Style Icon: Lady Pink

Lady Pink (AKA Sandra Fabara AKA Queen Of My World) (I made that last one up) is widely considered to be the first female graffiti artist EVER. Apparently she was born in Ecuador and raised in Queens (that's where the Queens come from) and went to this really rad high school that I'm lowkey bout to transfer to called High School of Art & Design. She started tagging in the 80s when she was 15 so if you're older than that you better quit because Second Youngest Female Graffiti Artist Ever isn't gonna look so good on them yung college apps :,,( She was also in this cool movie (that is now #1 on my netflix queue) about hip-hop culture called Wild Style. Also her first show was called Femme-Fatales. Also she hella collab'd with fellow female artist Jenny Holzer  who, among a whole bunch of amazing things, designed feminist/socially conscious t-shirts that Lady Pink was photographed in, so obvs she has rad style! What more could you want?!??! a b-rated rapper with a hilariously similar name? DONE.
