Do It Like A Dude

Androgyny is a term—derived from the Greek words andros (meaning man) and gyné (meaning woman)—referring to the combination of masculine and feminine characteristics.


As most of you know androgyny has been back on the rise in the last few years. I love when a beautiful woman can wear mens attire, have that vague edge of masculinity and still look absolutely stunning just like...

When I was younger I got bullied a lot for being "butch" or that I looked like a boy or because of my deep-raspy voice... when you're 13 - nothing in the world could seem worse than wanting to be a pretty girl and being told you look and/or sound like a boy. Fortunately, as I got older and started modeling I really started to love and accept the fact that I have variety and a uniqueness to my look. Last week my good friend Soroush asked me to model for his styling final at Blanche MacDonald, the theme? Androgyny. He got the final proofs today and I love how much I look like a total bitchy, lesbian. So of course, I have to share a few of my favorites with you all.
