Andrej Pejic causes confusion at San Paulo Fashion week

The androgynous model causes confusion on the Brazilian runway, donning both menswear and womenswear in one show.

 

 
This year is definitely Andrej Pejic’s year. The androgynous male model has broken down barriers on the runway, on magazine covers and in print ads.

At the San Paulo Fashion Week, Pejic took two turns on the Lino Villaventura runway, one in menswear and one in womenswear.

The handsome blond beauty first walked the runway in a slouchy black suit, and then closed the show in a dramatic charcoal gown with ruffles.


Pejic was recently in the news after FHM named the male model its 98th sexist women in the world.

Pejic has had a constant battle with the media about his gender and modelling.


Last month he featured on the Dossier magazine cover taking his shirt off with curlers in his hair, reportedly censored by Borders and Barnes & Noble.

When Pejic was asked what he thought about the cover he said, “I think the question really isn't the gender of the person on the cover, it's whether it's porn or it's art.”

What are your thoughts on the androgynous model? Do you think gender-bending models are the way of the future?

Androgynous Model Andrej Pejic Censored In US Bookstores

A magazine cover featuring Australian model Andrej Pejic has been censored.

Barnes and Noble and Borders in the US have reportedly censored a magazine cover featuring an image of androgynous model Andrej Pejic topless because he "looks too female".

According to media reports, the bookstores have requested that the latest issue of Dossier magazine be wrapped in opaque paper in order not to "offend" customers.

Although Barnes and Noble and Borders have been quick to defend their decision, stating that Pejiclooked "too much like a woman", other media outlets are outraged over what they say is "blatant discrimination".

"Pejic is a man -and pictures of shirtless men, in Western culture, are not considered 'obscene,' said jezebel.com. "So why is Pejic's cover getting the same treatment as a porno mag?"


The creative director of Dossier, Skye Parrott, admitted he was surprised by the decision to censor the image of Pejic, saying, "it seems that it probably made people uncomfortable. But that's part of what's interesting about the cover, I think, is that it's playing with those ideas of gender roles. He's topless, you can see that he's a man, but if you look at his face, he looks like a woman and he's so beautiful..."

Although there's been no comment from Pejic yet, the Melbourne model said just last month that he was "enjoying the ride", which so far has seen him take to the catwalks of Paris and represent Australian department store Myer.

"Andrej represents the 'universal,'" Myer CEO Bernie Brookes explained at the time. "The way we tolerate and are patient with all kinds of differences now."

Natasha Yarovenko DT Magazine

I’m so happy to have Natasha Yarovenko DT Magazine. Luckily I went out today and went to News Agency and I found that magazine. It is a Spanish magazine and luckily I can understand what she was talking about but most of them I must Google for the translation.

Yesterday I just bought Room in Rome DVD through eBay and can’t wait to have it!!! Me gusta Natasha Yarovenko. ;p

Room in Rome

Last Tuesday after the final submission of my project, I went to JB Hi-Fi store at George Street and hoping that I can buy a Bewitched or Room in Rome DVD. How frustrating to know that Room in Rome out of stock and they only got it at Black Town and other place which was I don’t remember. Wow! I’m amazed because so many people like the movie. I think people like that movie because of the lesbian element and got two stunning actresses with great body.

Even at Video Ezy this movie is a hot item and it is hard to rent because each time I go the DVD is not available. Sigh...! 

Spanish Lecturer

Lately I always speak simple Spanish with my friend. This makes me remember my lovely Spanish lecturer Mr. Joel. He is such a good lecturer and I had so much fun learning Spanish from him. I tried to find him in Facebook but couldn’t find it. He will always be my favourite Spanish lecturer. Thank you Mr. Joel and hope someday I will be fluent in Spanish language. ;p
