1
Every month we sit down with our favorite Parisian, shamelessly looking through the personal belongings of her bag.
2
But what happens before the camera starts rolling?
3
What's the article you're talking about?
4
I think it's called something like having a boyfriend is embarrassing.
5
Hair was such a naturally feminine part of me and now it's gone.
6
You sound like you've lived few lives.
7
I feel like I have.
8
Hello Parisian Vibe, I'm Grace Brosnan, I'm a young creative living in Paris.
9
I can try your sunglasses.
10
Yes, oh very chic.
11
Wow, love those.
12
Yeah.
13
Ah yeah, they're not bad actually.
14
Voilà, hello.
15
Hello.
16
Well without the sunglasses, no?
17
Welcome home, right?
18
Thank you.
19
Here's a coffee.
20
Well, it's not my home.
21
It's yours, right?
22
Mine.
23
Yes.
24
And I'm so happy to be here.
25
I end up drinking my coffee cold, but that's the worst.
26
It can be warm.
27
It's the worst when it was vomi and now it's not.
28
No. It just makes me sad.
29
I've run out of coffee at my apartment, so I have my hojicha.
30
Yes which is a little bit of a task to make
31
but it's okay because and you're drinking it in a very interesting yes
32
because i was like i can mom finish it later
33
if i feel but maybe i'll drink the whole thing
34
so this is a little coffee chat before we actually get
35
in rod everything into everything yes into the bag into the
36
bag into the apartment into the article hub stack yes which i'm
37
so excited about your arrival to paris there was drama there was a lot of drama there was
38
so much drama well okay
39
so for background i've been here for four years now this is my first year living alone
40
and this is my first year being in this apartment as well of course
41
which is beautiful and i'm so happy to be here
42
and i swear to god i manifested this i was like
43
i want one long studio i want a bed on the
44
floor i want a lot of light i want a lot of beans
45
and that is everything that this is
46
so even the romantic rain in paris rain and
47
when it rains the other night it was hailing and it was
48
so loud and I was just like I'm so safe I'm so happy
49
but it wasn't always this beautiful it was definitely really difficult
50
a lack of knowing my surroundings it was a new culture
51
it was new people I grew up in a really small town
52
and then I moved here knowing nobody barely speaking the language
53
not confident in what I wanted to do not confident in myself
54
so the first apartment that I mean you did enroll into the school yeah right and
55
that was great no the school was great no the school
56
is great I did end up switching my major I started in fashion design
57
and I started in a random apartment probably you know the size of half of this place
58
which is double 15 square meters yeah this place is tiny
59
so imagine like four girls in you were four girls
60
and 15 square meters 15 square meters mold so far out of the 17th i took argentine to tulari
61
chaque jour for l'école whoa i i couldn't i was nowhere you know and i i didn't know that
62
The first time I remember walking in the third was that year.
63
And I had no idea of like the geography of Paris.
64
So I had no idea where I was.
65
You know, one of my roommates was like, let's go to this bar.
66
And it was Le Progrès, which is so funny.
67
But I remember walking down the main street and just being like, what is this place?
68
Like, this is a wonderland.
69
Yeah.
70
Yeah, but I understood that it wasn't easy with the girls, right?
71
So it was random.
72
Yes, it was random.
73
And it was kind of okay the first year.
74
We had, you know, cleaners and stuff and everything.
75
But then I lived with them a second year and it was not the same.
76
That was definitely the hardest year for me because of that
77
and also because of being in fashion design and how hard I was working on something that I hated, frankly.
78
Ah, yeah, because you've changed after, yeah.
79
Yeah.
80
Why did you hate it so much?
81
I didn't like it.
82
That program took every ounce of love for creating away from me that I have for design in general.
83
Is it not supposed to make you more creative?
84
It's supposed to teach you the technicalities before you can get creative.
85
I had so much confidence issues of like, oh my God, if I'm leaving, then I've failed.
86
And then I am doing nothing and I can't finish anything.
87
And on top of that, you had your roommate situation in Paris.
88
Yes.
89
On top of that, I had my horrible roommate situation in Paris.
90
I just had no other time for anything else.
91
And that was the hardest part.
92
Then I would work super, super hard so I could maybe go visit my brother on the weekends or, you know, do something and get out of the cycle that I was in.
93
And they would sleep in my bed when I would be gone
94
and do many other things in my bed that I don't know if I can speak about on here.
95
Online.
96
But you can understand.
97
And it was just, I mean, utter disrespect.
98
And I don't ever have to go back there again.
99
So I won't.
100
What kept you going?
101
Because I mean, having that experience and like having all of those thoughts, that's tough.
102
And did you speak French by then?
103
No. No, I didn't speak French by then
104
because I wasn't speaking French with them and they were the only people that I had enough time to be around.
105
So I couldn't even, I didn't even have the time to make other French friends or practice if I wanted to.
106
Two and a half months of just like this hamster wheel of nightmares, if you will.
107
Nightmares.
108
A French nightmare.
109
A French nightmare.
110
You should have gotten a French lover to make it.
111
Oh, I wish.
112
I wish I did.
113
I was like, I have no time.
114
But then I switched into fashion business.
115
And I was still in that living situation for the rest of the year.
116
But I had enough time to get out of the house.
117
And that was like phenomenal.
118
That was the best thing that could have happened to me.
119
And then that semester, I made so many other friends and started to do other things.
120
From then on, it was just up.
121
changed to a different flat different roommate better better still still not there
122
whoops so where do you find all those people i don't know can we just be nice
123
can we just you know can we have like nice girls club well i actually it's funny
124
because in middle school my best friend and i started a club
125
that was called girls supporting girls
126
and it was teaching like younger girls how to not compete with each other and like lift each other up instead
127
side note but i have definitely realized that i need to live alone i'm
128
so particular about the way my things are positioned and the way
129
that my cupboard is laid out i have all my little things in my jars
130
and if i don't have that you go i'm gonna have an issue yeah i actually i had a
131
Danish boy staying with me.
132
Oh yes you had your date.
133
My friend, my date, my whatever.
134
Date?
135
What is it?
136
Because we did talk about the fact
137
that you know you were waiting for the boy that could kind of match your energy.
138
Yes.
139
I'm definitely in a space right now where I'm dating.
140
This guy who came to visit me was Danish, both 21.
141
He actually turned 22 when he was here.
142
We're enjoying each other's company and that's kind of it.
143
You sound like you've lived few lives.
144
I feel like I have.
145
I really feel like I have.
146
A lot of therapy, guys.
147
A lot of therapy.
148
Oh, yeah.
149
Okay.
150
And so did you kind of feel that you are on the same level with him?
151
I think it was really nice to be around somebody my age
152
because in the past I've my ego has always been like you are
153
so mature you should be with an older man
154
and then it's like okay there's a reason
155
that an older man is looking for a younger girl
156
and that's not a good reason and from my experience obviously it's different for everybody
157
but I definitely feel like living here and having the experience
158
that I did made me grow up so fast grow up so much more.
159
You know, I was 18 when I moved here and the most like insecure little thing, I cared so much about what people thought of me.
160
And that girl now it's like completely different, which is the most relieving, reassuring, fulfilling feeling.
161
Like it's the same feeling as like being in this apartment and like having all of these things be mine.
162
It's like, this is really like, I have made it and yeah it's just like the best thing ever yeah
163
because that's discovering that's what we're gonna write about right is discovering your style
164
and discovering and discovering what creativity is and yeah
165
and you are asking all of those questions quite early
166
because I mean it it can take a lifetime yeah
167
and you still don't yeah get there the phase where you tried out long hair Well, I actually had long hair my whole life.
168
And then I cut my hair super short.
169
And that was, and now it's growing back, of course, but it was like to here.
170
And that was such an interesting relationship with femininity.
171
As a woman, and the way women are depicted in, you know, Botticelli's Venus, she has this long hair, and all of these women have this beautiful long hair.
172
And it's such a symbol of beauty across so many cultures and so many time periods.
173
So when I cut my hair, I really struggled with that because it just,
174
I wanted, I didn't have a safety blanket.
175
You know, there was nothing that I could kind of like hide behind or do anything like that.
176
And two, it was like, my hair was such a naturally feminine part of me and now it's gone.
177
How do I find that without it?
178
And I didn't even realize it would go away when I cut my hair, but it definitely is.
179
Why did you cut the hair?
180
I cut my hair because there was just so much bad energy attached to the bottom and I could feel it.
181
Really?
182
And I actually cut my hair like a week before I moved out of that apartment, the first horrible apartment.
183
And then I cut it and it really did feel like a weight lifted.
184
But did you feel that you want to be more feminine in other ways or you just embrace the new you?
185
Yeah.
186
Which in your head meant like shorter hair, less feminine.
187
Yeah, I think my style definitely changed a little bit in relation to proportion,
188
but not necessarily in relation to the way that I would play between like masculinity and femininity.
189
because something that might look beautiful with long hair looks a little different with short hair.
190
Like it's everything fits like a puzzle piece, you know, so obviously that's a huge puzzle piece.
191
But I can't really remember wearing different things.
192
I don't really think I did or like trying to like overcompensate for like the femininity that I felt was lost.
193
I was putting my hair up all the time because I was just like, if it's up, you don't know if it's short or long.
194
And I just didn't like it.
195
So I kind of just ignored it and let it grow out.
196
I think femininity is so important to me.
197
Masculinity is just as important.
198
And for me, that comes from my parents and they are the living,
199
breathing beings of both of those words.
200
My mother is the epitome of femininity to me and my father's the epitome of masculinity to me.
201
And that translates so much into my creative identity.
202
I feel that my life has always been two extremes, You know, take my parents and then take the places that I live.
203
Montauk is a really small beach town.
204
Paris is a huge city across an ocean.
205
Everything that I do with my style and the way
206
that I write and the way
207
that I create is either speaking on those two extremes or trying to find a balance between both of them.
208
And I always try to find a balance between my mom
209
and my dad in my clothing and my style and the way that I wear things.
210
And it makes me feel incredible when like I have like my dad is this triumph motorcycle belt.
211
And I'm like wearing that with like my mom's like little white dress.
212
Like it's like the juxtaposition between this like masculine leather belt and like this little prairie dress.
213
I grew up doing ballet and I was like to think about things as like a dance.
214
It's this constant push and puller like it's two magnets.
215
Like I'm constantly refining my taste as is anyone.
216
I feel like the more I come to understand that relationship of masculinity and femininity and my mother and my father,
217
the closer I am to getting.
218
I guess the femininity of your mother is not necessarily the same.
219
It's not the same iteration of the femininity that you represent, I guess.
220
I don't know if you ever thought about it.
221
Yes, actually so much so because that woman has no agenda.
222
She has no bad bone in her body.
223
She is all giving and all loving and only seeing the good in people.
224
I feel like she's almost a younger soul than I am because sometimes she'll be like, oh, that's no friend of yours.
225
Like, what are you doing?
226
Like, wow, they want something out of you.
227
And she's like, what?
228
What do you mean?
229
Like, they're so nice to me.
230
I'm like, they want something from you.
231
That's why, you know, and that's the dad in me.
232
That's like my father in me.
233
Oh, wow.
234
Because he's so wise with that stuff.
235
Like he always can seek out, you know, and read people.
236
Big passion business student in you.
237
Super.
238
That's the logic in me.
239
No. Yeah.
240
Yeah.
241
Yeah.
242
Yeah.
243
Yeah.
244
Can I see it down? Of course.
245
What article you're talking about?
246
So it's called, I think it's called something like having a boyfriend is embarrassing.
247
And it was a Vogue article.
248
A long time ago or recently, three months ago?
249
Yeah, pretty recent.
250
And it was basically talking about how the standards of having a boyfriend
251
or having a man in your life as a woman has really changed
252
because we as women can work now and make so much more money, almost equivalent to men.
253
Probably not equivalent, but in some places.
254
In some ways.
255
It's getting better it's getting better and we can provide so much more for ourselves we don't have
256
we don't need the security of a man anymore and
257
so it's it's talking about that and it's really interesting to think
258
because we're also in such a gender war you know men
259
and women are having the least intimacy where like the intimacy
260
economy has crashed is what i was no one is having
261
sex anymore no one is having sex i mean the also
262
the alcohol economy has lost i think billions of dollars like
263
people aren't partying like they used to like it's really interesting
264
because from my perspective i don't want a boyfriend
265
because i love my space and i love who i am
266
and i want to keep exploring that and i love that i can provide for myself
267
but the only thing that I am missing is that wholehearted security
268
that my father gives me you know and it's not the financial security per se no it's definitely not financial it's
269
just that complete safeness which I've only felt with one of the boyfriends
270
that I've had in the past and I've never felt
271
that in any other way and it has been him
272
and my father and I think that's a really interesting relationship
273
because he provided that same kind of like decision security that my dad provided.
274
Yeah, but don't you think that, I mean, it's in a way it's all related, right?
275
Like when we have financial security, we also have the confidence with many other things.
276
Yeah.
277
But then also, aren't we, aren't we as women confusing sometimes?
278
That confidence with, I don't know how to express this,
279
but what I'm trying to say is having that confidence does not need to mean that we are less feminine.
280
Yeah.
281
Yeah.
282
And I feel like maybe we are confusing,
283
but what you're saying, I feel the only thing you're still missing is that confidence in men or security in men.
284
But for that, you also want to feel maybe somehow vulnerable as a woman.
285
I don't know if that's clear.
286
Yeah, like in the article, they were talking about how if a man is bringing the woman that he's with down in any way,
287
there is no reason for him anymore.
288
you know because women can give themselves all the things
289
that a man used to be able to give themselves
290
and I know for me like
291
if I'm gonna be with a man I want him to be able to provide anything
292
and everything so I can just turn into this flourishing creative orb fairy
293
and I'm already that on my own so why would I need
294
that and also female friendships my female friendships are the most fulfilling thing in my life
295
that when I am with a man I'm like the only thing
296
that you can give me that they can't is intimacy and
297
that is not something
298
that I need all the time right now why do you
299
think you don't need it all the time right now don't we need
300
that totally totally we 50 shades of gray yes and and I do love that but I think it's also like
301
I'm in such a place where I'm working so hard on myself
302
that I don't have the energy to put the amount of time
303
that that intimacy needs you know which is definitely a fault
304
and I need to find a balance in that
305
but I think I feel so incredibly fulfilled by myself
306
and my female friendships that I am so satisfied and so abundant in that space.
307
Well, you see, for me, it's, I mean, it's not easy at all because we're trying to, as women, we're trying to be fulfilled
308
and trying to understand how does this fulfillment looks like by doing
309
so many things and we're getting so tired because we have no help.
310
I mean, if you look back in the 18th century, you had all the help.
311
I mean, not everyone, but women had help and they devoted themselves to reading books and the art of leisure.
312
But now we're supposed to do all of that and be beautiful
313
and independent and confident in order to go back and to be vulnerable.
314
Do you see what I mean?
315
Yes.
316
And it's like, yeah, it should be kind of a fine balance of how much
317
do we need to do versus how much of femininity we still have in us.
318
Absolutely.
319
You know, absolutely.
320
And that for me ties back to that idea of how am I balancing the masculinity and femininity in my life?
321
How can I balance channeling my mother and my father?
322
How can I balance, you know, having intimate relationships and friendships?
323
And it's exhausting, honestly.
324
So that article of the boy, like coming back, just trying to connect this.
325
So the article with the boyfriend, the article was saying we don't need boyfriends anymore.
326
Or it's the crisis of...
327
It was, yeah, it was more so the crisis of, you know, where we're at with that and as women
328
and what we're able to do now as women and whether we need a man or not,
329
you know, it's, it was more so the question of where does that lie and where is the balance?
330
And if you have a boyfriend, is it embarrassing?
331
Cause I know, I mean, connecting it to some of my friends, I have a, one of my really close friends just broke up with her boyfriend
332
because he was bringing her down and why would she want to be in
333
that kind of relationship if all it does is bring negativity
334
and more pressure and guilt and less vulnerability
335
and more anxiety like there is no need for
336
that especially in your 20s when you're trying to figure things out
337
and trying to understand yourself it's where you are yeah
338
so having a boyfriend is embarrassing interesting i would say having
339
a boyfriend isn't embarrassing i would say it's definitely not embarrassing
340
and i would argue that if you have a boyfriend
341
that helps you become the most feminine version of yourself the
342
fees laundry yeah the best version then that's not embarrassing but if he brings you down in any way, then yes, that is embarrassing.
343
Wow, what a huge thought.
344
Huge thought.
345
Yeah.
346
Okay, let's go.
347
Oh my god, how embarrassing.
348
How embarrassing.
349
How embarrassing.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
