After a few weeks in LA, I took off back to Miami. I didn’t want to spend Thanksgiving alone for the second year in a row. I landed in Miami and from the moment I got there I had the best time. I was going out a lot but, being responsible. That wasn’t how I used to behave in Miami. I was wilder when I was younger. I also looked at homes in Miami hoping to move there. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING was available. I’m so picky. I looked from Coral Gables to Sunny Isles and didn’t find one place I loved. The days just passed by. I kept thinking “I need to work. I need to talk to the people. Attend to my business.” I felt myself becoming more private and closed off. I kept asking myself why I was feeling so blocked. My real life was really happy and fun but, why didn’t I feel like jumping on here and sharing it all with you?! From the moment I launched my website, it’s been non-stop DEEP emotional honesty. I gave you guys ALL of me very fast. I didn’t know that I would hit a wall or just need to take a minute to myself. I didn’t realize it would emotionally drain me. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if being so real and open is so easy then why isn’t everyone doing it? It’s fucking hard. I’m judged for everything I’ve shared on here. Yes, my supporters and members love this platform but, I’ve gotten a lot of hate behind the scenes. Some people don’t understand it, while others are simply jealous they can’t do it. By January, just after the most amazing New Year's Eve, it really started to confuse me as to what to do with Still That Bitch and which city I was going to live in. All I had to do was share with you how I was feeling, and you would understand but, I couldn’t seem to get it on paper. After being locked inside for 8 months, all of a sudden I’m out making up for lost time, really enjoying myself. I felt liberated to live life after all the uncertainty surrounding Covid-19. I went to Tulum for the first time. It was a really short trip because of the weather. Only 2 nights, then to Cabo all while wondering why I had no interest in documenting/blogging any of it. At the same time, I would constantly think about how I wanted this platform to evolve. How I can be interesting without always being so deep/emotional and without gossip/drama. Im getting older and it’s normal to change and grow. I’m not going to become some makeup blogger tomorrow but, maybe I ease my way into all different lighter posts, not just deep difficult topics.
At the end of January, I went back to LA and back to work. I started working on the next 3 drops for STB Apparel, designing my next swim collection with LANIMAL, and shooting my new bodysuit collection that comes out in 2 weeks. STB Apparel production got all backed up do to the pandemic. I was stressed but determined to stay focused. I also started looking for a new house in LA which was also nearly impossible. Again, I’m just way too picky. I’m going to have to build a house if I ever want it to be perfect for me. Anyway, I was working and looking at houses every day while trying to figure out why my brain had no interest in jumping on here and posting. Literally, nothing would come to mind. It was constant confusion. I guess writer's block really is a thing? Or am I just happy in real life and for once can relax? I don’t know but, it felt very irresponsible. I’ve already put myself out there so what’s the big deal, right? I want to change direction while still being myself. I want to give you guys lighter topics mixed with more positivity. When I launched in 2020 it was the beginning of the mess the world was about to be. We had no idea what the fuck was going on. A year later, here we are and I’m beyond grateful. This website kept me connected and eager in a time of uncertainty. You all know “wild fun” Morgan, but there’s a lot more to me. The world needs more love and laughter. Positivity and hope. I’ll be spending the next few weeks moving and getting settled. These posts take usually take 18-24 hours, sometimes days with pictures and blah blah. I want to give you guys more now that I’ve had this platform for a year and see how much you guys really appreciate connecting with me. I want to be able to have a private life and still share myself with you. So, I want to know, what would YOU like to see more of? Pictures? Video? Topics? Beauty? Fashion? Giveaways? Should I incorporate a “Chat With Me” feature so you guys can connect with me even more. Ask questions about beauty/life and get advice? I think it would be really fun. I’m open to all suggestions. I promise I won’t disappear like that again lol. On one hand I felt guilt and, on the other, I felt real life peace and happiness. I just needed to balance it all and I suck at that. Work in progress. I know one thing for sure, I enjoy this platform and only want it to grow. Let me know in the comments below 🤍 and thank you for still being here, supporting me through it all.
Sincerely,
That Bitch!

Wanted to know if the surgery for cat eye lasted or an update on how the surgery from turkey lasted. I know people go but a lot of it doesn’t last I was interested in going but I wanted to hear from you first. Also you should put your clothing line here maybe put early arrivals on here just for members to buy. I tried to buy one of your jumpsuits but it was out already. And yes of course something with your new love life <3

Hi Morgan! I’m new here but have been following you for years now and I absolutely love you. I’ve always admired how real you are and just how independent and strong you are! I’d love to see more fashion and beauty, but really anything you throw at us would be amazing!🤎

Hi Morgan,
I know I’m a little late but welcome back!
Regarding what I would personally like to hear about from you is ..you obviously have experienced more than me that’s for sure & I’ve followed you for a long time now. Would you please share some of the most import life lessons you’ve learned & why you realize they’re important. Kind of like if you could speak to your younger self & help her out. Also, what are things you live by now that wish you would have lived by sooner. – Thank you!

What happened with your ex? Are you still with the gorgeous man from New Years?
March 26, 2021
Was thinking that you seldom update and you probably would have updated a post on this website. Glad to hear from you here. You could probably give advices to your followers because you’re so cool and real! Fan of your from the lil country, Singapore (which you’ve visited during pp opening). Could somehow guessed that you’re unhappy around that period and especially near that trip and a breakup was nearby. Glad to see you relaxing now and taking a break from social media. All the best in whatever you do!

Morgan,
The cheer I had when I saw you made a new post. I have to say, I’ve watched you from your early days when you modeled in MIA Swim-week for Lily Ghlaichi & Jenifer Stano’s brand. ( I think this before Miami Monkey). Anyways – watching you grow is truly so fun & entertaining. But now reading your blog posts & using this STB platform really makes me understand you more. Hearing you sound so relaxed and positive about this chapter in your life, im curious to know how your new relationship is going, what do you want as your end goal for STB, and just seeing what is making you happy these day.
Glad you are back bby!

Would like to hear what happened with your ex bf, new bf and why your moving

Hey Morgan!!
Welcome back :) first off: to anyone who reached out to you in a rude way asking where you’ve been and you’ve changed are inhumane and I’m so sorry you received those messages. You’re human just like the rest of us, we have our ups and downs. Some days productive and some days not so much so please do not apologize for your absence. As a day 1 follower, this is what makes you the unique influencer on Instagram. You’re not “fake”. You don’t have a manager or assistant behind your account writing things for you or posting stories solely for “entertainment” and to keep your page “active and engaged.” Whoever is following you just for that are following you for the wrong reasons. I am aware you are not like that and that’s why I love following you, it’s like following a friend I’ve known forever :) keep it up and please don’t change that. In regards to your future content, I would love a make up routine, hair routine, products you use for hair and makeup, tips, favorite recipes, etc :) honestly routines are also best too! Thanks love xx
March 20, 2021
Honestly, when I noticed you were “MIA” I hoped it was out of pure bliss. I am truly relieved to read your absence wasn’t a result of trauma/drama. You’re human. Once again: you’re human. Do you and never underestimate the value of self care. Glad you hear you’re well! You look amazing per usual!
XOXO, Layla

I’m happy you’re back and took a step back for you.. we all need it time to time! We missed the #1 Bitch though!!! <3 As far as more posts goes, I think I’d like to see a “come shopping with me” or “a hair tutorial” or “how to close business deals and communicate/work with manufacturers”. I’m currently starting my own business and it’d be nice to receive a few tips/pointers from someone who knows what they want, doesn’t settle, and knows how to handle it. I look forward to future posts :)
So I was hesitant to share this but TRUE STORY: so a few weeks ago I stayed at Wynn in Las Vegas and went to Chanel. It was my birthday and I bought a few things for myself — super fun! Anyways, around that time, you had just recently posted a pic of yourself wearing these Chanel hoop-like earrings. When I saw them on you I was like damn I need these. I was telling my good friend and SA Chris at Chanel at Wynn in Vegas about these earrings on you.. I showed him your pic with you wearing them and he said he believes/knows he’s seen you before in his store. I got the earrings btw.. but I wanted to let you know that every time I wear them it reminds me to always be THAT bitch and in order to be THAT bitch it takes a lot of guts, time, and trials in life to do so. Being THAT bitch is definitely a title that’s earned and not just given to any body. You’re truly an inspiration and I’m definitely rooting for you girl.. you’ve come a long way and I’m so proud of you. Keep being you because you’re inspiring so many. You’ve definitely inspired me. :)
March 18, 2021
I’d love to hear some business stories. I think it’s hard when you’re a creator & it’s your life sometimes it feels “boring / uninteresting” to us, but people love it, it doesn’t have to be drama to be interesting. Sometimes simplicity is what people love the most! Whatever flows and feels authentic to you is what you should post. Don’t worry about others ❤️
March 17, 2021
Welcome back!! Glad you’re happy girly!! I love the growth and spreading positivity. I hope your share the deets on the NYE kiss and the lucky guy!
March 17, 2021
Hi Morgan! You seem much happier;)) I think we all saw the new man you posted too! Haha I personally would love more fashion, Q+ A, get ready videos and positivity! Love this direction you are taking

Love this post! You’re a paradox bby – so much more than meets the eye!
You’ll figure out where you want to take this blog, and where you want to move – and it will be perfect.
Maybe ask a Q on IG for people
Seeking advice or if they have questions for you- I feel like Morgan Advice would be very appreciated, probably also hilarious, light hearted and empowering!
As always, proud of you!

Sometimes when you’re focusing on other things, time flies by and you just haven’t had the time to post. I love your blog, I feel like I can relate to you more than just on your Instagram. If possible, touch on your goals and how to ignore the hate from others. I would find that really helpful, especially now because things are going to be opening up and we need to stay in tune with ourselves without the distractions that are about to come. Morgan, you’re awesome. Sending love from NYC
March 16, 2021
Would love to see “get ready with me videos” since you always look so bomb when you go out! Or even what you pack when you go on trips. Fashion hauls or styling videos. Missed your posts 💕
March 16, 2021
Blog/show BTS at the next STB shoot – talk about how you get inspired for STB collections, select fabrics and how you want to photograph the products when you’re ready to sell them
March 16, 2021
Ms. Morgan, we love you, no matter what! And its just a time out for you but a mystery time for us to wonder how you are doing? It sweetens the pot!!! Its all understood, you got a life you must live, Jesus to had a following and they had their ear to the ground to His every word, but Jesus to went off to travel the land to find His place and do his work. U R no different, darling. AND as a fashion designer and CEO of Still That Bitch Coorperation…and it is! You too must travel and put down the electrioncs; the gadgets and live and breath. Creating is time comsuimng and like Eddie Van Halen stated, He lost more money when creating then performing Keeping up with the daily instagram posts is tough…. and for what, give us what you want when you want that makes it more substance, but its always all great from you, but not many others. Great idea to chat w/people, even do your own PODCAST from your home. Market yourself as you have and as I had stated I can still can see you having one day “The Hollywood Red Carpet BallGown Collection.” YES!! Please show us your new place!! There is a home “a mansion” in Florida 935 Hillsbro Mile in Hillsbro Florida. “Millionaire Mile” you need to take a look at that home-google it!!!! ITS STUNNING THE BACKYARD AND MASTER BEDROOM!!! Stay well and safe on your new journey and always stay rooted and grounded w/GOD!!! Always w/love Cynthia “Who’s lookin’ at you now Darling, your loyal fans!! Cuz we love you for being you.”

LOVE everything you mentioned! Put out whatever you feel inspired to put out into the universe! Your individualistic flare is why I’ve followed you for years! Love the concept of interacting more and being able to ask lil life advice tidbits so long as it’s not overwhelming for you!

Talk about hotels and what is worth the splurge what isn’t! etc etc
