00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.111
- I was like, oh shoot, you
know I'm gonna do this video

00:00:02.111 --> 00:00:04.650
so I tried to do like some
eight-minute abs (laughs).

00:00:04.650 --> 00:00:07.130
And I did them again this morning.

00:00:07.130 --> 00:00:09.797
(drums playing)

00:00:11.513 --> 00:00:13.194
- I feel like I should've been working out

00:00:13.194 --> 00:00:15.034
for the past six months.

00:00:15.034 --> 00:00:16.297
- A lot of people see
me and they think that,

00:00:16.297 --> 00:00:17.449
oh, he's this thin guy,

00:00:17.449 --> 00:00:19.514
he's not secure with the way he looks,

00:00:19.514 --> 00:00:20.569
but I think everyone is insecure.

00:00:20.569 --> 00:00:24.441
- I struggle with a lot
of body confidence issues.

00:00:24.441 --> 00:00:26.601
- I'm not incredibly proud of my body.

00:00:26.601 --> 00:00:27.993
I think I have an okay body.

00:00:27.993 --> 00:00:29.770
- Going into this, I'm hoping to gain

00:00:29.770 --> 00:00:32.697
a new perspective on clothing and style.

00:00:32.697 --> 00:00:34.826
- I'm coming into this very, just like,

00:00:34.826 --> 00:00:37.273
more on the uncomfortable
end, and hoping that

00:00:37.273 --> 00:00:40.618
I break out of that shell
and just own this crop top.

00:00:40.618 --> 00:00:44.785
- I want to showcase my body
and not be ashamed of it.

00:00:47.721 --> 00:00:49.818
- Oh my God, this is
like wearing a toothpick.

00:00:49.818 --> 00:00:51.151
- Not mad at it.

00:00:52.650 --> 00:00:53.594
- Hey, Maggie.

00:00:53.594 --> 00:00:55.028
- Hey, what's up?

00:00:55.028 --> 00:00:56.068
- Oh my God.

00:00:56.068 --> 00:00:57.124
(laughs)

00:00:57.124 --> 00:00:58.516
- At the beginning of the day,

00:00:58.516 --> 00:01:01.204
I was so so uncomfortable.

00:01:01.204 --> 00:01:02.496
- The computer blocks our view.

00:01:02.496 --> 00:01:04.996
I wasn't prepared to see that.

00:01:05.906 --> 00:01:07.857
- I've just never seen you this way.

00:01:07.857 --> 00:01:10.785
- And your boxers above your
jeans is making me laugh

00:01:10.785 --> 00:01:12.881
cuz it's like the boy
version of a whale tail,

00:01:12.881 --> 00:01:14.811
when a girl has the thong sticking out.

00:01:14.811 --> 00:01:15.810
- When you walked up to me,

00:01:15.810 --> 00:01:17.231
I literally pulled this down cuz I thought

00:01:17.231 --> 00:01:19.871
you just had your shirt tied up.

00:01:19.871 --> 00:01:21.999
But you look great.

00:01:21.999 --> 00:01:23.775
- (chuckles) Oh, you did a crop top.

00:01:23.775 --> 00:01:25.215
- Wearing a crop top for a day

00:01:25.215 --> 00:01:26.847
was really uncomfortable for me.

00:01:26.847 --> 00:01:28.447
I feel self-conscious.

00:01:28.447 --> 00:01:29.488
- Same.

00:01:29.488 --> 00:01:31.023
Uggh!

00:01:31.023 --> 00:01:32.448
Lot of flexing.

00:01:32.448 --> 00:01:33.840
- We just got our lunch

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.879
and we were waiting for probably
a good five or ten minutes

00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.103
and it just really felt
awkward the whole time.

00:01:39.103 --> 00:01:40.047
- I'm an introvert.

00:01:40.047 --> 00:01:42.975
So I don't like being the person

00:01:42.975 --> 00:01:44.356
that everybody is staring at.

00:01:44.356 --> 00:01:45.189
- So apparantley I've been

00:01:45.189 --> 00:01:46.923
wearing crop tops wrong.

00:01:46.923 --> 00:01:49.675
I got advice from one
of the TopKnot girls.

00:01:49.675 --> 00:01:52.347
You're supposed to wear
high-waisted pants,

00:01:52.347 --> 00:01:55.691
or have something tied around you.

00:01:55.691 --> 00:01:56.804
- Alright, Crystal is teaching me

00:01:56.804 --> 00:01:57.713
the proper way to sit

00:01:57.713 --> 00:01:59.098
when you're wearing a crop top.

00:01:59.098 --> 00:02:01.050
- You gotta perch on the end.

00:02:01.050 --> 00:02:02.058
Put your feet out.

00:02:02.058 --> 00:02:03.178
Chest out.

00:02:03.178 --> 00:02:04.095
Belly flat.

00:02:05.930 --> 00:02:06.842
- So it's the middle of the day

00:02:06.842 --> 00:02:08.922
and I just went to The Canteen,

00:02:08.922 --> 00:02:10.810
and there were some co-workers there.

00:02:10.810 --> 00:02:13.146
None of them said anything,

00:02:13.146 --> 00:02:15.818
so I guess it might be more acceptable

00:02:15.818 --> 00:02:19.163
to wear this than I really think it is.

00:02:19.163 --> 00:02:20.490
- And then as you go throughout the day,

00:02:20.490 --> 00:02:23.514
it's kinda like, "Well,
whatever. Everybody's staring

00:02:23.514 --> 00:02:26.026
so might as well give 'em
something to look at, right?"

00:02:26.026 --> 00:02:28.109
(cheers)

00:02:29.338 --> 00:02:30.730
- So as the day is progressing,

00:02:30.730 --> 00:02:32.378
I'm getting much more confident .

00:02:32.378 --> 00:02:33.834
- A little happy trail going.

00:02:33.834 --> 00:02:34.714
It's nice.

00:02:34.714 --> 00:02:35.690
- A happy trail,

00:02:35.690 --> 00:02:36.523
nice chest hair.

00:02:36.523 --> 00:02:37.466
- We see it all.

00:02:37.466 --> 00:02:38.602
- Sex. Just a lot of sex.

00:02:38.602 --> 00:02:40.378
- This is like one of the hottest days

00:02:40.378 --> 00:02:41.610
we've had in a while.

00:02:41.610 --> 00:02:42.586
- Sexy.

00:02:42.586 --> 00:02:43.503
Ow Ow baby!

00:02:44.394 --> 00:02:45.817
Gimme a piece of that.

00:02:45.817 --> 00:02:46.650
(chuckles)

00:02:46.650 --> 00:02:47.498
- feeling less awkward.

00:02:47.498 --> 00:02:48.331
- Own it.

00:02:48.331 --> 00:02:49.962
Looks so good on you.

00:02:49.962 --> 00:02:52.330
- I love this little ab line right here.

00:02:52.330 --> 00:02:53.830
- Oh, thanks girl.

00:02:55.817 --> 00:02:56.650
- Wearing a crop top

00:02:56.650 --> 00:02:59.450
definitely made me more insecure

00:02:59.450 --> 00:03:00.746
about my own body.

00:03:00.746 --> 00:03:03.450
I think we all are our own worst critic.

00:03:03.450 --> 00:03:05.162
- I still got a lotta weird looks.

00:03:05.162 --> 00:03:08.714
Like, "Why is that guy's
belly all up everywhere?"

00:03:08.714 --> 00:03:09.898
- That being said,

00:03:09.898 --> 00:03:12.890
this article of clothing was
the most comfortable thing

00:03:12.890 --> 00:03:15.514
I've worn in a very long time.

00:03:15.514 --> 00:03:16.378
- By the end of the day,

00:03:16.378 --> 00:03:17.802
I had accepted myself

00:03:17.802 --> 00:03:20.346
and it didn't matter
what people were saying

00:03:20.346 --> 00:03:22.618
because I felt secure in my body.

00:03:22.618 --> 00:03:23.674
- [Voiceover] Down the line,

00:03:23.674 --> 00:03:25.690
I think I wouldn't mind
trying it out again.

00:03:25.690 --> 00:03:28.190
But probably not anytime soon.
