Recently, HerCampus had the opportunity to interview Twitter celeb, SmilleeSims. She is known for tweeting a new story every Friday and she doesn’t hold back any details. She’ll tell you what position, where it went down, and just how gritty everything got. She turned her Twitter stories into a book, and she said that she’s gotten a lot of positive feedback. But what if a regular Suzie told similar stories, would she be called a “hoe,” or “slut”?
