I'm born with Ictiasis confetti
0:02
My skin is dry and grows too fast. People didn't want to be near me
0:08
They didn't want to be close. So I haven't really had the courage to date someone
0:15
Today I'm going on my first day ever. I think the most challenging about dating is maybe like touching
0:24
My skin is different and it scares me to be so like close to someone
0:30
I'm nervous. Do you think he will look past your skin condition? Growing up with ichthyosis, it has been difficult
0:39
My skin was worse when I was younger. It was drier and it was hard because every time I went outside the house
0:47
people stared at me or whispered bad things. I've never been on a date before
0:53
I think that I've been very insecure about my skin. I have to be confident because otherwise I don't really know but it has made me strong
1:04
I don't wish to be someone else So today I'm going for a blind date
1:10
My cousin is gonna help me with my makeup and hair So what are you gonna wear tonight
1:17
I think I gonna wear what I have on right now Do you think it good for a date Yeah I nervous My expectations for the date
1:29
For me it's very, very important that the person is funny and it's easy to talk to because I like to talk to people
1:38
I'm ready for the date. Good luck. I don't think I have a type of woman
1:46
The most important for me is the personality. If the personality is good, I'm falling in love
1:51
We see what happens. Hello. Hello. How are you? I'm good, and you
1:56

2:07

2:16
I love sushi. I always eat everything. Decide fish. You don't like fish
2:24
I hate fish. You like sushi, but you don't like fish. What is that? I hate fish
2:29
Like every kind of fish I hate. So can you tell me about your skin condition
2:36
Yeah. I'm born with Ichthyosis confetti. My skin is dry and it grows too fast I red obviously And I have to put cream on every day
2:52
What happens if you don't like it? I get really, really dry. You're really dry
2:56
Does it like itching and stuff? It's itchy and it gets pale
3:00
Or not pale, but you know. Yeah, you can peel off the skin and stuff. So what do you like to do
3:05
Do you have any hobbies? Parting. Parting. Everybody loves to party. Do you have any hobbies that you like
3:14
Beside my job, I'm a photographer and a videographer too. You're a model, so..
3:20
Yeah, it's fun. Nice, nice. I'm a model too. Oh, you are
3:24
Yeah, I've been modeling in Dubai. Oh, wow. I decided to post some pictures on a group on Facebook for models and photographers
3:34
And if anyone would be interested in taking pictures, that's a dream I've had for a long time
3:39
So we booked a photo shoot and then I posted them on my Instagram and I got really positive feedback
3:48
And that's how it started. I get more confident being in front of the camera and being out there because then it's because of my skin and I feel like I'm doing a positive thing
4:00
I think also that maybe I can help other people with their insecurities
4:06
I think it going good Yeah it really nice I don think he had a big deal with my skin condition The first impression was maybe ah it was my skin but now he talks to me and that we
4:20
have like a normal conversation and stuff. All right, you ready? All right, let's go. Very good
4:26
time, yeah? That was really nice. Yeah. You're easy to talk to. Yeah, same to you. Do you think
4:33
You're going to go out again? Maybe. Maybe. We can see. We follow each other on Instagram, so we'll probably
4:38
catch up there. It was fun. Nice to meet her. She's a beautiful person
4:43
I like that she loves to do the same thing as me, and I love her smile in her eyes
4:48
She's a person with just a different skin condition as me, and that doesn't matter with me
4:54
He's a good person, and he's funny to talk to, and easy
4:58
It feels like we have almost the same humor and stuff, so it feels nice
5:03
Has this dating experience taught you anything? It was really fun, and it felt easier than I thought
5:09
It has taught me that just do it. It's not as scary as I thought it would be
