What is however fascinating, is that after months and months of hearing about all the wonders that a Broadmeadows McDonalds can birth, we're still hearing about Andrej Pejic. New angles, new scandals, new ways to pretend that we're seeing sexual politics at play.

Let's not be fooled here.

Journalists and commentators are still waxing lyrical on Pejic's role in overhauling the face of fashion. Of charting new territory for androgynous models, of blazing a trail for a future of frocked-up men and a postmodern wonderland of gender fluidity and frivolity and fun.
