Extraterrestrial To ‘Peaky Blinders’ - It's Disturbing | TRANSFORMED
MICHAEL Moon, from Essex, UK, thinks of themself as an extraterrestrial who consistently stands out in the crowd. Moon has always dressed in their own unique way and would describe their look as a 'Utopian Shamen'. Moon told Transformed: "Utopia for us is the symbiosis of nature and basic evolution, so whatever any other creature creates, whether it's animal, it's human... It doesn't matter." Moon's incredible look garners a lot of admiration from members of the public, however, not all of the attention is positive. Moon said: "We don't think about being judged, we are our own judge and that's enough. We don't care about anyone's opinion, there is only one creature that everything's based on - and that's Moon." Today, Moon will be transformed from their 'Utopian Shamen Aesthetic' to a 'Traditional Conservative Look', with the help of makeup artist, Jayne. Will Moon feel out of place with their new humanistic look? Or will Moon be surprised and love their transformation?

00:00 Today we are being transformed from our own look to a more conservative look.
00:04 We do see ourselves as extraterrestrial.
00:06 We always stand out for some reason.
00:08 We do feel like humans do react to things that they are not even maybe aware of.
00:13 Are you ready to see your big transformation?
00:16 Yeah!
00:17 Oh wow, okay.
00:19 The eyebrows!
00:21 We'll be revealing our look to Angie, who is our beloved creature.
00:25 Oh wow!
00:28 [Laughter]
00:32 Our name is Michael Moon.
00:34 We are a utopian and we think of ourselves as a shaman.
00:38 We look the way we want to look.
00:41 Utopia for us is symbiosis of nature and basic evolution.
00:47 So whatever any other creature creates.
00:50 If it's animal, if it's human, it doesn't matter.
00:53 So do you see yourself as extraterrestrial?
00:55 Yes, we do see ourselves as extraterrestrial.
00:57 And what does that mean?
00:59 Hmm, that's a secret.
01:01 You can't describe it with the human words.
01:03 Today we are being transformed from our own look to a more conservative look.
01:07 [Knock on door]
01:08 Hi!
01:10 How are you?
01:11 Welcome here.
01:12 We are going to really pare back Moon's look, go more natural.
01:17 And go for a bit more rugged, handsome look.
01:21 So maybe not the usual.
01:22 Yeah, so that's what we're doing today.
01:24 What do you think of Moon's look now?
01:26 Yeah, very unique.
01:28 Ethereal, comes to mind.
01:30 Yeah, especially with the ears.
01:32 Yeah, that's beautiful.
01:34 Yeah, very unique.
01:35 If we could summarise our look in words, we would say
01:39 futurism, shamanism and nature.
01:43 What attracts us to this aesthetic is our feeling.
01:47 That's what everything is based on.
01:48 All of our actions are literally feeling based.
01:52 No, how do you unglue your ears?
01:54 You just remove it.
01:55 Just pull off?
01:56 Yeah, totally fine.
01:57 It's really hard for us to pinpoint the phrase of when we started to dress this way.
02:03 For us, we've just been always dressing the way we wanted to be looking.
02:07 So there was no beginning and there will be no end to it.
02:10 We always stand out for some reason.
02:12 Everyone keeps turning their heads towards you.
02:14 We do feel like humans do react to things that they are not even maybe aware of.
02:19 How come you decided to remove your eyebrow hair?
02:22 It was not feeling right to have any facial hair.
02:25 So we are removing completely, not just shaving, but actually removing eyebrows.
02:31 Okay.
02:32 How do you feel about me creating brows on you today, Moon?
02:36 Yeah, that's the only thing we are quite anxious about.
02:38 Yeah, I can imagine.
02:40 We really hate eyebrows on Moon.
02:42 Yeah.
02:42 We do not mind it on humans, but Moon with the eyebrows is a big no.
02:50 This is Embryolisse.
02:52 This is a good all-rounder moisturizer for most people, even really sensitive skin.
02:57 I think this should be okay for you, but let me know if there's any...
03:00 No.
03:01 ...irritation.
03:02 No, that's totally fine, thank you.
03:04 So I'm going to go in and add some foundation.
03:08 It's MAC Face and Body foundation.
03:11 Do you get judged on the way you look or dress?
03:13 Obviously, we do, yes.
03:14 How does that make you feel?
03:16 We don't think about if we are being judged.
03:18 We are our own judge and that's enough.
03:21 We don't ever feel worried or self-conscious when we are who we are on the streets.
03:26 And that's because we don't care about anyone else's opinion.
03:31 There is only one creature that's everything based on, and it's Moon.
03:34 We surround ourselves with everyone who's been very accepted to us, obviously.
03:38 So who are you planning to reveal this look to, Moon?
03:42 We'll be revealing a look to Angie, who we are extremely close with.
03:46 Mm-hmm.
03:46 Yeah, we just adore Angie.
03:48 [MUSIC]
03:50 [KNOCKING]
03:51 Hi, Moon!
03:55 Oh, thank you so much for coming.
03:59 Oh, sure, of course.
04:01 I know Moon through my daughter.
04:05 One day I came back home and there was Moon.
04:08 I just feel like everything Moon's wearing is a part of Moon.
04:11 And I love the way that Moon dresses because it's very individual
04:15 and it's very much just themselves.
04:18 Thank you so much.
04:19 [LAUGHTER]
04:21 So how are you feeling about your transformation today, Moon?
04:24 Well, we are curious what it will be, honestly.
04:27 Yeah.
04:28 And you've never seen us in something very conservative.
04:31 Yeah, I actually never have.
04:33 Yeah.
04:34 So I'm looking forward to it.
04:35 Yeah, it's going to be interesting for sure.
04:38 But you know, you might love it.
04:39 So let's see.
04:41 [LAUGHTER]
04:42 Oh, that's scary.
04:44 So obviously Moon doesn't have any hair on their brows.
04:48 So I'm just adding some natural hair strokes using
04:52 a micro-blading mapping pencil.
04:55 If there is one thing we are very apprehensive about
04:58 is the eyebrows.
04:58 We just really do not like Moon has eyebrows.
05:01 So I think that that might be a bit of a challenge.
05:04 Moon, how are you feeling about having brows put on you right now?
05:06 For now, we can't see anything.
05:08 So we feel really good.
05:09 [LAUGHTER]
05:10 We are open-minded for now.
05:12 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:16 All right, Moon.
05:17 So I think it's time for you to get changed now.
05:19 And then we're going to do your hair after.
05:20 And so it's easier for me to work around.
05:22 OK?
05:23 Yeah, makes sense.
05:23 OK.
05:24 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:27 How are you feeling, Moon?
05:29 You ready to see your big transformation?
05:31 Yeah.
05:32 Yeah, we are ready to see the transformation.
05:34 Good.
05:35 OK, let's do it.
05:37 One, two, three.
05:41 Oh, wow, OK.
05:42 Wow, OK.
05:45 The eyebrows!
05:46 [LAUGHTER]
05:48 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:51 We do enjoy the outfit.
05:53 Yeah.
05:53 Yeah.
05:54 Very zephyr, very suave look.
05:55 Very handsome.
05:56 Yeah.
05:57 It is actually fun, we have to say.
05:59 Yeah.
05:59 You did a very good job with the eyebrows.
06:01 You actually literally think this was our natural shape.
06:05 Yeah.
06:06 Which is insane.
06:06 No one ever does our natural shape.
06:08 So this is the first time we see--
06:09 It's good.
06:10 But it is disturbing.
06:12 [LAUGHTER]
06:13 The best bits are the shoes.
06:15 We adore the shoes.
06:17 What is the worst thing about having eyebrows?
06:19 Is it that bad for you?
06:20 Yeah, it is horrible.
06:21 Yeah.
06:23 What is the worst about it?
06:26 We don't know.
06:26 It just doesn't feel right.
06:29 I have never seen Moon in a different style before.
06:33 No, this will be the first time.
06:35 I'm excited.
06:35 I'm looking forward to it.
06:37 I think it will be really fun.
06:38 Yeah.
06:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]
06:42 Oh, wow.
06:45 Yeah!
06:45 Wow!
06:46 [LAUGHTER]
06:48 You look kind of like Peaky Blinders or--
06:57 Ooh.
06:58 You know, something like that.
07:00 I like it, though.
07:01 You like it?
07:02 I like the suit.
07:02 I mean, the suit is good.
07:04 I like the kind of--
07:05 Yeah, look at that.
07:06 Oh, I like those.
07:07 Right.
07:07 Those are really good.
07:09 And the shoes-- oh, yeah, they look a bit like my shoes.
07:11 They do.
07:12 Matching.
07:13 Twins.
07:13 Yeah, twins.
07:15 But this is a nice look.
07:18 Oh, yeah, you've got eyebrows.
07:19 Oh, my god.
07:20 That's the strangest thing, like you said.
07:22 Right, exactly.
07:23 [MUSIC PLAYING]
07:27 The eyebrows, I think, should go.
07:28 Just a little bit, right?
07:30 You kind of look surprised.
07:31 [LAUGHTER]
07:36 If you turned up my door like this unannounced--
07:39 Yes, right?
07:39 I would just feel like, what is happening?
07:44 This experience make us just appreciate even
07:48 that simple things can still be fun,
07:51 just to get wild once in a while and just
07:54 have fun with the friendlings and try some dress up
07:57 that you never thought of.
07:58 Is that what you're going to do now?
08:00 Absolutely.
08:01 But without this outfit, and definitely
08:02 without these eyebrows.
