Roberts applies his make-up in his "drag room" while Owen reads aloud from a book on make-up. While meticulously applying eye shadow, Roberts describes the ritual of transformation from man to woman as a process that has the potential to be very spiritual. “There is a moment when you have your base make-up on and you look in the mirror and you don’t even recognize yourself. That was the moment when I was able to look myself in the eyes and say ‘I love you.’”
