AUSTRALIA, meet Carmen Carrera: the transgender model breaking stereotypes, breaking hearts and breaking the mould.

The 28-year old has a fanbase so immense, more than 42,000 people have signed an online petition for her to become the next Victoria's Secret Angel.

And despite not being born a "biological female", Carrera is going for it.

"I'm going after it and I'm not gonna stop," the beauty told Confidential.

"I know Victoria's Secret haven't acknowledged the loud noise my fans have made and that's for them. I'm just going to audition next year like any other model and see what happens."

Forget the "adversity" she will face as the first trans model to strut that famous catwalk, Carrera says the hardest part about achieving her goal will be controlling her love of french fries.

"I work out as often as I can but as far as diet goes ... I love french fries.

"I'm Hispanic, so anything with salt and starch. I'm going to have to kick my butt in the gym."

She certainly has high profile supporters in some of the biggest models to ever grace the world stage.

"Karolína Kurková (former Victoria's Secret Angel) was at my party and Naomi Campbell stays in touch.

"Linda Evangelista just gave me her number the other day and said 'We have to go shopping!'. They're all lovely."

Carrera and fellow RuPaul's Drag Race contestant Latrice Royal are touring Australia for the first time with In The Dark Presents and performing in Sydney tonight (Thursday) at The Gay Bar.

The first thing Carrera did when she touched down was head to Mosman nudist beach Obelisk.

"Australian men are hot. So, so hot. I think a few of them caught me staring."

Royal on the other hand has had plenty of drama to contend with. The luggage containing his wigs, costumes and make-up has gone AWOL in transit from Flordia to Sydney.

In what he calls a "queen emergency", local drag performers have banded together to create a costume before tonight's show.
