00:00I describe myself as a vampire goth.
00:03I get judged a lot for the way that I dress.
00:06Big platforms, big bat's nest hair, veils, corsets.
00:10I've had people take pictures of me.
00:14People call me a freak.
00:15And I want to see if it's any different when I turn into a Barbie.
00:18Today I'm transforming from vampire goth to sparkly blonde Barbie
00:21and I'll be revealing my look to my husband, my best friend, and my mother-in-law.
00:25Oh. My. God.
00:28My husband and my best friend are goths as well.
00:31And I know that they're going to completely hate it.
00:33Especially because we're going to goth night tonight.
00:35Well, do you like it?
00:38Are you wearing that to goth night?
00:45Hi. Nice to meet you.
00:47Nice to meet you.
00:49My name's Maddie and I describe myself as vampire goth
00:54mixed in with a little bit of 90's and hints of Victorian.
00:57I take a lot of inspiration from Count Orlok, Nosferatu.
01:02When I think of vampires, I think of rosaries, frilly shirts, paleness.
01:07And then with 90's goth, I like wearing big platforms.
01:12Big eyeliner, big lashes, big bat's nest hair, veils, corsets.
01:20These are my prized possessions.
01:22They are my 10 inch heels.
01:24I just wear them around the house.
01:26Here is some of my decor.
01:28Some bone art that I've made.
01:30I just went bone hunting and found all of those things in the woods.
01:35How did your style develop?
01:37It started when I was probably about 12.
01:39I would see a lot of goths online.
01:41So I knew about the fashion.
01:44I just would wear metal t-shirts and stuff like that.
01:47And then I didn't really have the confidence until I graduated high school
01:51to really express myself.
01:53I felt like I had a chance to be myself and morph into my truest form.
01:58Today I'm transforming from vampire goth to sparkly blonde Barbie.
02:02And I'll be revealing my look to my husband, my best friend, and my mother-in-law.
02:05And I know that they're going to completely hate it.
02:07Are you curious to know what your mother-in-law?
02:11Yep. Yeah. I think she's going to hate it.
02:14Really?
02:15Yeah. Yeah.
02:17She's definitely going to have an adverse reaction.
02:20I can see it.
02:23Yeah.
02:26My husband and best friend are both goths too.
02:28I met my husband Jake in one of our friend's garages.
02:31They were having a party and we just started hanging out.
02:35He definitely has inspired me and given me a lot of confidence
02:39to really shine in my style.
02:42I think that he wouldn't want it any other way.
02:44He is very happy that I can express myself fully now.
02:50So I'm using a Colourpop No Filter Primer.
02:54We're going to do a lot of contour and light blush.
03:00Nothing too deep.
03:02You're really going to be able to see her face for what it is.
03:07A glowy outcome.
03:09I get judged for my style a lot,
03:11especially living in such a conservative small town.
03:15I've had people take pictures of me.
03:19There was also a couple of guys from around here that followed me
03:24when I was leaving a store.
03:26Just followed me to probably scare me.
03:28People will call me a ffff.
03:30A ffff.
03:32A freak.
03:34Really just whatever comes to their mind.
03:37I want to see if it's any different when I turn into a Barbie.
03:45I'm using a brow palette by Benefit.
03:48That's awesome.
03:50And I used a brow pen from Anastasia.
03:56I like to create my own strokes.
03:59What do you picture when you say Barbie?
04:01I picture a long blonde wig, stiletto heels,
04:06and a pink dress and hot pink nails.
04:09I've just never done a Barbie look before,
04:11and I've always kind of wanted to see what I would look like.
04:14I'm excited for the drastic change.
04:21I've used Dermablend before on tattoos,
04:24and you don't have to use the corrector,
04:27but the one on your leg where there's a lot of pigment,
04:31that's when I would use color corrector.
04:34Yeah, that looks great.
04:36I still think the corrector would be awesome.
04:39I bought it for you, so I might as well just use it.
04:43This has, like, a 16-hour lifespan.
04:46Oh, my gosh.
04:48Yeah, so definitely scrub when you're in the shower.
04:52Let's see.
04:54Yeah, I'm going to, once this dries,
04:56I'm going to put a lighter, just a little bit of a lighter layer on it.
05:01I'm not sure how I will feel when I see myself.
05:04I feel like I'm going to hate it.
05:08Or I might love it. I don't know.
05:14I am nervous to try a different wig,
05:18especially without piercings to save me a little bit.
05:21I have no idea how this is going to turn out.
05:30Hey, are you ready for the big reveal?
05:33Yes.
05:34Are you ready?
05:35Yes.
05:361, 2, 3.
05:39Oh, my God.
05:42My God.
05:52I don't like the dress.
05:54The makeup's really good.
05:57And I like the nails.
05:59I like the wig a lot, a lot more than I thought.
06:02Would you feel comfortable going outside the house like this?
06:07Um...
06:12I don't know.
06:14I don't know, because I feel like I kind of look like a suburban housewife.
06:21How do you feel about showing this to your loved ones?
06:26I honestly don't know what they're going to think at this point.
06:30They're probably all going to hate it, honestly.
06:33Especially because we're going to goth night tonight.
06:35Her everyday style, it's like an art form to me.
06:39Every day, she looks like a work of art.
06:41What do you think about the idea of her doing something completely different?
06:45I'm excited. It's going to be different.
06:47I've never seen her not goth, so...
06:57Well?
07:01Yeah.
07:02Do you like it? Do you hate it?
07:04I hate the blonde wig.
07:05You hate it?
07:06I like it on you.
07:07I know, I kind of like the blonde wig.
07:08I like the blonde on you.
07:09Yeah, I do.
07:10I kind of feel like Hannah Montana.
07:13You look like 18-year-old Maddie in the face.
07:16Yeah.
07:17You look good.
07:18And the shoes are...
07:20Those are shoes.
07:22They are shoes?
07:23It's just not you.
07:24Oh, your tattoos are gone.
07:26Oh, I didn't even notice that.
07:28That is so weird.
07:29I know.
07:30Yeah, it is.
07:31I know.
07:34I hate the square shoes.
07:38You hate the square shoes?
07:39Yeah.
07:40I do.
07:41You're so cute.
07:42Well, thanks.
07:43Is that what you're wearing to goth night?
07:45I guess so.
07:47It'll be interesting for sure.
07:49I don't think anybody's going to recognize me.
07:52It does look like a costume.
07:55Everyone's reactions were as I expected.
07:57I kind of expected Jake's to be a little worse.
08:01He liked it more than I thought he would.
08:03It's definitely cute, but it's not me.
08:07And I miss my piercings.
08:10Did you learn anything from this?
08:12That I shouldn't dress like this.
08:19I don't really think I can wear that to goth night.
08:22I'm done.
08:24I'm getting changed.
08:33Bye.
08:34Bye.
08:35Bye.
