Slay queens have captured the universe and we can no longer ignore them. These super stars are everywhere, at work, at the market, in matatus, in class; they have simply dominated. But do you ever wonder what it takes to be a slay queen?
Rule number one, dominate the social media. Slay queens have accounts everywhere! On twitter, instagram, whatsapp, skype, telegram and multiple facebook accounts. What’s more interesting? They have different names for all their accounts and a different one on their national IDs! Names like felishaniz, bootylicious, and sweetgal are one of a slayqueens starter pack.
Rule number two, take your pics with curved legs. Yes, it’s against the slay queens’ doctrine to take photos while standing upright, like any other person. Be it selfies or group photos, if you are a slay queen, always have your legs curved!
Thirdly, have the accent. Spice up how you talk. Don’t leave out phrases like, “oh my gooosh” and “whareva”. Put the tweng’ my sister! If you are narrating a story to someone, spice it up with saying, “you know….” In between the sentences. That’s what slayers do.
Put on makeup! Tonnes and tones of it. Shop for mascara, lipstick, lip liners, eye pencil, lip balms, foundations, creams, name them. As a slayer, you ought to be as colorful as a rainbow. One caution maybe, beware of the weather. Don’t let the rain beat you. You will not like to see all your makeup erode!
Lastly, own a choker, several heels and some pair of Adidas shoes, preferably white. Keep your nails manicured and hair neat. Then have some packet of gum to keep you chewing your way through the day. With that, you got the full starter pack of a slay queen. Happy slaying!
