1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,720
Hey, OK, so this is kind of 
embarrassing but also totally 

2
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,120
unbelievable. 
My name is Max. 

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,880
Or at least it was. 
I know that sounds dramatic, but

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,760
just wait until you hear what 
happened. 

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:22,000
It all started last weekend. 
My sister Bella is the girliest 

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,840
girl on the planet. 
Like, pink glitter everywhere. 

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,760
10 different lip glosses in her 
purse and a closet that could 

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,960
crush you with tulle. 
She's always telling me to stay 

9
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,720
out of her room, which of course
means I had to go in. 

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,160
I was just being nosy, OK? 
She had this new vanity set up 

11
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:47,200
with lights around the mirror 
and on it sat this one tube of 

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,840
lipstick that looked weirdly 
fancy. 

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,720
It had a golden case, sparkly 
pink writing and the name 

14
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,040
Goddess Kiss Nabri Forbidden 
pink. 

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,600
Honestly, it felt like it was 
calling to me. 

16
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,400
I don't know what possessed me, 
but I picked it up, twisted the 

17
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,760
cap and stared at the colour. 
It was this perfect shimmering 

18
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,560
pink, like cotton candy kiss by 
moonlight. 

19
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:19,080
I told myself. 
Just one swipe just to see what 

20
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,080
the hype is about. 
Big mistake. 

21
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,760
The second it touched my lips, I
felt a tingle, not just on my 

22
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,240
mouth, but everywhere, like my 
whole body shimmered. 

23
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,680
I blinked, and my reflection 
blinked back, but something was 

24
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:44,680
off. 
My lips looked fuller, shinier. 

25
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,920
My eyelashes looked longer. 
My face looked cuter. 

26
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,720
I leaned closer. 
Was I wearing blush? 

27
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,480
Then I noticed my clothes had 
changed. 

28
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,480
My hoodie and joggers were 
suddenly replaced by acute pink 

29
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,240
crop top and short shorts. 
What the heck? 

30
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,800
Panicking, I grabbed a tissue 
and tried to wipe the lipstick 

31
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,760
off, but it didn't budget. 
In fact, it just made my lips 

32
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,000
lossier. 
I started scrubbing harder and 

33
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,000
harder, but nothing worked. 
I even tried soap instead. 

34
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:30,840
The more I scrubbed, the more 
girly I felt, like something 

35
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:36,200
inside me was shifting. 
And then Bella walked in. 

36
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,480
She gasped. 
Then she smiled. 

37
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,760
Oh, you use that one. 
She said, hands on hips. 

38
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,600
Oopsie, that lipstick is cursed,
Max. 

39
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,120
Once you put it on, it doesn't 
just make you look like a girl, 

40
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:59,280
it makes you a girl slowly, 
sweetly, and permanently. 

41
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,400
I stared at her, jaw dropped, 
still holding the golden tube in

42
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,480
one hand. 
You mean this is? 

43
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,560
Yep. 
She said with a wink. 

44
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,720
Day one of your transformation. 
Enjoy the ride, cutie. 

45
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,520
And just like that, she snapped 
a pic of me with her phone and 

46
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:28,320
skipped away. 
So yeah, that's how it all 

47
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,840
started. 
I don't know what's going to 

48
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,520
happen next, but I can already 
feel little things changing. 

49
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:41,320
My voice has this soft lilt now.
I catch myself swaying my hips 

50
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,360
when I walk, and every time I 
see my reflection I swear my 

51
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:53,280
face looks a little more pretty.
I have a feeling this is only 

52
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,800
the beginning. 
To be continued. 

53
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:04,480
OK so quick recap. 
I'm Max, or I was Max until I 

54
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,360
made the adorable mistake of 
trying on my sister Bella's 

55
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,400
lipstick goddess kiss #13 
Forbidden pink. 

56
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:17,800
Spoiler alert, it's cursed like 
magically glamour pink Princess 

57
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,880
cursed. 
After that first swipe, I swore 

58
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:29,840
I was still me, just with shiny 
lips and maybe longer lashes and

59
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:33,960
maybe a crop top that showed off
my surprisingly smooth tummy. 

60
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,440
But deep down I was still the 
same awkward video game loving 

61
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,560
boy, right? 
Wrong. 

62
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,120
The next morning I woke up in 
total panic mode. 

63
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,840
I ran to the mirror and nearly 
fainted. 

64
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:54,480
First off, my hair. 
Umm, excuse me. 

65
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,360
It was longer, fluffier. 
It looked like I had spent an 

66
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,000
hour blow drying it into the 
cutest bouncy waves. 

67
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,280
My cheekbones were popping, my 
eyebrows were arched, and my 

68
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:12,280
lips, still pink, still glossy, 
looked like I was about to blow 

69
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:16,120
a kiss. 
Oh my God, I whispered. 

70
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:23,120
I'm turning into a girl. 
Except I didn't sound like me. 

71
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,920
My voice was soft, sweet, sing 
songy like a Disney Princess 

72
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,840
ordering a pumpkin spice latte. 
I stumbled back and looked down.

73
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,040
I was wearing a matching pyjamas
set, light pink with little 

74
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,200
hearts all over it. 
What happened to my boxers and 

75
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,560
T-shirt? 
Even worse, when I checked the 

76
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:50,960
tag it said Maxine. 
Oh no, no, no, no. 

77
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,680
Bella peeked into my room, 
already dressed in a glitter 

78
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,320
tank top and denim skirt, like 
she was heading to a girl group 

79
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,520
audition. 
Morning, Maxine, She chirped. 

80
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,440
How's my Pretty Little sister 
today, sister? 

81
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,440
I shrieked, which sounded more 
like a squeak. 

82
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:12,720
Bella just giggled. 
The lipstick works overnight. 

83
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,760
Every morning a little more of 
you fades away and your true 

84
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,520
self comes out. 
Isn't it exciting? 

85
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,400
I glared at her. 
Or I tried to. 

86
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,840
It's hard to look intimidating 
with sparkly lip gloss and 

87
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:30,200
fluttery lashes. 
I need to reverse this. 

88
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,680
I huffed. 
There has to be a way. 

89
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,560
Oh sweetie. 
Bella said, sitting beside me. 

90
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,600
There is no reversing Goddess 
kiss #13 the only thing you can 

91
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:49,160
do now is embrace her. 
Her, you, Maxine, or maybe 

92
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,480
something even prettier, We'll 
see. 

93
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,640
She reached into her makeup bag 
and pulled out a pink satin 

94
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,240
headband with a sparkly bow. 
Now hold still, Miss Pouty Lips,

95
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,480
you've got bed head and we need 
to fix that. 

96
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,360
And just like that, she brushed 
my hair, slipped the bow on, and

97
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,360
handed me the mirror. 
I gasped. 

98
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,680
Who was that girl staring back 
at me? 

99
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:24,160
Me and she looked kind of cute. 
No no no no, I'm not a girl, I'm

100
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,560
Max. 
Right? 

101
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,480
Right. 
But why did that bow look so 

102
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,480
right on me? 
Why did my heart flutter when 

103
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,440
Bella called me Maxine? 
Why did I kind of love how my 

104
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:40,360
lips sparkled when I pouted? 
This cursed lipstick isn't just 

105
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,040
changing how I look, it's 
changing how I feel. 

106
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,680
And honestly, I'm not sure if 
I'm ready for what's next to be 

107
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,680
continued. 
So I may have accidentally 

108
00:07:54,680 --> 00:08:00,360
become Maxine overnight, or at 
least 70% Maxine. 

109
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,880
My lips are permanently glossy, 
my voice sounds like a pop star 

110
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,080
doing ASMR, and I now have a 
growing collection of sleepwear 

111
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,920
with bows. 
But today? 

112
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:18,600
Oh honey, today was next level. 
I tiptoed downstairs, hoping to 

113
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,200
avoid Bella. 
No such luck. 

114
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,920
She was waiting for me at the 
kitchen table like a makeover 

115
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,720
fairy godmother, sipping her 
iced coffee with one perfectly 

116
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,799
manicured hand. 
Well, well, well, she said with 

117
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:37,520
a huge grin. 
Look who's rocking that adorable

118
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,000
headband. 
Ready for your next lesson, 

119
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,760
cupcake? 
Lesson. 

120
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:49,080
What was this, girly Hogwarts? 
Before I could protest, she 

121
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,320
whisked me back upstairs to her 
room. 

122
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,840
A fluffy pink Wonderland of 
perfumes, sparkles, and about 

123
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,480
300 lip glosses. 
Lesson 1, the gloss ritual. 

124
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,040
She said, picking up a glitter 
wand shaped tube. 

125
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:10,600
You've been rocking Goddess kiss
#13 for a few days now and it's 

126
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,000
settled in. 
But to truly awaken your inner 

127
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,720
girly girl, it's time to layer. 
She unscrewed the wand and 

128
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:24,520
before I could run smooch, she 
swiped it right across my cursed

129
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,760
lips. 
My knees literally buckled. 

130
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,360
It tingled like butterflies, 
tasted like strawberry dreams, 

131
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,680
and made my lips sparkle like 
disco balls. 

132
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:42,040
I stared in the mirror, dazed. 
It's so shiny. 

133
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,960
Bella giggled. 
Every swipe brings you closer, 

134
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,600
Maxine, or should I say Tanya? 
I blinked. 

135
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,480
T Tanya. 
Oh, you'll see, it suits you so 

136
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,880
well. 
Then came lesson 2, bra basics. 

137
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,640
Wait, what? 
I squeaked as Bella pulled a 

138
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,000
Lacy little training bra from 
her drawer. 

139
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,240
You're developing fast, sweetie.
She said casually, like this was

140
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,160
totally normal. 
Cursed lipstick likes curves. 

141
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,960
I looked down. 
She was right, my chest had a 

142
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,600
tiny little swell, like my body 
was prepping for a Victoria's 

143
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:31,160
Secret casting call. 
No, no way, I'm not wearing. 

144
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,640
But before I could finish, Bella
snapped the bra behind my back 

145
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,080
like a pro. 
There you look darling. 

146
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,320
Now bounce a little for me. 
I did not bounce. 

147
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,480
OK, I bounced a little. 
My cheeks burned. 

148
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:50,400
Bella just clapped. 
Oh, look at you, my little sis 

149
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,080
is blossoming. 
I wanted to argue, I wanted to 

150
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:59,560
scream, but the glossy lips, the
fluttery lashes, the bra, they 

151
00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:04,320
all whispered a different truth.
I wasn't Max anymore, I was 

152
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,640
changing. 
And the name Tanya, well, it 

153
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,080
didn't sound so scary anymore, 
it sounded kind of pretty. 

154
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:20,800
To be continued. 
So after the whole lip gloss 

155
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:26,280
lesson in bra fitting disaster, 
I mean experience, I was hoping 

156
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,080
for a chill day. 
Spoiler alert, Bella had other 

157
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,320
plans. 
She burst into my room first 

158
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,760
thing in the morning with a high
pitched rise and sparkle. 

159
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,880
Tanya. 
Yes, she's calling me Tanya now 

160
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,680
like it's a done deal and waved 
a cute pink outfit at me. 

161
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,680
Get dressed girlfriend, today's 
the day we pop your fashion 

162
00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:51,320
cherry. 
I blinked at the outfit. 

163
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,800
It was a pastel miniskirt, a 
white off shoulder top with 

164
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:02,240
cutie pie and rhinestones and 
heels, baby pink kitten heels. 

165
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,920
Bella, I can't go outside like 
this. 

166
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,760
I squeaked. 
She just winked. 

167
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,600
You're not going outside, silly.
We're going shopping. 

168
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,720
The mall is basically the runway
for girls in training. 

169
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:20,480
Before I knew it, I was in the 
outfit, my lips freshly glossed 

170
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,080
obviously, and Bella was 
teaching me how to walk. 

171
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,960
Lesson 3, the Princess walk. 
She put a book on my head like 

172
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,400
we were in some 1950s finishing 
school and made me strut back 

173
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:40,040
and forth across her room. 
Small steps, hip swaying, chin 

174
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,280
up. 
And don't forget the wrist 

175
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,400
flick. 
She chirped. 

176
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,560
I was wobbling like a baby 
giraffe in heels and she was 

177
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:50,880
filming the whole thing 
squealing. 

178
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:56,000
OMG this is gold. 
I wanted to melt into the floor,

179
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:01,560
but I also didn't hate it. 
The click of the heels, the 

180
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:06,760
swish of my skirt, the bounce of
my, well, let's say the cursed 

181
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,080
lipstick is definitely working 
its magic. 

182
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,640
Then it was mall time. 
Bella dragged me straight to a 

183
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:19,560
boutique called Sassy and Sweet 
where the sales girl greeted us 

184
00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:26,000
with oh what a cute pair of 
sisters and Bella didn't correct

185
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,200
her, she just giggled and said 
she's a newbie. 

186
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,680
The sales girl winked. 
We love newbies. 

187
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,120
Next thing I knew I was 
surrounded by Lacy panties, push

188
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,360
up bras, crop tops, and enough 
pastel to give a Unicorn 

189
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,160
diabetes. 
They even had me try on 

190
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,080
pantyhose. 
Pantyhose. 

191
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,200
And when I came out of the 
dressing room in a flared 

192
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,240
skater's skirt and sparkly cami,
everyone clapped. 

193
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,880
Bella snapped a photo. 
Tanya, you're slaying. 

194
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:07,920
And honestly, I looked stunning.
Soft, sparkly, feminine. 

195
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,600
My cheeks were pink, my lips 
shimmered, my hair fell in cute 

196
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,360
waves around my shoulders, and I
kind of liked what I saw. 

197
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,320
What's happening to me? 
Is it the lipstick, the clothes,

198
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,560
the compliments? 
Or am I just becoming her? 

199
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,080
Becoming Tanya? 
To be continued. 

200
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:37,520
OK babes, deep breath. 
I survived the mall. 

201
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,680
I survived my first pair of 
heels. 

202
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,760
I even survived being called a 
Dorbs by three different 

203
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:51,200
strangers and kind of liking it.
But nothing, and I mean nothing 

204
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,080
could have prepared me for make 
up school with Bella and what 

205
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,760
turned into a full on Sissy 
sleepover. 

206
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:04,360
It all started after dinner. 
Bella barged into my room, 

207
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,320
tossed me a silky baby blue 
nighty with lace trim and said 

208
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,440
Tanya, tonight's your glow up 
graduation. 

209
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,800
I blinked. 
Glow up, what now? 

210
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,000
Lesson 4, she said, twirling her
brush like a wand. 

211
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,680
It's time you learned how to 
beat that face. 

212
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:31,200
And so Make up school began. 
She sat me down in front of her 

213
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,480
vanity, dimmed the lights, and 
played soft pop music in the 

214
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,320
background. 
Then she pulled out the kit. 

215
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,320
You know the one Foundation 
blush, highlight eye shadow 

216
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:48,760
palettes with names like Mermaid
Dream and Glitter Revenge. 

217
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,240
I swear it had aura first, she 
said. 

218
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,040
We contour away the boy and 
highlight the girl. 

219
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,160
She guided my hand. 
Cheekbones, darling eyes that 

220
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:08,800
pop, lips that say kiss me. 
I giggled, I couldn't help it, 

221
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,840
she was so into it and I was 
starting to love the feeling of 

222
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:18,200
the brush against my skin, the 
flutter of false lashes, the 

223
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,840
shimmer of glitter on my 
cheekbones. 

224
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,960
When she handed me the mirror, I
gasped. 

225
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:32,320
The girl looking back at me had 
doe eyes, glossy lips and a 

226
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:39,160
twinkle in her smile. 
She was cute like TikTok queen 

227
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:45,800
cute like gets invited to all 
the popular girls parties cute. 

228
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,880
And then the doorbell rang. 
Surprise. 

229
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,880
Bella squealed. 
Sleepover. 

230
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,400
Before I could even process, two
of her friends burst into the 

231
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:06,560
room, Jazzy and Mia both rocking
matching PJS and fuzzy slippers.

232
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,839
And guess what? 
They brought another satin 

233
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:13,240
knighty for me. 
We heard all about your little 

234
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,800
transformation, Tanya. 
Mia said with a wink. 

235
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,440
Bella says you're the sweetest 
little Sissy in training. 

236
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,359
I turned bright red, but they 
didn't laugh. 

237
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:30,560
They squealed, hugged me, called
me cutie, and then we did 

238
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:35,240
facials, played truth or dare, 
and painted each other's nails 

239
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,200
while watching ROM coms and 
eating marshmallows. 

240
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:44,200
Somewhere between dare and lip 
gloss reapplication #7 I 

241
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,080
realized something. 
I wasn't pretending any more. 

242
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:53,160
The voice, the giggles, the way 
I loved how my skirt swirled 

243
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,520
when I twirled. 
It wasn't just the lipstick, it 

244
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:03,920
was me, the real me, Tanya. 
And when Bella whispered 

245
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,080
Tomorrow's your final step 
Princess. 

246
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,120
I felt a little shiver of 
excitement. 

247
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,200
What is it? 
I whispered back. 

248
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,640
She smiled. 
You'll see sweetie, it's your 

249
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:25,600
big reveal to be continued. 
So here we are, from 1 little 

250
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,640
swipe of cursed lipstick to 
this. 

251
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:35,280
It's wild right? 
A few days ago I was Max, 

252
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:42,480
awkward hoodie wearing boy next 
door Max, and now I'm sitting at

253
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:47,360
Bella's vanity in a silky blush 
pink robe sipping iced rose. 

254
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,720
OK fine, it's sparkling juice, 
but a girl can pretend while she

255
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,160
curls my hair for the final step
of my transformation. 

256
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,640
Are you nervous? 
She asks, giving me that big 

257
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,000
sister grin I used to roll my 
eyes at. 

258
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,920
Now I just smile softly and nod,
cheeks already glowing from 

259
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:13,240
blush and excitement. 
I think I'm ready. 

260
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:18,040
I whisper, feeling the flutter 
of my false lashes and the 

261
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,920
tightness of my matching pink 
bra hugging curves that didn't 

262
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,720
even exist a week ago. 
Bella giggles. 

263
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,920
Princess Tanya, your moment has 
come. 

264
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,160
She hands me the dress. 
It's the one I spotted in the 

265
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,840
boutique window earlier this 
week and secretly gasped at a 

266
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:44,320
strapless satin dream in soft 
lavender with Pearl detailing on

267
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:49,520
the bodice and a poofy layered 
skirt that swishes like magic. 

268
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,840
I slip into it slowly, savouring
the way the fabric hugs my now 

269
00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:01,240
soft, girlish body. 
Bella zips me up and clasps A 

270
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,320
dainty diamond necklace around 
my neck. 

271
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:12,720
She even gives me a tiny tiara. 
Yes, an actual sparkly tiara, 

272
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:18,360
because of course she does. 
Then she hands me a fresh tube 

273
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:24,600
of lipstick. 
Goddess kiss M13 forbidden pink,

274
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,560
ready to seal your 
transformation. 

275
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,680
She whispers. 
I nod, holding my breath. 

276
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:38,120
I twist the tube and glide it 
across my already perfect lips. 

277
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,680
One last swipe. 
This time it doesn't tingle. 

278
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:48,200
It glows like Stardust and 
moonbeams and all the giggles in

279
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,280
the world lighting up inside me.
I feel it flood through my 

280
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:58,440
veins, this bubbly, fizzy 
feminine energy, and suddenly it

281
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,200
clicks. 
I'm not Max pretending to be a 

282
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,200
girl. 
I'm not a boy in a dress. 

283
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:11,200
I'm Tanya forever. 
I open my eyes and catch my 

284
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:18,000
reflection, hair in soft waves, 
eyes wide and sparkly, lips 

285
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:24,120
glossy and kissable, cheeks 
flushed, waist tiny, hips 

286
00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:31,360
curved, breasts full and round 
under the satin and my smile 

287
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,640
radiant. 
Bella claps her hands. 

288
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:41,680
Tanya, darling, you're stunning.
Just then her friends peek in 

289
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:46,240
and squeal. 
Oh my God, look at her, she's 

290
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,320
perfect. 
Total transformation. 

291
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,000
They surround me, fussing over 
my dress, fixing my tiara, 

292
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,960
reapplying a touch of shimmer. 
I'm glowing from the inside out 

293
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:06,880
and I feel whole, like I finally
stepped into the glitter. 

294
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,640
Girly, fabulous version of me 
that was always waiting just 

295
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:17,120
below the surface. 
No more Max, no more pretending 

296
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,280
I'm Tanya. 
The cursed lipstick didn't ruin 

297
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:26,400
me, it revealed me. 
Princess Tanya, your glitter 

298
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,280
girl next door and full time 
fabulous forever.
