  • “I like to be different, because I am different," states Stav B. The queer performance artist unapologetically declares, “There’s no formula to love, no formula to be a human being, no formula to be a worker, and there’s no formula to how to live.”

    “I used to think I was the strangest person in the world
    but then I thought, there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do
    I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too.
    well, I hope that if you are out there you read this and know that yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.” - Frida Kahlo

      That's so beautiful. It's like the notion, that no matter where you are, there is always someone thinking about you, and perhaps you have never even met, but a kind of human connectedness. I don't know, but I feel it's a nice thought. peace x

    I'm in tears. I don't think one of these interviews has ever so closely matched my own personality in a lot of ways - it was really interesting. So much honesty here, and deep self-knowledge. I hope she finds the right woman to break through the unapproachable force field. :)

      oo, Belgium - go! :)) Your country is nice, for me, big nature lover, I enjoy your landscape, don't even laugh - it's so cool, no extremes, mild, medium and beautiful! But sadly I got very little idea of people/Flams.

  • @valkyrienanjo5750

    She looked beautiful at first, and it was easier for myself to identify with her then because of her fashion sense, but when she took everything off it was such an eye opener as to how beautiful she was WITHOUT all those things... It was truly amazing to be able to see that transition.

  • @carrotdiamonds5962
    @carrotdiamonds5962 6 років тому +2

    Amazing, thanks so much. I was off-put just by the air of rigidity in one moment, then she turned on her heel and chose to be flexible. She is so deep and light and creative and herself. Stunning and beautiful.

  • @missusCIRQUE
    @missusCIRQUE 8 років тому +1

    I love that in each of these videos, there'd always be people who feel that finally, there's a figure out there in the world they can relate to. It's so important for people to know that they're not alone, never alone. But at the same time, I truly hope that it also reminds them that as much as this person resonates with you, there'd be others whose personalities bypass you completely. And that's alright too, because we're all different and difference, in WHATEVER form, shouldn't be seen as a negative thing. Love this series. :)

    WOWOWOW I am in love with this series and the people that have been on it.
    I too keep people at a distance until I deem them worthy of being part of my world. My world is sacred and gentle and loving and not everyone deserves to be a part of it. If I were to see Stav B I'd be so intrigued by here that I would want to know more of who she is.

I truly believe I will remember for the rest of my life and I can say without exaggeration that I feel so blessed so fortunate just so privileged that I have come across her. I think I'm a little bit in love haha I could listen to her only speak for ever like have a specific little time of the day where I listen to her tbh

  • @datcat1981
    @datcat1981 8 років тому

    I don't know why but I always think the question of 'how do you feel' at the very end throws the person off and produces no where near as great of an answer as the ones they gave to the previous questions. If it should conclude with a question I feel it should be the one before it because the answer to that is usually really beautiful & uplifting, such as here. She was wonderful

  • @kat.5927

    @barbaraangele8615 8 років тому

    I am looking for a YT series that is about fashion where two different women with different styles TRADE clothes. They send each other their clothes and the challenge is to try to take the clothes that are not your style and make it work for you. It was so well done. Does anyone know what I am talking about? I thought it was part of this channel but I can no longer find it. It was a few years ago the last time I saw it. Also interviews where people do not remove their clothes but just talk about their style. Anyone know about that one? They were so well done and thought sure they were all a part of this channel.
