Born in Trinidad, Minaj came to the States when she was five, grew up in
Queens, and attended the prestigious LaGuardia high school for the
performing arts (it was the model for the school in Fame). Her
fashion education also began there. “I was dressing in Tommy Hilfiger
baggy shirts and Boss jeans, but then I met a person who dressed like a
tiny lady—pantsuits, heels, lots of makeup. I thought she was larger
than life. She once did my makeup—I had never seen myself made up
before. I didn’t want to wash it off; I felt like I had one day to live
this fantasy of being a glamour girl.”
