Hoes is Winning Bandwagon

The “Hoes is Winning” Bandwagon

            For a while now I have been hearing the phrase “hoes is (are) winning.” And I haven’t paid any close attention to it until I recently came across another blog a little while ago. What was said in that blog encouraged me to write my own view and thoughts on such a topic that seems to be dominating this generation and it’s starting to become a bother how bad this generation is getting. It kills me to see some girls glorifying and idolizing after strippers, reality TV stars and the “not so unknown” girls marrying rappers and athletes. Now I call them this because you practically see them everywhere being showcased like prize possessions and sometimes the thoughts occur in my head like “I wonder what it is she does”. And I’m sitting here like “my how times have changed.” Because when I was growing up, being anything like a stripper was frowned upon, and now it’s no big deal and slowly but surely becoming a regular 9-5 job.

         When I was growing up, my uncle used to tell me, you should never be a hoe, become a hoe, or something along those lines, because you would only be remembered for being that, and that will never be something people will forget. That was maybe 10 to 12 years ago, I’m 22 now going on 23 and it seems as though he was wrong because “your hoeness can be deleted” –Draya Michelle. Now I’m not the type to pick on people, or “hate” on them, but what I’m about to say, will hopefully open up the eyes to the readers of this blog. Times have changed because people are falling in love with the ideas of these vixens who become famous for being a hoe or doing hoe’ish things. It’s hard for girls to stay focused on what really matters like going or staying in school and actually becoming something that will make a difference. Instead, some of them or probably considering not going to school or getting a job because being a hoe or vixen seems to be better and more praised.

I’m tired of seeing the Lira Galore’s, Blac Chyna’s, Masika’s, the Clermont twins and the Kim K’s, just to name a few, getting praised and show cased like they’re the most influential women in the world when they are nothing more than opportunist. What about Michelle Obama or Oprah Winfrey? Women who went to school, who are brilliant and are actually inspirational. It’s sickening seeing these vixens who has used their bodies or sex to get where they are. Kim K, got famous from a sex tape, but we all knew that and now she’s married to a rapper with two kids, hence the phrase “hoes is winning,” implying because she “was” a hoe, she lucked up and got married…a few times and her mother took her fame and well, you know the rest. Blac Chyna, was a stripper who got pregnant by her rapper boyfriend, and now the new thot on the block (I know this might be mean, but I thought it was funny, and it rhymes) is Lira Galore, a stripper from Philly that’s “engaged” to rapper Rick Ross and even had the thoughts of marrying practically the whole MMG. It’s crazy how rappers use to rap about never “wifing” hoes, to back tracking and eating their words and started “wifing” hoes, and now you got some rappers on Instagram apologizing to, and shouting out the good girls for doing what we’re doing, but then they turn around and go right back to the hoes they once shamed.

And this might not sound as bad as I’m making it seem, but it’s getting out of hand when girls like this call themselves models and actresses-hence, the opportunist. What movie or television show have you made an appearance in? What run way have you walked down? What (high end fashion) magazine have you posed for, other than a magazine that does nothing but show off a body that got you the attention you have now, or used your “sex appeal” to sell their magazine? These girls (because I refuse to call them women), use these traits to get what they want because it’s the easy way out. They use their hoe fame and try to turn it around into cheap clothing lines, makeup lines, and party promotions, with hopes that people will forget where they originally came from.

I’m tired of them using this easy route when women like myself work their asses off in college and are trying to become something that seems to have been played out or not equally praised as being a hoe. And no I’m not mad that I chose college, rather than picked a quick gimmick, I’m glad I did, that’s just the grind I chose and prefer. It’s sad when some girls actually consider becoming these girls because it’s easier and pays quick and use the phrase “Hoes is Winning,” that’s what the problem is, that’s what’s wrong. So I’m here to say, stay in school, stay working and making legit money that you didn’t have to strip or pose nude for, because in about 20-30 years, these girls won’t have anything worth living off of, while us women, will be retired living off our wealth, respect and dignity.
