LADY REAPER, 34, is the only 'Visual Kei Goth' in Miami... She stands out amongst her friendship group and the vibrant Miami nightlife, but despite this, she revels in the attention that her style brings. Lady Reaper told Transformed: "You won't see anybody in Miami dressed like me. I'm the one my friends warn you about... She's dark, she's weird, but I promise you you'll love her!" Lady Reaper feels her most powerful and confident in her 'Visual Kei Goth' style, but she has been on the receiving end of some negative judgments for looking this way. She said: "A lot of people come up to me saying; 'why do you dress like that?'... 'Do you worship the devil?' I've even been told I'm trying to 'hide my true ugliness'. Negative attention is still attention, so say what you wanna say!" Lady Reaper's best friends have asked her to dress differently at least once a week for as far as she can remember... So today she's finally giving them what they want! With the help of makeup artist Kirby, Lady Reaper is transforming into a 'glamourous Miami babe' but how will her friends react? Will they even recognise their 'Visual Kei Goth' girl? Will they love or hate what they see? Hold onto your hats, this could be a BIG reaction!

00:00You won't see anybody in Miami dressed like me.
00:02I'm pretty sure I'm the only visual K goth in Miami.
00:06A lot of people coming up to me,
00:07why do you dress like that?
00:09Do you worship the devil?
00:11My friends have asked me to dress differently
00:14at least once a week.
00:15Today I'm being transformed from my visual K goth style
00:19to a sexy Miami beauty.
00:21My best friends have been wanting me to do this for so long.
00:24It's been driving me crazy,
00:26but I'm gonna do it and I'm terrified.
00:29Oh, I hate the color orange.
00:31This is so much color.
00:32Where did all the black go?
00:43Hi.
00:44How are you?
00:46I'm okay.
00:46How are you?
00:47I'm great.
00:48I'm so excited.
00:49My name is Kirby.
00:49Nice to meet you.
00:50I'm Lady Reaper.
00:51Nice to meet you.
00:52All right.
00:53My name is Lady Reaper.
00:54I am a fashionista for the goth community.
00:59If I could summarize my look in a few words,
01:01it would be glamorous, dark, high fashion couture.
01:07You won't see anybody in Miami dressed like me.
01:10I'm pretty sure I'm the only visual K goth in Miami.
01:13Today I'm being transformed from my visual K goth style
01:16to a sexy Miami babe.
01:19My best friends have been wanting me to do this for so long,
01:22but I'm absolutely terrified.
01:28So today we're doing a bronzy, glowy,
01:32super defined glam type of look.
01:35It's gonna be different than what she's used to,
01:37but she's gonna look great.
01:39All right, Lady Reaper.
01:40I'm ready for you.
01:41Come take a seat.
01:42I don't know if I'm ready for you.
01:45I'm assuming you want me to remove my wig.
01:47Yes.
01:49Here we go.
01:51Lashes are my pride and joy.
01:52I already feel naked.
01:54So I'm using the Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm on you.
01:58It hydrates, but at the same time it takes away everything.
02:03Did you make what you're wearing today?
02:05Yes, the entire outfit was made by yours truly, Lady Reaper.
02:09I have a fashion for passion.
02:11I make everything.
02:14As a kid, I was a ballet dancer.
02:16We have to look a certain way in ballet.
02:19Because of that, I felt like I suppressed who I really was.
02:22We had rules that we had to follow.
02:24Our nails couldn't be a certain way.
02:25Our hair couldn't be a certain way.
02:27We had to basically all look the same.
02:30And so after retiring from ballet,
02:32I finally got the confidence to dress how I wanted.
02:35I felt like the super bad girl.
02:38Like it was just, this is me.
02:40I'm ready.
02:40I'm ready to take over.
02:42I'm like, I'm not gonna hold back.
02:43I look like the has-been blue man group.
02:49Okay, let me wash my face.
02:52So this is the Embryolisse Moisturizer.
02:56It's really good for normal to dry skin.
03:00So I see your eyebrows are shaved.
03:04Yes, it's a very goth thing to do.
03:07Okay, so now I'm gonna use this brow blade from Urban Decay
03:12and basically draw on your eyebrows.
03:15Sometimes I get judged on the way I look.
03:17People like, why do you dress like that?
03:20Do you worship the devil?
03:22The worst thing that has ever been said
03:25was someone told me that I'm just dressed like this
03:27because I'm not really pretty.
03:28And underneath all of this, I'm probably a really ugly person.
03:32So this is just me disguising my true ugliness.
03:37Negative attention is still attention.
03:40So say whatever you want to say.
03:43So what made you want to do this transformation today?
03:46I just kind of want to fit in with my friends
03:49and be a quote-unquote Miami gal
03:53so that they leave me alone for five seconds.
03:57My best friend, Marilyn, I love her.
03:59She's totally opposite to me.
04:00We're literally oil and water.
04:03She's very Miami glam, very, you know, tight pants,
04:07mini skirts, bright colors, lime green, orange,
04:11all the colors that make me cringe.
04:13That is my best friend.
04:15Being the only visual kid goth in my friendship group,
04:18I'm, you know, the oddball.
04:20I'm the one that they warn about when we go out.
04:22She's dark, she's weird, but I promise you, you'll love her.
04:26All right, so the last step is lipstick.
04:27This is Patrick Ta.
04:29She's unapologetic.
04:31This is the Fenty Beauty Sweet Mouth Lip Gloss.
04:36You can go get dressed now.
04:37Remember not to look in there, okay?
04:44Are you ready?
04:45I don't think so, but okay, just go.
04:47Yeah, I'm ready, I'm ready.
04:48Three, two, one.
04:57Oh my god, I don't even look like myself.
05:00I look crazy.
05:02Stop.
05:02Stop.
05:04I look like a completely different person.
05:08I'm so brown.
05:12So much bronze.
05:14I hate the color orange so much.
05:19Like, I can't even walk.
05:24Oh my god, and my brows, I have brows.
05:27And the nude lip.
05:28Oh, I don't do nude lip.
05:29And goal hoop.
05:31Oh my gosh, that's a lot.
05:33This is like 110% something that I would never in a million years.
05:40It could be the end of the world and this was my option and I still wouldn't do it.
05:45How do you think your friends are going to react?
05:47They're done for.
05:48Like, I will never, ever, ever hear the end of this.
05:53I will never, ever, ever hear the end of this.
05:58Her being the only goth in the group, we respect her style,
06:01but we would love to see her in some type of like other color other than black.
06:06We don't know what to expect.
06:07It's a surprise.
06:09We're waiting for her, but we don't even know if she's here.
06:11She left the door open.
06:14You don't do that in Miami.
06:15All right, guys, I'm coming.
06:24Ah!
06:44Don't get used to it.
06:45Remember this.
06:46Record this and put it in your little keepsake.
06:50Wow.
06:54You can see your eyes.
06:56Look at this freaking color.
06:57You know how much I hate orange.
07:00You look beautiful.
07:01This should be an everyday thing.
07:03You look so good.
07:04I'm really happy you decided to at least attempt another color other than black.
07:09So everyone's reaction was exactly what I expected it to be.
07:13Out of control, ridiculous.
07:14And I know I'm never going to hear the end of it.
07:16But yeah, I'm glad that I actually was able to make them react in a way that was shocking.
07:21Let's take a selfie.
07:23Oh my god.
07:26Smile.
07:31It's pretty.
07:33It's just not maybe for me pretty.
07:36It's Miami for sure.
07:39And just a reminder that I hate the color orange.
07:42I think I said this like 10 times already.
07:46This experience has taught me that do not compare yourself to others.
07:51That there's no need to change who you are.
07:53And that it doesn't matter if you look like this or you look like my other version.
07:58My real version.
07:59You're still you.
08:21you
