In-Trans Heart: Tribute to Octavia St.. Laurent part 1

[justwatchingliffe]

I dont know about perfection because even Octavia had bad pixs sorry. But she was one of the nice ones. I remember thinking how little confidence she had at the times. However, looking but she was brave enough. She was the beginning of what was referred to day time realness. I was a student of her understated presence. Be blessed I will remember you Ladawn Robbie and how you all made laugh. Be blessed. But still i have proof no all great pix lol see ya when i get there!

[BRAZILIANEROS]

She was perfection. I never saw a bad pic of her. She was unique and very intelligent.

[Imagime]

AAAAAHHHHH she was so strong fuck i wish I could have known her and I hope I get to know people like here in the future. That said, you two ladies need to hit me up. I need your help on the bangii project. call my cell 16266336917 keep it real and fucking do not stop posting. this shit is important

[treyprevitte]

[AuntyM66]

[Roody718]

U girls r ok!

[MistaYoshi007]

kelli harper was not a legend

[nochokin]

right......but she was a welll known pump lady on the community...so she desereve a lil recognition

[MistaYoshi007]

yes she was, but recognition for what? distributing illegal HOME DEPOT silicone? She died on the table in Mexico having yet another procedure done. All Im saying is Octavia StLaurent was a community activist and Ballroom ICON. Ms Kelly Harper, was a glorified drug dealer, no shade.

[nochokin]

just because you choose a lifestyle look down on by others, does thst mean you dont derserve any grace upon your death? i hope that not what your say...because every one fall short of perfection...even you.

[MistaYoshi007]

did you know Ms Kelly? I knew her for over 7 years myself and one thing she wasnt was graceful. When you live with GRACE you DIE with GRACE. Ms Harper didnt drink no T for a fever, she lived wrecklessly and died the same way, tragic but true. Im not praising or condemning what she did she helped many girls who didnt have a way to begin the transitions. However, today there are so many options for women without the use STREET PHARM girls like Ms Kelly. Healthy LEGAL options do exist

[nochokin]

well im friend with a close fiend of kelly's and she went down for a surgery liek many of us in transition willl do....expection everything to go find and unfortunately circumstance turn for the worst...it could happen to any one during a surgery...look at kanye west mom.....there is alway health risk in altering your natural body whether it be with surgery or hormones...so health is not really always in the forefront of transexual decisons. and definitely not what legal...lol

@MistaYoshi007

was Kelli Harper from Philadelphia? if so i remember her from the 80s. As years past I was surprise by her transformation. She was one of the first "real" looking transgendered women I seen during that time period but as yrs went past she over did the sillicone and other stuff.

[nochokin]

@76discodolly no one is asking your to critic kelly or octavia on the past or their choice....activism is defined as vigorous advocate of a cause...and she does that ...just because she doesnt fit YOUR definition of activism doesnt mean she was not one.....this video is not about somebod doin drug or too much sil ...this video is about giving honor to someone that has passed away.......so get off that negative bullshit....

[76discodolly]

@MistaYoshi007

Octavia had her battles with drugs and for awhile lived in transition housing becuase of her addiction to drugs.Being in Paris Is Burning allowed her the "fame" and noteriety she loonged for. But I would not say she was a community activist. her apperance in Paris Is Burning is remarkable and I will always remember her beauty and cleverness.

[AkuaRising]

She died of Brain Cancer. I miss her so much.

[princessadiamond]

it was complications from getting that silicon removed from here hips. I am being serious

[nochokin]

no.....im friend with a few of her closest friends...and that wasnt the case.....

[princessadiamond]

oh well I do apologize if that wasnt her cause of death. I do know a few months back she was getting the silicon removed.  R.I.P

[nochokin]

yes she will be missed

[princessadiamond]

yes! I loved her on Paris is burning!!!!

[mahoganyflame]

Thank you beautiful ladies for this tribute! Ill never forget laying eyes on this great beauty!! i could not stop staring at her, she remained gorgeous to the end. a tremendus loss for the GLBT and BALLROOM community. i am truly heart broken. RIP OCTAVIA ST LAURENT.

[brwneizs]

I just wanted to say a personal thank you for a great job in honoring one of our very own. A lot times the "girls" can be a little catty towards one another... so its nice to see that contrasted by your genuine eulogy.

[MonicaR62]

Octavia will be missed
