In the modern world of fashion, new standards of beauty have appeared, and unusual models that change ideas about masculinity and femininity come onto the catwalk. In February of this year, Rhine Dove once again fell on the cover of a fashion publication, believing that there must be diversity in the fashion industry.
Sexless beauty
A gender-neutral model, refusing to belong to any gender, has a non-standard appearance, thanks to which she made a dizzying career. As the model admits, sharp facial features, high growth (188 centimeters), a sporty figure and a short haircut have always made her look like a representative of the opposite sex. Having learned to live in a woman’s body, she considers her face beautiful, only this beauty of a different kind.
Taunts and humiliation
Model Rhane Dove, who is not a transgender and did not perform any sex reassignment operations, was born 28 years ago on a farm in Vermont (USA). An awkward teenager often became the object of ridicule of peers who consider the girl to be very ugly and womanless. Her classmates called her Tranny Danny, which translates as "transukha", and the schoolgirl herself did not even understand the true meaning of these words.
“I probably looked like a man who survived the apocalypse, ” the supermodel is laughing now. Parents have never suppressed the identity of their child, who suffered bullying, unlike teachers and peers. The main refuge from humiliation is hard work, and only it matters to the girl.
Gender is not important
A modern star recalls that when she moonlighted as a firefighter, her colleagues mistook her for a guy. They did not even suspect what a beautiful female body was hiding under special equipment. The girl, using pseudonyms, tried herself in various male professions, going through the stage of self-rejection and adhering to the principle that gender is a non-existent category.
And the best thing a man can do is to love himself for who he is. "The pronoun for me is an empty phrase! Call me what you want. She, he or she does not matter. All I need is a positive attitude, " Rain Dove admits. She's not going to shackle herself in the shackles of one single way to address her.
First victory
Having matured, a girl, and indeed very similar to a guy, is casting catwalk models. And she is not even surprised at the proposal to come the next day, when there will be samples for men. Dove leaves his competitors far behind, not revealing his true gender. It is at this moment that she realizes her calling and decides to challenge the standards of femininity in the fashion industry. “The jury's eyes glanced around my neck, trying to find an Adam's apple, ” recalls the model who walked the catwalk, showing off Calvin Klein men's underpants.
Since then, shows have become the main activity for the Rhine. She advertises men's clothing, in which case she is asked to gain weight. And they make you lose weight when she presents women on the catwalk.
Career failures
However, Rain Dove experiences a fiasco in his legendary career. Once she was refused at one of the castings, explaining that her appearance is too specific. Allegedly, readers of magazines do not recognize her as a woman, and advertisers will be unhappy with such a strange choice. In response to the failure, the biggender model makes his own art project: she is photographed in sexy poses and glues Victoria’s Secret angel portraits on top of her face. She does not see anything shameful in filming for catalogs of underwear, because she has a beautiful large chest and long slim legs.
Models with a non-standard appearance are tired of waiting for her to be noticed and deemed worthy of filming. Not ashamed of her body, she wants the world of fashion to have as many real women as possible with different figures and types.
Bad luck did not affect the attitude towards yourself. Rhine Dove, whose biography consists of many victories in the modeling business, said that she was accepted and loved by other people, and she was not obliged to adapt to the standards accepted by society. The superstar is waiting for Victoria's Secret to invite her to participate in her campaigns and adopt her unique style, because she really can be harmonious in the image of a sexy lady.
Destroying stereotypes
The model makes the most of its profit from asexual beauty and calls itself "gender capitalist". She assures that she will even turn into an alien, if necessary. Accepting her unusualness allows her to live a full life. She breaks down gender stereotypes by fighting for diversity in the fashion industry. When she is mistaken for a man, the podium star does not take offense and does not prove that this is not so.
Now the androgynous model Rhine Dove, successfully performing in female and male guises, is full of hope that her career will help other people with characteristic features to express themselves. She wants to change the rules of the game and turn over the traditional idea of gloss. Famous fashion magazines are invited to participate in various projects on the catwalk star, starring in two roles at once. Her photographs undermine people's perceptions of gender, as well as the norms that are prescribed in accordance with this.
And what about the personal front?
The personal life of Rain Dove has always been of interest to journalists. And only in July of this year, the paparazzi found out with whom the podium star meets. The famous 44-year-old film actress Rose McGowan, who became famous after the mystical series "Enchanted", was caught kissing with some tall stranger. The media immediately found out the identity of the mysterious gentleman who turned out to be the American model.
The couple in love had a great time, not paying any attention to others. It is not known how long the two women have met and how serious their relationship is, but it is obvious that their relationship is more than friendly.
