00:00If I go to like gay bars, everyone thinks I'm a trans girl and when I go to like straight bars, all the straight guys think I am a girl.
00:08Today I'm transforming my same emo alternative good look to a more preppy version.
00:16Three, two, one.
00:18I just want to do it because I think it would be fun like to look different and see how other people perceive me as looking like normal.
00:26I've never been on a blind date. I'm super excited.
00:28And at the end of the day I plan on showing him my original look.
00:33So hopefully it doesn't scare him off.
00:35But like if it does, oops.
00:42Hi, how are you?
00:44Are you here to change me into a preppy boy?
00:46Yeah, I do. You look amazing.
00:50My name is Daniela.
00:51Nice to meet you Daniela.
00:53Hi, my name is Mikey.
00:55If I were to describe my look, I'd describe it as alternative, scene kid, emo kid, punk, crunch, gothic, broke.
01:04But like I didn't choose this label. This label chose me.
01:11Literally straight out the womb.
01:13Like my mom wouldn't have me box braiding her hair when I was like eight years old.
01:19She was my influence in that style.
01:22How do you think you're going to look?
01:24I don't know. I want to look like not like me.
01:28Not like you?
01:29Yeah, like let's go. We're playing disguise mode.
01:32So today I'm going to change my look.
01:36Try and be a normal boy.
01:38And then try and see if the trickier will work on this other boy that I'm going on a date with later.
01:46So hopefully it's like my type. If it's not like honestly.
01:52I don't know.
01:53Why are you like for this blind date to change yourself?
01:57Like why you decided to do a transformation?
02:00Because I'm like, will it give me a different reaction?
02:04Usually people probably do want to talk to me or call me or whatever.
02:08But like they probably don't because they're just like seeing me as intimidating, which I really am not.
02:14It's just like preconceived like judgment.
02:18Basically judging a book by its cover.
02:21If I go to like gay bars, like everyone thinks I'm a trans girl.
02:26And when I go to like straight bars, everyone thinks all the straight guys think I am a girl.
02:31You're making it so relaxing.
02:34I haven't had my makeup done in a while.
02:36Like actually from someone.
02:38For someone.
02:39I kind of like stopped doing my makeup all the time.
02:43Do you like to do more for yourself or for clients?
02:47Well, I think I was just doing it because it's art.
02:50So to me, it was just like an artistic freedom like expression.
02:56I think so.
02:57So many people is just afraid to express their self because they think they will be judged.
03:03Do you judge it?
03:08I know I'm getting judged because like I'll be with my friends or something.
03:11And they're like, oh my God, everyone's looking at me.
03:14I don't know, you weirdo.
03:16Other words that are like not nice.
03:19But like it really mattered to me because I'm like, damn, learn how to love you.
03:24Like I love me.
03:28Okay, I would like to make a little bit contouring.
03:31Like cool tone.
03:32Like not bronzing.
03:33Yeah.
03:34I don't think so.
03:35Cut me out.
03:36Not that much.
03:37Okay, fine.
03:38I will use Vestement Atelier.
03:40That is the best one, which is blending perfectly.
03:50How do you think you'll feel when you see yourself with this new look?
03:54I don't know.
03:55Because I was thinking about it and I was like, what if I look so good that I'm like,
04:00maybe I could just like cut my hair off and dye it a different color and live a normal boy life.
04:07But then I'm kind of like, that would be so f***ing boring.
04:11Like I can't imagine not being the raucous a**.
04:17I cannot imagine it.
04:18We are going to move to the hair.
04:22I'm excited.
04:23I'm scared.
04:25Okay, Mikey.
04:26Are you ready?
04:27No.
04:31Okay.
04:33Can you please stop here?
04:35Straight boy in my dreams.
04:37Three, two, one.
04:40Oh my God.
04:41Take it off.
04:46I mean, definitely normal now.
04:48I feel like I look like grandpa.
04:50I feel like I look like grandpa, you know, going to the boat.
05:00Nervous because I am like uncomfortable.
05:06I look disgusting.
05:08Not because of you.
05:09You're amazing.
05:10You're good.
05:11The makeup girl beat the f***ing all heavens.
05:14But it's not Baroque.
05:17And I'm Baroque.
05:21I've never been on a blind date.
05:23I'm super excited.
05:24And at the end of the day, I plan on showing him my original look, which is like the original me.
05:31So hopefully it doesn't scare him off.
05:33But like if it does...
05:36Oops.
05:42What's up?
05:43Hi.
05:44Hi, I'm Margaret.
05:45I'm Jack. How are you?

06:16August 4th, 1994.
06:18I'm Leo.
06:19How old are you?
06:20A Capricorn.
06:21A Capricorn?
06:22Oh my gosh.
06:34You're probably like, what the f*** is this weirdo?
06:36Get me out of here.
06:37No.
06:38Yeah, I'm weird.
06:39No.
06:40I don't know, I'm a reader.
06:41I mean, I'm not really much of a dater in general.
06:44You seem like a homebody.
06:45I go out.
06:46I do stuff.
06:47You're like, I go out.
06:48Kind of.
06:49Like, barely.
06:50I mean, I'm frequently out.
06:51Okay, yeah.
06:52I did like,
06:53What, in Boys Town?
06:54I did like, three different sports.
06:55Oh, okay.
06:56You're actually like, actively out.
06:57I was out.
06:58Just like, delinquent out.
06:59I was at, you know, a couple events.
07:01Wanna see my real look?
07:02Because you're not in your style.
07:04I'm really not.
07:05That's probably why I feel a little like, who am I right now?
07:09Let's do it.
07:10Let's see the real look.
07:11Oh my god.
07:13Oh, wow.
07:16Okay.
07:17That's obviously a wig, right?
07:18No, that's my real hair.
07:19Oh.
07:20Oh, this is actually really cool.
07:21This is like, really cool.
07:22Yeah.
07:23Wait, I think this looks better than this.
07:26I think so too.
07:27Thank you so much.
07:28Oh my gosh.
07:29Let me take my hat off and just be normal again.
07:31You know, this is like, a style.
07:33I mean, it shows like, more of who you are.
07:36Yeah.
07:43Do you wanna see my real hair?
07:44Yeah, okay.
07:45And it's all its glory.
07:46The reveal.
07:48Crazy.
07:51Now it's all like, flat.
07:52Cool.
07:53It's the end of our time.
07:54I hope you enjoyed and I hope to see you next time.
07:58Yeah, no, this was great.
07:59I think I would stick to the original style.
08:07He was super cute.
08:08Like, definitely my type.
08:09But it was so like, not natural.
08:12I'm just gonna be me.
08:13If a guy comes in to want to be with me,
08:17then I'll just let it be and call it like that.
08:21Cause you can totally be anyone you want, if you want to.
08:24Which is awesome.
08:39Bye.
08:41Bye.
