Missy Elliott Trash Bag… We Mean Suit! Elliott FINALLY Speaks On It
FUN FACT: Go to Google and start typing ” Missy Elliott Trash Bag ” in the search; and you are going to come across a FLURRY of images of Missy in one of her most iconic looks. Seriously, try it (Lol).
You won’t even be able to finish typing it in before it pops up. Which means, there are a lot of beings out there who grew up; or still believe Missy got down in her music video for her single, The Rain, in a Hefty trash bag. But, did she?
Sorry the y’all, the myth is over. Like officially, officially over. For years, Elliott has done her best to let the people know the truth. However, the trash bag theory has always been able to live on.
Nevertheless, on Twitter a fan piped up about the “trash bag” fit and Missy actually answered! This is what occurred between the two:
Fan Tweet: “22 years later and I still don’t know why she was in a black trash bag but the song is still fire.”
Missy Elliott Tweet: “Lol it was never a trash bag it was a patent leather blow up suit [winking emoji]. And why was I in that? I don’t know [laughing emojis] cuz I’m Missy.”
Missy Elliott Trash Bag… We Mean Suit! Elliott FINALLY Speaks On It
Yes, Missy has always had a style all her own. An aspect of her career that still sets her apart from all other Emcees. Nonetheless, don’t let her coy response on Twitter fool you. Back in the day when Elliott dropped The Rain video; there was a very good reason why she wore the blow up suit.
In 2017, Missy hit up ELLE magazine about it in an exclusive interview. In regards to her black bodysuit style she told ELLE,
“To me, the outfit was a way to mask my shyness behind all the chaos of the look. Although I am shy, I was never afraid to be a provocative woman. The outfit was a symbol of power.
I loved the idea of feeling like a hip hop Michelin woman. I knew I could have on a blow up suit and still have people talking. It was bold and different. I’ve always seen myself as an innovator and a creative unlike any other.”
Till this day, Missy still is able to get people talking about her and her music. A testament to her sound and vibe being classic and timeless in every sense. Right now, Marie Claire is paying homage to Missy’s career as she covers this August issue. Inside Elliott talks about longevity and the real ups and downs of the music industry when you are in the spotlight.
Made props to Missy for leading the way and pack for females in the hip hop realm; and for speaking out on a look; that is truly one of BIGGEST and BADDEST fashion statements in music video history!

Kaylan Mahomes Breaks Internet With Family Pic
If you ever need evidence or proof that “black does not crack;” last week you got it. An Indianapolis teen posted a photo on Twitter that broke the Internet. Thousands weighed in on a family picture posted by Kaylan Mahomes. The photo was taken in a car with a caption asking all to figure out who was Kaylan Mahomes, her mother and her twin. However, there was one small problem. All three ladies looked like they could be sisters!
It wasn’t just the fact that all three women were similar in appearance, they also looked to be the same age. The photo went on to be tweeted over 20,000 times. Such Internet and social media hysteria hadn’t been seen since “The Dress” of 2015. The dress photo that emerged a year ago had numerous people seeing a garment in different colors.
Nevertheless, Kaylan Mahomes’ photo had people searching and focusing on the tiniest of clues in order to figure out the answer. The ladies kept the fun going by also posting an additional video. Tweeters begged and pleaded for an answer and they finally got it. SPOILER: DO NOT KEEP READING IF DO NOT WANT THE ANSWER.
After some time Kaylan Mahomes finally came clean and revealed the answer. Kaylan revealed she was on the far right, her mother was on the left, leaving her twin sister to be the beauty in the middle. It was also revealed that Kaylan as well as her twin are 16 and their mother is 35. This squashed the rumor that Mahome’s mother was 13 when she had her gorgeous girls. Moreover, other than being a fun picture game this showed that yes black does not crack!

Snapchat Updates App Loses Best Friends Feature
Scrolling through twitter has been an hilarious hour of amazing comedic filled tweets. Snapchatters welcomed a new update this week to help them “Discover” editorial pieces as well as no longer have the ability to stalk friends and loved ones. Snapchat’s blog in regards to the Discover feature mentioned,
“Snapchat Discover is a new way to explore Stories from different editorial teams. It’s the result of collaboration with world-class leaders in media to build a storytelling format that puts the narrative first. This is not social media.” So then, it looks like Snapchat has figured out a way to commercialize the app without being overbearing. If you want to see extra media driven content there is a special button that you can hit. If you rather not see additional stories from outside sources can just ignore the button and snap away like normal.
Now back to the stalking (LOL). Users used to be able to see who others were snapping with the most due to Snapchat’s Best Friends feature. However, this newest update seems to have completely deleted this aspect from the app. Thousands took to Twitter with tweets ranging from girlfriends freaking out about their guys possibly cheating to guys celebrating their new found freedom to snap any and all females without consequences.
Videos, memes and photoshopped greatness captured the social media frenzy. A couple of our favorite tweets included:
“so mad that they have got rid of bestfriends of snapchat.. when im talking to a hot boy i want my friends to know.”
“DON’T UPDATE SNAPCHAT ITS A TRAP”
“Plot twist: snap chat will show everyone’s best friends again in a week, giving everyone enough time to screw themselves over”
Yikes on that last one, but have no fear Snapchatters this fun component will soon make its way back onto the app. Evan Spiegel also took to twitter and said,”
“We’ll bring back BFs soon. A few higher-profile friends wanted to keep their usernames private – we’ll come up with a better way to do that.”
So then, have fun with your snaps because now you are completely private and anonymous to the world. Best Friends will back before we all know it, no doubt just in time to catch some interesting revelations on our friend’s list (HaHa).
