Hi Kevin,
How are you? How have you been? If you could only choose one word to describe your day or weekend right now, what would it be?
Hehe whatever it is, I hope you spent it well and if it's not something positive, don't worry, that's okay too, you'll be okay. I hope you're getting some rest right now! I know it's nerve wracking to know what they will say about South Korea's protocols tomorrow considering the fan concert and all, but whatever happens, everything will be okay. Don't let it bother you too much 🥺 But I understand the worry too, I know all of you worked so hard and prepared everything at your best effort for this fancon to push through. I think it will push through. I have faith it will.
Anyway, I don't have an art rec for you right now since today's art rec was already posted. (Yu Jinyoung). I just wanted to write to you before I go to sleep (early). I needed to write to you, in order to help ease my nerves. It's working so far.
Why am I nervous? Well, in just less than 10 hours is my thesis panel defense. I know you know a thing or two about that but just in case, thesis panel defense is where we'll be meeting with a panel of business professionals and I have to present the business plan containing every single thing about the startup company of the loungewear I designed. They'll be asking questions too like a forum of Q&A and I have to answer all of them (defend). It is so scary thinking about it but at the same time, I shouldn't be scared because I know this business/company more than they do. Yet I'm really apprehensive, because I'm not sure I can present strategies that are unique enough to satisfy the panel. Most, if not all, of the strategies I could think of already exist in the industry.. sigh
Anyways, apologies for ranting haha! I'm just very nervous, hence the title. Hihi. Writing it out like this helped diminish the worries though. Thank you for listening, Kev. I really appreciate you. As a singer. As an idol. As a visual artist or creative. As a friend. As a person. I feel grateful everyday for your presence in this world. 🤍
Oh! Before I go, I forgot to comment on your boylog!! Wait, I think I did already? No I didn't! Oh no, I can't remember. I'm just going to do it still though.
Thank you so much for the vlog! It was such a gift 🥺 I love love love seeing you do things may it be something mundane/simple, or not. I took your advice in your workout vlog to take a break (that's longer than 10 seconds) in between sets and it made getting through each routine easier.
Aside from that you also showed us how you practiced doing your Halloween makeup and I enjoyed watching you do it 😭 I'm glad you got to find out about soaking the palette knife/mini spatula in hot water for blending the wax! I learned about that technique in theatre, I was in charge of boiling the water in our backstage kettle. Hahah! I saw SFX makeup closeup too and even got to try my hand on it myself! But I wasn't able to try liquid latex. I was in charge of creating/painting bruises on people instead. PAINTING OKAY. Not bruising them 😭 I'm quite good at it actually because I love playing with body paint and we had to do them because we staged a play about fraternity culture.
Anyway, it's amazing how you set aside time to practice doing the makeup before the actual day you needed to do it! That definitely made the final outcome a whole lot better even though the result of your first try practice was already so good to begin with. I wish I saw how you did the hair too! Did you use a temporary hair spray paint? Hahaha! Loved the black streak for Kevruella tbh!
I'm also so so curious how you came up with showing your ripped off flesh/face transitioning to a dalmatian. Like what was the creative or thought process? I think it's a really nice touch and I've never seen anyone interpret Cruella that way before. I also really like how you didn't "zombify" Cruella by overusing the fake blood because a lot of people seem to do that for Halloween. Yours was just right. The concept is really impressive, so is the execution! I love ittt. Not only the make up but also the costume outfit of course! You got every single detail complete.
Also I can't believe you even got to set aside time for playing the piano for the vlog despite the very very busy schedule you had. I'm so grateful seriously thank you! I was so happy when you started singing Paris in the Rain because it's one of the songs from the playlist I curated for you. Your cover, albeit short, was gorgeous, and so with the two other songs, Someone You Loved and Defying Gravity. Ah yes, my theatre soul loved that so much. (THIS IS A LONG SIDE NOTE SORRY: Your defying gravity cover is actually the main video of the Kevin's vocals thread I made on Twitter because it showcases so so much of how gorgeous your vocals are. If I have to choose a fav video under that thread, it would be your cover of Stand By Your Man. Fun fact! When I was still starting to get to know you, I cried when I first heard your cover of Stand By Your Man. I was just smiling watching you play the piano and listening to Jacob sing the first verse but as soon as your voice entered, as soon as you started singing, for some reason I teared up. Like I physically felt my eyes well up with tears and when you sang the sole syllable of the word "by" so beautifully, the tears just fell. It was absolutely beau-no beautiful is an understatement. You singing that was like hearing the angels sing. No, fr, I'm convinced Kevin Moon singing Stand By Your Man the way that he did would be how it would sound like when entering the gates of Heaven. After that, I replayed your part so many times and decided that 'Ah, I'm going to stay and stand by his side indeed.' And here I am).
I also wanna commend you for the dedication in editing a new rendition of Nightmares just to fit the audio for the TikTok, I think that's really really cool of you. Show us your other audio projects or unreleased songs/covers/mixtapes please. What do I have to do to get more Kevin Moon self composed songs 🙏🏼 Only say the word and I shall comply, haha!
Okay I'll end this here now.
WISH ME LUCK FOR MY THESIS PANEL DEFENSE IN LESS THAN 8 HOURS. 🥺
Jk. I got this.
OH! One more thing. I know I say this a lot but thank you, Kevin. Just for everything. This thesis has been one of the toughest things I have ever made and gone through, and our company is launching soon with products I designed myself. Without you, I don't think this ride would be as enjoyable and bearable as it was. You were a huge part, you still are, of creating this startup business. You have motivated me so so much. Thank you! For always giving me strength and happiness! I really hope I can do the same for you. Love ya x
Your artsy best friend, Trish 💌
