Hudson, tell me about this makeup look,

'cause this is cool.

Okay, we have two stories going on.

We have this one,

which is kind of like an old crystal ball thing,

but the makeup is inspired by Black Swan,

because me and my groomer, Aika, love that movie.

We wanted to reference cinema, and we kinda wanted to do

the White Swan becoming the Black Swan a little bit, yeah.

You did a great job on that.

Thank you.

I can't stop looking at you, like this is really cool.

It's crazy, right?

And then the hair too?

Yeah. Yeah, it's cool.

No, it's insane.

Definitely cool. I think I killed it.

Tonight, Hudson, it's all about celebrating the body

in all its forms.

So what's something you appreciate most about your body?

I like how it listens to me, you know?

When I treat it right,

it gives me back how much work I put into it.

Very true.

And then it hates me when I don't, but that's okay.

Treat it bad, it doesn't like us.

It yells at me. Exactly.

It just shuts down.

Well, I hope you have the best time tonight.

Thank you so much. Thank you for stopping by.

Absolutely incredible look.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, Hudson. I love the finger.

I love it, I love it.
