I just read that a trans-gender model is making headlines because she's becoming quite successful. She's even scheduled to be interviewed by Oprah for one of her last shows. I'm calling it right now, trans-gender models are the wave of the future. And if they aren't, they should be. The modeling industry plucks children (some as young as 14) from their homes and throws them into big cities with the hopes of making a mint off the child if she becomes successful. Chanel Iman is a good example of this plan working out in the agency's favor. She was 15 when she started, and became a sensation. Sadly, she's made up at endless events to look like a woman in her mid to late twenties. She struts around the red carpet soaking in the attention like only a teenage girl could and is exploited in ways I can't imagine. The fact that parents allow this and are essentially selling their daughters away is a whole other post.
Why does the industry do this? Because the industry wants girls who look like boys. The ideal aesthetic is no waist, no hips.
Enter a trans-gender model. No waist. No hips. Maybe a little extra in between the legs that could pose a problem modeling a bikini...but at least you can send people down the runway who are adults and have the cognitive ability to choose the career for themselves. Everybody wins.
