Transsexual model Lea T. sat down with Oprah for her show on Thursday, and fashion's rising star talked about her childhood, her newfound fame and the struggles she's dealt with in between. Lea said she believes in gender identity disorder and dispelled any rumors that her father, Brazilian soccer player Toninho Cerezo had disowned her -- in fact, after seeing her walk in Alexandre Herchcovitch's Fall/Winter 2011/2012 show at Sao Paulo Fashion Week last month, her dad said, "Now I can die happy." Oprah also asked Lea how she hides her penis during photo shoots when she's scantily clad. Lea laughed and said that it's really uncomfortable. Duh, Oprah.
Transsexual model Lea T. has taken her first turn on the runway and surprise! It wasn't for Givenchy. She walked in a long, black dress with ornate sleeves for designer Alexandre Herchcovitch's Fall/Winter 2011/2012 show at Sao Paulo Fashion Week, in her native Brazil. Take a look at photographs from the show (even the AFP caught on, writing, "Despite the arrival of some of the biggest names in the fashion and entertainment world, all eyes at the Winter 2011 fashion week that kicks off here Friday are [on] a new runway star") and click through to the last slide to watch the entire show.
