Wannabe Female Model Is Really a Dude?!

Posted Jan 4th 2008 11:09AM by TMZ Staff

Perhaps the only thing differentiating Bravo's "Make Me a Supermodel" series from the horde of other reality catwalk clones is that one of the female finalists may be a biological man! For the love of Zarf!

On the show's casting special, 22-year-old Fort Lauderdale hottie Shannon Pallay joked about her tomboy status by saying that "despite my extremely feminine physical appearance, I'm actually a man." Move over RuPaul, there's a new gender-bending supermodel in da house!

According to her bio on Bravo's website, Miss Shannon "describes herself as confident, polite, reserved and outgoing -- and says she is constantly contradicting herself." You can say that again!

4. Wow! He/she looks like he/she would make a great model. I bet the other natural girls are green with envy since he won't have the problem of celulite in the saddlebag area!

10. She wasn't being serious. She meant that she was tomboy and wasn't very feminine.

15. Um, you took your quote out of context, TMZ. Shannon Pallay is a biological woman.
full quote before you start wagging your tranny-happy fingers:
(On the flip side, I can't wait to hear what comes out of 22-year-old Shannon Pallay's mouth next. This will be hard to follow: "My name's Shannon, and one of the most interesting facts about me is that despite my extremely feminine physical appearance, I'm actually a man." Waaay too long of pause. "I'm one of the most masculine girls you'll ever meet. I'm like one of the boys.")
From your referenced source page. Doofuses.
