@AFeranmi51972 It’s a collection of coming of age stories from a Black millennial perspective. The adventures I write about took place in the late 90s & early 2000s & is a cross between “No Disrespect” & “Airtight Willie & Me”

[LADY SILK @AlltheFlyThings]

Okkkk!! The girls had a DAY!! Not only did I (almost/slightly) finish the 3nd pressing of my zine “The Smoke Break Confessions”, but I also FINALLY finished the first draft of “That One Weekend I Almost Forgot About” 👏🏿👏🏿

Despite all the setbacks I did what I set out to do today

[LADY SILK @AlltheFlyThings]

Put me in your art, I’ll put you in mine

I’ve had songs/poems written about me & for me but they really wasn’t about me or for me. I can tell when it’s surface.

Inspiration & muses are two different things

[LADY SILK @AlltheFlyThings]

@Jesspolished I went to their reunion/farewell show & all 5 members were there but Bizzy was definitely the Beyonce of the group 😂

Even if you don’t go to library just signing up for a free card helps libraries get funding. Sign up for card in your city!!!

[LADY SILK @AlltheFlyThings]

Just seen Slick Rick in a pair of platforms wallabies & immediately got pissed off. But I’m not sure if it’s cause I want a pair or if it’s cause now I’m wondering if he’s always worn flatform shoes??

[LADY SILK @AlltheFlyThings]

Vigorously washing my hands, drying them off with toilet paper, using that paper to open the door & Kobe’ing it into the trashcan then digging into my purse only to realize that I have no lotion.

A short horror story by Silk

[LADY SILK @AlltheFlyThings]

My stories are BLACKASSFUCK & the people reading are not & they not even the audience so I just don’t want to deal with no bullshit. They tried to get J to lesson up the slang & shes 50, I know they ain’t gone know what a bando or blunt berry is but that ain’t my problem

[LADY SILK @AlltheFlyThings]

Took all gatdam day but I formatted “That One Weekend” (including page numbers & chapters which I’ve never done before) edited the 8 pg excerpt for my memoir class, included my questions & sent it off to be read & critiqued by my peers. Idk why I’m so nervous. Yes I do it’s cause

[LADY SILK @AlltheFlyThings]

I’m supposed to be meeting with my new writing group today. They’ve already changed the time twice, now one in a whole nother location & the other say she gone be 10 min late. Anytime I’m the first person here via BIKE mind you AND I’m late I just know it’s gone be a problem smh

[LADY SILK @AlltheFlyThings]

Oh Remy snapped 🔥🔥🔥

[LADY SILK @AlltheFlyThings]

Got my sculpture back & it looks scary af but I like the colors lol. It’s cool for my first one. The jewelry was all a failure 😂

I’ve decided to focus on learning how to sculpt Black faces with Black ass features & Black ass hairstyles.

With a lil bit of whimsy added ofc

[LADY SILK @AlltheFlyThings]

That depends on my mood & the conversation 😂😂

Nelda “The Real Queen B”

She was the fly round the way girl that Lil Kim, Mary & Misa emulated, the originator and a celebrated high-low fashionista

Her style lives on forever. Iconic

[♪♪🎧ྀི ⋆.ೃ࿔🌸*:･♪♪ MetalFlowerz ♪♪⋆.ೃ࿔🌸*:･🎧ྀི♪♪ @WALASIA]

Do u guys know there was a real life hustler and fly Lady in Brooklyn New York called Queen B or Queen Bee?! She wore blonde wigs and furs and also was known for colorful wigs and hairstyles that complemented her high fashion and name brand as well as Dapper Dan attire.

Many attribute Lil Kim’s styling and fashion and D-Girl adjacent persona and lyrics to being an homage to the real Queen B!!!

[LADY SILK @AlltheFlyThings]

@WALASIA @auntymurda Yesss I wrote about her on my old fashion & style blog! Her name was Nelda 💜💜💜

[LADY SILK @AlltheFlyThings]

I was working at Rally’s.
We used to act a fool up there lol

[Mr.Karlous @KarlousM]

What fast food spot did you work at? I worked at Burger King in high school. The people who worked at McDonald’s thought they were at the top of the food chain. Taco Bell would hire anybody. Wendy’s didn’t really hire too many people in high school for real.

[LADY SILK @AlltheFlyThings]

There was a man in the gym this am that smelled specifically of spaghetti and meatballs, heavy on the meatballs & I got to wondering if he ate thst for breakfast at 5:45 or if that’s the smell of his windowless house for the next few days.

[Ms.K @mskmalibu]

You have to wear your clothes and use your perfumes and eat that delicious food and dance to the music and talk to that person and live your life

[LADY SILK @AlltheFlyThings]

My daddy is the first one to tell you I talk slick. He know I get it from him so he lowkey be proud but hate it when I pull a him on him even better than he would. We banter weekly so it ain’t shit a nigga out here could ever tell me to pump fear in my heart

[museofthesun @solarystix]

I like to befriend women who used to argue with they daddy growing up or fought back against him. Just like me! You fear nothing in this life once you’ve done that.
