Yeah, I'm Lauren Wasser, I'm a TSS survivor and I am the girl with the golden legs.

是的，我是勞倫-瓦瑟，我是TSS的倖存者，我是擁有黃金腿的女孩。

I always was following my mom around, you know, paris new york London living a life, two peas in a pod.

我總是跟著我媽媽到處跑，你知道，巴黎、紐約、倫敦過著一種生活，兩顆豌豆在一個豆莢裡。

I just was always in the business, I played basketball my whole life and I actually thought I wasn't gonna W N.

我只是一直在做這一行，我一生都在打籃球，實際上我以為我不會W N。

If you can believe that, it's kind of like my goal in life.

如果你能相信這一點，這有點像我的人生目標。

So a pair of heels or a pair of jordans, I was 24 years old for active, healthy period was really heavy, so I would use a super absorbent tampons.

是以，一雙高跟鞋或一雙喬丹鞋，我24歲的時候就很活躍，健康的月經真的很重，所以我會使用超強吸收力的棉條。

It was just a normal day in october and then I started feeling a little off, like something that just ran me over when they found me, I was face down on my bedroom floor, they rushed me to ST john's and they found the tampon they sent into the lab and as soon as it came back, came back as TSS one just toxic shock syndrome, they basically gave me a 1% chance of survival and told my mom to prepare my funeral.

那只是10月的一個普通日子，然後我開始覺得有點不對勁，就像有什麼東西把我撞倒了，當他們發現我時，我臉朝下躺在臥室的地板上，他們急忙把我送到聖約翰醫院，他們發現棉條被送進了實驗室，結果一出來，就發現是TSS一隻是中毒性休克綜合症，他們基本上給我1%的生存機會，讓我媽媽為我準備葬禮。

I was an automatically and just come up for a week and a half.

我是一個自動的，剛上來一個半星期。

I woke up and I just remember my feet being excruciating gain.

我醒來的時候，只記得我的腳被折磨得很難受。

Green was setting into my leg and they amputated my right leg below the knee.

綠色被鑲嵌在我的腿上，他們將我的右腿膝蓋以下部分截肢。

I eventually made the decision to amputate my second leg because the damage was just too severe.

我最終決定截去我的第二條腿，因為傷害實在太嚴重了。

That was the gold one that I made gold that I shared with the world.

那是我製作的黃金，我與世界分享的黃金。

I'm really excited about going to new york city fashion week with this new me with my new set of gold legs.

我真的很高興能帶著這個新的我和我的新的一雙金腿去參加紐約市時裝週。

The first woman, I walked with the brand crow matt and I was using a suction socket, which means it's just held on by the suction and liner.

第一個女人，我走的是品牌烏鴉床墊，我用的是吸盤，這意味著它只是通過吸力和襯墊來固定。

As I was walking, I could feel the legs slipping in my head.

當我在走的時候，我可以感覺到腿在我的腦海中滑落。

I was like, I can't have the gold leg falling on the runway.

我當時想，我不能讓金腿掉在跑道上。

But to have that little incident and kind of have to make it work.

但是發生了那件小事，有點不得不讓它發揮作用。

I think clothes tell a lot about a person.

我認為衣服能說明一個人的很多問題。

I think what you choose to put on in the morning affects your day.

我認為你在早上選擇穿什麼會影響你的一天。

I love mixing it up between secondhand and Pucci and divinci and kind of making a mix can't beat $5 glasses.

我喜歡把二手貨、Pucci和Divinci混在一起，做一種混合，不能打敗5美元的眼鏡。

I think that's the fun part about fashion is because everything can mix and match and you create your own piece.

我認為這就是時尚的樂趣所在，因為一切都可以混合和匹配，你可以創造自己的作品。

When this first happened, I was definitely my own prison.

這事剛發生時，我絕對是我自己的監獄。

I was wearing hoodies and sweatpants hiding the fact I didn't have a leg.

我穿著連帽衫和運動褲，掩蓋了我沒有腿的事實。

I look like I just went through some crazy stuff and I survived.

我看起來像剛經歷了一些瘋狂的事情，但我活了下來。

它講了很多，很多事情正在發生。

I'm meeting with the congresswoman and hopefully gonna be kicking some butt.

我正在與國會議員會面，希望能踢到一些屁股。

Usually when I go to castings I just put on like a little bit makeup, gotta have the lip gloss.

通常，當我去參加選拔賽時，我只是化了一點妝，要有脣彩。

Actually not even that blood class and a little mascara.

其實連那個血色的班級都沒有，還塗了一點睫毛膏。

I feel like I can take on the world in a business that is so perfect all the time.

我覺得我可以在一個一直如此完美的企業中向世界挑戰。

And beauty is only shown in one way to be able to throw myself in the mix and stir the pot a little bit.

而美只表現在一個方面，就是能夠把自己扔到混合中去，攪動一下鍋。

I saw it as an opportunity to highlight people in similar situations like myself who have never been publicized.

我認為這是一個機會，可以突出像我一樣處於類似情況的人，他們從來沒有被宣傳過。

Especially in the fashion world, shoulder right here.

特別是在時尚界，就在這裡肩負著。

The little girls that I've just met in the last 23 years that unfortunately been victims of TSS who have lost toes and are on dialysis.

在過去23年裡，我剛剛遇到的那些不幸成為TSS受害者的小女孩，她們失去了腳趾，正在接受透析治療。

Those are the girls that I live for toxic shock syndrome has been an epidemic for over 30 years before I was even born.

這些是我為之而活的女孩，在我出生前的30多年裡，中毒性休克綜合症已經成為一種流行病。

Once I found that out a fire just lit in my heart.

一旦我發現了這一點，我的心中就有一團火在燃燒。

I linked up with Congresswoman out of New York City.

Her name was Carolyn Maloney and she has been trying to pass a bill for almost a decade named after a woman who died of toxic shock syndrome in 1988.

她的名字叫卡羅琳-馬洛尼，近十年來，她一直試圖通過一項以1988年死於中毒性休克綜合症的婦女命名的法案。

And it's basically just for us as women to know what's going on are feminine hygiene products, what my bill does, it requires the National Institute of Health too.

基本上只是為了讓我們女性知道女性衛生產品的情況，我的法案所做的，也要求國家衛生研究所。

Keep data on how many people are stricken with it, how many people die with it.

保存有多少人患病，多少人死於這種疾病的數據。

And to do research on what is in tampons.

並對衛生棉條中的內容進行研究。

We have done more research on coffee filters and we've done on a tampon.

我們對咖啡濾紙做了更多的研究，也對衛生棉條做了研究。

We need to force government to collect the data.

我們需要迫使政府收集這些數據。

But of all the bills that I've worked on, it's been most difficult to pass bills that affect women who knows how many women have been affected and lost their lives and haven't been able to use their voice or speak about it.

但在我所做的所有法案中，通過影響婦女的法案是最困難的，誰知道有多少婦女受到影響，失去了生命，卻無法使用她們的聲音或談論它。

Well, we're gonna do this together, We're in for the long run.

好吧，我們要一起做這個，我們要長期堅持下去。

My favorite thing that's happened this whole trip really, to be honest, is meeting with the congresswoman because that was too long of a wait and we finally did it and it's so awesome and she's so awesome and I feel like that's really going to get the stink pumping and get some motion.

說實話，這一路上發生的我最喜歡的事情是與國會議員見面，因為那是一個太長的等待，我們終於做到了，它是如此令人敬畏，她是如此令人敬畏，我覺得這真的會讓人感到臭味相投，得到一些感動。

The biggest thing I've taken away from my whole experience on just the way this trip has been.

我從整個經歷中得到的最大收穫就是這次旅行的方式。

But I think just trusting the process, believing in yourself believing in your journey things that you maybe want to do or achieve.

但我認為只是相信這個過程，相信自己，相信你的旅程，相信你可能想要做的或實現的事情。

This Fashion week is super important because I'm finally just showing up, showing everyone that I'm here and I'm ready to go.

這個時裝週超級重要，因為我終於剛剛露面，向大家展示我在這裡，我已經準備好了。

I'm excited to just see me again and hopefully do some good.

我很高興能再次見到我，希望能做一些好事。
