She’s outspoken: Raffa’s Plastic Life (31). Referred to as a native of Graubünden, Raffaela Zollo has become one of the most successful influencers in Switzerland with her brash and often sarcastic remarks – she has almost a million followers on Tiktok alone.
But trans women can be serious too. Just moments after she made a joke about her curves while visiting SonntagsBlick, she spoke openly about her mental health issues. “I go to my therapist regularly. I have various childhood traumas to work on.” They resurfaced about two years ago, and Zollo fell into a big hole. But in the meantime, thanks to professional help, he learned again.
Raffaela Zollo loves smugness
A place that gives him plenty of rest and relaxation: his new home in Spreitbach AG. The influencer bought an apartment there a few months ago. “I like to brag,” the social media star admits. Whether it’s a large tub, walk-in closet or an XXL balcony in the middle of the bedroom, your apartment leaves nothing to be desired. Raffa’s Plastic Life can afford that luxury as it no longer relies solely on advertising revenue. She started her own makeup company five years ago and is now a regular MC for she. “My goal is to entertain people.”
But her heart also beats for fashion. Because wherever Zollo goes, all eyes are on him. Influencers love designer pieces and sometimes go deep in their pocket for them. The most expensive piece: the 17,000-franc Birkin bag. “I also insured the handbag,” she emphasizes. Still, this shouldn’t just collect dust. “I also use it to go shopping at Coop.”
Raffa’s Plastic Life takes time with love
The former jewelery salesman still enjoys his luxury by himself. “I would love to be in a relationship but stop pushing myself. The right guy comes when the right time comes,” she says. Even if singles line up on dating apps, it’s hard to find a lifelong partner in real life. “It’s intimidating to men. Besides, I’m a standout person and I’m trans.”
If you ask the 31-year-old boy about his future, he is talking about professional success, not family happiness. “I want to have my own talk show on TV in ten years,” says Raffa’s Plastic Life. Supervision assignments are still usually small. “I don’t know why the TV channels are scared. I don’t think they like the high ratings,” says Grisons of Poschiavo confidently. Zollo sure: “I would be an asset to Swiss television.” He brings a lot of compassion and empathy because of his past. “It’s not enough to be pretty for a great show.”
