I am your professor (lucky you)
and today we will be reviewing a 5-step crash course on how to be an icon 💋🪩🕺
STEP 1: Wake up sexy as hell, again.
As the shirt says, you need to start your day off with a motto to get you going. Personally, I have a mirror right above my bed which allows me to be reminded of a fantastic motto… aka my sexiness… as soon as I wake up. Why do I have a mirror right above my bed? Maybe I’m a narcissist… maybe I’m just not a very good interior designer. The world may never know.
Fun fact: My mom bought me this shirt. Heather knows what’s up.
STEP 2: Wear an over-the-top outfit to add a little flair to your day
Now you may be like “Sasha, do you seriously wear THAT just to sit around the house all day?!?” Fine, you caught me. I don’t wear sunglasses inside. Whatever. But other than that the answer is absolutely I do. And I do this for two reasons.
- If there is a fire and I have to leave the house immediately… at least I’ll look good.
- If Zendaya one day just decided to knock upon my door… I can’t look like a bum.
If those aren’t reason enough for you then I dunno what is.
STEP 3: Drink coffee and matcha religiously
Exhibit A: me in my natural habitat with my overpriced matcha making kit.
Besides matcha’s many health benefits, it also just looks cool to drink. You could drink water… BORING…. or you could drink the sexiest beverage to ever be made. I recommend the latter.
Repeat step 3 repeatedly throughout the day for desired results 😩
STEP 4: The “Maneater” mindset
Your mindset can come from a lot of different places, but I love using music as a vessel for inspiration. Ever heard of Nelly Furtado? She always said it best.
“You either wanna be with me, or be me.” Mindset is everything and this type of thinking always boosts my confidence when I’m a bit down.
And this quote applies to you too, not just me. Have you seen yourself??? You have to be the most perfect human being in the history of mankind. Smart, attractive, kind, funny… of course everyone wants to either be you or date you. Quite logical. Believe it.
Step 5: Doing whatever tf you want
Growing up, I always enjoyed putting underwear on my head. Do I still do this at 18 years old? No. But, for five years of my life that was my favorite thing to do. Later, my favorite thing was dying my hair and getting piercings. I was in 4th grade with 10 ear piercings and blue & purple hair. I brought my stuffed pig named Harold to school every day for two years. I made incredibly cringey raps about Greek mythology.
The point is…
These seemingly embarrassing things were what made me happy. Writing this blog might seem stupid to some people, but it makes me happy. Don’t be embarrassed to do what you want to do. You’ll regret holding back later and you’ll be even happier once you do it. So, post that picture, wear that outfit, eat that food, laugh obnoxiously, go to the party… in a couple days it won’t matter anymore.
This post was a 5-step crash course on how to become an icon, but an icon is truly just someone proud enough to be themselves.
I love who you are and you should too. Stay weird. ❤️
