Miss Trans Global 2020 Mela Franco Habijan tweeted on Monday, January 11 her excitement over being the cover girl for the January issue of Trans Beauty, a magazine based in London.
"It’s so surreal to see myself on the cover of a magazine. It’s my very first and it’s so poetic! I have my crown and sash on, and it’s for Trans Beauty Magazine London," she tweeted.
"I’m a Queen. I am Trans. I am Filipina," she added.
The cover was photographed by Ahleks Fusilero. The glam team included Omar Sali for styling, makeup, and dresses by Ray Bien Gonzaga Maglonzo, and hairstyling by Keigh Dones.
The magazine is one of the organizations that Miss Trans Global is involved with, according to the pageant's website.
In September, Mela became the first Filipina and titleholder of the pageant, winning over 17 candidates. – Rappler.com
