Lee grinned, took Haze’s hand, and spun her onto the rink. Together, they skated a slow, powerful lap as the rink’s speakers blasted Lizzo. Then Lee stopped, faced the phone camera, and pointed at the comment from @SkinnyKing4Life.
Ten minutes later, she pushed open the door of a retro roller rink called Skate Trix . The disco ball spun. And there, at the center of the rink, warming up in metallic purple shorts and a crop top that read “PLUMP & PROUD,” was the legendary Lee—international burlesque icon and body positivity activist.
Hazel “Haze” Rodriguez had one rule for her Instagram Live show, Follow That Ass : no negativity in the chat. Every Thursday night, two thousand loyal fans tuned in to watch her blend lifestyle vlogging with high-energy entertainment—think dance cardio in sequined leggings, then a ten-minute tutorial on how to style a wrap dress for a job interview.
A plus-size lifestyle influencer known as @BigButtsLikeItBig turns the tables on a body-shaming troll with the help of a surprise cameo from her idol, the one and only Lee. BigButtsLikeItBig - Assh Lee -Follow That Ass- ...
Within 48 hours, the video had three million views. Lee DM’d her: “Next time, you teach me the wrap dress tutorial.”
Haze’s eyes went wide. “Chat, if you don’t know Lee, you’re about to learn.”
Here’s a playful short story based on the prompts you provided, weaving together the username, the hashtag, and the themes of lifestyle and entertainment. Follow That Ass Lee grinned, took Haze’s hand, and spun her onto the rink
Haze smiled. She followed that ass all the way to a book deal, a national tour, and a permanent segment on a daytime talk show called Love Your Lines .
Haze nodded, breathless. “Yes, ma’am. I thought—well, for tonight’s entertainment, I wanted to show my followers that following your passion means following your whole self. Including the parts the trolls hate.”
Tonight’s episode was called “Big Ol’ Bakery: How to Own the Room.” She was mid-squat, camera angled at her famous behind (size 22, jiggly, glorious), when the troll struck. Ten minutes later, she pushed open the door
“Maybe stop following that ass and start losing it. #SorryNotSorry”
She was live as she walked out of her studio apartment and down the busy Atlanta street, her hips swinging to an invisible beat. She had a destination in mind, though nobody knew it yet.
Later that night, Haze posted the replay with a new caption:
