I feel like males dominate Blipsterdom, since it is easy for them to adapt to new styles. However, most girls who are alt and want to be blipster-core have a more difficult time showcasing their personal brand. Fortunately, mainstream hiphop star and multiple Grammy & Oscar award winner, M.I.A. provided a template which they could use to springboard their personal brand.

This is the M.I.Alt. I just hope that females in the Africalt-American community feel more ‘empowered’ than previous mainstreamers who feel like they have to adapt to hiphop stereotypes. Not every1 has 2 be a ‘video girl’ doing some sort of dance that showcases ur figure. The blipster aesthetic is generally unisexable, so hope that every1 who wants 2 b ‘themselves’ can be ‘themselves.’

“Blippin Ain’t EZ.”
-blipsters who are made fun of bc their pants r 2 tight

Have yall ever seen n e MIAlts out in public?
Or are most African American Female Alts trying to look like their white group of AltFriends?

XX BONUS CRITTER CRAWLING UP MY BELLY XX

I like keut kritters
and my fave indie label is Paw Tracks
home of Animal Collective, Panda Bear, and Ariel Pink
therefore I created a metaphorical trail
a path worn by a cute lil critter
from my birth hole
up my body
A new life.
And I took the road less traveled by
and that has made all the difference.
