Lustsick Puppy AKA Tomasyn Hayes’s distorted freakish style has long been a favourite of ours. Now, the artist, model, and professional rager has released the first single from her upcoming debut EP Cosmic Brownie which is dropping this June.
“Goatmeal” sees Hayes and producer and co-star Machine Girl fast forward the years, transforming into old-age versions of themselves and then wreaking havoc over the course of one chaotic night of partying set to the frenzied electronic beats of the record. Goatmeal, the secret ingredient the two old partygoers and partners in crime add to their cookies (alongside a spot of blood) to keep them raving with youthful spunk, gives the song it’s name.
“I chose these characters because I wanted to represent the journey of loving loud music and that you can be untamed and free for as long as you see fit,” Hayes says of the decision to age up for the video. Alongside the music, she was also behind creating the make-up and prosthetics for the two characters, a process she says took two to three hours to complete.
“Colour-matching skin tone is the most fun and challenging part about working with prosthetics. I love capturing a sense of realism with my paint jobs,” she says. “For these looks specifically I wanted to make the skin texture and details look as close to real as possible.”
The make-up was instrumental in helping the two get into character and develop the roles of the OAPs as they venture out into the world, roller-skating, dancing with their walkers and stopping by McDonalds for some fries and ice cream. Hayes says it was a great experience. “We shot it close to Halloween so it wasn't too out of the ordinary for public eyes, but was still hilarious having interactions with the random people while in these looks.”
Watch the video below and look out for Cosmic Brownie which comes out June 1.
