Milady, That B.I.T.C.H. is an NFT collection created by Remilia Corporation as a derivative and expansion of the Milady Maker project.[1] Released as a free mint on February 9, 2022, the collection consists of 333 unique digital artworks depicting Milady characters wearing bootleg English t-shirts with acrostic text spelling out "B.I.T.C.H."[2]
The collection was designed as a free mint offered directly from the smart contract to Milady Maker holders. Each NFT features a Milady character wearing a t-shirt with randomly generated words forming an acrostic pattern spelling "B-I-T-C-H", with the words sourced from three specific texts: cultural critic Angelicism01's essay "NO MILADY NFTS, NOT NOW: THE RETURN OF 'SIYUAN ZHAO' AS THE NIGHT OF THE LIVING EXTINCT", rapper Chief Keef's album "Finally Rich", and Chief Keef's song "Kush with them Beans".[1]
Design and concept
The collection functions as both an expansion of the Milady ecosystem and a commentary on cultural subsumption. According to the project's official documentation, the word selection from Angelicism01's essay and Chief Keef's works was intended as "a playful and irreverent response to the environmental and capitalist criticisms made in Angelicism01's review, as a commentary on the inevitable cultural subsumption process of capitalism."[1]
With a supply of 333 NFTs and 41,472 possible acrostic t-shirt combinations, the collection demonstrates the generative nature of Remilia's approach to derivative works.[2] The bootleg aesthetic of the t-shirts aligns with Remilia Corporation's broader copyleft philosophy and encouragement of derivative projects within the Milady ecosystem.
Controversy
The collection became controversial shortly after its release when some NFTs were found to feature the word "Treblinka" on the t-shirts, referring to a Nazi concentration camp.[3] Remilia Corporation responded that the word appeared in Angelicism01's essay, where it was used metaphorically, and that the words were selected for their aesthetic qualities without awareness of the historical reference.[4]
Reception
The collection has been cited in broader discussions about the Milady project's cultural positioning and its relationship to online subcultures. The acrostic design and source material selection have been interpreted as characteristic of Remilia's approach to cultural appropriation and remix.[5]
