First, Barnes and Noble covered up Andrej Pejic’s topless Dossier cover. Then FHM Magazine ranked him one of the top 100 sexiest women, then proceeding to refer to him as a “thing” and other nauseating comments. With this new world of trans-modeling opening up and gaining attention, what’s going to happen to models like Pejic and rising transsexual supermodel, Lea T.?Lea T., who gained mass recognition after appearing on the Oprah show, just landed a major campaign deal with one of Brazil’s top swimwear companies, Blue Man. Terry Richardson was seen shooting Lea and a herd of beefy male models on a beach in Ipanema, marking Lea’s first big move from runway to campaing work. She’s already received recognition for her Vogue Paris editorials, the lip-lock cover of Love Magazine with Kate Moss, and her strut on the Givenchy runway; making her a leader in the world of trans-modeling. Will what’s become acceptable in the fashion world become acceptable in the bread and butter world of middle America? We’ll just have to wait and see.
