.MsRebeccaBlack reflects on 'Friday', sexuality and self-sabotage.
to let me in. On entry, a black and squirrelly little dog named Marlowe is the first to greet me, or rather reject me; making her caution known with ceaseless yelps. “Sorry, she’s not used to so many strangers in the house,” is the first thing Rebecca says to me, surrounded by two make-up artists, a photographer, her manager and publicist.
To tell the story of what happened next would be as pointless as retelling the story of Adam and Eve.is so ingrained in our post-internet world, we could call it the"Hey Jude" of our time and wouldn’t be exaggerating. It remains one of YouTube’s most watched videos. Drag queens still lip-sync to it. Offices still play it too, to signal the end of each working week.
Rebecca’s life so far has been about searching for safety. Several months after"Friday" was released, she made the decision with her parents to withdraw from private school and enrol in homeschooling. From her bedroom, she found safety in the enclaves of Tumblr, which helped develop her sense of self -- a process which was put on pause at the tender age of 13. At 18, she made the arduous and intentional decision to move out of her parents’ home, and live on her own in LA.
Rebecca’s close-knit relationship with her fans, who experience some of the same insecurities, have helped her realise that these issues aren’t symptomatic of"Friday"-specific trauma. They just come with the territory of being a woman on Planet Earth.
