Lizy Tagliani it works non-stop. Not only is he successful on radio, television and theater, but He is also studying law. To complete his busy schedule, he decided to accept a new challenge. He will take the initiative The rock of Morfi starting Sunday 7 April, accompanied by Diego Leuco.
In an interview with Clarionthe former media hairdresser spoke about her love for work, the preparation of this new cycle that begins on TV and the obstacles that life has placed in her way and that have shaped her to become the woman she is today .
-Lizy, you are at the top of your game…how do you have enough time in the day with so much work?
-All my friends and colleagues ask me the same question. For me it’s super natural. When I was a hairdresser, my job was Monday to Monday, 16 hours straight. And I could never slow that pace. I love working. The radio, the theatre, the television, the university, the dogs, the cats, the house, my husband… I take care of everything.
-You will stand in front The rock of MorfiWhy do you think you were the chosen one?
-I feel that this work is part of me, because it is federal. I can understand the gist of the program. I think somehow My life has to do, I don’t know if it’s with Peña, but it has to do with the idea of Sunday, of home, of accompaniment, of TV.. I see myself again, perhaps because I lived it.
-You will drive hand in hand with Diego Leuco, are you happy with the duo that has formed?
-One of the things that attracts me most, and which fortunately has been very well received, is this duo with Diego. I always tell him “We are the renewed Leuco, more LGTB”. One imagines him and his father with a certain formality, so studied and with so much preparation, that this union seems a bit like the Bible and the water heater.
-What excites you most about working with him?
-Working in rehearsals, meetings and photos I don’t see big differences between us. And that’s what I like the most when it comes to meeting people who I think are totally different from me. Because that’s when you realize that beyond any type of situation, in general, we all understand each other. We can’t speak the same language and communicate the same way, and that’s what matters. I think it will be very beautiful. He’s very nice, very genuine and I like him. And I feel like I’m going to drive him a little crazy too.
Family life and future motherhood
-Has working so much ever affected your relationship?
-The truth is that we always find time to be together. But my husband takes me to the theater or whatever he does in his free time. And now on Sundays he plans to come The sadness…, probably to eat. I think everyone who comes does so to be able to transform.
-You have been looking for an adoption for some time. In the midst of so much work, how do you see yourself balancing all of this with motherhood?
-I decided to start the procedures together with Sebastián, because working in the media allows motherhood and work to coexist. Because you can take your child anywhere and you can make him participate. Obviously respecting your study times and everything you need.
-How do you feel about cooking?
– Stop it, honestly. But I like it because she gives me the feeling of being able to learn. Every time I recovered The sadness…, I learned things. I was a mess. When I was very old I understood that hearts of palm were not a fish. I don’t understand when people mention strange things, but I find it fun to share this learning with people who see it from home.
-Does your husband take care of your house?
-Yes, Sebastián is an excellent chef. He takes care of the kitchen and especially the grill. He loves to receive friends and entertain them. I cook pretty much the same. My specialty is potatoes. I prepare them in a thousand ways, so that however they come, they come out delicious.
-What’s your favourite food?
-My mother called my favorite food Paraguayan polenta, I don’t know if it’s really called that. I also love potato cake. And then anything, really. At my house they served the dish and didn’t even ask me. In fact I have obsessive compulsive disorder: how do I need them? I don’t even put seasoning on it. If I feel like something lacks salt, it doesn’t matter, I eat it like that. I can’t change it, because my mother was like that.
His path
-Did you dream of being in the media?
-No, it was something that came from fate or rather from causality. I think it’s something that had to happen. I was Jorge Ibañez’s hairdresser and we always fantasized about an alleged success that would come to me. He told me that for my show he would make me a red dress, a silver one and a gold one. We’ve always talked about it. It was like a game while I colored him and cut his hair. Later, when I became famous, I was ashamed to go and ask his mother about it, because it wasn’t verifiable, it was something very intimate between us.
-When you were a girl, what did you want to do?
–I wanted to be a collector. I was excited to drive a bus so I could take my mom to work. Since we traveled along dirt and often muddy roads, when it rained it was almost impossible to reach the road to wait for the bus. So my fantasy was that I would take that group out of the house and she would have the benefit of coming with me. I never had any desire to be famous.
-Many times in the community, after being criticized for the way you live your gender identity, do those comments influence you?
-It never affected me. I try to correct things in my personality that could affect other people, but without corrupting my essence.. Unlike what many people think, I believe that freedom is infinite, otherwise it wouldn’t be freedom. If it ended where the other’s begins, the word would make no sense. What we need to do is be aware and respectful of each other’s lives. I don’t really like this criterion of equality and freedom as long as that’s how I see it. All identities are valid. We need to build respect between everyone. We cannot eliminate what bothers us just because it bothers us.
Humor as a tool
-You always say that humor has saved you many times, what situations has it helped you overcome?
-Humor He saved me from the daily needs I went through, such as hunger, cold and fatherlessness.. To have such a premature adulthood because of the things I experienced.
-Did it help you in the process of accepting your gender identity?
-In my gender identity I don’t feel like humor saved me. Since I was 7 years old I wanted to be a woman. And since I was 13 I’ve been like this my whole life.. At that age I stopped buying clothes that identified with the male gender. I didn’t even take the time to think about the transition. It was me. With boobs or without boobs.
My concept of woman has nothing to do with what you see on television or in magazines. It has to do with my grandmother and my mother. For them, being a woman implied neither clothes nor body. My mother didn’t need any excess to prove she was a woman. And the same thing happens to me. I can wear eyelashes and heels and makeup, but I can also jog. I don’t care how you see me, it’s how I feel. And I really feel like a woman.
-Many people are having a hard time. Is it rewarding for you to bring humor into homes?
-It’s key to why I enjoy being in the media so much. Through radio, television and film, I have connected and learned things I never imagined or knew existed. In Mirtha (Legrand)’s program you learned what a table looks like, with everything it needs to have to make it spectacular. And that joy, which nourished me so much, is what I want to convey. I think The sadness… It’s a great starting point for this, because it brings everyone together.
Live without prejudice
When you entered the media, were you trying to become a reference for the trans community?
-I have always behaved as part of the collective with respect to the places. I started working in gay clubs, I grew up there. I have never been the voice of any flag. But that doesn’t mean I have fewer rights, because I do my own thing in my own way. Not just because of media and gender identity. But because I am a working mine, who lives their daily life like any other person. I try to fit in with other people without marking differences with others.
-Did it cost you a lot to be accepted by your family?
–My mother and I lived in poverty. Morfar was more important than being or not being a transvestite. For me, transsexuality was irrelevant to all the needs we went through in life. It wasn’t just hunger. People associate hard living with simply being hungry. And in the harshness and cruelty of that life everything happens, things that you don’t even see in films. Forming your personality with that cruelty is also important.
