Jeremy Dolce asked if
Jeremy, don't you worry about him. Oh, I know him. He's always tweeting me.
He is?
I love him. He's like one of my little favorite fans.
Jeremy, she knows you.
I love you. You're my favorite. I think he's in Michigan, too. He's from where I'm from.
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?
I'm good. How are you?
Looking great, by the way. Look at, look at this little number. Loving the two tone hair.
Thank you.
Is that an inspired look or is it just your thing?
I couldn't decide. I didn't know if I wanted my hair black or blonde.
It's great.
So I figured I'd just do the best of both worlds, so.
I know. This is what rock and roll looks like.
Yeah.
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?
Yeah.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Don't I love this girl? How did the music all start?
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.
Was that Porcelain and the Tramp? That was the one.
Yeah, they wanted me to do.
Laughing at them now, aren't you? Look at you.
That. And I was like. Once again, show them the ring. So, and then I ended up uh, meeting RedOne.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Porcelain Black G E R R, asked, will the upcoming album be published in your, especially in Germany?
Yeah, the record's going to be available worldwide. Yeah. Everywhere. You'll get it. Don't worry. Don't worry.
Jeremy Dolce asked if
Oh, I know him. He's always tweeting me.
He is?
I love him. He's like one of my little favorite fans.
Jeremy, she knows you.
I love you. You're my favorite. I think he's in Michigan, too. He's from where I'm from.
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.
Yeah. Exactly.
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.
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.
Yeah. Do it.
If they want to get intimate with me.
I'm loving it. This is great. I'm loving where this is going. Life size mannequins. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
