Pride and beauty: The makeup-wearing Buddhist monk and LGBTQ+ activist
I have done makeup for one of my idols Carson Kressley, the original cast of 'Queer Eye' and now the judge of 'Ru Paul's Drag Race'. I was assigned to do his makeup during a Miss USA and Miss Universe pageant. And I was really happy because he was one of the first representations within the LGBTQ community that a person can be out and proud and also be celebrated on TV, which was not common at all in Japan.I was also a part of Queer Eye.
