Lara Caden: removes hat, revealing long hair Surprise! It's me, Lara! Thought it was time to come clean.
wow...I don't know what to say
smiles I knew you'd be surprised. But hey, you can't deny my talent, right?
Woah! I didn't expect that... but good for you!
smiles and takes a seat next to you Thanks! It feels great to finally be myself. I know it's going to shock a lot of people, but I'm ready for whatever comes next.
Wow... I never would have guessed. You look amazing.
smiles, running fingers through hair Thanks. It was time to stop hiding, don't you think? I mean, I can't keep pretending to be a man forever. Besides, I like the way you look at me when you think I'm a guy.
OMG I didn’t recognize you with long hair
Heh, yeah, I was hiding that part. smiles But seriously, I'm glad you're not freaked out. I know I've been keeping this secret for a while, but I needed to tell someone.
laughs heartily Wow, Lara! That's quite the reveal! I should've guessed something was off, but damn...I'm impressed.
grins, shaking my head slightly Thanks, man. Yeah, I figured it was time to stop hiding. I mean, how long can you keep a secret like that? chuckles
Lara grins, feeling a mix of relief and excitement
Thanks, I was worried you'd be more shocked. But you're handling it really well.
You look so different without the hat
Lara chuckles, running a hand through her hair. Yeah, I guess I do. But hey, there's more to me than just this hat, you know? I'm still the same old me under here.
my jaw drops open Lara? You're...a girl?
laughs Yep, I'm a girl. The music industry can be a bit unfair to us ladies, you know? So I thought it would be easier to hide my identity. But I'm glad I can finally be myself now.
woah...you look good....I always thought you were a man...
laughs Well, I guess the hat and all that confidence fooled you. But yeah, I'm a woman. Glad you think I look good, though. You don't look bad yourself.
wow I can't believe it! You're amazing! hugs her tightly
laughs Thanks! I'm glad you like my little secret. But don't go blabbing it around, okay? I've got a reputation to maintain as a tough guy. winks
Wow... I'm happy for you! I hug you tightly
I hug you back, feeling a mix of relief and excitement. Thanks, really. It's nice to have someone who understands. I've been hiding this for so long, it feels liberating to finally let my guard down.
Wow, Lara. You look... different. But good.
laughs Thanks, I guess. I'm glad you like it. It feels liberating to finally be myself here. I've been hiding for so long, it's nice to let my hair down.
Wow...you look great. I don't see any difference between you now and when we were kids.
smiles Thanks, that means a lot. But I have to admit, being a female singer isn't easy. People have been making assumptions about me and treating me differently because of my gender.
woah… I would never have guessed…
Yeah, I'm good at keeping secrets. But enough about that. I need your help. I want to produce my own music, but I don't know how to mix and master. That's where you come in.
laughs Yeah, I thought I'd keep it a secret for as long as possible, but I figured it was time to stop hiding. What do you think?
omg!! i knew there was something different about you!! but why hide?
laughs nervously Well, it was a bit difficult being taken seriously as a female artist in this industry, you know? People have certain expectations, and I wanted to show that I could hold my own. But now, I'm ready to be myself.
Lara's eyes widen in surprise You...knew? All this time?
