And what is this he/she/it business? You can't decide what gender I am just like your fave can't decide whose sack she wants slapping her chin? Is it an eenie-miney-moe with the both of us? Is your TUCK game that smooth and seamless that you can move through genders as easily as you imagined I could in your insult? You wanna give me some lessons? Are you the next Conchita?
Don't play with me. You're not gonna come up off me the way #SHE has come up off the hard work of others. Now eject, reject.
Well... that was corny. Anyways I bolded the important part which shows why this thread was really started in the first place. Good day, Venus.
This child really convinced I'm Venus like you're going to get me punched out and screencap it to your fave and she gawn rihply to you and be so proud.

rihanna is famous, she is not. that's why Rihanna is being credited for this style. it's not her fault. There is no reason to confront Rihanna for this. Confront E!, those blogs etc... Rihanna is just wearing whatever the **** she wants to wear... because she can.
instead of bitching about this she should be proactive and put whatever money she was putting into it somewhere else... like advertise your own blog or website, djing, or whatever on more popular websites, get in contact with mtv, start a partnership with a popular fashion blog or try and score your own little segment of sorts with one... anything....
if she just gives up because of this, then she was never that passionate in the first place.
It's like when Madonna stole 'Vogue' from ball culture and is now credited for "voguing". It sucks when someone who is rich and famous is credited for something those not in that position created.
!!! Especially when the people who originate these trends remain poor, but it's not really Madonna or Rihanna's fault. It's up to the media to properly research and tell the whole story and the GP to stop treating people's everyday cultures as temporary bandwagons.
Stop being so damn ignorant I feel so sorry for her. How would you feel if you would work on a idea or a concept yourself created so ****ing hard and then someone just spreads it and makes it mainstream ?
This must be one of the most frustrating feelings in the world.
I know her since she worked with M.I.A. on her tour together (as a DJ) and made remixes for her . She was quite well known
in the NY underground club scene.
Ms. Soto is a first-generation American born to a Dominican mother and an Ecuadorean father. She grew up in Washington Heights and says that she learned to leapfrog different demographics at an early age. “My worldview is the result of all the stuff that went down in the city in the ’80s and ’90s,” she said, including one day, she said, when she and her brother had to dodge gunfire on the way to school.
Ms. Soto credited an ex-boyfriend for teaching her how to D.J., and mentions a book she borrowed from a recent ex-girlfriend in the next breath. She cited both the black-power meetings she attended as a teenager and the bubble-gum feminism of the Spice Girls as ideological influences.
She is also a dexterous street-style chameleon, describing her wardrobe as “freakish cosplay,” short for costume play, “mixed with goth and the hood.” During the day, this might mean baggy pants and a halter top that suggests a ’90s raver; at night, a sprayed-on leopard miniskirt with a cropped pink jacket that wouldn’t look out of place on the rapper Lil’ Kim; a white T-shirt and Timberland boots when visiting her extended family (“they’re deeply Catholic”). She also constantly alters the color and style of her hair, which for six months was a shade of green that resembled oxidized copper (it is now back to black).
Ms. Soto first drew attention in the art/fashion/music/night-life nexus through GHE20GOTH1K (pronounced “Ghetto Gothic”), a party she hosts alongside her best friend, Shayne Oliver, who designs the label Hood by Air, and the producer Physical Therapy.
It began at the Beauty Bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, then bounced over to the Gallery Bar on the Lower East Side as well as a handful of undisclosed locations (like a sweltering hot basement across the street from a tortilla manufacturer in Bushwick).
Within a year, GHE20GOTH1K was widely recognized as reanimating New York’s underground night life. It was one of the few parties where a wide cross section of the city — gay and straight, black and white, goths, punks, hip-hop heads, artists, music snobs, fashion designers like Mr. Ervell and even the occasional celebrity like Diplo — came to dance under one roof. Ms. Soto said she views D.J.-ing for such a diverse audience as a defiantly political act, and frequently peppers sound clips from the Al Jazeera news network, audio from the riots in Egypt and sound pings from submarines into her sets.
I feel so sorry for her. How would you feel if you would work on a idea or a concept yourself created so ****ing hard and then someone just spreads it and makes it mainstream ?
