December 23, 2019, marked a day when the term 'Slay Queen' became a topic of discussion. But how can you identify a 'Slay Queen' without misjudging innocent women?
Below are some characteristics of what is in a 'Slay Queen's' DNA:
1. Expensive Wigs, Cheap Taste ¶
One of the easiest ways to identify a 'Slay Queen' is by her wig. She may pretend to wear expensive wigs, but most of them are not authentic, often sourced from River Road.
2. Fake Luxury Lifestyle ¶
She may pretend to rock 'expensive' wigs, yet most of them cannot even afford to buy themselves a drink or take a cab home.
3. Long Nails, Little Practicality ¶
'Slay Queens' mostly have extremely long nails that leave you wondering how they handle bathroom business. Most pay someone to do their laundry, and their nails are often too long to be practical.
4. Incongruent Taste ¶
They will pick the most expensive drinks and food just to prove they have class, despite living on a shoestring budget.
5. Exotic Accent, Limited Travel ¶
She may have an exotic accent but has never been south of Namanga. Her attitude is not even big enough to pay off Kenya's debt to China.
6. Cracked Phone Screen ¶
Most cannot handle their alcohol, and their phone screen pays for it by cracking from falling many times.
7. Unwalkable Heels ¶
She wobbles rather clumsily with heels and what's worse is the shoe is worn out.
8. Overly Secure Phone ¶
Such women have so many men in their lives, and they cannot have their secrets uncovered. They have passwords for everything to their phone gallery, SMS, and WhatsApp.
9. First-Name Basis with Local Plug ¶
She is on a first-name basis with the local plug, often to avoid confusion and to keep her personal life private.
10. Long Braids, Little Practicality ¶
Her braids are so long they can sweep the floor, making you wonder if you should hire someone to hold them for her.
