Jeremy Dolce asked if

Porcelain Black

Jeremy, don't you worry about him. Oh, I know him. He's always tweeting me.

Young Hollywood

He is?

Porcelain Black

I love him. He's like one of my little favorite fans.

Young Hollywood

Jeremy, she knows you.

Porcelain Black

I love you. You're my favorite. I think he's in Michigan, too. He's from where I'm from.

Young Hollywood

If you're ready to rock and rage, raise your hands up. This is what rock and roll looks like. I'm Oliver Trevena here at the Young Hollywood Studio with Porcelain Black. How are you?

Porcelain Black

I'm good. How are you?

Young Hollywood

Looking great, by the way. Look at, look at this little number. Loving the two tone hair.

Porcelain Black

Thank you.

Young Hollywood

Is that an inspired look or is it just your thing?

Porcelain Black

I couldn't decide. I didn't know if I wanted my hair black or blonde.

Young Hollywood

It's great.

Porcelain Black

So I figured I'd just do the best of both worlds, so.

Young Hollywood

I know. This is what rock and roll looks like.

Porcelain Black

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

This is what rock and roll looks like. Mm-hm. Hey, hey, hey, if you're ready to rock and rage, raise your hands up. This is what rock and roll looks like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're in leather and lace. Raise your hands up. This is what rock and roll looks like. So this is what rock and roll looks like, your video shows quite sad. It shows you getting picked on, didn't it?

Porcelain Black

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Can't be having none of that. Can't be having none of that. What are you doing, weirdo? What's up with that hair, freak? Ew! Hey, leave her alone.

Porcelain Black

When my mom ended up moving to Rochester, I went from living in a not nice area that was kind of ghetto. And to, like a really nice area, when she remarried my stepdad in Rochester. All the kids were like snotty, wore a different outfit everyday. We're like with their Prada bags and just like, ew, like, you're so weird. Like, blah, blah, blah and I got picked on all the time and I was like, whatever. I'd rather be weird than like beige and boring and a carbon copy like you guys.

Young Hollywood

Hey, hey, hey, if you're ready to rock and rage, raise your hands up. This is what rock and roll looks like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're in leather and lace. Raise your hands up. This is what rock and roll looks like. Tell me about these tattoos. I can't help looking at them. How many have you got?

Porcelain Black

Uh, lots, I lost count. Only, only on my arms. I think a woman's body should be like, you know, bare and nice and sexy and I have exactly that view. You can stop with the bare. I just think a woman's body should be bare. I should have worn a thong. Damn. I don't know what I know.

Young Hollywood

Don't I love this girl? How did the music all start?

Porcelain Black

So I went to New York randomly, and then ended up meeting this manager. He's like, you got to move to LA. So I did that. And then I ended up getting signed.

Young Hollywood

Was that Porcelain and the Tramp? That was the one.

Porcelain Black

Yeah, they wanted me to do.

Young Hollywood

Laughing at them now, aren't you? Look at you.

Porcelain Black

That. And I was like. Once again, show them the ring. So, and then I ended up uh, meeting RedOne.

Young Hollywood

Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Enrique Iglesias. What do they all have in common? This guy right here, RedOne. You've heard Lady Gaga's song at the beginning when she goes, how does she say it at the beginning of her song? Oh, RedOne. You know, that's what she's talking about.

Porcelain Black

You know, and I worked with so many people and I had this vision. I wanted to do like, a Marilyn Manson meets Britney Spears, because I still wanted to do like really catchy pop fun dance songs but with a rock and roll, not like necessarily rock and roll edge, but an industrial edge.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're in leather and lace. Raise your hands up. This is what rock and roll looks like. We've got some Twitter questions, um, from fans. This is from Dead End Kid B. V. B. Kind of a sad name, Dead End Kid. What's that all about? Um, he asks, can you ask her if she's going to continue with Porcelain and the Tramp?

Porcelain Black

Probably eventually. But we got to see. I'm like, I don't know if I want to use those songs, reproduce them with Red, and put them on the next record or if I want to make it a side project. But that, I mean, either way, those songs are not dead. They're not over with.

Young Hollywood

Porcelain Black G E R R, asked, will the upcoming album be published in your, especially in Germany?

Porcelain Black

Yeah, the record's going to be available worldwide. Yeah. Everywhere. You'll get it. Don't worry. Don't worry.

Young Hollywood

I love him. He's like one of my little favorite fans.

Young Hollywood

Jeremy, she knows you.

Porcelain Black

I love you. You're my favorite. I think he's in Michigan, too. He's from where I'm from.

Young Hollywood

Boom. Look at her. He's like, I'm coming to Detroit. I'm like, I'm coming. I'll see you. Yeah. Young Hollywood, connecting people.

Porcelain Black

Yeah. Exactly.

Young Hollywood

I asked Porcelain if she is going to have merchandise for sale soon. He does like you. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Especially, especially life size dolls. He didn't really say that. I was just looking at your worried look.

Porcelain Black

Um, yeah, I, I mean, I'm thinking about, you know, making some blowup dolls and selling them to my fans. I'm not sure.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. Do it.

Porcelain Black

If they want to get intimate with me.

Young Hollywood

I'm loving it. This is great. I'm loving where this is going. Life size mannequins. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
