DBBD<\/a>, who\u2019s there to look hot and (presumably?) mix her tracks for her. <\/p>\nSo yeah, Miss Bashful is the hottest thing in music right now for any cool junkie raver with sickening style. That, and I\u2019m just a huge fan. If she has one fan or a million, what matters is I\u2019m the only cool junkie raver with sickening style who shows up to work on Monday to write about what\u2019s happening in the culture, so if I say she\u2019s the second coming, Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Bump<\/em>, and so it is.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
And what happens when the it-girl of the music moment [Miss Bashful] comes back to the land where the tastemakers who decided she was cool reside [Brooklyn] to put on a one-night-only show? History is made, that\u2019s what happens. <\/p>\n
Last weekend, Miss Bashful sold out the iconic venue Elsewhere alongside a slew of heavy-hitters in the rave scene that played sets throughout the club\u2019s many rooms, all night long. But before she walked into her hungry mob of fans, all dressed in identical Miss Bashful head-to-toe looks, I asked myself (as any sociopathic narcissist would), \u201cHow can I make this about me?\u201d So I reached out to the Queen B, making sure to exploit my role at PAPER<\/em> and sat down with her backstage to get all the tea, assess the vibes and find out if she really is that bitch we all worship her to be. So line those lips of yours (both sets), shuffle her new album XOXO FM<\/em> and you be the judge. (Spoiler alert: she is that bitch and so much more.)<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Linux:<\/strong> I hate to start this conversation talking about the weather, but can we just talk about how you landed in New York and got to experience a fresh New York snow the other night? That is a rarity in today\u2019s age. Did you go outside and see it? <\/p>\nMiss Bashful:<\/strong> It was beautiful, reminded me of the Berlin toilets.<\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> And my pinky nail. I actually need to just know your thoughts on New York in general. <\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>Hot people everywhere <\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> Girl, and that\u2019s exactly why we\u2019re all ran through. Have we properly met yet? Like before right now? I feel like we\u2019ve only really texted until now at this point. And I love the way you text, I can hear your voice over the texts: \u201cSaw you last night from afar you looked iconic\u201d; \u201cJust landed in New York mawmaa<\/em>\u201d; \u201cSounds good mawmaa<\/em>.\u201d When I asked if I should make a group chat with you, me and Justin Moran, our editor-in-chief, you were like, \u201cYes group it babyyy<\/em>.\u201d I feel like that\u2019s a Miss Bashful song all on its own. <\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>I saw you at my release party in Berlin and I was like, \u201cWho is this goddess? What the fuck.\u201d Then my friend who makes sexy latex in Berlin, Lupae, told me about you and showed me your IG.<\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> I\u2019m so happy I finally nailed you down for a one-on-one moment. Like obviously you\u2019ve been interviewed before, but the world needed this one. It\u2019s giving two hot bitches just vibing and telling each other exactly<\/em>. Also, I just had to exploit my place at PAPER<\/em> to become friends with you.<\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>Bitch, the Berlin and NYC it-girls meeting… iconic.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
Linux: <\/strong>Back when I was in Berlin in August I practically hunted you down to get a chance to sit down with you. After your show, which was fab by the way, the New York networking gene in me was hitting and had me running around and trying to find you, but so were the Berlin drugs. So I kept thinking it was you dancing around after your set, but it always ended up being little mini you\u2019s instead. You have so many mini Miss Bashful\u2019s running around at your shows. <\/p>\nMiss Bashful:<\/strong> I love being a mother. I love my mini me\u2019s. l love my children, my babies.<\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> Like your look was copy and pasted onto so many girls, it was so cunt. Publicists say when making yourself famous it helps to create a general look and brand that could be made and recognized if they were to make you on The Simpsons<\/em>. I can definitely picture how your Simpsons<\/em> character would look in a heartbeat. And I know you can too cause in your song, \u201cCopycat,\u201d you literally break down the Miss B look: \u201chigh heels ponytails mini skirts big hoops sparkly mics stripper moves.\u201d<\/p>\nMiss Bashful<\/strong>: I love when my Bashfulettes<\/em> dress like me at my shows, but when other artists copy that\u2019s when I\u2019m like, \u201cEw, no originality,\u201d but it\u2019s a compliment at the end of the day. <\/p>\nLinux: <\/strong>And you\u2019re shady, I knew I liked you. Yeah, you look crazy if you call that out, so I\u2019ve learned the best revenge when someone steals your vibe is to just keep creating new ones, knowing that\u2019s something they could never do.<\/p>\nMiss Bashful:<\/strong> Exactly.<\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> I feel like you have a good relationship with your fans. Your music is kinda dedicated to making people feel fab, that and I mean they\u2019re not hard to like. Do you even know you\u2019re famous? At least to all the cool people in this world. Like every cool cunty techno fashion person on earth plays you religiously when they get ready, when they are raving, when they are at the after party. <\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>My whole life purpose is to make other people feel sexy and confident. It\u2019s all I\u2019ve ever wanted. I remember when I would feel down back in the days and listen to a bad bitch song and it would change my whole mood. I was like, \u201cI wanna do this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
Linux:<\/strong> What is your music-making process? Do you start with a beat first and then add the words? Do the words come first? Are you writing? Is DBBD the genius behind everything and that\u2019s why he\u2019s always around? Or is that just your man? I need to know the tea.<\/p>\nMiss Bashful:<\/strong> The only thing I\u2019m saying about DBBD is that he has the softest hands. Basically I\u2019ll have a concept and he\u2019ll have beats to show me and we decide what works well together. It\u2019s different every time, but always really organic.<\/p>\nLinux: <\/strong>Much respect to DBBD, but today in this interview it\u2019s giving the Miss Bashful show.<\/p>\nMiss Bashful:<\/strong> Shoutout DBBD and LadyKub. #CREAMTEAM. <\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> Speaking of the Miss Bashful show, you have one tonight in Brooklyn in just a few hours. How are we feeling?<\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>New York is wild, I can\u2019t wait.<\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> Do you get nervous before a show? When you told me you had jet lag, was that code for you\u2019re hiding in some hotel room freaking the hell out about having to be on stage tonight? Or you\u2019re like, \u201cNo bitch, I have jet lag.\u201d<\/p>\nMiss Bashful:<\/strong> if I think about it too much I\u2019ll get nervous. I try not to think about it and just throw myself in that hoe. I learned that from my stripping days, just throw myself in it.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
Linux: <\/strong>I first saw you last spring at Tunnel in LA. I love your performance style. You don\u2019t seem nervous, it\u2019s so effortlessly cool and cunt. As if we were all just at a cool rave and then some hot bitch took the mic, had her man plug in the usb and just freestyled hot-bitch-isms into a mic. It\u2019s like your sole intention on stage is to hype up every bitch and fire up the party.<\/p>\nMiss Bashful:<\/strong> I love hyping up. I wanna host a cycling or workout class so badly, or make a workout video yelling at people.<\/p>\nLinux: <\/strong>The music is already there and the crowd definitely dances hard enough. The rave and club scene tends to inspire your sound and look. Are you a party girl or do you just like to sound like one?<\/p>\nMiss Bashful:<\/strong> I\u2019m at a club every weekend and it\u2019s my job to party. Does that count?<\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> Absolutely. The most recent wild night you\u2019ve had out, go.<\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>Pornceptual New Years Berlin, baby.<\/p>\nLinux: <\/strong>Are you a Berghain girly?<\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>I think I\u2019ve gone to Berghain maybe like four times in the eight years I\u2019ve lived here. <\/p>\nLinux: <\/strong>Good for you. If I lived there I\u2019d be one of the Berghain Zombies that finds myself there every damn weekend. And even those chill art show things they sometimes have on Thursdays. It\u2019d be really bad for me. I also need to know your go-to karaoke song. <\/p>\nMiss Bashful:<\/strong> \u201cGlamorous\u201d by Fergie. I love to sit in economy class while I\u2019m going from city to city and look out the window and be like, \u201cWow, I made it.\u201d What\u2019s yours?<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
Linux:<\/strong> \u201cPromiscuous\u201d by Nelly Furtado. The part when Timbaland goes, \u201cPromiscuous girl, you\u2019re teasing me. You know what I got, and I got what you need.\u201d I lose it. We\u2019re getting distracted, now time for some real interview vibes. I feel like I\u2019ve made you such an enigma in my head like, Who is this bitch? She is so cunt.<\/em> So I guess we should pull things all the way back. I need the Miss Bashful origin story.<\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>I was born in Mexico City, and for some reason they used to dress us up in the sluttiest outfits in Pre-K and we would dance on the streets. That fucking made me. I grew up in Texas until I was 18 and I\u2019ve been in Berlin for eight years now.<\/p>\nLinux: <\/strong>A fav line of mine on your new album is, \u201cI have the hottest feed in Berlin.\u201d I have an inside joke with myself that you actually say, \u201cI have the hottest feet in Berlin.\u201d <\/p>\nMiss Bashful:<\/strong> I have the hottest feet and feed, bitch.<\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> But it\u2019s not just Berlin, now you\u2019re traveling the world. Like every day I wake up and watch your story, it\u2019s like Miss Bashful is somewhere new in that damn bikini and hoops and braids on the mic pumping up another rave or party or festival.<\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>Yeah, it\u2019s fucking crazy, I love it. But I have this fantasy of becoming a realtor and having a bunch of babies and becoming a housewife in Miami.<\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> Selling Slutset<\/em>. It\u2019s so funny we do all of this to escape to normal lives we grew up in, only to want it all back once we\u2019ve started to achieve it all. Where\u2019s your fav city you\u2019ve performed at so far? Personally, I love the scene in Barcelona. <\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>Hard question, but Berlin always pops the fuck off. They just get it.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
Linux:<\/strong> Do you have hoes in different areas codes?<\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>Yes actually, I\u2019m making a song about it called, \u201cHoes Around the World,\u201d with DBBD.<\/p>\nLinux: <\/strong>I need to know what Miss Bashful\u2019s vibe is at an airport. Like, what are you giving? <\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>Sometimes I\u2019m hella ratchet, but I\u2019ve been into dressing up lately. It\u2019s such a vibe.<\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> I\u2019m like ultimate comfort cunt in disguise mode: don\u2019t look at me, hood up, matching Juicy suit tucked into fur boots, giant sunglasses, huge tacky monogrammed backpack. And I still wear a mask on the plane cause I always snore and my mouth opens and I don\u2019t want anyone to see me looking crazy.<\/p>\nMiss Bashful:<\/strong> I\u2019m screaming.<\/p>\nLinux: <\/strong>It makes sense your traveling so much because we are still on the success of the recent release of your album, XOXO FM<\/em>. Baby let\u2019s pull up the track list, it\u2019s giving speed round of a few of my favs. \u201cFuckboy Free,\u201d this helped me get over my ex-situationship down. Reminded me who the fuck I am. And I know it does that for other people too. Did something inspire this? The lines are so specific. The \u201cjealous of my Twitter\u201d part was so real. <\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>It got to a point where I\u2019ve been with too many idiots that I had to make a song about it, and I love bad bitch break up songs. To have people in the clubs every weekend screaming, \u201cFuck my ex,\u201d is everything. \u201cBasic Bitch Catwalk.\u201d<\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> I\u2019m sorry, but I love all the things you listed. I love espresso martinis, Sunday brunch. I\u2019m on a diet. Looking fab. Am I correct in thinking you just love all those things too? You\u2019re honoring the importance of those things? \u201cSex and the city, I wanna move to New York City.\u201d <\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>I love basic bitches, ugh. \u201cShort king Spring.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
Linux:<\/strong> \u201cHe\u2019s my little donut.\u201d Explain this, please. <\/p>\nMiss Bashful:<\/strong> You know what this means. \u201cGroupiez.\u201d<\/p>\nLinux: <\/strong>So you don\u2019t fuck fans? Have you learned from experience? Also, damn bitch you love anal. <\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>They can eat my ass and worship my feet. \u201cSlut Slide.\u201d<\/p>\nLinux: <\/strong>As a trans woman there\u2019s something so cunt about you saying, \u201cTitty swang and dick swang,\u201d in the same line. Also, thank you for bringing back the word, \u201cCooch.\u201d That was crazy. <\/p>\nMiss Bashful:<\/strong> Everything I do is for my dolls, gays and girls, baby. \u201cCopycat.\u201d<\/p>\nLinux: <\/strong>This is your Simpsons<\/em> moment. Are you mad at them? At least the ones that have bad intentions?<\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>You just gotta keep evolving that these copycats get stuck in your old eras. \u201cTrophy Wife.\u201d<\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> Love you reclaiming the tiny titty committee as something to be proud of. It made me so proud of my little hormone B cups. I also like when you say, \u201cDon\u2019t put me fucking down, bitch. I\u2019m always looking pretty.\u201d Like yes, I get the song is somewhat comical. It\u2019s also true. Being hot and confident and a bad bitch is a rarity. Why should we be expected to do anything else?<\/p>\nMiss Bashful:<\/strong> I will represent the A cup gang till I die, and even though I\u2019m such an independent bitch it would still be nice to have someone spoil me so I can save my money on the side.<\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> When I went into this interview I was still not sure if you are truly the girl you are in your music or if it\u2019s a performance art schtick. Are you her or would you say your entities are separate? Am I crazy to think you are truly that girl?<\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>I am that bitch, but I also have such a chill side.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
Linux: <\/strong>Not being creepy when I ask this, it\u2019s only because it\u2019s the number one topic you talk about in your music. I need to know your relationship with sex. That and being hot. Are you having a lot of it or are you all talk? What is the tea?<\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>I\u2019m actually sort of celibate at the moment. I feel like no one is good enough for me and men scare me. <\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> Also, I need to know all about the stripper money being leeched. <\/p>\nMiss Bashful: <\/strong>Men in my past making me pay for shit and asking me to dance and weird shit just cause I was a stripper.<\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> Can I just say, you are so doll coded. You definitely get the doll card. <\/p>\nMiss Bashful:<\/strong> I love you bitch.<\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> I can\u2019t help but feel you also have some sort of affinity for gay men, as well. I mean, in everything you do I feel like you\u2019re surrounded by them and sexualizing them constantly. In a good way. We love the gays, right? <\/p>\nMiss Bashful:<\/strong> I literally fall in love with every gay man. Why are gay men the hottest? I have a sexy gay in every city though. Life couldn\u2019t get any better <\/p>\nLinux:<\/strong> I feel like I\u2019m carrying and we could be here for hours, but you do have a sound check soon. So I wanna know what\u2019s next for you. Where is Miss B heading next year? The next five?<\/p>\nMiss Bashful:<\/strong> I’m working on my Spanish era this year. Next five, I hope to be pregnant and back in the USA hopefully with a sexy man by my side, or two.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
My whole life purpose is to make other people feel sexy and confident.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
