We have showed you the three alternative covers of the gender-bending new issue of Tush magazine with sibling models, and here we bring you the editorial ‘Gender Bender’ that goes the distance in showcasing the ever-blurring gender divide.
Images of men with lipstick or ‘tucking’ the penis are expected. What is unusual is the shot of model Sebastian Simon wearing over a dozen of boobs. We have censored the image slightly as the original displayed the model’s penis along with the boobs.
The outlandish image was taken by photographer Armin Morbach.
