“Back in the day” (the day in question being the 90’s) a “Fly Girl” was a sort of back-up dancer/taste maker on the show “In Living Color”. J.Lo started out as a “Fly Girl” . . .When I think of the term in context of today’s music landscape I use it to talk about a female electronic artist like M.I.A or even better French recording artist Yelle. Girls who can pull of wearing loud clothes with kicks because they have attitude. What current female artists to performers from decades ago is an empowered fearlessness exemplified in their clothes,moves, and all over spirit. This past sale at Canoga Park I spotted a few separates that belong to the “fly-est” of girls.
