I think it’s very interesting that Asian American women spend more money on beauty [than the rest of the U.S. population, according to. As little children, we’re obsessed with beauty. But what’s even more interesting, and a little bit twisted, about all of this is that more Asian women define their beauty by a Western standard. For example, when my niece came out of the womb, the first question [from the family] was, "Is she healthy? Does she have 10 toes and 10 fingers? Great.
We think that Amerasian women tend to be more beautiful because they look more Western. I’m the only one in my family who has a really tall nose bridge. My mom was a Tiger mom, but then she’d look at me and be like, "You hit the lottery; you’ve got a tall nose bridge." It was like her pride and joy. But I have a dumpling face. Another universal thing in Asian beauty is that everyone wants a smaller V-shape face. But I’ve embraced my plump, “dewy dumpling” face.
My parents are like old-school Vietnamese people. When they came to America, the ultimate thing that you could do in life, for my parents, was to become a doctor or lawyer or marry one. They never wanted me to have anything to do with artistry. I rebelled against them and moved to New York with $35 and a dream , and I learned the tough way. I started [doing makeup for dancers] at the strip club, and then I would do brides on the weekends.
