People love the fact I’m real, but beauty is pain –Bobrisky
Cross dresser Idris Okuneye popularly known as Bobrisky has given the biggest hint yet that his mother’s way of applying make-up may have made him choose the path that he threads today.
The Snapchat celebrity and Nigerian male Barbie, who makes his living selling skin-whitening creams for as much as 100,000 naira ($317) while also chronicling online his life of luxury in Lagos, revealed that much in an interview with Vanguard.

While applying make-up during the interview, he said; “I’m doing a party look, a diva look,” he also revealed that he was 12 when he first experimented with makeup. “I liked my mom’s look,” he added with a smile.
As he finishes his makeup by gluing gold glitter on the inside corner of his eyes near the tear ducts, he retorted thus; “Beauty is pain,” wincing as he applies the chemical glue, “but this is the one that holds the glitter on the longest.” He added.
