GOSSIP - Attenti al Cox! La trans di "OITNB" nuda su "Allure" (ma manca un pezzo!)
Laverne Cox of Orange Is The New Black sprawls out naked in this new image for Allure magazine’s Nudes feature in the May 2015 issue, on newsstands April 28. "Going through life, you try to cover and hide, but it doesn't really work," says the Orange Is the New Black star, 30, who at first turned down Allure's request to pose nude. "I said no initially, thought about it, and said no again," she says. "But I'm a black transgender woman. I felt this could be really powerful for the communities that I represent. Black women are not often told that we're beautiful unless we align with certain standards. Trans women certainly are not told we're beautiful. Seeing a black transgender woman embracing and loving everything about herself might be inspiring to some other folks. There's beauty in the things we think are imperfect. That sounds very cliché, but it's true." Cox wanted these pictures for herself, too: "I honestly just want to make myself happy most, and if other people like it, then that's great. If they don't, then I'm still happy."
