"I gotta see how beautiful I look in this" how adorable

[@michaelaberk9047]

There aren't many people in this world that are that positive and passionate about what they do. She is clearly an amazing human being. I love how she talks about clothes and fashion. She speaks unapologetically about her passions and clearly plans to do only what makes her life happy and complete.

[@chijaruable]

This needs to go viral...this woman just makes me love life...what a beautiful human being

[@VeraLucia-qs1jp]

Me dá vontade de aprender inglês, só para entender.

[@ThoughtRiot1776]

The only thing she deserves to go viral for is the SF Chronicles expose on her and how she stole hundreds of thousands from a charity meant to help the mentally disabled and treated the storefront as her personal wardrobe. Great at making connections in high society. A good person, less so.

[@Nesiantink]

"i've gotta see how beautiful i look in this, oh this is fabulous, love it." Instantly made me smile, this is gonna be me when i'm old

[@florence1395]

Latina Good for you! I’m 60 very very soon, I’m European & love fashion! The art of looking good in my opinion, is knowing what suits you.............Knowledge of knowing one’s self! The less is more is for me, no caked on makeup, but good skin, little makeup & naturally long tinges of grey hair! Leather biker jackets with denim or other clothing, accessories that’s the key! It’s wonderful to watch other women doing there thing, & reading you younger one’s so fashion forward 💜 enjoy your choices 💜

[@elonnabettini]

i met Joy four years ago and she honestly changed my life. she is the most positive and wonderful person i've ever encountered and i can only hope to have a spirit like hers one day.

[@justjaida7441]

She seems like an amazing person. Also, I really like her jacket.

[@Meelameels]

to be honest i got tears in my eyes because of her. she has SO much passion for what she does she wakes up everyday happy with what shes doing and at a time in my life where i have no idea where im going to go she really inspired me

[@GabrielleMarie]

Obsessed with these day in my life videos!!

[@Haamaj]

I just don't have words to express my mixed feelings... Really thank you for letting my heart listen and see such a great story

[@CalFM]

This woman seems smart, passionate and down-to-earth. Just the traits I appreciate a lot. And yay because I love styling too.

[@Housewarmin]

Her glasses remind me of Edna Mode from the incredibles.

[@saraisanchez1288]

I can't help but appreciate her strong faith and passion for what she truly loves to do.

[@butterflymagicwithhottea9291]

It's so gratifying to see intelligent people applying their skills to help others in need. Thank you, Joy.

“I had to live, I love it too much.” Is the best sentence I have ever heard.

[@muhlenstedt]

Great soul, so human and marvellous at sametime.A life in love and wisdom.I wish Joy many years of good health and the passion for life.

[@FairouzeFairytale]

What a lovely woman, thank you for sharing your story to inspire the world and little me. You are truly a joy to enjoy

[@arabbarbiedoll]

She has such a happy life story I really wish I could meet her

[@Thejessica-silva]

Wow, so inspiring! Hearing her talk about how she loves life so much when she was diagnosed made me realize how much time I spend complaining about insignificant things. Thank you for this beautiful reminder to love life and live with a joyful spirit 💗💗

[@lafeil]

She so right, we need put phones down and talk to each other.

[@ShaleeSheen]

She reminds me a lot of Iris Apfel..? :)

[@lauraweigl3000]

i thought the exact same thing!!

[@gracecai1]

SAME!

[@szorohov85]

omg i thought it was her. they lock exacly the same

[@Pdunzelman]

Same

[@keviny3590]

Joy’s name came up last weekend in San Francisco during dinner with dear friends. She talked about how she was done wrong during her final years. We were by her side until the end. We miss you, Joy. We will always remember your beautiful soul and giving spirit as shown by this video. I will always remember the woman behind the fashion... walking the hospital floor with you arm in arm... visiting you at home where you wore the same black sweats and furry hat.... far from glamourous. Thanks for allowing me into your life.

[@luxurylass]

i visualize her sitting in the front roll of a Chanel fashion show, holding a jumbo flap bag on her lap.. Class is timeless and ageless

[@MsYaYa37]

What an inspiration. An absolute JOY!

[@huub1989]

Faith and fashion......What a powerful combination!

[@lucijavidovic4991]

[@nicolequan2721]

She's adorable

[@yoitsily1154]

[@athenasgrovetrims9999]

There is no substitute for having art in one's life, whether that be painting, sculpting or fashion!

[@LenaKrones]

I love this woman, she seems so wise

[@dejahatchett2451]

Her name IS so fitting, what she said was so profoundly inspiring it brought me to tears!!!

[@joanannewallace]

What a wonderful person she is.

[@msaisharen455]

i love her spirit, filled with passion and excitement for life, and also helping others.

[@JR-fg5xu]

This resonates with me as I work in care homes but I am very passionate about fashion. She is such an inspiration.

[@pom3222]

Wow, I love her sense of style! Love the jacket, the earrings (oh the earrings!), the glasses and everything about her!

[@jh1303]

[@meganstamper7945]

What an amazing woman, she's inspirational

[@lisamarolivera7056]

I swear my grandma dresses like this why? because we are Puerto Ricans - Puerto Ricans like to dress very fancy with high end fashion and she wears makeup heels purses anything even bling I think it's super cute I dress like that to sometimes or I just get lazy and don't put anything

[@littlemizzging1269]

What a lovely beautiful message as well as story

[@sophiamartin769]

[@corneliabijl4931]

I want to meet this lady so much! Joy, I don't know if you'll even see this or not, but you are an absolute wonder and I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that one day I'll be like you.

[@cloudcity9672]

I smiled throughout the whole thing, great video!

[@tanyachapman4725]

Joy thanks for the inspiration. Things have energy and you are helping to pass these wonderful creations on to the next generation. Just looking at this video makes me very happy. I absolutely love beautiful things!

[@blissgirl9052]

Beautiful soul, beautiful work.

[@spacetimecontinuum]

Her style is fantastic!

[@markbettini4015]

Don't ANYBODY simply believe what you see. This is a perfect example of a 20-year scam gone awry. The investigative team of the SF Chronicle FINALLY looked into Joy Venturini Bianchi and Helpers and found the cancer she claims to have had had been growing for 2 decades inside her SHAM of a Charitable Non Profit. See @t and The Case Study used in an ethics class in graduate school derived from this crooked woman. @t

[@celtictiger9000]

I just love her!

[@isabelpaisey1093]

what a gorgeous lady. in every way. honestly heartwarming, thank you for touching my life and inspiring me to live and love so much more (and wear that crazy shirt I haven't been brave enough to wear yet)

[@markbettini4015]

Much of her collection is actually tasteful or wearable even in formal work situations, unlike other more diverse vintage collections.
