Images from Brazilian swim label Blue Man's latest campaign featuring transsexual model Lea T. have just been released on Made in Brazil blog.

What we like most about the ads, is that they embrace Lea T for what she is: A gorgeous, talented model. Blue Man neither draws attention, nor ignores Lea T's unique identity as a model–In other words, they don't make a gimmick of her sexual identity.
