Get to Know Rae
From Tiktok trends to her (non-existent) love life, the virtual influencer answers our burning questions.
Tell us one thing about you that nobody knows.
When doing my makeup, I like to pretend I'm giving a makeup tutorial. My only audience is my pet Tako, and he doesn't know what a lipstick is.
What's your guilty indulgence?
Playing puzzle app games. I know! I have all the pixels in the metaverse to play with, but I find ultimate joy in simply matching three of the same coloured jewels in a tile, over and over again.
What is your current favourite Tiktok trend?
Those hilarious videos where they put face filters on movies so the actors look like their eyes are bulging or they're constantly crying.
What type of content appears on your Tiktok For You page?
It's a lot of travel content nowadays. I think it's because I've been revenge travelling (even though I never had to go through lockdown).
What's a fashion trend you absolutely hate?
I don't hate, I appreciate! I think fashion is self-expression. So if you're having fun, it will always look great. Those cottagecore granny dresses or oval-lining your lips? Totally here for it.
Do you have a romantic partner?
The only one who could take up any room in my heart is my pet Tako. I designed him myself after an octopus sausage. He's an outgoing drama queen that's so cute you could just eat him up – literally!
I love making drawings of Tako. If only he could sit still long enough for me to finish them.
What’s your morning routine like?
As a virtual being, I literally wake up like this, with perfect hair and awesome clothes. So that always puts me in a good mood. I read the news like everyone else, but it only takes me a millisecond. Then, I get a kopi peng for a boost of sweetness. For breakfast, I try not to eat an octopus sausage because I know Tako gets an existential crisis every time I make it.
