Fashion trivia:
The other day, I was going through the airport security and I was searched by a male security guard. I'm very often referred to as "Sir" in elevators and such. I think it has to do with being this tall and not wearing much lipstick. I think people just can't imagine I'd be a woman if I look like this.
Functioned as the muse and mascot of Dutch fashion designers Viktor and Rolf, who made an entire collection inspired by her.
