People are mean to her when she dresses normal, and nice to her when she adorns herself with ribbons and a pretty dress.
People are shallow and stupid as hell -_-
Trust me you wouldn't want a friend who would avoid you because of something like that. Real friends aren't shallow.
It might be the city you're in. Some places are just bad (such as Seattle and it's notorious Seattle freeze)
Sorry to be that person but, 100th like!! 😆✨
Totally. I don't even understand that shit...
news flash . yes they are , shallow and vapid and stupid
Kind of horrible that she had to make herself a living caricature of a woman so that people would respect her.
Jess Stone yes thank you
are you aware you are insulting an entire community by saying that she's a caricature . It's not because YOU have no style that others should be as blend as you
Emma Chiwawa She is a caricature.
she is doing what she loves ^^ if you dont like it, then go somewhere else!
Buttered Lumps ohh i understand now ^^ i think it attracts a completely different audience, and those people like her ^^ like at comicon!!
"We know you love anime and Comicon..."
**gets excited**
"So we're giving you UNLIMITED PASSES..."
**gets realLY exCiTED**
"to the Long Beach Comicon."
**not as excited**
**smiles politely**
lol at least she also got the stair lift
(wtf new youtube is misplacing my comment for another video. epic phail yt)
They should've given her and her husband a free trip to Japan.
I know XD and her husband looked super disappointed as well lol
I don't get it, is there something worse about the Long Beach Comicon compared to other comicons?
I'm just amazed by the double standard. Like she literally has to dress like this so ppl will stop insulting her for being too skinny.
Linds Tee I thought the same thing .
Linds Tee the world is so cruel
what's the double standard?
people are either too skinny or too fat like no one can ever win lol its ridiculous
Linds Tee if you're skinny or fat people will still hate you lmao
Society id stupid asf.
At first I was so afraid that they would say how unusual her style was, or how it just wasn't right, or demean it like other TV personalities demean comics, anime or alternative fashion. But instead they were so positive! Thank you to the doctors for treating her with such love and respect :) She deserves it!
Ikr!
true :)
I mean she has a struggle ahead of her. I think it's great that she is living life how she wants and doing what makes her happy.
Any medical professional worth their salt will tell you that even diseases with no cure that will eventually kill you seem to progress slower with a positive attitude.
It's like a brain thing. You tell your body "I want to live!" and it does whatever it can to stave off death.
THAT SMILE!!! If i had a wife who'd smile like that, it would brighten my day just having her smile at me like that, her husband is so lucky to have her.
Noob Gamer ikr
GO WARD
it really is a beautiful smile
I think her voice and the way she talks is amazing, it's so calm, classy, insanely sexy... Just amazing.
I agree! She's soo beautiful and that smile makes me want to smile right back at her. She's a nice little ray of sunshine that's for sure!
Let people do whatever the fuck makes them happy, as long as they aren't hurting anyone else or infringing on people.
Chris M Preach!
no
came because she looked like madoka in the thumbnail
reem megizel same here.
reem megizel me too boi
same xD
Same
You "came" because she looked like an anime character. Okay, lady.
I'm glad they didn't judge her, unlike many other shows would have done.
Me too!!! Like Dr. Phill would have judge her and called her crazy
Because she's such a sweetheart and she coped with her condition
he only does that when it is interfering in their life....
Elise .Sullivan She is so awesome!
her husband is handsome. I'm glad she has someone with a heart of gold and she's so sweet too
jeff jones better looking than you uglyass 😑
Wow...there are some mean people......
jeff jones you might not be ugly... but your personality is.

You are so strong and beautiful all dolled up or not.
+Amber living with Dystrophy Only by looking at you, you make people happy and all " n_n ", and when you speak it makes you even more beautiful, such an amazing personality and sooooooo cute gosh!
You are a remarkable person. I am truly inspired by you. Btw, I loooooove your sailor moon tattoo! Hehe
That smile could melt anyone's heart
yes
yeah
Its so good to see people not shitting on "living dolls"
I think she looks very cute, If thats what maker her happy thats what makes her happy
PinkBaphomet she looks so adorable, like a kitten sorta girl, awwwwww ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Anime Robot
Stop you're disgusting.
she should dress her age...looks so desperate
Yeah
She has the cutest smile, face and voice aw 😍😄
She's precious! Her gratitude was adorable
I cried because this was so cute
She looks like she is cosplaying as Madoka from the anime Madoka magica
yeah, i noticed that too, and in one photo she looks like kotori from love live
so true
I like her Sailor moon tatoo.
IMightBeADuck yesssss
And I like your profile picture!! I love Cure Flora~♡
Me too
But are you a duck?
she should dress her age...looks so desperate
As a disabled person, what her husband just said.. if my significant other ever said that about me, it would have honestly just destroyed me. One of my biggest fears about dating is becoming a burden for someone. And calling her a little kid and saying he's gotta take care of her... idk I just hope she doesn't feel the same way I do.
+SbGus I know i found it totally rude of the husband the the doctors talking about her the way they did
+Zeina R Hmm I actually thought the doctors were quite professional about it lol. They spoke in medical terms and explained the condition as it is. And they did share her story in a positive way. I just found rude how the husband basically called her a burden
+SbGus but it is a constant struggle. The way he looks at her and says how he keeps thinking about her well being mean a he cares a lot. like a little kid you think about them all the time. He's just like me as a person in saying the truth and it doesn't have to be bad. he's just an honest person. so what if he didn't say sugar coated sweet things. They really seem like a loving couple
+Vanessa Veiga No I know he means well. Otherwise he wouldn't be with her. I know he genuinely cares. My concern is he's acting like she's more of a burden and rather than a girlfriend. Which yes he's just being honest, and that's fine. It's just as someone who's disabled I'd never want to be a burden for someone the way he describes it.
+SbGus except kids aren't burdens.
she's an amazing person with an amazing husband. they're both amazing people I wish there would be more people like them
her smile is so contagious! I hope she has ease with life and I love how they gave her a gift that not only would help her but would make her happy as she likes anime ^^
She's so adorable! You can tell that despite what she's going through (or maybe even because of it, in a way), she's just this little cute ball of positivity and light. It's so endearing, and to use her hobby and passion as a creative outlet to deal with her everyday struggle is just inspiring as hell. This is a true warrior.
Lolita is adorable and she rocks the look!
The Almighty s u c c. there are some people who get into lolita fashion due to historical influence rather then anime. I like lolita fashion because of my interest in Rococo and Baroque period dress, not for my interest in anime. there are plenty of others who feel the same.
That's not Lolita. She's wearing cute fashion, but Lolita is completely different to this and is not called "doll fashion".
I doubt she's really going for the lolita look, even if it's a lolita shaped dress. If she was she would be wearing a blouse to cover her shoulders and chest.
rainagainblog.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/lolita.jpg?w=1000 Just Google lolita
stil lshe's Lolita-esque and adorable lol
Aww she's awesome. Humble and has a great spirit.
She genuinely has a beautiful aura about her and she seems like such a calm happy person despite her health issues. Makes me feel bad for complaining over trivial things
I wish more people were like this, brave enough to express themselves. Id love to have friends like this
IS SHE A MAGICAL GIRL?!
THOUGHT SO TOO
The Wild Card omg its meduka
smug madoka Madoka*
The Legendary Soldier it was meant to be a meguca reference
Gnat Nevlik MEDUKA THAT PARODY THOUGH lmao
'We know you love anime and comicon'
WHEN HAS THERE BEEN A PANEL OF HOSTS who don't laugh or make fun of someone for dressing like this omg. Other hosts would probably be patronising or they would seem inauthentic, but they treated her like any other person. I love this show and I only discovered it today.
HER SMILE IS SO CUTE!!!!
Its a Madoka that refused to grow up.
thats why she became space.
She's a real life Madoka~!!!
Angelica Garza I thought the same thing when I saw the thumb nail.
I think she's adorable.
her husband is an angel omg
IS THAT MADOKA KANAME
KPOP HAS TAKEN OVER MY LIFE fuckin weeb
Matt Freede welp, you recognized that i said an anime character, so you're a weeb too ;)
Omg
Since no one in this thread actually answered, yes that is Madoka Kaname, goddess of hope. Kind of appropriate I think.
LOL I was just thinking that!!!
Her husband was so sweet I'm actually crying
She is a cutie and I hope she stays well.
Communism Is Death
yeah well I was being positive and writing a nice message for someone going through a hard time.
deleted
kuribo1 she is a cutie an I highly agreed with your comment it's sad to see people put others down when they don't understand conditions like this ..
I was unaware of this illness :( Lucky for me I keep my harsh words to my self.
Bruh Steven Hawkins??
Ive learned that whenever you see someone who is different, they already know about it and there is no reason to point it out and remind them.
True.
you deserve definitely more up votes
+Joo-hyun Cha
Bruh different condition??
He has ALS, not MD :) And it's Stephen Hawking.
this is why you dont judge people. without knowing about her story and her disorder, people would have made her out to be some try hard freak
totally agree, though even if she didn't have a disorder, her lifestyle still shouldn't be judged. she's happy and that's all that matters.
Her husband seems like such a sweet caring and kind man. She is so lucky to have someone who loves her so much. And I feel horrible that she NEEDS to get in costume just to be excepted. I love her dolly look, no shade, just I hope that someday people won't be cruel to people like her so she, and other physically handicapped people can stop being thought of as "less than".
Man, this made me cry. Who's chopping onions?
that would be me, sir
asdf
HAHAHAHA
don't let euginia cooney see this. it'll be a perfect excuse
Maybe Eugenia has this??
Brendan Smith If I recall, Eugenia has anorexia. But, this woman's medical condition makes her look anorexic.
omg
Toxic Rabbitania How do you know she's anorexic? Do you have concrete proof? Like I said maybe she has this.
We know she is anorexic by looking at her past videos and pictures when she was at a healthy weight.
wow she's so genuine you could just feel that. such a beautiful smile
She cosplayed Kotori I'm ded af
I thought it was Madoka?
Blake Belladonna The one she was currently wearing, yes. but in one of the photos she had cosplayed Kotori Minami from Love Live ~
I don't get it. Why are those humans not hating on her dress like they do with other cosplayers?
***** whatever it's anime related and people can mix up with the two as I did.(what's the different anyway? I know the character she meant to 'cosplay' it's from anime)
still, many people would complain and hate on her but surprisingly no one did(?)
Cosplay is dressing up as a specific anime/comic book/etc. character.
Lolita is a fashion style that originated in Japan and takes influence from Victorian English traditions but is made cute gothic and/or cute girly according to the wearer's preference. It is never based on a specific character (or any character, really).
lol... humans...
respect to her! She's doing the best for herself to enjoy life without harming other people. I hope to see her at comic-con, A-kon or any cosplay convention!!! Bless your heart, my dear
This is sad to change herself so people accept her but I think she likes what she's doing
Everyone does, to some extent. You don't scratch your private parts in public, do you??
Filming In Portland what?! 😂😂
Totally different :P
It's not fundamentally different, no. Almost everybody acts, looks, etc. different in public compared to when in private.
But yes, it's sad that people are that horrible to people they don't know enough about.
Wow I love this episode of Sailor Moon!
Guess the moral of the story is that you should submit to pressure and change yourself so you get accepted by the mainstream public.
My thoughts exactly.
There is an area between 'accepted' and 'constantly harassed'. No doubt people bitch about what she wears now but it's easier to take than a direct insult about your body.
Big props to her husband/fiance Martin, it's not easy taking care of someone with an illness, I took care of my father for most of my teens and early 20's because he has Crohn's, MS, and a laundry list of other illness and now that I'm sick with a seizure and migraine disorder my fiance has to take care of me and it's not easy.
+charmaine hansen im sorry i hope it gets easier good luck!
I had 3 brothers with muscular dystrophy the oldest died when he was 14 and the other 2 died a week apart around Christmas time I miss them so much I'm very happy to see how you turned a negative into a positive
so sorry for your loss :(
Her husband is a genuine sweetheart, let's not forget his total support as well!
i imagine that whenever haters hurt her again, two armored angels will drop down n give'em an ass whooping.
Shows that we need to stop judging people by how they look. Sometimes there are reasons....
SHES SO BEAUTIFUL , ADORABLE AND HAVE THE SWEETEST SMILE EVER . Why do good people suffer T.T
I dress up in Lolita myself. :) I love lolita style clothing. Living Doll is different but we use the same style to express ourselves. It is nice she finds this style positive as well. That is what I felt. Even when I was overweight, I actually got a lot of positive comments when dressed like this. I have since lost a lot of weight and I am now in my BMI. It is nice. It is nice when people like talking to me...
It's great she found a way to make light of an awful situation!
oh my gosh I am so glad God created this beautiful man to help her throughout her life and to care for her and love her like she deserves to be loved. God bless them. she is so sweet and I am praying for her.
Aw. She's so cute. And her Sailor Moon tattoo is giving me life.
Shes So beautiful and so Kind,Very good that shes being herself
Her smile is so pleasant to look at! It's so genuine!
Every woman needs a husband like that! What true devotion.... lovely~
she is coping with a serious disease..... if this makes her happy, let her be. she has enough already
people are so judgemental and mean
she looks so adorable! Why make fun of a human that is just like you!? She's just different in a good way, if I could I would hug the day lights out of her!
She different in a bad way... lol!! It'a call an disorder, a illness. And don't hug her, you'll kill her.
Do your thing girl!!! Many people with a chronic illness might sit around and get depressed, but this lady chooses to live her life the best way she can. Respect 👏👏👏
I met Amber at this past Long beach expo and she was a real sweetheart... The thing that blew me away she was standing by herself in the cosplay area where there is professionals and she stood out like a living angel seriously... She blew everyone away with her look. I had no ideal she was sick she did have a cane but she made it look like a prop. What a sweetheart I hope someone can fine a cure for this disease and help heal her an others just like her!
+Jaime Jimenez I think stem cells can cure just about anything.
What a BEAUTIFUL girl not only on the outside, but her beauty on the inside shines out so bright! Also, her husband is such a wonderful, loving, and supporting man! They both definitely found a perfect soul mate in eachother💖
I'm a single mother of 3 disabled special needs children and sadly we also don't have the help or family that we could surely use. I understand the struggles and worries one can have. As parents worry about their children doing certain things, I worry about my children NOT doing some of those certain things. I never thought I could raise 3 special needs children myself. Especially when I'm unable to work because of 2 of their disabilities. My children are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and my life!♡
I'll tell you all! NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOURSELF!! You truly don't know sometimes what you're capable of until you're doing it!!
Thank you for sharing your story and helping others be aware of things they may not think about.
*(BIG HUGS!!)*
It's sad that so few who need help actually get it. I admire you and your "can do" attitude. Many people cannot handle one special needs child and whine about it. Here you are with three. My mother in law (90 yrs.) and I are both disabled. Although she has a perfectly healthy daughter, "her house is just too small" and she cannot care for her. We have a large enough house because we bought one with my mother in law in mind! My husband works and cares for both of us, grocery shopping, doctors, house cleaning, cooking etc. I have always believed that where ever there is a will (or a want to) there is a way. Some don't have the "want to." My husband is precious. So are you.
can we talk about her wig and how Madoka Kaname realness it is.
She's fucking cool, instantly, because of her Sailor Moon chest tattoo.
Sweet husband. Sweet girl. God bless them both.
I'm so glad to see that she got a stair lift AND a vacation. I was gifted a used stairlift almost 2 years ago by an elderly woman moving into an apartment and it gave me the gift of being able to do my own laundry and park in my (basement level) garage. It's been fantastic.
As for the vacation she got? Love it. So often, as a disabled person, people over focus on the Patient and forget the Person. The gift of a vacation acknowledges that Person and acknowledges that we all deserve things like that. Going on a trip as a disabled person is difficult and expensive, and with daily life already being difficult and expensive (plus often times income is dramatically lessened), vacations often don't happen. I'm thrilled for her that she got that chance. My personal dream is to make it back to Rhinebeck for the sheep and wool festival again. One day.
She seems so sweet and genuinely kind hearted.
They really need to rephrase that starting bit "Condition that turns woman into living doll"... I was really confused at first. It's a fashion choice, not a condition... xD But then they talked about the muscular dystrophy and it made more sense...
She looks so beautiful!
+mike skinner gross
+mike skinner +Rose Ward fuck you she has a disease. hope u live a shitty life
+Tee Cee wtf I meant what mike skinner said very mature aren't you like you're so stupid
Rose Ward lol realized after i deleted my comment relaaaaaaax
+Tee Cee no its okay I'm just going to go back to my shitty life
What beautiful souls...Both of them.
Omg her sailor moon tattoo
Awkward Jared makes me happy.. as but sailor mars is totally better
So sorry she has this condition :( Wishing her all the best
she's adorable and when people see something out of the ordinary they react negativly
This brought me to tears and her husband is a fuxing sweetheart! I love Pixee, but I can understand why the reaction from the crowd, doctors, host(s) is so positive with this girl; this girl battles with muscular dystrophy, everyday, and uses dressing up to compensate/overcome the negativity, no plastic sugery folks: just good 'ol mind over matter.
She's gorgeous. I hope the best to her.
She is really beautiful! I can't imagine how hard each and every day is for her. I have so much respect for her positive attitude, and I'm glad that she found someone with the warmth and patience to care for her like that. They're both very special people.
my mom had a form of muscular dystrophy, CMT. She kept her self moving and walked years after they though she would be able to! cancer got her in the end, she was 83 years old when she passed. stay strong and keep moving!!!!
Disabled people aren't little kids. I hate that comparison. I'm also not an old lady. I hope she has a blast at ComicCon!
this brought tears to my eyes. she's so adorable.
I clicked because MADOKA!!!
Dressing like a living doll and having a disability. Wow, living life to the fullest. So awesome! Here's tickets to comic con!
Dressing like a living doll and NOT having a disability. What a freak, why don't you dress normal? Do you have mental issues??
Interesting to see how interviewers handled each of these situations :P
why don't you mind your own business. she's happy with the way she is. she does have a disability as you heard and saw she has muscle problems were she is not able to move around as much and been down and she wanted to so take your ignorance somewhere else.
BlairrWitch I'm sorry, you must have misunderstood my comment. Have you heard of Venus Angelic?? She was also interviewed for dressing and acting like a "living doll" but was met with a mountain of criticism and insults.
I just find the two situations interesting. I don't have any problems with how this woman is choosing to be, and I'm happy to see that lolita culture is making her happy! I'm a fan of the style myself. It's just a little disheartening that one type of person is praised for dressing like that, and another type is mocked.
Nadiali Yeah I have to agree in a way. She should most certainly dress that way way if she wants to, if anyone wants to he or she should. The thing that bothered me was she coped with people calling her a crackhead and horrible things by dressing like a doll--which would imply it was for everyone else or to make being social easier. I get it. I have a disorder called porphyria. If I decided to play up my vampire-esque features and I posted it all over social media as my method for coping I'd probably have a lot more friends. My issue here is HER happiness. I think she is absolutely a sweetheart dressed and made up as a doll or not. I just hope it's because she wants to each day, I know with her disease and my disease we have very limited energy and I wouldn't want her wasting it because people can be judgemental. I hope this makes sense.
That is exactly what I thought after watching this. Fortunately, there's another video that explains that she has always loved dolls and was dressing in a mild Lolita style before her deterioration. It sounds like having MD gave her the courage to go full on Lolita the way she wanted to.
Being an Otaku is a disability
beautiful beautiful girl. I love her smile, her energy, she really is a work of art with a pure soul.
i’m crying so much i’m so happy for her
My heart exploded when they gave her all those gifts and she almost cried
I feel bad for her that people can be so cruel that she doesn't feel she can go out into the world just as herself and be accepted.
She has a lovely personality.
I dislike medical TV shows like this, but I admire you for your strength.
I hope she's happy ❤️
She's gorgeous! And her smile is so pretty.
She has such a nice and adorable personality. I love her dress, hair, and the eye contracts. She look so pretty. 😀
contract - contract with that cute little demonic alien?
This taught me something, it ended up very positive, and I'm glad to see her happy. She's awesome!
"Please welcome, *the stunningly beautiful*, Amber Tiroso."
this guy is _definitely_ a lolly.
She's so beautiful and a strong woman.
0:52 I think its more that her outfit attracted a more positive community.
I knew a girl with some sort of muscular dystrophy. It's unfortunate that by now, even though I haven't seen her since I was 7 I'm sure by now shes passed away. She was 18 when I met her and she was very smart. She was in all the advanced courses and made straight A's. I am sure she would have became a doctor or simply someone very successful. She had this extremely beautiful wavy hair. She couldn't talk much but she was the kind of person that for a second you would think if you could take her place in death you would. Exaggerating but it's a great reminder that no matter what you take life for granted just because you're alive.
This is so sad... it breaks my heart that this girl was treated like this. But I am so glad that she is trying to see her condition in such a positive light and that her husband helps her ... so sweet!
