Famous

Isn't is a dream of many? To be famous?

Nowadays it is a lot easier to get famous. Look at 9gag and all the meme's. Sure we make fun of it and laugh about these pictures but someones face is on it. Someone, often unwillingly, became an icon. In many cases completely unrelated to who they really are.

I am open about being transgender although not everyone knows it yet. Neither do I already feel the urge of putting it out there. But I notice I am more often being asked to model. To model as androgynous or unisex.

Who does not has the interest to be a model? But having when having gender dysphoria the camera is not your best friend. Any pictures also shows some of your masculinity and that is exactly what you do not want to see. So I keep saying no. I also have yet to start with hormones and I do not want my old pictures to confront me later on.

My work is to be creative and that is why I like to look at myself as a creative individual. Thus, my 'old' me wont be washed away. If anything I can already look forward to one day think of a campaign to trow transgenders in the media.

Because really? We live in 2014 and I think it is ridiculous that so many people are still very narrow minded. How is it possible that in this year religions still clash and being of a different sex or race is still an issue? Why is it that people spend so much of their time and energy in self made problems?

One day I want to become an Art Director and think of campaigns to move people. The one named above will be one of them. I do not know how yet but even while being at quite the start of my transition it is already on my mind to how I could get people to be more accepting. To have all the wrong presumptions disappear.

I realize that famous is a dream of many and life threatening to others. But you do not know which one goes for you till you actually done it.
