Transcript excerpt

Why is Alexis Stone always afraid to show his real face? Alexis Stone appeared at Milan Fashion Week with Mona Lisa's face. But if you watch his videos, you'll notice that he almost never shows his real face. Some think he just enjoys mimicking, but there are actually three hidden reasons behind this. First of all, Alexis has always been insecure. He started wearing dresses as a child and grew up longing to truly become a girl. However, frequent surgeries caused his face to become unrecognizable and even swollen, making him too afraid to show his original face to the public. During his recovery process, Alexis discovered the joy of drag. Not only did he gain countless fans with his excellent makeup skills, but he also found invitations. He was invited to several major red carpet events, and drag made him a true star, successfully restoring his confidence. Worst importantly, he is afraid that revealing his original appearance too much would cause him to lose a large number of fans. Alexis has no choice better to constantly innovate his facial looks. He even created a true face mold rank can stay under an airtight mask for an entire day.
