CBS2 got to meet Ross, the person behind the performer. He invited us to his home to show us how he gets ready and becomes Rosé."I've been dressing up as a girl since I was a little kid," Rosé said."My parents have always, luckily, been really supportive of that and encouraged me to chase my ridiculous dreams."
