Milady Maker
The Milady Maker NFT collection was created in 2021 by artist Charlotte Fang and is a Remilia Corp project. Milday Maker is a collection of 10,000 generative PFP NFTs in a neo-chibi aesthetic taking inspiration from street-style tribes.
One can say that Milady is an aesthetic representing a certain lifestyle. Which is an ode to a simpler past life. The collection is living on the Ethereum Blockchain and features randomly-generated ladies that look like something we used to play on our old computers. You can find the collection on Opensea.

Lastly, this shows that the NFT market is easily influenced by people. Especially for someone as influential as Elon Musk people definitely trust his business adventures. So, the meme that Elon tweeted may suggest that Milady Maker is a good NFT collection to invest in. Therefore, many people rushed to make sure they scored an NFT before they regret not buying one. What do you think was this a smart decision? Or was Elon Musk just testing his influence?
