╰   ☆  ◞  kaia gerber / cis-female / she/her  ———  no way is that LAYLA SHAW/SILVER? you know they’re TWENTY FIVE years old and they’ve been in los angeles for TWENTY-ONE YEARS. I hear they’re a BAND MANAGER for BAD IDOLS, which they LOVE. oh and they’re notoriously known for being UNPREDICTABLE but there are some people who have seen them be HONEST. we did a little digging on them and found out that their most played song is BALLAD OF A HOMESCHOOLED GIRL by OLIVIA RODRIGO.

romantic/ex spouse: they met when she was 18 and at a concert, connecting over their mutual love for the band they were there to see and hit it off right away. it was a whirlwind relationship with lots of back and forth, on-and-off and on her twenty-first birthday while celebrating it in vegas they spontaneously got married. the marriage lasted until january 2023 (almost three years) before they filed for divorce and after a year of fighting over the details, they are officially divorced since february 2024. layla is still heartbroken over of how it ended (details can be discussed).

part two: questionnaire.

why don’t you start at the beginning and tell us who you are?

"Easy — The name's Layla, I'm 25 years young and a hot divorcee looking for some fun." The brunette winked at the other, smirking.

what is your place in this massive industry?

"I manage my brothers band 'Bad Idols'."

life in los angeles can be pretty intense, do you love it or hate it?

"It is intense indeed but I love it. You just always gotta look out for yourself and the people you care about and I think you'll be fine."

what inspires you to show up for the musicians you work for or collaborate with?

"Well, for one I think my brother would give me a mouthful if I chose to ditch him and the band." Layla laughed. "But other than that, it's fun and interesting to see where their journey takes them and to manage them through it."

what are some of your favourite genres of music?

"Metal or else I think I wouldn't enjoy my job that much. But I also like Oldies and Old School Rock."

what is the first record you ever bought?

"Cheesy but the first album my brothers band put out."

what’s next for you?

"Getting coffee because I've barely slept last night." She laughed. "And after that probably a Pilates class and then some more work. You'll have to wait and see where the journey will take us, I guess."

3. i am not starfire by mariko tamaki

I don’t know what the future holds, but for the first time I’m not scared of it. I’m not even scared of failing, which is weird. Maybe because I was never failing, right? I was just becoming me.
