Lady looks like a dude: Female model goes male to get more jobs

[Bosonic]

If you're looking for a career that can take you into retirement, don't be a female model. But if you already are one and find yourself approaching the (gasp!) big three-oh, consider doing what Elliott Sailors, 31, did and switch on-the-job genders.

The New York Post reports that Sailors, a stunning blonde who for years worked steadily as a Ford Agency model, decided to switch things up once she found the offers were drying up. She cut off her hair, ditched the makeup and made use of her strong jawline to become a "male" model.

And guess what. It's worked.

Sailors told the Post that in the modeling world "men don’t need to look as young as possible, so I have a lot of time."

2. Confirmation, again, that women are discriminated against.

Age matters to a gorgeous female model, but a male model can work for years longer. Such a shame.

3. It is a shame

I'm glad she was smart enough to figure out how to make her skills work for her.
