Title: I made the cut
Post by: VannaSiamese on May 25, 2013, 05:42:39 PM
Somebody recently sent me an article from a large fashion website on the top 11 androgynous models in the world.  I went to read it and was very surprised and flatted to see I made the list.. especially when I saw who some of the other models were.  Anyway, it's a short read and a good introduction to some androgynous people

Wow, super congratulations are in order!!

CONGRATS!

:)

[ rant on]

Still congrats, but then I read this in the article...

QuoteI now have to worry that I'm sweating some smoking hot model chick that's actually a dude. It's more unnerving than... well, than anything, really.

*sigh*

If there's no chance of him "bagging" one of the women...does it really matter if any are male--or female?

[ /rant off]

...And now back to your regularly scheduled thread!

Haha I agree, I really think it reaches a point to where it doesn't matter.  If you find somebody attractive then they are attractive... they shouldn't suddenly become unattractive because of what's in their pants.

This doesn't surprise me Van/Vanna (which is best, BTW?). I've seen your images turn up at a number of andro pic blogs. You have a very distinct and dramatic look. Needless to say, I'm a fan. I hope there's a lot more modeling ahead for you.

Well that was a disgusting commentary from the articles writer.
Worried about being too 'ugly', I'm assuming he meant his looks.
What a remarkably ugly personality that comes through in that commentary.
Actually, ugly doesn't really begin to describe it.  :icon_censored:

In your field of modeling, your on anybody's list of the best.
That's pretty much a given that I don't think anyone here would argue with.

Way to go Van you are on a roll in the modeling world. Hopefully you have an agent? Things are looking bright on the road ahead of you!

You're right about the article's author, most would have missed that though, but he is indeed an ugly person.

Van is a magnificent and extremely arty model, I always find her photos stunning. I will celebrate that and not let the negativity of the article's author overshadow her achievement.

van was rated 7/10, i don't find that very negative. the author seems more freaked out than hostile, and who wouldn't be if they grew up in a society where what's between your leg determine how you should look for the rest of your life. there are also some rather monosexual people out there to whose libido what's between another person's legs actually matters, i'm not too surprised if they are scared by the thought that a person's looks might be different from what they've learned that genitals should decide.

the way the author wrote it, does one good thing though, it's enough to convince anyone that the models are credible in their androgynous look, and thus worth noticing.

or might be just me who's a little insensitive to offensive language. i usually don't take anything as an offense unless i know it was meant that way.

Nifty to be on it and ->-bleeped-<-ty what they said at the same time.

But if you're proud of it, then WOOT!!!
