Issues surrounding gender fluidity have been an important topic of conversation these past few years.
Whether one is young or old, those who don’t identify with their physical gender are encouraged to choose a gender identity that better suits them. Makeup artist Vinny Ohh has a unique outlook on this. He doesn’t identify with being a man or woman, or a human being for that matter, and as such has gone through extraordinary lengths to look the part of ‘an extra-terrestrial hot mess’ as he calls himself.
From cheek and lip fillers to botox, Vinny has gone through a wide assortment of plastic surgery to fulfill his inner beauty.
Read on to find out more about Vinny Ohh and how he hopes to transform into a gender-less alien.
On his Instagram page, Vinny calls himself a makeup addict and a plastic surgery worshiper. And a plastic surgery worshiper he is—he spent over $50,000 for over 110 procedures.
These procedures include 12 cheek fillers, 2 brow fillers, 15 lip fillers, 5 Botox sessions and at least 2 nose jobs. The list goes on but Vinny is planning on getting his genitals, nipples and belly button removed as well.
Moreover, he hopes to get his forehead realigned, his ear pinned, another nose job, an eyelid revision, and jaw and cheek implants. All of these procedures will add up to over $160,000.
Vinny received his first plastic surgery when he was 17 years old and he has been under the knife ever since.
Hailing from Los Angeles in California, Vinny always felt like an outcast as a child. Due to these feeling as a child, he learned to love himself for who he is by being confident and brave in his own skin. According to Vinny, ever since he was a teen he’s wanted to change.
“I wanted to be sexless and gender-less since I was 17. I’ve been going to doctors to see if it’s possible but had no luck.” Now, 24, Vinny is coming closer to that wish with every additional procedure.
Vinny’s goal is not to change genders (become a woman) but rather he is trying to become ‘a hybrid.’ He doesn’t want to be a man or woman, rather an alien.
He just ‘wants his outside to match how he feels on the inside.’ He identifies more as an alien and to fulfill that look he rocks extreme black contacts and talons on his fingernails.
Vinny goes on to say that he has no need for genitals and getting them removed would only make his life easier since he ‘tucks’ everyday.
His confidence and bravery stems from the fact that ever since he was 16, he’s been wearing full bodysuits and eight-inch platforms out in public. He says that his personal slogan is: ‘extraterrestrial, hot mess, [and] self-obsessed’
His reasoning for wanting to become an alien is actually pretty simple and straightforward.
In an interview, Vinny stated that: ‘I do kind of look like a Martian, I have a really big head, [and] no eyebrows so I’ve just been connecting with that.’
Even though he doesn’t identify as being gay, bi or trans, Vinny is a huge advocate and LGBTQ activist.
He believes that people should not be bound by labels and placed into these boxes of social and gender norms. He believes that individuality should be encouraged.
It is without a doubt that when Vinny steps out in public he receives a lot of stares and maybe some unwanted attention. The dichotomy between the reaction he elicits is pretty extreme.
He says he’s had some parents come up to him and praise him for his confidence while other people have thrown shopping carts at him.
Vinny says that some people love him for being so open and see him as a celebration to coming out (as who you are) and not being afraid.
He’s said: ‘‘I don’t look real and people love it. Some people have said they want their kids to be like me and that I’m an inspiration for children who don’t feel like they belong.’
And that’s exactly what Vinny wants to do.
He wants to create awareness and help bridge this gap between fearing what others think of you versus embracing and loving yourself.
On his YouTube channel, he says that he is happy with who he is as a person. He doesn’t care what pronouns people call him as it is a transition for them as much as it is for him.
Vinny embraces his unique appearance because he knows he doesn’t want to appear male or female. His goal is to appear ‘sex-less’
According to Vinny he says that he uses ‘colors a lot’ in order to focus on appearing sex-less. He says there’s ‘no shade’ he wouldn’t experiment with.
His use of large black contact lenses are a ‘necessity’ to him as he compares them to Marge’s pearl necklace. He likes to wear them everywhere he can.
He states that it makes his eyes ‘look super massive. Some people call it demonic, but I think it looks beautiful like an animal.’
As for removing his genitals, he says that he ‘could live without sexual organs’ so why should he have those organs.
His thoughts are that because he doesn’t identify as a man or woman he shouldn’t need to ‘have anything down there.’
The part time model is set to appear on a television show called The Plastics of Hollywood.
The reality show centers around plastic surgery addicts who will live together in a house and have a talent agency help ‘nurture their talents’ without relying on their looks.
The producer and presenter Marcela Iglesias commented on Vinny as “an alien new generation of people who want to look different.
In 15 years, hundreds of people will want to look like [him.]”
The producer also said: “I’m trying to wake people up to show them that gender roles in society do not matter and show them that we need to be better human beings and nicer to one another.
”
Vinny says his purpose of going on that show is to “change everyone’s mind about human dolls.”
