Interesting. I have to say that as a woman, I wouldn’t say she looked masculine, though she does have strong lines in her face. Only in about half of her pictures as a man would I be fooled into thinking she is, maybe, an extremely pretty young man. She still has a woman’s face. ---

She still looks femme to me. OTOH, Andrej Pejic is a Serbian male who models feminine clothes on the runway. I think he’s fabulous and he doesnt make any pretense of it either. AFAIK he’s not gay, altho I dont really care/makes no diff. [http://www.stormmodels.com/AndrejPejic.html?boardId=1006](http://www.stormmodels.com/AndrejPejic.html?boardId=1006) ---

Only in about half of her pictures as a man would I be fooled into thinking she is, maybe, an extremely pretty young man. She still has a woman’s face. I agree, she looks entirely female despite her butching it up. It makes me wonder what the designers are aiming for in their runway exhibitions. Is men’s year to year fashion even a thing? ---

> [@Musicat](#): > > We are all androgynous now. Yep. Makes things easier. Well, for the most part. Andrej is a savvy guy. Models need a “niche” and there just werent a lot of male models wearing women’s clothes, so he crossed over. ---

There used to be a great Lesbian bar, Palms, in West Hollywood. Not sure if it still exists, but when we would get Lesbian visitors from Germany, we would take them there. There were actually quite a few physically fit, Lesbians on the thin side, with short hair - and they did indeed look like some of pretty boys in the Gay bars down the street. ---

See, I think the problem is that she doesn’t look quite androgynous enough. If she would actually try to look like a fem dude, it would work. But she’s trying to go too masculine. ---

I got the job binding her breasts for $100 a week. I know it’s not much … but it was all I could afford. 😃 ---
