Transformers luxuosas da noite paulistana arrancam aplausos na segunda noite da Casa de Criadores

O desfile da marca Mahogany nesta terça-feira, 09, no segundo dia da Casa dos Criadores, estava tranquilo. As modelos desfilaram seus corpos esguios em roupas pretas, drapeadas e de bom caimento. Até que a fila de modelos terminou e um silêncio estratégico foi instalado na sala de desfile. As luzes foram dirigidas para o fundo da passarela onde as tops transex Bianca Exótica e Michael Love esavam a postos. Requebrando e fazendo carões bem mais abusados que das meninas que entraram antes delas, as duas personagens da noite colocaram o desfile no bolso e acabaram sendo as mais aplaudidas da noite.
