00:00I'm a punk, I'm extremely chaotic, I have a lot of piercings, a lot of tattoos, I kind of just do whatever I want to do.
00:08My mom, she always wanted me to be very girly, very feminine.
00:12I tried to kind of sway her a bit into not being too different.
00:17We had a lot of battles about how I look or what I was doing.
00:22There was nothing I could do about it, she was going to do it no matter what.
00:25So today I'm transforming from my modified punk look to hyper-feminine,
00:31something that my mom kind of always wanted me to be.
00:35She might freak out a little bit.
00:46Hello!
00:47Hi, hello, bonjour!
00:48Bonjour!
00:49Nice to meet you.
00:50Nice to meet you, I'm...
00:51Awesome, I'm Raccoon.
00:52Nice to meet you.
00:53Nice to meet you.
00:55My name is Raccoon, I am a punk.
00:59I've been described as a cartoon character where I wear the same two outfits all the time.
01:04It's either a band shirt with shorts and fishnets or my patch pants with a band shirt and my vest.
01:11I love studs, I love anything that's black and white and monochromatic.
01:15Pants, tons of band shirts, even more band shirts.
01:18Belts where they usually have hoops of some sort or studs.
01:22As well as hats, because if I don't put my hair up, I'm always wearing a hat.
01:25I also have my skateboard, which are kind of my pride and joy.
01:29I kind of just do whatever I want to do, whether it fits into any box or not.
01:34I have a lot of piercings, a lot of tattoos.
01:36I skateboard.
01:37The generic ideas of no gods, no masters, or anything like that.
01:41You are your own person.
01:42That's what punk really is to me.
01:45It's a mindset.
01:46Have you ever had groovy makeup before?
01:50No?
01:51Nope.
01:52Never.
01:53Definitely always been a black and big black eyes type.
01:56I started dressing, I guess alternative, when I was very young.
02:00I stole my mom's makeup and I always took the big black palette and eyeliner
02:06and I just started blacking my eyes as much as I could.
02:10I think it was grade 9 when I started putting up my hair into big liberty spikes.
02:14I met a friend of mine and we dated and he was the one that introduced me to punk music.
02:21I was like, this is awesome.
02:22This is how I think.
02:23I love this.
02:24This is fast and angry.
02:25My mom was mad.
02:27She did not like that at all.
02:29And I am ready to start by removing everything.
02:32So today I am transforming from my modified punk look to hyper feminine,
02:38something that my mom kind of always wanted me to be.
02:42So today she's going to actually get to see what that would have looked like.
02:48So first I'm going to start with eyebrows, then I'm going to move to the eyes,
02:51and then I'll be doing the cover-ups on your face, the neck, and after the chest.
02:57How much I probably have spent from my mods to my tattoos is close to $20,000.
03:02That started with literally my very first tattoo when I think I was like 16.
03:07I think you had to be 16 at that time.
03:08I have a big chest piece.
03:10My throat's all done.
03:11I have all this blacked out.
03:13I kept getting more and more.
03:15I kind of stopped counting.
03:16So why'd you decide to do this?
03:18It's something my mom always kind of wanted me to look like.
03:20She always wanted me to be like this.
03:22Feminine?
03:23Yes, as most mothers want.
03:25My mom, she always wanted me to be very girly, very feminine.
03:31She loves bright pink and green and things like that, and that's great.
03:36If you touch a chalkboard and you have that shimmery feeling,
03:40that's me putting on color, you know?
03:42I want to wear this grungy hoodie that I found that probably hasn't been washed in like three years, you know?
03:48And she's just like, that's disgusting.
03:51We had definitely some battles, a lot of battles about how I look or what I was doing.
04:01So right now I'm just focusing on the skin and focus on covering up the tattoos.
04:04She's going to be glammed up a bit.
04:06I already did a little bit of shimmer on her eye.
04:08I'm going to give her some color on her lips.
04:10When you think of hyper feminine, I think I guess like, I don't even know.
04:14Super girly.
04:16Just super girly, I don't know.
04:19Not what I am.
04:21I think like heels.
04:23I think long hair.
04:25Maybe like I think of like business people mixed with Barbie.
04:31Dermablend is known for their heavy coverage.
04:34And so this is the product I'm using to cover her neck tattoos,
04:38as well as concealer, colored concealer, to really cut the color.
04:42I'm absolutely nervous for today.
04:45I'm scared of how my face is going to look.
04:48How is my hair going to be? Am I going to have brown hair?
04:50Like, am I going to go through like an existential crisis at this moment?
04:53Like, I have no idea.
04:55I'm adding a second layer.
04:56This colored concealer I'm using is from NARS.
04:58The one I used before, the red, that's to cut the black.
05:00Now it's like a gray.
05:02So I'm using a lighter concealer.
05:05I'm really, really nervous about seeing myself without tattoos.
05:08I think that's going to be the biggest shock for me and also my mother.
05:12Are you scared she'll prefer the feminine look?
05:15Well, it doesn't matter if she prefers it because she ain't going to get that.
05:20Okay, and I'm done.
05:22Into the wig.
05:24And the final outfit.
05:27Outfit.
05:31So you're ready to see yourself?
05:33Yep, I guess so.
05:35Okay.
05:36Three, two, one.
05:40Oh, what the f***?
05:42Oh my God.
05:46Oh, I look like my mother.
05:50What?
05:53Wow!
05:54It's blonde and brown and color and...
05:57Sorry, I'm having a moment, holy f***.
06:00Yeah, also the fact that I have no, like, tattoos.
06:04Oh my God.
06:06It's weird.
06:07It's kind of freaking me out.
06:08A lot.
06:09How do you feel about the way your mom's going to see you?
06:11Oh my God, I don't know.
06:12She's a loud person, so I don't know what's going to happen.
06:15She might freak out a little bit, so we'll see.
06:17Let's show her mom.
06:20Her punk style is her.
06:21I mean, I'm accustomed to it.
06:23She's an adult, so she gets to choose whatever she wants to do.
06:26I try to kind of sway her a bit into not being too different.
06:32You know, there was nothing I could do about it.
06:34She was going to do it no matter what.
06:36I am nervous. I've been nervous since she wanted me to come down.
06:39Wondering what it was going to be.
06:41You just never know what's going to happen.
06:43She likes to shock people.
06:45Ready, Mama?
06:46Okay.
06:47All right.
06:48One, two, three.
06:54Holy s***.
06:57Wow.
06:59Wow, you look nice, honey.
07:02Thanks.
07:04A whole lot different, that's for sure.
07:06Holy smokes.
07:07Yeah.
07:08Wow.
07:10I can't remember you without tattoos.
07:12That's how I feel.
07:14I was like, I haven't seen myself without tattoos, like, ever.
07:17Wow.
07:19You look totally different.
07:20I know, right?
07:23Her smile's the same.
07:26But, wow.
07:27Yeah.
07:30You good?
07:31Yeah, I'm good.
07:32Yeah, you good?
07:33Yeah, I'm good.
07:35This will be good.
07:37She'll be like, what the f***?
07:39So, do you prefer this look or her normal look?
07:43Be truthful.
07:44I don't know.
07:45I mean, this is nice, but I know it just isn't her and her personality.
07:49I mean, it's different, but just knowing my daughter, I don't think it is her.
08:02Wow.
08:04I agree.
08:06Yeah.
08:07It's, uh...
08:10It's, uh...
08:11It's, uh...
08:12Different.
08:13Let's say that as a word.
08:15Honestly, it's, uh...
08:19Even in French, I don't have any words.
08:23Honestly, just so weird.
08:25Yeah.
08:26Yeah, it's not you.
08:28It's not yourself, and it shows.
08:32Would you ever dress like this again?
08:35On purpose?
08:36No.
08:37No.
08:38The fact that I'm wearing color already freaks me out at the moment, so I wouldn't choose
08:42this to wear on my own.
08:43No.
08:44Let alone makeup?
08:45No.
08:46Red lips?
08:47No.
08:48I have black lips, and that's usually it.
