I don’t know if you know this. But if I have the final word in fashion, the queen has the final word in deciding whether I live or die.
The funniest thing happened to me at the airport yesterday. Me and my bad bitches were on our way back from our spring break trip to the FLA and we were in the Tampa airport in line for security. Thank god I was wearing a crop top, shorts and a blazer. Not only did I look phenomenal, but it was easy to step in the future metal detector and have it be obvious I wasn’t hiding WMD’s in the collective foot and a half of clothing I was wearing. Now sometimes when you go on vacation you go shopping. Globviously I did. I bought badass Steve Madden heels in a royal blue suede that made it look like I just stepped off the set of ANTM. Since I am an overpacking psycho, I had zero room in my carry on and my book bag for aforementioned badass heels. So, I shoved my Rainbows in my book bag and strapped up in my pumps.
Now. Picture this: me, a 5’10” diva strutting down the TPA hallway with a half shaved head and legs for miles. Pretty awesome right? I know. Anyhow, the point is some woman tapped me on the shoulder in line for TSA and I turned around and looked down at her. I said “Hi” cheerfully and she looked up at me (she was like a full foot beneath my towering figure) and didn’t say anything for about 10 seconds. I looked at her, beaming, and said “Can I help you?” Not in a sassy way but in a slightly confused way. She then proceeded with this:
“Do you realize you are wearing shorts and high heels in the airport?”
Um. Yes.
“Why would you do a thing like that?”
(Feciciously [as if I need to specify]) Well ma’am, you see I am what they call a diva. Have you ever heard of Beyonce Knowles?
“That’s not you, be yourself. I know you are yourself under all that.”
Double um. No I’d rather be Beyonce than myself! (I added delighted)
“They have therapy for that, dear. Believe me, I’ve been through it.”
AND OBVIOUSLY YOU NEED TO GO BACK THINKING YOU CAN JUDGE ME ALL UP IN THIS AIRPORT.
I didn’t really say that last part. I was too shocked and violated to say anything after that.
Lady, you don’t know where I come from, what I do, what I’ve been through and who I am. Let me do me, playa.
Then several things occured to me as I walked away. You can pick which dick response you would have liked me to say that most:
- Well, yes I am wearing shorts and heels that I designed. I am on my way back to New York to debut my spring line in my first, headlining fashion show.
- I am an airplane model. I have to run out to the tarmac in this and pose by a 737. And can you believe they are only paying me 2.3 million dollars?!
- I’m sorry that you had to notice and not everyone is privy to this information but I am an escort. The airport is the best place to make money! I have to put myself through college somehow, don’t I? This degree in astrophysics isn’t going to earn itself! 20, 40, 60.
