21-year-old broadcasting student by day, avid horror gamer by night. Tala Radwan (also known online as Rex) has ramped up millions of followers on TikTok, Twitch, and IG thanks to her plethora of technicolor wigs, Hello Kitty gaming setup, and unique cosplay outfits.
Get to know our favourite gamer gal, Tala Radwan, as we sat down with her to get you all the deets.
THE LAST THING I SPLURGED ON THAT WAS ACTUALLY WORTH IT?
“The hazel medium handbag in pink from Vivienne Westwood! It’s the perfect shade of pink and looks amazing with any outfit! Plus rhinestones make everything 10x better.”

THE BOOK I RECOMMEND TO ALL MY FRIENDS:
“‘I’m Glad My Mom Died‘ by Jennette McCurdy. It really hits you in the feels and reveals things we never really saw about our favorite child actors from various popular shows. But her personal story about her struggles with her mother and executives from nickelodeon makes you open your eyes and see how messed up everything really was behind closed doors.”

I’D FEEL TOTALLY LOST (LIKE, LITERALLY) IF I LEFT MY HOUSE WITHOUT…
“My iPhone! As a content creator and gamer my phone stores a ton of my important videos and documents! It has so many of my memories stored in there that I would like to look back to as well as my friends and family’s information just in case anything happens.”

THIS ALBUM IS HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE RIGHT NOW
“‘Moodswings In To Order‘ by DPR IAN! This album is a masterpiece and is basically a part two to his previous album: ‘Moodswings in This Order!‘ He tells the story of a man named Mito who is basically his alter ego and through each song shows us part of his psyche. It’s super interesting and definitely worth a listen!”
MY GO-TO GAMING FOOD IS…
“Strawberries and matcha milk tea with boba. Literally, the best duo to have while playing an intense match! Once I feel like I’m gaming too hard I take a small break and instantly relax after sipping a nice cold matcha milk tea and snacking on sweet strawberries!”

WHEN I’M GAMING I ALWAYS WEAR…
“Socks!! I know it’s kinda silly, huh? My feet tend to get cold super easily while gaming so having a nice pair of socks on really makes a difference!”Â
WHEN IT COMES TO WORKOUTS, I’M ALL ABOUT…
“Making a banger playlist to jam to. Music makes a huge difference when working out and having the right songs to keep you focused and motivated really helps!”Â
I START EVERY MORNING WITH THIS ONE PRODUCT
“Juicy Kitten purifying power-green serum by I dew care! This serum helps soothe and purify my complexion. As someone with oily skin, this is literally my holy grail.”

THIS HOME DECOR ITEM IS SIMPLY NONNEGOTIABLE
“My Neonfreek LED UwU Light. It’s so bright and really grabs people’s attention. It fits right in with my aesthetic and doesn’t take up too much space on my wall.”
THE GAME I COULD PLAY EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE IS…
“It would definitely be Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Ever since I was young I loved horror games and was inevitably shown the original Resident Evil series games. I’ve played every single one since I could remember but 7 has a special place in my heart as the best. The story and visuals are out of this world but also super creepy and spine-tingling.”
