I'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. My mom, she always wanted me to be very girly, very feminine. I tried to
kind of sway her a bit into not being too different. We had a lot of battles about how I look or what I
was doing. There was nothing I could do about it. She was going to do it no matter what. So today I'm
transforming from my modified punk look to hyper feminine. Something that my mom kind of always wanted me to be
She might freak out a little bit. Holy . Hello
Hi, hello, bonjour. Bonjour. Nice to meet you, Ali. Awesome, I'm Raccoon
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. My name's Raccoon, I am a punk
I've been described as a cartoon character where I wear the same two outfits all the time
It's either a band shirt with shorts and fishnets or my patch pants with a band shirt and my vest
I love studs, I love anything that's black and white and monochromatic
Pants, tons of band shirts, even more band shirts, belts where they usually have hoops
of some sort or studs, as well as hats because if I don't put my hair up I'm already a band
wearing a hat. I also have my skateboard which are kind of my pride and joy. I kind
of just do whatever I want to do whether it fits into any box or not. I have a
lot of piercings, a lot of tattoos. I skateboard. The generic ideas of no gods
no masters or anything like that you are your own person. That's what punk really
is to me. It's a mindset. Have you ever had the girlie makeup before? No? Nope! Never
Definitely always been a black and big black eyes type. I started dressing, I guess alternative, when I was very young
I stole my mom's makeup and I always took the big black like palette and eyeliner and
I just started like blacking my eyes as much as I could I think it was grade nine when I started putting up my hair into big liberty spikes Met a friend of mine and we dated and he was the one that introduced me to punk music
I was like, this is awesome. This is like how I think. I love this. This is fast and angry
My mom was mad. She did not like that at all. And I am ready to start by removing everything
So today I'm transforming from my modified punk look to hyper feminine
something that like my mom kind of always wanted me to be so today she's gonna actually get to see
what that would have looked like so first i'm gonna start with eyebrows then i'm gonna move the eyes and then i'll be
doing the cover-up on your face the neck and after the chest how much i probably have spent
from my mods to my tattoos it's close to 20 000 that started with literally my very first tattoo
when I think I was like 16. I think you had to be 16 at that time. I have a big chest piece
My throat's all done. I have all this blacked out. I kept getting more and more
I kind of stopped counting. So why'd you decide to do this? It's something my mom always kind of wanted me to look like
She always wanted me to be like this, like... Interesting. Yes, as most mothers want
My mom, she always wanted me to be very girly, very feminine
She loves bright pink and green and things like that and that's great
If you touch a chalkboard and you have that shivery feeling, that's me putting on color
You know, I want to wear this grungy hoodie that I found that probably hasn't been washed in like three years, you know
And she's just like, that's disgusting. We had definitely some battles, a lot of battles about how I look or what I was doing
And so right now I'm just focusing on the skin and focus on covering up the tattoos
She's gonna be glammed up a bit. I already did a little bit of shimmer on her eyes
I'm gonna give her some color on her lips. When you think of hyper feminine. I think I guess like I don't even know
super girly Super girly, I don't know Not what I am. I think like heels I think
Long hair maybe like I think of like business people mixed with Barbie Dermablend is known for their heavy coverage And so this is the product I using to cover her neck tattoos
As well as concealer, colored concealer. To really cut the color. I'm absolutely nervous for today
I'm scared of how my face is going to look. How is my hair going to be
Am I going to have brown hair? Like am I going to go through like an existential crisis at this moment
Like I have no idea. I'm adding a second layer. This color concealer I'm using is from NARS, the one I used before
the red, that's to cut the black. Now it's like a gray, so I'm using a lighter concealer
I'm really, really nervous about seeing myself without tattoos. I think that's going to be the
biggest shock for me and also my mother. Are you scared she'll prefer the feminine look
Well it doesn't matter she prefers it because she ain't gonna get that. Okay, and I'm done. Into the wig
Wow! It's blonde and brown and color and... Sorry, I'm having a moment. Holy f***
Yeah, also the fact that I have no, like, tattoos. Oh my god
It's weird. It's kind of freaking me out. A lot. How do you feel about the way your mom's gonna see you
Oh my god, I don't know. She's a loud person, so I don't know what's gonna happen
She might freak out a little bit, so we'll see. Let's show her mom
Her punk style is her. I mean, I'm accustomed to it. She's an adult, so she gets to choose whatever she wants to do
I tried to kind of sway her a bit into not being too different
You know, there was nothing I could do about it. She was going to do it no matter what
I am nervous. I been nervous since she wanted me to come down wondering what it was going to be You just never know what going to happen She likes to shock people Ready Mama Okay Alright One two three
Holy s***! Wow! Wow, you look nice, honey! A whole lot different, that's for sure
Holy smokes. Yeah! Wow! I can't remember you without tattoos. That's how I feel
I was like, I haven't seen myself that tattoos like ever. Wow
You look totally different. I know, right? Her smile's the same. But, wow. Yeah
You good? Yeah, I'm good. Yeah, you good? Yeah, I'm good. This'll be good
She'll be like, what the f***? So do you prefer this look or her normal look
Be truthful. I don't know. I mean, this is nice, but I know it just isn't her and her personality
I mean, it's different, but just knowing my daughter, I don't think it is her
Wow. I agree. Yeah. Would you ever dress like this again
On purpose? No. No. The fact that I'm wearing color already freaks me out at the moment
So I wouldn't choose this to wear on my own. No. Let alone makeup? No. Red lips? No
I have black lips and that's usually it
