They remind me of my friends and my fun life from the 90s. I need people like you and they to make me feel less alone. Art lives. It's not a brand. It is people like Raja.

    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 .

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

Like besides him, think Erykah Badu, Ceelo, Andre 3000 and the like. I'm so glad I came across this person's closet... I haven't heard of him before coming across this clip. But I am LOVING his style through and through because he showcases it well.

    Loving Raja since the early RDR days. I kept saying Raja's gonna win, so deservedly. I wish she had a website she posted to and had merch.

    Sutan Amrull, aka Raja, is such a creative force and inspiration. His drag persona is just one layer of the full package. His greatest super power is inventiveness and ingenuity. From someone who was also a loner as a child, Raja is a superhero and a spirit animal. I also appreciate that streak of spirituality and superstition he seems to be influenced by.

    Love love love you Raja!! I'm just a little older than you & we definitely come from the same subculture background & share very much the same aesthetic. I adore your creativity & drive & what it all means to you.
