@vmagazine 🖤❤️ Raise your hand if you’ve ever cried in the bathroom. Now, raise your hand if you’ve cried in the bathroom and gone viral. I give you @quenblackwell. The now 21-year-old was the kind of Vine legend throughout the mid-2010s that could whip out superhuman gymnastic abilities, play the guitar with her braids, and oftentimes scream while holding a chicken. “Create something that would make you laugh and don’t try to make other people laugh,” Blackwell says inside the pages of V139, our new winter issue. “And that’s what I’ve done my whole career, it has done me well.” Twenty-one years on, even though she’s now making millions laugh, Blackwell still maintains she’s just doing it all for herself. “My job is to bring my personality to a TikTok or Instagram screen and I can then go into different avenues and spaces I’m actually passionate about.” Head to the link in bio to discover the full story + order your copy of V139 today. — From V139 Winter 2022 Photography: @dennisleupold Fashion: @marta.del.rio Makeup: @loftjet Hair: @rickyfraserhair Interview: @a.had.a.dream Editors: @overlyopinionatedblackperson / @kalaherh / @matt.velasco Special thanks: @amalia.consulting / @theonly.agency / @bpcm
