I love this! I’ve been called a Bougie Princess or Bougie Queen! And it’s usually based upon some superficial stereotype, when in essence I really don’t base my personal satisfaction on material items (or my outer appearance)….Real Talk!

THANKS KIM! and I totally agree. The next time I am called bougie, I’m going to smile and say, Why THANK YOU for that wonderful compliment! I’ll be sure to blog about that encounter
signed “QUEEN OF BOUGIE”

Of all things, I take being called bougie so personal. It really offends me because I feel like if a person thinks I’m bougie, they have no idea who I am or what I’ve been through. But I realized if I can come from where I came from and still be perceived as bougie, then I should embrace it!

Agreed! Being called “bougie” or characterized by a complete stranger gives you more insight about the person saying it and their thought process rather than it being a true reflection of your personality. OH shout out to Pagedale!!!! LOL

I define “BOUGIE” differently I guess. To me, to be “bougie” is to be fake. I always looked at being “bougie” as some1 who has risen above where they once were and now turn their nose up to those who haven’t. Or they may still be in that place and just pretend not to be when certain kinds of people are around.
Point being; never forget who u are, who u were, or where you come from….

Side note! There are some people who do deserve an upward nose…. shout out 2 flavor flav!!! Lol..from public enemy to flavor of love..in the words of Laurence Fishburnes character in school dayz…WAAAAAKKKKEEEE UUPPPPPPP!!!
