I literally woke up and was like… why do I feel weird? And then it hit me: I was Carter. Like, full life swap. So for 24 hours I had to do everything exactly how Carter Kench would—drive his Jeep (terrifying because… I don’t have a license), hit Starbucks, and try to survive his routine without accidentally ordering pistachio when you’re allergic to nuts. They even wrote “Porter” on the cup, and somehow we both answered to it, so that’s where we were mentally. Once we got back to his house, he immediately put me to work: cleaning his messy office and learning the names of his Squishmallows because I was getting quizzed later. While I’m “cleaning,” I’m also opening blind boxes, roasting Sunny Angels (sorry, I hate them… but also I love them?), and trying to talk like Carter by turning my brain off and just saying random things. Then I FaceTimed our friends as “Carter,” got absolutely clocked for the wig situation, and recreated his iconic “Simple dimple pop it squish” TikTok. The biggest takeaway: being Carter is exhausting in a totally different way, and yes—I’m still grateful to go back to my chaotic makeup-artist life.
