19-year-old Andrej Pejic was discovered by a modelling scout while working at McDonald's and has since risen to the top of the fashion industry with his remarkable androgynous look. He has modelled both male and female lines of designers such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Givenchy and Jeremy Scott, to name a few.

Earlier this month, Barnes & Noble censored Andrej's cover of Dossier, saying "the model is young, and it could be deemed as a naked female."

The Serbian-born model, who says he's comfortable expressing both his masculine and feminine traits, has spoken about the controversy with New York magazine. "I think the question really isn’t the gender of the person on the cover, it’s whether it’s porn or it’s art," he explained. "And clearly, it’s art, so art really should not be censored in a democratic society."

Luckily, he has a sense of humour about the whole debate. "I have just been named the 98th sexiest woman in the world," he added. "So it makes it a little confusing for them."

I'm impressed by how well he's handling himself. I can't say I'd be so graceful under the same scrutiny. Just ask my editor, Robin Perelle, how thrilled I was about the last picture in my column. *cough*two chins*cough*. If some bullshit corporation tried to censor my entire body, including my two chins, I'd probably be throwing my BlackBerry at them faster than Oprah could call Naomi Campbell a "petulant diva." 

So I woke up this morning and felt like the big O, and I don't mean omnipotent. I mean I want to start a book club! A book club even gayer than Oprah. Er, I mean, Oprah's book club! Be sure to check Blitz & Shitz on the first of every month to see which homo-related book made the cut. 

Confessions of a Mask, the first novel by the legendary Japanese author Yukio Mishima, tells the dark and powerful story of a young man, Kochan, fighting against his homosexuality.

Set in Tokyo during World War II, Kochan wants to be normal, yet he can’t overcome his fascination with the male physique or his vainglorious fantasies of a bloody and noble death.

He desperately runs away from his true self in hopes of reaching normalcy but still struggles with his feelings for other boys. Kochan's repressed sexuality manifests itself in sadistic ways, and his daydreams are filled with erotic thoughts of blood-soaked nude men. 

He meets one of his friend's sisters, Sonoko, and convinces himself that he loves her. Meanwhile, air raid sirens are blaring, bombs are dropping, and Kochan is desperately struggling to be a strong, proud, real man. Yet he prays for death: he wants to be a victim of the war because death may be easier than lifting the mask he hides behind. 

Fact: She gave one of the best live stadium performances I've seen in my life. Fact: She and her music were the backdrop to the '90s and beyond in a way few other singers have been since. And another fact: When I think of Canada, she is one of the first things that comes to mind. Yes, it sounds so corny just saying it, but it's true. I'm happy she's coming back into the world and entertaining again....

...but a sad Shania? LYL La Twain. Live your LIFE!

Shocking that Conan O'Brien got the story behind the story:

"Use me till you use... me... up."
