'I like to serve beauty, not porn': Transgender model Adrej Pejic on why he refused to 'get aroused' for fashion shoot





Andrej Pejic is a male model with looks so feminine, he's the envy of most women.

Posing on the latest cover of Out magazine wearing flowers in his hair and a bridal veil, he continues to push gender-bending boundaries to new limits.

Pejic revealed how although he tries to approach his career with open-mindedness, he was once to show off his male anatomy on a shoot - an offer he had to refuse.



The Serbian-born model told Out: 'My philosophy is “take it and work it!” No matter what!



'Although, I have been asked to get aroused for a shot. I declined.

Pejic, who has featured in numerous high-end campaigns and walked the runway for both men and women, insists he wants to be taken seriously as a model: 'I have to work twice as hard to be taken as seriously as the top girls.



'I understand that it will take time for me to prove that I'm actually a good model once you look past the media hype and the uniqueness of my looks.

'But hey, I'm not the first that has had to fight.'



The Australian was recently one of the chosen few to meet the Queen at a Buckingham Palace event ahead of her visit to the Commonwealth.



Pejic wore a Versace skirt for the occasion.

He said: ' I was tempted to wear a suit, like a nice fitted tuxedo, but it didn't work out in the end.



'So I went for a '90s Sharon Stone-inspired look. And the hair added some youth to the situation.
