    First met Raja when I was 19/20? At hamburger Mary’s almost 2 decades ago and what drew me to her was her unconventional drag and the aura she had around her. Then to my surprise she was on Americas next top super model and then RuPaul’s drag show ❤

I was also that kid who liked to spend time alone and live in a world of pure imagination. And like Raja, it gives me power and confidence and definitely keeps me young to this day. Love ya Sutan!

    I think the gray hair looks really good slicked back and in contrast to his dark skin . I originally thought his recipe for anti aging would be something feel good like embracing art and authenticity so it was refreshing to hear that he wasn't opposed to a little Botox and filler as well .

I recently had a stressful/traumatic month and my white stripes went REALLY white and more of it and I was at my local chemist (don’t know where I’d be without everyone that works there, I’ve been going there every week for 20yrs) & one of the gang suddenly said OH! you’ve had foils done!? Looks amazing .. I laughed and said no just stress and age lol .. she didn’t believe me at first. I took my hair down and showed her and was like wow it looks so great .. hahaha😂 Lovely to hear from someone though. ☮️💞🙋‍♀️🇦🇺🏳️‍🌈

    I literally started my youtube channel so that I'd be motivated to complete the activities that I was too depressed to do. To cultivate the community I lacked in my life.
    I’ve had to overhaul how I approach work/habits by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 50-60% effort into my habits that give me stability (ex. journaling/working out) - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on my channel. I hope to find people to motivate me and I could motivate in return. It’s been really fulfilling so far.
    I succeeded in the corporate world/uni by not taking care of myself. I’d like any future sucess to come from taking care of myself and I would like the work I’m putting into myself will nurture the creative side of me I’ve repressed for so long. Loved the video

    Raja is top tier drag queen.. combination of funny, smart, classy and intellectual… all her references to drag fashions and stylings are always on another level
