 Hi, beautiful. Today's video is a video for me and me only. I mean, I definitely hope you enjoy it. As a YouTuber, you just have to do things for yourself. I have such a hectic month ahead of me for reasons you guys will find out in a very soon bit while. I don't have time to do everything I need to do. If you don't already know, I do paint. I recently went on Instagram and showed you guys the fact that I do paint and a lot of you guys seemed very interested in it. And then I was like, well, I also haven't done a Q&A. Well, I've done mini Q&As, but I haven't done a full-on Q&A in years. So I might as well let you guys get to know me better and reveal some tea. So I asked you guys to text me at this number, any questions you have, and I told you nothing is off limits. I hope we get some juicy questions in here. So we're gonna make some art today and I'm gonna answer all your steamy, sexy, hot questions. Let me go get my canvas and let's get started. Let's do it. I feel like f*** Bob Ross right now and I'm loving it. Bobby, if you're up there, I'm gonna do a man. You good? Okay, I know what you're thinking. Brad, I thought you were going to paint something for us. It looks like it's already painted. The thing with me is I am definitely a perfectionist. So with that said, I do end up painting my canvases like three times in a row before I like them. So as you can see underneath this lavender color, there is an existing painting. I paint over the painting and now we're gonna paint over the painting again. So third time's a charm is what they say. Another thing I wanna mention is that I paint abstractly. If you're the type of person who doesn't understand abstract art, well, get ready to understand it even less today. So in my life, I am in control of a lot of things. I do a lot, run this business, maybe, believe it or not. I do work night and day. When it comes to art, I just like to say f*** it and just do whatever I want, however I want with whatever colors I want and not have any plan of how to execute what I'm thinking in my head. This is going into my office, my separate office in the bigger office, which you guys will get an office tour in a little bit. I did get an office, we renovated the whole thing and it looks fabulous. This has to look good. This has to be energizing. It has to be inspiring so that in the middle of the day when I'm not feeling creative, I get like a creative vibe from it. So we're gonna start off doing something light because I like to work from light to dark, which is how you're supposed to do it, I think, because then your colors like don't get nasty. If you work from dark to light, all your light colors end up like dark. So don't do that. I use acrylic paint. I'm gonna use fluorescent yellow because it is one of my favorite colors. So I'm just gonna put some random yellow on the canvas. I like that shape. So now I'm doing these like lines out of the shape to make it look more like a sunburst type of vibe because I want it to look very like boom. Josie asks you, what's the most useless talent you have? Painting. No, I'm kidding. Oh, I can write a unicycle. Nobody believes me. So growing up, my neighbor had a unicycle and she like left it in my house and I was like, oh, I'm bored. I might as well learn how to ride this thing. So I went out there every day and I learned how to ride it. I became a professional unicycle rider. So if this doesn't work out. You're going to the circus. Yes. I feel like you'll fit right in, honestly. 100%. Mary Catherine asked, where is your dream vacation? Oh, I always wanted to go to the, is it the mall to use, is that what it's called? Yes. Is that the one with all the houses on the water? They have that Bora Bora mall to use. I just love the warmth and the water. Lexi Piled, or Hild, sorry for pronouncing that wrong, asked you, when did you first realize you were gay? The day I was born, baby. When did you realize when you were straight? When the first time I was like, ooh, huh, oh, that man. Yeah, like the first time you get a horny, right? Like, I don't know how it works. Helena Lundsetter asked you, have you ever had a boyfriend before? Yes, Alina. A few, actually, believe it or not. I have dipped into the b***h pond. I'm making caterpillars all over my canvas. Yeah, what the heck? They'll all come together. Okay, so I'm mixing up some blue and some yellow left on the palette. See, I don't like to wash my palette or do anything necessary to make my life harder. I just work with what I got, and now we have this beautiful greenish color, and I need a little white in here, because it's too dark, but it's a beautiful, like almost sea-fram green color. A little bit of white, a little mixy poo. Like, what's inspiring me when you're painting right now? Nothing. Okay. There's nothing in my head. It just falls out. It's just falling out. I actually have literally no idea what I'm gonna do yet. Okay. Usually I just put down a bunch of colors, and then it just like turns into something. Like, so far I hate these colors together, but it's okay. Yeah, no, I think it's really beautiful. Let's break some of this line here, which up. And since we have yellow and green next to each other, we will get a muddy color. Jaslyn Oliver asked you, okay, well, have you ever kissed a girl? I've actually done more than kiss a girl before. Can we go into more detail about that, because I'm sure the audience wants to know. I'm sure they're gonna want to. We ignore that past life of mine. It was born in high school. One thing leads to another, and you end up with a girl. Totally. Totally. You know what I'm saying? Totally. Never been there. Okay, you know, I'm definitely gay, and then you move on, you know? Yeah, of course. You grow out of that. Nadia Baharian ever thought of shaving your head? I have shaved my head. Would I do it again? Probably. I won't do anything with my hair, as you guys can probably tell. We're mixing up some light blue. Ooh, fun. Let's add some blue to this, babe. I honestly hate this lavender color that I laid down. To start, it should have been brighter, but whatever, we'll work with that. Morgan Hatton wants to know, what is your favorite store to shop at? I mean, you take a guess. Prada. That's the one. It's Prada. It's not something like Zara, but now I'm in all of us shop at. If you want to meet me, just go to Prada and just hang out there. So, so far, you guys, I hate this color scheme I'm working with. The yellow looks muddy, and the purple looks muddy. We're going to have to add some more light lavender, I think, in here, or just something to give it some energy, you know? It's like lacking life. I think it may be pink. Pink always solves my problems. I hope this comes out good, because so far, it's looking a little shit, but that's okay, because every abstract painting can be fixed. I'm going to dry it with a blow-dry real quick, and luckily, with acrylic, it dries really fast. That's why I love working with acrylic. So we're mixing up some pink and some white, because we're going to make a very bright pink. And hopefully, it'll look a little more fun on this canvas. Where should I like, fill it in? That's what I'm feeling like doing. That's looking nicer. Ooh, I like what's going on in the center here, so we're going to do more of that. I'm just going in and filling up all the gaps with the pink. It's all about layering, ladies and gents. So now, guys, we're going to take this water sprayer, and we're going to mix in some pink paint. And this is how you get some beautiful splashes. Hopefully, I don't get it all of my white wall, because this is why I feel hot. Honestly, it looks like spray paint, in my opinion, the way it drips, so it's really cool. I think it means whites or something, or something brighter. Remember when I said I work from light to dark? Well, today, we're not doing that. Told you, I have no rhyme or reason for the things I do. Okay, now we have a beautiful sponge from Trader Joe's. If you don't have these, they're amazing. They actually expand in water. It's just so fun, every single time. So I'm going to stipple with a sponge. Asked you, what is your biggest regret of 2020? I don't regret anything, and neither should you, unless you seem really bad. But hopefully you haven't. I just feel like everything in life happens. I don't know if I believe in like for a reason, but like I believe that things happen, and then there's an outcome from it. Whatever path you choose in life, you get this thing, and then whatever other path you choose, you get that thing. So maybe the bad decision that I made, or the thing that I f***ed up on, was actually a good thing, and got me to where I am today. Emily S asked you, what age did you start dyeing your hair? So my dad is a hairstylist. He would color my hair all the time. I think I was like five, and I've been doing it ever since. I like the effect the sponge gives me, because it's very blurred, and it kind of looks like there's motion going on. Ooh, okay, orange. This orange said, I want to steal a spotlight from every other color on here. And I said, go for it, babe. I'm getting somewhere I like, and I'm so happy about it. Wait, I actually kind of love it right now. Should I keep going? F*** yeah, because I always overdue sh**, so I'm gonna keep going. We're gonna do more of this sh**, because I want to f*** on my walls even more. We're gonna put more yellow on here, because I feel like the yellow's a little dull, and I think we can get more out of this. I'm just gonna do really small paint strokes to make it more like it's moving. Like there's some movement in here, if that makes any sense. Wants to know, worst thing about being an influencer? Hi, thank you for that question. The worst thing about being an influencer is, being an influencer. I think it's that people assume a lot of things about you that they don't actually know about, and then they like run with it, like me not being a real hairdresser for one. I am a real hairdresser, but I get that a lot, and people seem to think that they know everything about my life after they watch one video of mine. And they literally will fight with people, saying that I am fake. Y'all don't even know me. Nicole Jones wants to know, what was the scariest moment of your life? I hate heights so much. Like I love roller coasters and stuff, but I'll have to close my eyes the entire way up because I don't want to know where I am, but I love like the adrenaline rush. In high school, we went on this trip to Six Flags, and I went on a bunch of rides, and it was all fine. And then I went on a ride that went from one side of the park to the other, so you didn't have to walk. It was like a big cage that you sat in, and you could see underneath you all around, and there was nothing like protecting you. So it was like kind of scary. And by kind of scary, I mean my friends and I were literally crying. We had to get off like before the ride ended. I hated it so much. So that was one of the scariest times of my life. For sure. I thought I was gonna die. What's your favorite movie? I don't have favorites of things, like favorite colors, genre of music, like if you're an artist, I got not really into that. I will say one movie that I really liked, Inception, because I just love mindf**king thrillers that are like sci-fi themed. I like a movie that makes me think, and I have to pay attention the whole time, or I'll take it really bored. So I'm gonna add some light blue now because I'm vibing with light blue in my head. I just feel like it needs to happen. Nina Randall wants to know, who was your first kiss? I don't remember who my first kiss was, only because I was playing spin the bottle and I was like way too young. But I had a girlfriend at one point and I kissed her. I feel like I would more consider her my first kiss rather than like the spin the bottle sesh that we played. So it was a female. LaKay wants to know, are you currently dating someone? Am I? I don't know. Going out on dates? Sure. Are we like together? Yeah. How about you? God. What the fans get to know you? Tingle, I asked, I haven't been on a date since like 1975, although I wasn't even born yet, so yeah. Every color is pink. I like long walks on the beach. There's like Jewish boys watching that are, you know, cute. At least they make six figures a year. Oh my God, that's so not true. I'm not into money or lux or any of what? Me? What are going to be your goals for 2021? World domination. Now to keep growing my company, X-Mondo, and, you know, keep growing on social media, but mostly just cake and a**. But really giving you guys a lot more hair products, a lot more fun stuff that maybe isn't hair products. We had a lot of launches coming up and I'm very excited about them. And I just want them all to go smooth and go great and just have a good time doing it. So now I'm adding like kind of streaks of every color I have on my palette here and my palette has a lot of colors. I think these are just the finishing touches and then I will call it a day on this. Megan Bunting asked you, what is your biggest fear? A family member dying. I think that's what I've read a lot of people's worst fears. I don't know what could be worse than that. I think I'm going to call it quits on that one. Any other questions before we leave this situation here? Emily King wants to know, is your Xmodo shampoo coming back soon? Indeed it is, along with some other things for you. It's coming back, literally so soon. This month is going to be better than ever. Okay, so was it my favorite painting ever at the end of the day? Maybe not. Is it cute? I think so. Is it good enough? Yes. Do my paintings draw on me? Yes. So like I usually had to just stop and then I end up liking them down the road. So I'm going to stop here and hopefully when I hang it up in my office it looks beautiful. I'm also going to put a coating of gloss on this so it comes to life even more and then it'll look a lot better. And then I will show you guys a picture of what it looks like on my wall in my office because it's going on a brick wall. So it's going to look really cute. But yes, that is my painting. I hope you guys enjoyed my painting today. And if you don't, I don't give a f*** because it's for me and not for you. But also for your entertainment I guess. If you do art and you think you're bad at it, as long as you enjoy it, go for it. Why not? Maybe one day you will get good at it. Just keep trying. Keep doing it. Maybe you can pretend you're an artist like me. Just playing. I am an artist. I am. Okay? Make sure you guys follow me everywhere else. These are all my social media handles. Go for it.

She says, however, there's a minor problem. I don't know what to do to my hair. I was hoping you could help. And yes, Ming, I can help you. I'm getting a lot of vibes. First of all, I really like your haircut. You have beautiful hair. So thick. I just like the length that it's at, to be honest with you. But I think we can have a lot of fun with the color. I think you should start off with doing a really intense like Balayage highlight. Definitely with those money pieces in the front. And then maybe tint them like a pink color or a lavender. It would just look so good on you. And just having like the ends a different color to start will be a nice transition into doing more like crazier things. Use any permanent color and just change them all the time to like pink or purple and just have fun with it. That is all for today guys. Thank you so much for watching. Don't forget to live your extra life. I'll see you next time. Bye guys. Bye.
