AALIYAH ON FADER’S ICON ISSUE

1 vote

Does everybody have an Aaliyah T-shirt? Gang Gang Dancer Lizzi Bougatsos has one. Chromeo dude Dave 1 has one. I have one too—it’s black, cotton, incredibly comfortable and emblazoned with a grainy photo from the Aaliyah album cover. I was wearing it last summer when a little girl stopped me on the street. “You know about Aaliyah?” She couldn’t have been older than seven—putting her birth around the time of Aaliyah’s death—but she was obviously a fan. I could only return the question: “You know about Aaliyah?” She rolled her eyes at me and smirked. “Everybody knows about Aaliyah,” she said. Then she flashed another look, realizing that she and I were both a part of “everybody.” Then she ran off to catch up with her friends.
