Transcript
Don't know this about me, but I love fashion. Okay? I didn't always understand it, and I couldn't always afford it. Setting, sixth grade. Aeropostale is the hottest shit walking Good green earth. Do you understand me? You put that shit on, your ass gets better, your hair grows longer, and now you're tax exempt. I don't know the science. I just know the results. My mother's raising three kids dolo. We go to Goodwill. I search rack better rack after rack. I find a baby blue Aeropostale hoodie. This is my devil worse Prada. This is my couture. I go to school the next day like I'm walking in Paris Fashion Week. I tell everybody I got it from Goodwill because I'm thinking that everybody shops at Good. Just like I thought everybody knew what layaway was. Apparently not. One girl laughed so motherfucking loud, the bitch breaks the sound barrier. I thought we were under attack. That day I learned a really good lesson, but it was a wrong lesson. Fashion is not for me, but for everyone else. Until the week good, I better an email. Lee, you've been invited to Brooklyn Fashion Week. Shout out no Sid. Certified bad.
