BORN THIS WAY

"No matter gay, straight, or bi,
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to survive" ...
Today Lady Gaga premiered her Music Video "Born this Way" and reminded me of this subject that is growing each day more and more - Androgyny - is a theme that is around since the 1920's but changing constantly. Now this them went to a deeper level, it's not only just an image acquired but now this is changing from within people. One very good example is Lea T., transgendered model, amazing story to be told and first one to be shot for Vogue France (Carine was always ahead).[Lady gaga music video at the bottom]








Is amazing where the world is taking us, I don't know if people noticed that fashion is more mature nowadays, big model are 30 years old or more. In Lea's case she is starting her career in her almost 30's. Fashion is not for 16's anymore.  JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT...

Other examples of amazing model that is now super Über because of his image is Andrej Pejic, he is taking boys and girls places in fashion editorials, check him out, look twice to be sure!

















And here are some other models that have the extra nice androgynous look and work great with the camera...


Bartek Borowiec





James Varley






Jethro Cave




Moral of the story: Embrace your differences....you may end up rich because of it!!


"No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to be brave"

ORIENT EXPRESS

Another part of the same issue is the Asian models, with striking looks they still struggle to appear in the catwalks and editorials. But in both cases(Black and Asians models) we are getting better and better and learning to spread our horizons and realize that these model can bring amazing looks to our image-based lives hehehe. Cheers for these model...

First of all I am very glad to see Liu Wen doing lots of shows and editorials, this girl is huge! Love her.




Another great model that is been around and a very good one is Juliana Imai, she looks a mixture of Asian and South American Indian (she is actually Brazilian), very nice look!
