE TO
BE HONEST.

I FEEL A LITTLE MORE
COMFORTABLE BEING IN LOS ANGELES

BECAUSE ALL
MY DOCTORS ARE THERE.

I HOPE MY MOM
UNDERSTANDS THAT.

WELL, THE GOOD THING IS
THAT IF I MOVE THERE,

THAT THE DOCTORS
WILL BE THERE.

IF I'M NOT FEELING GOOD, AND
I GO, I GO GET CHECKED OUT.

- THAT'S TRUE, BUT
I NEED TO SEE

TO MAKE SURE THAT
YOU ARE OKAY.

I CAN'T
EXPLAIN IT.

I KNOW SHE'LL HAVE HER
DOCTORS, BUT I WILL WORRY,

BECAUSE I HAVE TO
SEE HER FOR MYSELF.

I'M GONNA
MISS YOU,

BUT I UNDERSTAND.

BUT, MOMMY, YOU'LL COME
VISIT ALL THE TIME.

- I KNOW I HAVE
IN THE PAST.

- YES, AND I'VE LIVED
IN L.A. BEFORE.

- THAT'S RIGHT-- YEAH.

- WHEN I GET OUT THERE, I'M
GONNA NEED YOU TO COME OUT

TO HELP ME GET SETTLED.
- OKAY.

OKAY, I'LL
DO THAT.

L.A. IS TOO
FAR AWAY.

I CAN'T STOP
HER FROM GOING,

BUT I DON'T THINK
IT'S A GOOD IDEA

FOR HER TO MOVE
SO FAR AWAY.

- MM.

- TONIGHT IS
THE BIG NIGHT.

IT'S VINCE'S
APPRECIATION PARTY,

AND HE HAS NO IDEA
WHAT'S IN STORE FOR HIM.

HI.

AND THIS IS "BECAUSE
YOU'RE SO GREAT" PARTY.

YOU KNOW, I REALLY
APPRECIATE VINCE A WHOLE LOT,

SO I SAID TO MYSELF,
"SELF, THROW VINCE

"AN APPRECIATION PARTY."

HI, EVERYBODY.

AND THEN HE CAN SHOW HOW
MUCH HE APPRECIATES ME

BY DOING AN ALBUM FOR ME.

- ALL THE STUFF YOU'VE
BEEN DOING IN YOUR CAREER,

YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY
WHAT TAKES SO LONG?

YOU KNOW IT
TAKES LONG.

YOU HAVE TO SET THINGS
UP THE RIGHT WAY.

DON'T DO THAT.
- VINCE, A RECORD IS A RECORD.

- OKAY-- AND THAT'S THE END OF
THE CONVERSATION BECAUSE YOU--

- NOT, IT'S NOT.
- YES, IT IS-- YES, IT IS.

- AND I HAVE A SURPRISE BELLY
DANCING PERFORMANCE FOR VINCE.

MY HOPE IS WHEN HE SEES ME
UP THERE, HE CAN BE LIKE,

"YES, SHE NEEDS
TO BE ON STAGE.

"DO IT."

HELLO.

I INVITED ALL OF MY FAMILY
AND ALL OF VINCE'S FRIENDS,

AND EVERYBODY'S
HERE EXCEPT TONI.

SHE'S LATE,
OF COURSE.

- YOU LOOK CUTE, THOUGH,
SUPER CUTE.

- JUST A LITTLE TIGHT
WITH TON-- WITH TONI.

ANYTHING THAT I
HAVE, THEY'RE LATE.

TRINA.
- I'M TRINA.

- TRINA, TOWANDA, TRACI
AND TONI ARE ALWAYS LATE.

- YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT
ME IN THIRD PERSON.

I'M STANDIN' IN
FRONT OF YOU.

- I'M JUST SO UPSET I CAN POP
AND SCREAM RIGHT NOW, I GUESS.

- DON'T SCREAM.

- TAMAR IS TOTALLY FREAKING
OUT ABOUT TONI BEING LATE.

SHE'S KIND OF
LOST HER MIND.

- I MEAN, BUT THEY KNEW
WHAT TIME TO BE HERE.

ALL RIGHT, WE'VE BEEN TALKIN'
ABOUT THIS FOR THREE DAYS.

- CAN YOU MOVE YOUR HAIR?
- I'M JUST SO MAD.

- COME ON, LET'S GO SIT DOWN--
COME ON.

LET'S GO HAVE SOME
MOROCCAN WINE.

- THEY AIN'T GOT NONE--
WHERE'S TONI?

THIS PARTY IS REALLY
IMPORTANT TO ME,

AND I JUST CAN'T
LET TONI RUIN IT.

I JUST HOPE NOTHING
ELSE GOES WRONG.

- NO, I'VE NEVER BEEN
HERE BEFORE IN MY LIFE.

- WELL, YOU
KNOW WHAT?

I FIGURED NEW
EXPERIENCES.

- OKAY.
- NEW THINGS.

- I'M GONNA TELL YOU I
DON'T DO EXPERIENCE.

GONNA BE ALONG WITH
SOME DOMINOES.

WHAT KING OF FOOD
THEY GOT HERE?

- THEY GOT THE GOOD, GOOD--
- NO, THEY DON'T.

- UH-HUH.

- YOU HAVE FRIED CHICKEN AND
MASHED POTATOES ON THE MENU?

- VINCENT, IS A MEAT AND
POTATOES TYPE OF GUY.

HE WANTED SOME PORK CHOPS,
SOME FRIED CHICKEN,

SOME MASHED POTATOES,
MACARONI AND CHEESE,

COLLARD GREENS, CANDY YAMS
AND A BAKED PIE.

- HEY, Y'ALL.

- CHILL OUT-- I'M TALKIN'
TO SOME PEOPLE.

WHY YOU ALL IN
THIS CONVERSATION?

- WELL, YOU SHOULD
BE MORE NICE.

- I'M NOT
BOTHERIN' NOBODY.

- YOU SHOULD BE
MORE APPRECIATIVE

AT YOUR APPRECIATION DINNER.

- TAMAR, YOU SHOULD APPRECIATE
THAT I DON'T GET OUT OF THE CAR

AND GET BACK IN THE CAR
AND SAY I'M GOING DOWNTOWN.

WHAT'S THE HOTDOG
PLACE OVER THERE?

- THIS HERE IS
NOT COOL.ORG.

I'M TRYING TO GET VINCE IN
A GOOD MOOD SO HE CAN GO

AND DO MY ALBUM, AND WE
ALL AROUND HERE SITTIN'

LIKE SOME CRAZY PEOPLE,
WAITIN' ON TONI BRAXTON.

YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED
TO BE ON YOUR PHONE.

IT'S 8 O'CLOCK--
BUSINESS HOURS IS OVER.

- RIGHT NOW.
- STOP.

- NO, SERIOUSLY.

- FOR REAL?

I'M, LIKE, STRESSIN'
OUT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,

TONI'S NOT HERE AND VINCE IS
COMPLAININ' ABOUT THE FOOD,

AND NOW HE'S
TEXTING.

AND I'M JUST THINKIN' LIKE
THIS APPRECIATION PARTY

IS TURNING INTO "MY CAREER
IS IN JEOPARDY" PARTY.

- I'M GOING TO BE THROWING
VINCE AN APPRECIATION PARTY,

AND I'M GOING TO BE DOING
A BELLY DANCE PERFORMANCE

JUST TO REMIND HIM OF WHY
I NEED TO BE ON STAGE.

BUT TONI'S LATE,
AND I AM NERVOUS,

AND I JUST FEEL LIKE ALL OF
MY CHANCES OF DOING MY ALBUM

IS OUT OF
THE WINDOW.

IT-IT DIDN'T TURN OUT
RIGHT 'CAUSE TONI'S LATE.

OKAY-- AND WE'RE SITTIN' HERE
FOR AN EXTRA 45 MINUTES.

- TAMAR--
- AN HOUR.

- HI.

- NICE OF YOU TO JOIN US--
HI.

- I GOT LOST.

- AN HOUR AGO.

- BECAUSE YOU GUYS SAID
IT WAS OVER THERE.

I DIDN'T KNOW THIS LITTLE
MINI-SHOPPING CENTER.

I GOT LOST.

- TONI ALWAYS HAS
SOME KIND OF EXCUSE.

BUT I'M NOT GONNA LET
HER RUIN MY PARTY.

I HAVE SOME SURPRISES
UP MY SLEEVE.

WE'RE AT THE MOROCCAN
RESTAURANT,

AND TWO BELLY DANCERS
COME OUT,

AND I'M USED TO
SOME BELLY DANCERS

HAVIN' A LITTLE BIT OF ROLLS
ON THE SIDE OR IN THE FRONT.

BUT THIS ONE GIRL-- HER BELLY
WAS JUST REALLY LARGE.

SHE'S PREGNANT.

- I DON'T KNOW IF VINCENT
LOVED THE BELLY DANCING.

ONCE HE SAW THE PREGNANT
DANCING GIRL,

HE SAID TO TAMAR, "WHY IS
THE PREGNANT GIRL HERE?

"WHAT'S GOING ON?"

- SHE ROLLIN' HER BELLY
WITH A BABY IN IT.

WHO DOES THAT?

WHERE THEY
FIND HER AT?

I WAS SO
EMBARRASSED.

OKAY, WE READY.

AFTER THAT
PREGNANT BELLY DANCIN',

I NEED TO GIVE VINCE SOMETHING
HE'S GONNA ACTUALLY LOOK AT.

WE SET IT OFF.

YOU KNOW, WE WAS DOING
A LITTLE DANCIN' MOVE,

WAS SNAKIN' ON HIM, WAS
DRIVIN' IT TO THE FLOOR,

WE PICKED
IT BACK UP.

WE WAS DOING
THE DAMN THING.

WE JUST WANT TO SAY
THAT WE APPRECIATE...

- THE WALK.

- MY APPRECIATION
GIFT TO VINCENT WAS,

DING-DING-DING,
MYSELF-- HELLO.

WHO DOESN'T
APPRECIATE THAT?

- TEAR IT OFF.

TEAR IT OFF.

TEAR IT OFF.

TEAR IT OFF.

TEAR IT OFF.

TEAR IT OFF.

- READY-- READY?

- SERIOUSLY, TAMAR DIDN'T
WANT ME TO DO "PLAYBOY"

'CAUSE YOU
HAVE KIDS.

BUT SHE'S GIVIN' VINCE
A NUDE PICTURE OF HER

IN FRONT OF MY KIDS,
TRINA'S KIDS,

TOWANDA'S KIDS, AND THE PEOPLE
AT THE RESTAURANT KIDS.

I THINK MY BROTHER-IN-LAW,
VINCENT,

WAS A LITTLE BIT
EMBARRASSED BY THE PICTURE.

- GO BACK OVER THERE.

- VINCENT WAS A LITTLE
SHOCKED THAT HIS WIFE

DID A PHOTO LIKE THIS--
A HALF-NAKED PHOTO.

- I TOLD TAMAR SHE SHOULD GIVE
HIM THE PICTURE IN PRIVATE,

BUT YOU KNOW TAMAR.

- TAMAR'S GIFT TO VINCENT COULD
NOT HAVE BEEN ANY MORE VAIN.

VINCENT DIDN'T
LIKE IT AT ALL.

- I THINK IT MADE HIM JUST
A LITTLE EMBARRASSED.

YOU KNOW, I'M NOT REALLY
SURE IF HE LIKED IT OR NOT.

HE ONLY SAID,
"OH, THAT'S GREAT."

AND HE NEVER
TALKED ABOUT IT.

HE STILL HASN'T
SAID ANYTHING ELSE.

I JUST THINK MY APPRECIATION
PARTY WAS NOT APPRECIATED.

- I WANT TO CHALLENGE YOU
TO PUT THE ALCOHOL DOWN.

- WHAT-- LIKE RIGHT
THIS SECOND?

- TAMAR INVITES US
TO COME TO MARYLAND

TO KIND OF FACE OUR
DEMONS WITH OUR DAD.

- TONI, YOU HAVE TO GO--
WE HAVE TO GO.

- TOWANDA.

- HUH?

- GET THE [deleted]
OFF MY PROPERTY.

- PLEASE, SEND A SQUAD CAR
TO PICK TONI BRAXTON UP.

SHE'S TRESPASSIN'.

- THEY DON'T HAVE
A BIG DOG, DO THEY?
