"Boys from Brazil" / Transsexual Fashion Models
Taken from this month's issue of Vice Magazine
The backstreets of Lapa and Gloria in RIO, Brazil, are filled with some of the most self-obsessed young men in the world. In the alleyways, hotel rooms and doorways of the grubby red light district work some of the world's most ambitious teenage transexual male prostitutes.
All day and night, you'll find them out touting for business so they can make enough money to keep themselves in nip and tuck operations, botox, sillicon and collagen injections. Most of the boys here are under the age of 20 and make anything up to $1,000 a day from TS-obsessed sex tourists.
Our man in Rio told us: "They don't care what others think about them but consider themselves the cream of ‘gay beauty'. The dream and envy of both men and women."
