The Hawk Tuah girls are doing everything they can to turn their 15 minutes of fame into at least an hour.
And, let’s be honest…so far, we have to say, pretty good.
For those who are unfamiliar, the Hawk Tuah girl is a 23-year-old girl named Hailey Welch.
She went viral – like, real Viral – During an interview with the popular YouTube show in Nashville earlier this summer, I was asked about the sexual behaviors that drive men crazy in bed.
Welch probably had a few drinks, made a very specific sound (think “hawk tuah”), and said, “You gotta spit on that tang!”
The answer made her friend laugh beside her.
And let Welch be named “Intua Girl”.
It also gave her an explosion of fame that was only possible in the age of social media… and it changed her life forever.
