- August 28, 2021
Abbey and Phoenix are the focus of episode 9 of 100% Hotter season 1. The show is a makeover series where people who have unique or outlandish fashion styles receive makeovers from a team of style experts. The goal is to tone down their look to make them more appealing to a wider audience while still retaining their individuality.
In this episode, Abbey and Phoenix are both known for their punk-inspired style. Abbey has bright pink and purple hair with a lot of piercings and tattoos. Phoenix also has a lot of piercings and tattoos, along with brightly colored hair. They both see their fashion style as an expression of themselves, but they admit that they feel like they get judged by others because of it.
The team of experts, which includes fashion stylist Karen Williams, hair stylist Daniel K Palmer, and makeup artist Melissa Sophia, begin by looking at the two individuals before them. They assess their style and haircut, questioning why they would wear some of the pieces. The experts give feedback on how the participants can tone down their look and show them which clothes and beauty looks would be more complimentary to their individual styles.
Next, they bring in members of the public to give their opinions on Abbey and Phoenix's looks. The public is known for being brutally honest, and they do not hold back as they critique the guests. This helps Abbey and Phoenix understand how their choices in clothing and makeup can be polarizing and more moderate. Ultimately, the feedback is consistent: they're just too over the top.
The experts then have the guests fill out an 'emotion box' in which they list all the emotions they want their outfits to communicate, as well as what they want to communicate about themselves. This helps the experts understand what Abbey and Phoenix like about their own style and how the changes they make will influence their daily life.
After the emotion box activity, the experts go through the guests' wardrobes to see what they can work with. They encourage Abbey and Phoenix to try new styles while keeping their essential elements. The guests find it tough to try the clothing they would not normally associate with, but the team's instructions make it simple. After the wardrobe review, the team confirms which pieces may ultimately remain and dismisses the rest, then offers their thoughts on what remains.
With the wardrobe polished, Abbey and Phoenix move into the hair and makeup phase. Daniel and Melissa respectively handle giving them makeovers. The experts share tips on how to perfect simple but attractive hairstyles and various other body-caring techniques. Karen, the fashion stylist, is next to offer different classy fashion looks that accentuate Abbey and Phoenix's fresh style.
The end of the show reveals Abbey and Phoenix's new look and what the experts changed about their style. The guests are enthusiastic about their new styles and feel they can now express themselves better while having a broader and more acceptable appeal. Their revised appearances demonstrated that it is feasible to be one's self while remaining confident and attractive. Ultimately, 100% Hotter season 1 episode 9 concludes with Abbey and Phoenix embracing their latest look and expressing gratitude towards the entire team's efforts and guidance.
