Why did this affect me so much? I was crying for Meechy and MsVaughn and the rest of the sisters I had come to recognize and know in large and small ways over the years of avid YouTube consumption. Prince's death stole my self-control.
Alongside thousands of fellow fans, I wept outside Paisley Park. Naturally, with the tears came the bitter aftertaste of his scandals and alleged crimes. Love is complicated, but it also allows for facts — facts gleaned from so many reports and out-of-court settlements. Still, the tears fell, unbidden. I also cried when Aaliyah and Amy Winehouse died. I had felt a different kind of kinship with the two of them: Aaliyah was born the same year as my older sister; Amy was a year younger than me.
They came into my life at different times, but we had all come up together somehow, even though we were worlds apart. My love for Aaliyah went back to swoop bangs and boxers under baggy jeans; with mouthy north London Amy, I felt like the boldest version of myself.
I was crossing the street and listening to the radio when I heard the Aaliyah news, and the sob that formed startled even me. For Amy, I heard the news at home and felt a sharp pang of grief like you might feel for a childhood friend you no longer speak to , something maybe twice removed but real nonetheless, clawing its way through my chest before it manifested as a short crying jag.
I'd been listening to and writing about Amy since Frank , her first album. Meechy Monroe, who was a couple of years younger than me, had occupied a space somewhere between celebrity and friend in my mind: I looked up to her in a way, but also felt intimately connected to her, by virtue of her tutorials and her age.
On a cold January morning in , I scheduled my Big Chop and emerged from a small east London salon with a teeny-weeny Afro and an almost tangible amount of trepidation. I cannot remember the site that introduced me to MsVaughn, but I know I was hooked pretty early on, even as I recognized that her hair type was not like mine, and her advice would be largely useless on that front.
She had large, sleepy eyes, and you could tell by the way she looked at her big sister that she adored her. I recognized that look, because it is one I give my big sister all the time.
