A young male who won a beauty contest after his girlfriend helped him transform into a woman has had his title stripped after organisers found out he was really a man.

With her sultry gaze, tumbling locks and lithe figure, it’s not difficult to see why his alta ego became the star of this lingerie shoot and won over the judges of a beauty contest.
The photos were uploaded as an online entry to a competition held by a lingerie firm in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, in the Sakhalinsk Oblast region of south-eastern Russia.
The contest called for entrants to send in the best pictures of themselves in underwear.
Anthony borrowed makeup and lingerie from his girlfriend to pose for the photos, which turned out stunning and judges were blown away by the striking brunette in the pictures, who was eventually crowned the winner.
But the surprise revelation of the contestants gender has since seen the 20-year-old student stripped of her prize.

The model in the pictures is actually a man, 20-year-old Anthony Nagorny, who borrowed his girlfriend’s lingerie and makeup to take the photographs seen here.
His girlfriend, whose name is unknown, helped him with his hair and selected the four photos he eventually sent in to judges under the alias of Ms Avocado.
Anthony, a student at Sakhalin University, won the competition, but when the judges found out he was male, they withdrew the promised prize of a professional photo shoot.

Instead his retracted prize has been shared between three female runners-up by the chain of lingerie stores running the contest.
Lingerie firm manager Zhanna Stolpovskaya said: ‘This boy looked very much like a girl. As pics were free to upload, he decided to participate too.’

Aleksey Popov said online: ‘Idiots. Now he can easily sue them for gender discrimination. And you might have thought that only women get discriminated…’
And Charlie Russell added: ‘They are so full of s***. Why wouldn’t they announce gender requirements from the very start?’
