What is Androgyny?

What is Androgyny?

This term Androgynous has been around quiet awhile now. Most people when they hear Androgynous they think of Boy George and the 80’s or even hermaphrodites . Well both concept at one point in time were both considered correct. Androgyny can cover the hardest of the hard…or be based of the softest of the soft. But for me, Androgynous is ones ability to be asexual or genderless. To have the appeal of a man but still comprised with the softness of a woman or for the opposite sex to have the softness of a woman with a touch of masculinity.  When I model my goal is to create an natural balance masculinity, sensuality, spice and femininity. For me this works. It works for me because its natural and not forced. The most important advice I can give to anyone looking to model is stay true to you. You may have to change and adapt to the styles of new designers, shows, etc… but  the essence of you should always shine through…

NETWORKING!

NETWORKING:
As a semi-new model I am learning that constant Networking is a vital step in modeling or the entertainment industry period. The next hand you may randomly shake at an event could be the next person who see potential in you! As a result they may be that next big person to help nurture your passion in this industry. A lot of connections are made causally, you will never know the impact that you have on someone else, so always try to be at your best. You are your business so Represent at all times! With that being said!

I wanted to take a moment to shout out to VORY CLOTHING!...

The ANDRO Experience: My journey as an Androgynous Model..


The purpose of this corner is to shed lights on the side of me that models. I wanted to start noting my experience as an Androgynous model because I wanted those interested in taking this same route to fully see what this lifestyle evolves. Modeling for some may be a hobby or a point of interest, but for those who are Androgynous modeling must become a passion. It has to be something that you pursue with everything you have because more then likely you will be judge for everything you are.  At most auditions you will be the minority. You will have to not only appeal to the women but you will have to intrigue the men. Your confidence must be up to par and your appearance must always be tailored and well kept. Your walk: the most important component must be strong, confidence, well balanced, and at the same time natural. At the end of the day, stay true to the image that you wish to portray.

Here you will find helpful tips, casting calls, photos, and comments from other Andro models who are willing to comment on their experience as well.

Perfect Woman

I have an interesting topic that I would love some feedback on. I want you guys to write in and describe the “perfect woman”. Or a trait that this woman would have. The floor is now yours! Tell me about her smile, her walk, her style of dress! What is her personality like? Is she always submissive or does she take the lead at times? I want to hear all about the perfect woman in your head!. This is an open ended question ladies so I want to hear from all you femmes, studs, tombois, no labelers…everyone!
Because I appreciate you guys so much! I’ll start the conversation off my saying the perfect woman in my head always know how to make me smile and has the most sensual eyes.
What do you guys out there have to add to the list?
