question for yara sofia fans and spanish speakers

[anansie-s.livejournal.com]

Hey locas - most of you have probably already seen those spoiler videos for the final 5, which are no longer spoilers. I'd be so so very grateful if anyone here who understands Spanish is able to help out an ignorant English speaker (me) by summarizing...

what Yara Sofia was saying in these interviews.

When she and Alexis were speaking in Spanish to each other they both seemed so different, somehow. And she's much more assured and expressive when speaking Spanish in these interviews; I can imagine how crippling and frustrating it must have been for her to try to express herself in English during the whole competition.

PS: I don't understand a word she's saying, but isn't she so CUTE!

PPS: a Yara tumblr

ETA: Huffington Post interview with Yara

whats weird about the first video is that they took it down and reuploaded it
but i managed to save the original.. the only difference is that they cut out manila saying 'i won a whole bunch of free shit'

To know that you're competing and each time, each time you're closer to reach the finale, it's incredible, i think this is incredible
and just in the first week people are going to see you on tv in their home
just with one week
youre gonna be in the public spotlight, the whole world's gonna see you
the queens that have competed before go out to the airport and people stop them "look it's!"
and we're also inspiration for many
how with drag we can be sure with ourselves
thanks to the stage production.. that we have to to do the runway
that for years we have imitated models
i love female models
and my apprecation of the female figure.. [cuts to raja]

the worst moment is that you have to shave everyday
and i can't take my face anymore, it hurts, it's horrible, i don't wish it on anybody
and then you have to put on make up, you just don't want to put on base sometimes, but anyway, i'm here.. (representing Puerto Rico btw)

[Tell me something about RuPaul]
RuPaul is very dedicated in what he does and it's something that I admire

[xbenji65.livejournal.com]

The best moment I think is people's apprecation
what people give back to me is grand, for me it's priceless
even if they don't pay me, i'll be divine, IF I have people's support
I think we do it for the people, to entertain people, to have a good time
like for example while we're at a club, we all have to have a good time, with a drink, and one person that's making us laugh, being us...

[xbenji65.livejournal.com]

I think that at the beginning it's a little difficult,
because many times they (dad?) tell you they dont want you to do this
it's many times difficult especially from a latin country
that many times is very religious, for example Puerto Rico is very religious
So it's very difficult to come out of the closet as a Drag Queen
Probably difficult to come out as gay, but even harder as a Drag Queen
I don't want to be a woman, I just want to entertain, and because you have a good time, be able to do things that [and then it cuts to Raja]

That sounds tough ... it sounds like Yara's dad/family have given her zero moral support.

[xbenji65.livejournal.com]

Oh and if you love Yara, here's some things I've whipped up

Everyone always said how Carmen went on looks alone/having a great body, but I think Yara's body is better.

[as-----------is.livejournal.com]

I agree. Yara has a sick body!

[anansie-s.livejournal.com]

Carmen is stunning, but Yara's body is just ... awe-inspiring.

[as-----------is.livejournal.com]

It really is.

Yara for Miss Congeniality 2011.

[xbenji65.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure Raja is winning that, just for having more fans.

[anansie-s.livejournal.com]

Ugh. That would piss me off, even though I love Raja. And I saw on facebook that Manila too was trying to get people to vote for her on that poll, which I thought was so fame-whorey. I mean, she knows the outcome; surely being top 3 or 2 or 1 is enough for Manila.

[as-----------is.livejournal.com]

Manila's such an attention whore on FB... it's amazing!
