Hi Kids! Please get the September 2008 issue of "The Advocate" magazine, in which they gather a number of people from the GLBT community and talk about body image accompanied by gorgeous naked photos by celebrated photographer Eric Schwabel. This is probably one of the most intimate and personal interviews I've done since the "Soldier's Girl" days, but I felt like the topic of body image is an important one. These issues have driven the course of my life, as they do for so many, and we all felt it was important to discuss them.

The Advocate Issue 1015: The Naked Truth, with Calpernia Addams: http://www.advocate.com/issue_story_ektid59850.asp (Interview, video and photos)

I am researching every video of Calpernia for a new play we are doing where I play her.. daunting but very exciting

[CalperniaAddams]

@DaleyBoi Oh what is the play?

[ryanatl20]

i think you're pretty and you have this aura of gentleness about you which is very attractive also

[CalperniaAddams]

Thank you, Ryan! You're a sweetheart! =)

@CalperniaAddams

Why do so many transpeople like you? You're a testament to if you've had a hundred thousand dollars worth of plastic surgery you can be anything.

If you ask me...I'll listen to FIORWESTCOAST. 100% natural and real.

[CalperniaAddams]

@Glyvxx I dunno, I guess a MILLION people are somehow wrong and you are right... LOL or else YOU are a ridiculous idiot whose opinion is absolutely worthless. Hmmm... I wonder which is the truth?

[Estrodile]

Calpernia. You have been a role model & source of strength for me. I'd like to think other women, & even the guys, will agree that hearing a person in the spotlight expressing to the public how we all feel.

You have articulated in such a way that people who don't know what a transexual understands the struggle we endure to be our true selves.

To kaleidoscope1921, of course she looks gorgeous. Redheads do it best ;D

[MissLadyTS]

Thank you for an honest and open look into your life.

[orenjisukimayumi]

you look like a red-headed marilyn monroe :)

[fratguy76]

is it just me...or does Calpernia sound and look a little bit like Drew Barrymore?

[alspence]

I think you're gorgeous Calpernia! Inside and out!

[KingAaron19]

Omg Calpernia with the exception of the transsexual thing I feel you. I hate myself and I don't believe compliments. You're beautiful. You should believe them.

[VanWADebbie]

I`m trying to transition into a woman. Everytime I turn around I need to raid my savings.

Calpernia looks beautiful to me.

@CalperniaAddams hey! it's to highlight the 'Don't ask don't tell' rule and the flaws it carries especially with the current review. Things are obviously different here in the UK but we want to show the consequences it can hold and hopefully tell a truthful and honest account of the story x
