Iifoto ngu-Matthew Leifheit
Abantwana be-90s khange benze kwaye akufuneki bajonge kude ukuba bafuna ukufunda ngamawele eSiamese, umbulo kunye nolutsha olungalawulekiyo. Iminyaka kaClinton yabona uluhlu lweentetho zemidlalo yeTV yamanqanaba ahlukeneyo okuhlonipheka- uJerry Springer, uOprah Winfrey, uRicki Lake, uJenny Jones, noMaury Povich- kwaye ukuba abazali bakho khange bakubeke esweni oko ukubukeleyo, ungachitha ixesha elininzi lokufunda iinyani zobomi ezingasokuze zifundiswe kwiklasi yakho yezempilo.
Njengamadoda amaninzi azayo, intetho yam endiyithandayo yokubamba iqela yayinguSally Jessy Raphael. Ukususela ngo-1983 ukuya ku-2002, inwele ebomvu ebanjwe ngumama USally , intetho edumileyo yasemini exoxwayo unyango lokuguqula ubungqingili , AmaYuda ngoYesu , Icawa kaSathana , iimvavanyo zokuba nguyise, kunye neminye imixholo eyahlukeneyo ebibonakala ijolise kubantu abaneminyaka eli-13 ubudala abanomdla wokufunda malunga nehlabathi elibanzi.
Ndiza kuphuthuma ekhaya ukuphuma kwesikolo ukuya kubamba uRaphael, onetalente yakhe ekhethekileyo kukuba akazange abonakale exhasa okanye egweba naziphi na iindwendwe zakhe. Xa yena funda iimvavanyo zikatata , ungamxelela ukuba akazange agwebe ii-mamas okanye iipapas ezinokubakho. Nokuba wayekhona ukuxoxa ngamadabi okuxhasa abantwana okanye indoda eyayingu ukubeka i-dick up butts yakhe ngemali , akazange abe ngathi uyamxhasa. Wayefana noJohn Waters ebongoza u-Divine ukuba atye inja, ukuba Amanzi yayingumakhulu oneenwele ezibomvu. Oku kumenze uRafael ukuba abe li icon kumadoda athandana namanye amadoda kuyo yonke iminyaka- nangona engazithandisisi ngqo abalandeli bakhe, uninzi lwethu luziva lusondele kakhulu kuye.
'Ubuyinxalenye ebalulekileyo yobuntwana bam, kwaye uluhlobo lokufundisa usapho lwam luphela ukuba ubungqingili bam buqhelekile. Ndikutyala ityala, 'fan enye yesini Ithunyelwe ekwindla lokugqibela.
Ke xa uPatrick Hartz, obengumphathi kunye nomvelisi kaRaphael phantse iminyaka emine, endimemela endlwini yakhe kwinyanga ephelileyo ukuze ndithethe naye ngobomi bakhe nangemisebenzi yakhe, andikwazi nokuzibamba. UHartz wayiqonda imincili yam, kuba yenye yeRaphael & apos; fanboys gay. Xa wayefunda kwiYunivesithi yaseKutztown ePennsylvania ngo-2000, wafumana amanqaku kwi-show yakhe, eyayisisiseko sephupha.
'Ndihlala ndifuna ukusebenza ngencoko kwaye bendixhomekeke ekusebenzeni komboniso wakhe kuba bendilikhoboka lawo kwaye ndikhule nawo-bendimthanda, utshilo.
Ngaphandle kweqela likaRafael kunye ne-apos; njengesiseko sabalandeli, kunqabile ukuba avele kumabonwakude ukusukela USally yaphela. Kulo nyaka uHartz kunye nenkampani yakhe yemveliso Iifilimu zeSpinboi -Iyeyakhe kunye neqabane lakhe uJason Fine-bazama ukuvusa i-79 yeminyaka kunye nomsebenzi we-apos; USally uJessy uyakhwela , I-webseries entsha evela kwinethiwekhi ye-gay yeLogo apho uSally ehamba ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo zothutho njengoko esenza udliwanondlebe neempawu zesini. Vula Isiqendu sokuqala , UPerez Hilton wafundisa uRafael indlela yokusebenzisa ipali yokuqhekeza kwibhasi yepati. 'Khawufane ucinge kukho & apos, umculo odlalayo,' utshilo uHilton ngaphambi kokuba akhulule ibhatyi yakhe emva koko aqale ukugoba ipali kwaye athabathe impundu yakhe ethangeni likaRaphael & apos. Emva koko, uRafael wabuza imibuzo enzulu kaHilton malunga nokuba waba njani ngu-blogger.
'Sithande ukuthetha noSally kakhulu !!!' UPerez Hilton wabhala malunga nokuhlangana kamva . 'Senze umthambo kwipali yokuqhekeza kwaye sade sabonisa imifanekiso yonyana wethu othandekayo, uPerez Jr. !!!'
Umbono womboniso awuzange usebenze kwisiqendu ngasinye. Xa uRafael wazama ukwenza udliwanondlebe I-GBF Inkwenkwezi uPaul Iacono ngenkunzi yoomatshini, wazabalaza ukunyuka kuyo kwaye ekugqibeleni wazinza kudliwanondlebe naye etafileni.
Ukuhlangana kwethu kwigumbi lakhe wayenxibe okomntu onxibe iimpahla — ihempe enxibe emnyama, isacholo somqala, kwaye (kunjalo) iiglasi zakhe ezibomvu ezibonakalayo - kodwa enesitayile sokuthetha ngokungagungqiyo somsebenzi wolwakhiwo okanye iphepha leendaba elidala.
Kwakungenangqondo, ke xa ndafumanisa ukuba ikhaya likaRafael & apos eManhattan & apos; e-Upper East Side ijongeka njenge-gayer kune URuPaul & apos; Tsala ugqatso Ukudibana kwakhona kubanjelwe kwiSiqithi seFire ngomhla wesine kaJulayi. URafael uhombisa indlu yakhe ngemifanekiso eqingqiweyo kunye nemizobo epeyintiweyo yosapho lwakhe, kwaye izibuko ziyamgubungela igumbi lokuhlambela elingaphantsi ukusuka kumgangatho ukuya eluphahleni. URaphael uxela ukuba izibuko zazinomnini wangaphambili, uJerry Herman, umqambi we Molo Dolly! kwaye Iifolokhwe zeCage Aux , kodwa uthatha ikhredithi kwiifayile kunye neencwadi kumgangatho wesibini, apho agcina khona uMark Twains wokuqala kunye nabantwana kunye neenoveli ezivela kwii-30s kunye nee-40s ezinezihloko ezinje Utata ogqibeleleyo. Iincwadi, uRaphael wandixelela, 'zimele ilizwe elingazange libekho-utata uye emsebenzini, umama wayenxibe ifaskoti, kwaye abantwana babegqibelele.'
Ukhulele kusapho olusebenzayo ePennsylvania, kodwa uRaphael ebesoloko edityaniswa ukubonisa ishishini-umama wakhe wenza njengomdanisi, kwaye utata wakhe wayesebenzela i-Orpheum Circuit, ikhonkco leethiyetha zevaudeville. URaphael ufumene umsebenzi wakhe wokuqala wokubonisa ishishini eneminyaka emithandathu xa wayenenkwenkwezi kumdlalo werediyo we-NBC Imibuzo yaBantwana .
Mhlawumbi ngenxa yezo ngcambu, uRafael akazange abone umboniso weshishini njengayo nayiphi na into ngaphandle komsebenzi njengaye nawuphi na omnye. 'Yinto esebenzayo,' utshilo. 'Yenza nantoni na oyithengayo-ayiyonto intle, kodwa leyo yindlela ekuyiyo.'
Waqala umsebenzi wakhe njenge ntatheli xa wayesebenzela inkonzo yocingo okanye iphephandaba yayisesengumntu osebenzayo. Waye kwisikolo i-Columbia School of Journalism, wafumana isidanga sobuntatheli kwiYunivesithi yasePuerto Rico, kwaye wagubungela uMbindi noMzantsi Merika kwi-Associated Press neReuters.
Ngexesha lama-60s kunye nama-70s, uRafael wagxotha umsebenzi wobuntatheli ukuya emsebenzini wobuntatheli, ethatha nantoni na ayifumanayo. Emva koqhawulo-mtshato nomyeni wakhe wokuqala, u-Andrew Vladimir, wafuduka ePuerto Rico waya eMiami kunye neqabane lakhe elitsha, uKarl Soderlund, iintombi zakhe ezimbini kunye nonyana owamkhulisayo. Ukusukela ngo-1969 ukuya ku-1974, wabamba umboniso kamabonakude wakusasa eMiami, kwaye yathi yakuphela loo gigi, wafudukela eNew York, apho wabamba khona inkqubo yengcebiso kanomathotholo. Intetho yentsomi uPhil Donahue weva uRafael emva koko wamnceda ukuba abonise eyakhe intetho. NgokukaHartz, bayifotela ingxelo yovavanyo USally -Igama lokuqala Umboniso we-Sally Jessy Raphael -E-Saint Louis, kwaye umboniso wawubetha ngokukhawuleza. Kwiminyaka eliqela elandelayo, uRafael wayehamba phakathi kweNew York ne-Saint Louis de umboniso wafudukela eNew Haven, eConnecticut, emva koko waya eNew York, apho wayeprinta khona le nkqubo kwiminyaka eli-12 edlulileyo.
URafael wayecinga ukuba umboniso uqhubeka nomsebenzi wakhe njengentatheli. Kwiminyaka eli-15, uRaphael wathetha neengcali malunga nezihloko ezinqabileyo ezigutyungelwa yimithombo yeendaba eziphambili kwii-80s kunye nee-90s ezinje ngomhlaza wamabele kunye nabantwana abanengxaki. 'Abantu banoluvo lokuhlala kwaye bafunda into, utshilo uRaphael. 'Yayiyiminyaka eli-15 yosasazo, kwaye loo nto ayibi mbi.'
Izinto zitshintshile ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1990, xa, uRaphael wathi, abavelisi bakhe bathathe isigqibo sokuleqa umlinganiso wentetho ye-trashier ibonisa Umboniso kaJerry Springer kwaye Maury , Ukunyanzela uRafael ukuba abambe iziqendu apho wathumela abantwana ukuba baqale inkampu kwaye waveza iziphumo zovavanyo lotata emoyeni. URafael wayezithiyile ezi ziqendu, nangona abalandeli bakhe besini athandana nanamhla.
'Bekungekho & apos akukho nto malunga novavanyo lobuzali okanye iinkampu zebhutsi ozithandayo?' Ndimbuzile. 'Ubewenza kakuhle lo msebenzi.'
'Ewe. Enkosi. Kulungile kuwe, hipster, utshilo, ehlekisa ngendlela umama axelela ngayo inkwenkwana eneminyaka eli-16 ubudala ukuba igubungele ibhulukhwe yayo emfutshane kwaye inyuse ibhulukhwe yayo. URafael wayeyithiyile into ayibonayo njengomboniso kunye ne-apos; yehla kwi-sleaze, kuba uyayicekisa xa abantu bexhamla kwiingxaki zabanye.
Kodwa nangona intetho ibonisa ngeli xesha lokurhweba ngobuqhetseba, bakwanika nelizwi kwabo bakumgangatho ophantsi ababengafane babonwe kwiTV. 'Kwimiboniso yeentetho, nokuba ziziphi na iingxaki zabo, iiprosesa ziyathetha,' kubhala umgxeki wezenkcubeko uEllen Willis Isizwe Ngo-1996. 'Ixesha eliseleyo baxelelwa ngeendlela eziliwaka ukuba bathule. Ngalo naluphi na uxanduva oluthembekileyo, sifuna ingxolo engaphezulu, hayi kancinci.
Ekubuyiseleni emva, uRaphael ucinga ukuba angayinqanda le nkqubo & ebizwa ngokuba yi-apos ukubizwa kokuhla ukuba utsale i-Oprah-ngokuqesha amagqwetha kwaye anyanzelise ukuba angumnikazi womboniso kwaye athathe inxaxheba yokuvelisa-xa umboniso & iiapos zonyuka. Kodwa, uRaphael wandixelela, indlela abasebenza ngayo iyamthintela ekuhambeni kwale bhola.
Ndisebenze ubomi bam bonke ukufumana umvuzo ngoLwesihlanu, utshilo uRaphael. 'Ndonwabe kakhulu ngokufumana umvuzo kwaye ndiyenza loo nto, kuba bendicinga ukuba abantu bazakuba noxanduva-kwaye kwafumaniseka ukuba abantu abakwi-NBC Universal abanoxanduva.'
Ngo-2003 bawurhoxisa umboniso ngenxa amanqaku asezantsi . Nangona umngcelele kaRafael & apos; we-teen sluts kunye nezinye izinto ezingalunganga zazikho ngeendlela ezininzi ezazisandulela iinkqubo zangoku ze-TV, u-Raphael ukholelwa ukuba ezo nkqubo zizinto ezingalunganga kumabonwakude namhlanje.
'Ukuba awuthethi ngabantu, abantu mabangatshintshi-ndingakunika u-Justin Bieber ukutyhubela iminyaka. Umabonwakude utshintshile, utshilo. Umabonwakude ucinga ukuba uza kulahlekelwa yimali yakhe, kwaye kufanelekile — uninzi lwayo. Baya kwezi ndlela zokuzonwabisa zinexabiso eliphantsi ezibizwa ngokuba yimiboniso yokwenyani, enenyani enyanisekileyo njengam neentshatsheli zehlabathi ezisindayo. '
URafael uchithe ixesha lakhe elininzi- USally nabantwana bakhe abadala ababini kunye nabazukulwana bakhe ababini abafikisayo. Uye waxakeka neCamp Sally, inkampu yehlobo yabantwana abasokolayo abaleka ekhayeni lakhe e-Upstate New York. Ekuqaleni, wayevumela abantwana abahlelelekileyo ukuba baye kule nkampu, kodwa ngoku uthatha abantwana abazizityebi abazifumeneyo, nabafumanisa ukuba badla ngokuxakaniseka kunontanga babo abahlwempuzekileyo.
Isizathu sokuba abantwana babe nelungelo elingaphezulu, amaxesha amaninzi, banelungelo lokufumana ilungelo kwaye baba ziincutshe, utshilo uRaphael. 'Ndingumluleki ongqongqo kakhulu ngoko ke ndiyaboyikisa ngosuku lokuqala. Uya kuthi, Abasayi kubuya . Kutheni le nto bengazukubuya? Banomntu onjengam ebaxelela ukuba mabenzeni-bayayithanda. Abantwana bayaluthanda uqeqesho! '
URafael ucinga ukuba umabonwakude ufuna uqeqesho kunye nesikhokelo ngokunjalo. Unqwenela urhulumente wase-US ukuba akopishe iFrance, apho uRaphael ahlala khona ngokungesosigxina, kunye ne-UK ngokuxhasa ubuntatheli kunye nokuzonwabisa endaweni yokuvumela intengiso ukuba ithathe isigqibo sokuba yeyiphi na ebonisa ukuba iyaphumelela kwaye iyasilela. URafael unqwenela ukuba kwahlukile, kwaye wandixelela ukuba uyayithanda iFrance ukuba inejelo lomculo weklasikhi.
Ngaba uyabona ukuzama ukuyithengisa eMelika? Ukwenza iividiyo zomculo zikaBeethoven & sesihlanu? ' Uye wandibuza. 'Kulungile & Apos apho [eFrance], kwaye iyaqhubeka, kwaye ndiqinisekile ukuba ulawulo lwenkcubeko luyayihlawulela loo nto.'
Ngaphandle kwezikhalazo zakhe nge-TV yaseMelika, uRaphael akazange abenikezele ngesixhobo esiphakathi. Ngapha koko, uchithe iminyaka elishumi edlulileyo esebenza nzima ukubuyela. Ndiqale ukusebenza xa ndandimalunga neminyaka emithandathu. Ndicinga ukuba iba sisiqhelo sokuba uhlale usiya emsebenzini yonke imihla, utshilo. Kuyamangalisa ukungasebenzi, kodwa uyaphoswa. Uphoswa luhambo lokuhlekisa okanye lokuthetha nabantu okanye lokunceda. '
Uphuhlise ubuncinci eminye imiboniso emibini ngaphandle USally uJessy uyakhwela . I-Raphael & apos; intandokazi ayiphumelelanga kumqhubi wenqwelomoya, ngo-2011 And & apos; m Sally I-parodied inyani ibonisa ukuba uRaphael uyayithiya. URaphael wothuswa ukuba akukho mntu uthabathe umboniso, kodwa kwiziklip ezimbalwa kwiYouTube & apos icacile ukuba kutheni iinethiwekhi zigqithile. Kwi 'USally Spoofs kunye neapos; IJersey Shore, & apos;' Uvela njengoSally J, umlingisi weSnookie onxibe iiglasi zelanga kunye nengubo emnyama eqinileyo, kwaye athi, 'Ndifuna ukusela, ndiye ndatsho kubhuti wam uKarl, endimbiza ngokuba nguK Wow, & ampos; lixesha ukuze sityunyuzwe kwaye sincancise ubuso ubusuku bonke! ' Umboniso unexabiso elithile lenkampu- ziintlobo ezihlekisayo zokubukela uRaphael ezama ukwenza-kodwa iziqhulo ziwela phantsi.
URaphael, nangona kunjalo, utyhola ukungaphumeleli kumqhubi wenqwelomoya kunye nokusilela kubudala. 'IMelika inengxaki yobudala, utshilo. 'Abantu abathandana nabathandana nabathandanayo abanayo i-apos, kodwa iMelika iyayenza.'
URafael wafumana umboniso wakhe wangoku enkosi kwi-fanbase yakhe yesini. Uhlala ebukela kwaye ephila ngeweets URuPaul & apos; Tsala ugqatso , emzise kwiLogo & ingqalelo. Iifilimu ze-Spinboi zibone ithuba apho kwaye zafaka ifayile USally uJessy uyakhwela kubo, utshilo uHartz. 'Bathumele ii-webisodes ezintlanu kwaye bagqiba ekubeni ba-odole ngaphezulu.'
Ngethuba lokuqala kwikhondo lakhe lomsebenzi, uRaphael uyazi ukuba uyathandana nabalandeli bakhe abathandanayo, nangona kusenokuvakala kungaqhelekanga kuye ukulandela inani labantu abanje. Indlela ushishino lokonwaba ebaphatha ngayo abathandana nabathandanayo njengecandelo elithile leemarike lihamba ngokuchasene noko uRaphael wayecinga ngako malunga nezitabane ukusukela oko wadibana nabazali bakhe & apos; abahlobo abalingqingili.
'Ndibona nje abantu,' utshilo. 'Khange ndiyicinge loo nto, kwaye andikenzi, ngaphandle kokuba kufike umntu athi, & ampos; Jongani, andinamposiso!' Esi simo sengqondo siyinxalenye yesizathu sokuba amadoda athandana naye amthande kakhulu-kodwa wandixelela ukuba isikhundla sakhe njengegorha kubantu abathandana besisini esinye sinokuvela ekuchongeni okunzulu.
' Bendilindele ukuba yintatheli ehloniphekileyo kwaye ndenze umboniso olungileyo, kwaye ndifumane imali kwaye ndingabi ludumo, kodwa ndibe yintatheli esebenzayo. Nokuba ngunomathotholo, uprinta, umabonwakude, ndifuna nje ukuba yintatheli, utshilo uRaphael. 'Kodwa mhlawumbi [amafanasini ayamene nam] ukuba ndiliqaqobana xa ndandisenza iinkqubo zam — ndandindim ndedwa umfazi emoyeni, kunomathotholo, kwisikhululo emva kwesikhululo. Oko kukhatywa. Elo xesha lokuba ne-apos; kunzima-izitabane zihlala zinobunzima. '
