00:00So this is my hometown, Lansing.
00:03It is a very small suburb, but I love it here.
00:07They embrace change.
00:09They embrace cultures.
00:11They embrace everything.
00:25She told me about the contacts, and she said,
00:27they're pulling me out to New York.
00:28I said, what?
00:29She said, I'm leaving Friday.
00:30I said, what?
00:31I heard about the 29 room sweepstakes on YouTube.
00:34And I said, you know, why not?
00:37Let's give it a try.
00:38The next day, I got an email saying that I was selected.
01:03I am super excited that I am going to 29 rooms.
01:07She deserves it.
01:08Trulissa is a warm, loving, compassionate child, and I look forward to her going to New York
01:13and having a wonderful, safe time.
01:15I get to go and get body painted, see the rooms, just being in New York City.
01:23Thank you for making her dream come true.
01:25This is nuts, but I'm loving it.
01:39This city is crazy.
01:41I thought getting a taxi in New York City would be easier than this.
01:46Being here in a city that I've always wanted to be in since I was a kid is so cool.
01:51But now, I get to have a VIP experience of 29 rooms in New York City.
01:57It's going to be an absolute blast.
02:02As soon as the artist brings out the glitter, I'm just going to roll in it.
02:07I'm finally here.
02:21I'm going to keep this.
02:26Hi.
02:27Hi.
02:28Oh my god.
02:29So nice to meet you.
02:30You too.
02:31Welcome.
02:33I am so excited to get body painted.
02:35Are you nervous about doing this in front of people?
02:37I'm trying to be bold.
02:38You are fantastic.
02:40Yes.
02:40Yes.
02:41It's going to be so revolutionary for me.
02:43Presenting myself as a plus size young lady.
02:48So yeah, I'm honored to hold space for you.
02:50Wait, will there be glitter?
02:51There will be lots of glitter.
02:53Oh yes.
02:53I've saved a whole thing of glitter for you.
02:55Oh yes.
02:59I'm about to strip down and get started.
03:22I am extremely stoked to be covered in glitter right now.
03:26I'm just off my bucket list.
03:30Oh my god.
03:37This is so liberating just to stand here with my flabby arms, my rose, and cellulite.
03:46I wasn't afraid.
03:47I wasn't nervous.
03:48I felt inside and out having the courage to go out there in front of everyone with their
03:55camera phones and the artwork came out great.
03:59I feel great.
04:01It just couldn't, it can't get better than this.
04:05Let's go, let's go, let's go.
04:07Let's go, let's go!
04:09Let's go, let's go, let's go!
04:14Let's go, let's go!
04:18Sorry!
