Elle Puts Androgynous Model Andrej Pejic on Its Cover
EmailFor the first time, an androgynous model has landed on the cover of Serbian Elle.
(Elle)
Andrej Pejic is a 6-foot-one male model who models both men’s and women’s fashions. At New York Fashion Week in February 2011, he walked in five shows for men and four for women. The 21-year-old has become a muse for Jean Paul Gaultier, who has described Pejic’s look as “otherworldly beauty.”
Born in Bosnia shortly before the Bosnian War, Pejic immigrated to Australia with his family when he was 8. He was discovered in Melbourne, Australia, but told he would have difficulty finding work. After graduating from high school, Pejic moved to London and his career took off when he began posing as both male and female.

“I guess professionally I’ve left my gender open to artistic interpretation,” he told New York magazine in 2011.
Pejic, who’s modeled for French Vogue, shocked the world in May 2011 when he appeared shirtless on the cover of Dossier Journal. Barnes & Noble covered the magazine in stores because it was considered scandalous.
In the Elle shoot, Pejic models both male and female looks, dressed in head-to-toe Gaultier, according to the New York Daily News. Pejic is known for his long, platinum blonde locks but he trades them in on the cover for a black bob.
“I know people want me to sort of defend myself, to sit here and be like, ‘I’m a boy, but I wear makeup sometimes.’ But, you know, to me, it doesn’t really matter,” Pejic told New York Magazine. “I don’t really have that sort of strong gender identity — I identify as what I am.”

He’s simply marketing himself as “unique”.

This gender bending is brought to you by the same people who want a GLOBAL GOVERNMENT along with their handmaidens from Hades, our Mainstream Media.
This is brought to you by the same people who want to end the sovereignity of all nations, including the USA, hense BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES constantly championing ILLEGAL ALIENS and purusing the LATINO-HISPANIC Demographic who demands that USA
Borders remain Wide open, unprotected and USA Immigration Laws remain Unenforced and why USA POLITICIANS allow LA RAZA, MECHa and others to operate here and allow the teachings of RECONQUISTA-AZTLAN in our schools-colleges and why they ignore
the Biz-CORP world who employ ILLEGAL ALIENS.
This is brought to you by the same GLOBALISTS who bring us AGENDA 21-ICLEI-the CLUB of ROME with their key words of: Sustainability, Going Green, SMART GRIDS-METERS, Bullet Trains and want Cap N Trade-Carbon Footprint Taxes, Global Warming, Climate Change but NEVER ever mention a thing about WEATHER WARS ie CHEM TRAILS and H.A.A.R.P.
Oh, in San Jose, CA, the SHEEPLE (aka the HUNGER GAMES-AGENDA 21-ICLEI Plebes) will get an ORGANOGRAPH at Diridon Train Station to guilt-trip them, but at the SJ Airport, there will be an extension exclusively for the Private-Corporate plane passengers (undoubtedly CARL GUARDINO of the SILICON VALLEY LEADERSHIP GROUP who blessed us with the Bullet Train) will also convince the Plebes to pay for this Private-Corporate extension and of course, there will probably no ORGANOGRAPH placed there to make them feel guilty for their own contribution to Carbon Footprint taxes and Climate Change-Global Warming.
This is also brought to you by the GLOBALISTS destroying the economy of the USA through the FED RESERVE, BANKSTERS and “FREE” Trade.
The U.N. (GLOBAL GOVERNMENT) also wants to disarm the USA Citizenry AND you better become aware fo MANCHURIAN CANDIDATES and sleepers and that’s why we have all this Mass Murders right now along with their copy cats and the MEDIA PUPPETS won’t say a thing about this.
Finally, note who the TARGET AUDIENCE of this is and that would be white people.
I can bet my bottom dollar that this will never or rarely be seen in any HISPANIC-LATINO MEDIA and the reason would be: The GLOBALISTS want the White Population swamped and overpowered by massive foreign Immigration (legal and ILLEGAL) with the ILLEGALS in particular doing their utmost to have as many children as possible to get their RECONQUISTA-AZTLAN (the plan to reclaim the former Mexican Territory ranging from the state of CA to CO-TX) which is being piggybacked onto the NORTH AMERICAN UNION (NAU) and SECURITY and PROSPERITY PARTNERSHIP) plan to MERGE: Canada, the USA and Mexico together.
Again, beware of the Media who are handmaidens of the GLOBALISTS who should have been watchdogs instead of poodles and all I’ve said should have been COMMON KNOWLEDGE a long time ago. Great SHAME ON YOU, the USA MEDIA who have betrayed the USA and its Citizenry for your supposed rewards in the upcoming GLOBAL GOVERNMENT.

While I agree that he is very striking, I think his success has more to do with marketing than being some fascinating, otherworldy creature. However, it surprises me that it’s taken this long for a male to be used so openly as a women’s fashion model – designers create clothing for the body shape they find most desirable – flat chested with no curves.

Wake up. It’s not “interesting.” It’s more garbage the GLOBALIST MEDIA is trying to NORMALIZE for their GLOBALIST MASTERS who incidentally do NOT want the family structure of M-F and children. They want this for Population Reduction and a weak or nonexistent family unit will not be strong to oppose this GLOBALIST GOVERNMENT.
Hasn’t anybody noticed that the MEDIA has gone into overdrive to promote Homosexuality and Transgenderism? There is a reason for all this. This didn’t just come out of thin air.
Anyway, It would be well for whites to adopt the Latino Policy of: If you mess with one bean, you get the whole burrito or enchilada. Also, grow your families again. Don’t listen to the likes of PAUL ERLICH of 0-POPULATION doom and gloom.
If Overpopulation was such a problem, PAUL ERLICH and others would have actually worked on reducing the high Immigration Rates into the USA along with their high birth rates and the even higher birth rates of the ILLEGAL ALIENS having as many children as possible for their RECONQUISTA-AZTLAN agenda. They would have informed students in the 60s-70s about this, but no, PAUL ERLICH did not. Why is that?
The vast majority of Population growth in the USA cane from Kennedy’s Immigration and the Reconquista agenda. At the same time, speaking out of both sides of their mouths was PAUL ERLICH, academia and the Media sounding the alarm about Overpopulation to the General USA Population.. We even got propaganda movies like Soylent Green, Roller Ball and Logan’s Run along with a couple of Star Trek episodes.
So, where was PAUL ERLICH when it came to the high KENNEDY IMMIGRATION LEVELS with their birth rates and the ILLEGAL ALIENS having children on overdrive? What was PAUL ERLICH and his cohorts’ REAL AGENDA? Hmm?

Who cares. Men wear make-up on stage all the time, Pejic looks good either way. Marketing himself the way he wants.

It makes me feel a little strange to say this, but my first two girlfriends didn’t look anywhere near like this.

so a guy did not recieve the amount of testosterone required during gestation to masculinize his brain that would have given him the natural impulse to inject his dna in a woman to continue life in a traditional way.The way nature intended. He prefers girly stuff because like a woman they share the same NON masculinized brain. Hes not straight and likely the reciever.

Rex…dude….go have a glass of wine….actually SEVERAL glasses…and chill. Mankind has lasted thousands of years and your pathetic blabbering and frothing at the mouth isn’t going to do anything more than make more people laugh at you than already do.

I commend him for having the confidence to be himself in an industry and a society that are quick to judge if you do not fit into the ideals it’s believed you should.

Since he’s just as flat chested as the female models, he shouldn’t be able expose his bare chest. He looks like a female the way he wears makeup so it looks like a female model exposing herself.

He still looks like a guy to me

Chicks are into this kind of thing, but not too many dudes are.

Too many people concerned about sexuality. Get over it. Times are changing and they are changing for the good. People are now able to be free. If you don’t like it, look the other way, turn the t.v. station or don’t buy the magazine. Get over it!

He reminds me of David Bowie from the 80′s.

It might be the first time an androgynous man has been on the cover of Elle, but not the first androgynous model in general.
