Is this a man or a woman? They have finely tailored eyebrows, long hair, full lips, and high cheekbones. All signs of a woman, right?
Nope. This is a photo of Andrej Pejic, a male model and rising star in the fashion industry. His androgynous features have made him the model du jour of numerous designers, but also garnered him some controversy. When Barnes & Noble received a copy of a magazine with him on the cover, they wrapped the lower half in opaque plastic before displaying on the rack. Apparently him wearing curlers, makeup, and no shirt can cause people to think he’s a naked young girl.
Double standard? Censoring? Intolerance? All of the above? Think it over.
