    Comes from Greek mythology.

    How does one get selected to be a muse ("hey... wanna be my muse?")? How often is sex involved for these muses? How do they make a living... do muses earn a salary?

    In the 1970's and 1980's Tracy Africa was a international print and runway
    model, who was under contract with many major fashion houses, and had
    done photo shoots with many magazines and products.

    When someone divulged her gender to the fashion industry in New York
    during a shoot for ESSENCE she had to leave New York to work in Paris.

    She has had GRS, and is now retired from the fashion industry.

    Candy Darling, for whom the magazine "Candy" that Allanah mentioned
    was the muse for Lou Reed, Morrisey, Velvet Underground, and Andy
    Warhol.

    She was a star in a few of Warhol's movies, so yes, in many instances
    muses do make money.

    Oh God. Being a muse is not a job. It's just a nice way to say someone is so amazing that they inspire you to be creative in your art.

    The artist might pay the "muse" to represent their product, but that's a consequence of inspiring the product, doesn't mean that being a muse is a job per se.

    Thanks. I don't have any familiarity with the artistic life and I really didn't know. I thought in order to be an inspiration, she would have to be around his studio for much of her time. That would cut into her ability to do something else to make money. So I figured a quid pro quo existed, involving money or perhaps even sex, given the power differential that might exist between a struggling model and a famous artist.

    I could see that. Her cheekbones in particular are beautiful.

    [QUOTE=AllanahStarrNYC;797115]This is a lttle old but, I saw in Paris last year but I don't think it's been posted here.

    It's Candy, the first TS fashion magazine.
    Quite impressive with a list of MAJOR fashion talent & photographers
    collaborating and MAJOR fashion house advertisers.
    HEY ALLANAH, POSTED ABOUT THIS A COUPLE WEEKS AGO
    BUT IT DIDNT GET MUCH RESPONSE ?

    Transsexuals Are Edging Into the Mainstream Is 2010 the Year of ...
    "Candy, it turns out, is but one of the more visible bits of evidence that 2010 will be remembered as the year of the transsexual."

    " Not since the glam era of the 1970s has gender-bending so saturated the news media. The difference now is that mystery has been replaced with empowerment, even pride."
