SOCIAL media influencer and leader of ‘BimboTok’ is ditching her Barbie blonde hair and bright pink outfits to find her inner goth. Chrissy, 21, from Chicago, has over four million followers on TikTok and is a key figure in the online Bimbo revival. Chrissy told Truly: “Dressing super pink and feminine is one of the most empowering things that I do - I love it so much!” Chrissy is transforming into the total opposite of her style as a goth, a look she loves but is nervous to transform into. “I truly love the style,” she says. But a “full goth is very opposite to who I am right now.”

00:00Dressing super feminine and super pink and everything
00:04is one of the most empowering things that I do.
00:08And I love it so, so, so, so much.
00:11Today, I am transforming from a super girly style
00:16to a super goth style.
00:20Ooh, these fishnets.
00:23That's, that's hot.
00:27Oh my God.
00:30Honestly, it usually takes me, I'd say an hour.
00:38I've gotten to the point where I can do my makeup
00:40in like a half hour to 40 minutes.
00:43To pick my outfit, that is definitely a 20 minute ordeal.
00:47It's hard to choose which pink dress to wear every day.
00:52Hi, I am Chrissy Shepeka.
00:55I'm 21 years old and I'm from Chicago, Illinois.
00:59My style is like a very bimbo core, um, pink all the time.
01:05And if I'm not wearing pink, it has to be pastels and light colors.
01:09Cause like those other colors just don't look good on me.
01:13I've dressed this way since I was like five years old.
01:18I had a phase where I only wore princess dresses for like two years straight when I was little.
01:23So it's been forever.
01:25I think I'm always going to dress like this.
01:28Like I can see myself like 70 years old in a mini skirt and like a pair of stilettos and like rocking it.
01:35Today, I am going to be in full goth glam.
01:42I am very opposite of who I am right now and I am so excited but a little bit nervous.
01:49I truly love the goth style.
01:53I am attracted to people who are like reverse me.
01:58I don't know how well I'd pull it off, but like I am open to anything.
02:07Ew, these fishnets, that's, that's hot, love that.
02:16Whoa, this really is going to cover my body.
02:26Hey guys. Hi. Hi, how are you?
02:29I'm good. How are you? I'm Liv.
02:30Good. Nice to meet you, Liv. Nice to meet you.
02:32Oh my gosh.
02:35So, in terms of like being super different, it's going to be mainly in the coloring and like the amount of like smokiness.
02:44It's going to be different for her.
02:45The biggest misconception about my style is probably that I do this for male attention or the male gaze.
03:02That if you dress a certain way, you're asking for a certain response.
03:06I am dressing for myself and I do not care about what a man thinks of me.
03:13Ready? I guess now.
03:21Oh my God. I do not look like, what the?
03:28What the? I swear. Whoa.
03:37This is not me. Who is this girl? Who is she? I could totally get into this one. Love.
03:47I'm Kevin. I'm Chrissy's brother. She's going to come out in a brand new look. Something different from her usual pink getup.
03:54I love anything hyper femme and girly super fun oh my god this is a trick-or-treat
04:13It's really incredible my jaw definitely like makes me want to experiment more with my fashion I think and just see
04:22Where else I can take it while still making it true to myself
04:27I I don't know if this will ever happen again
04:32But that means that it's cool
