Chaz Bono Shaves; Stock in Bic Rises

Chaz Bono, formerly Chastity Bono, daughter of Cher and Sonny Bono, is currently in the final stages of his sex change operation.

In true celeb fashion, Chaz has gone directly to Entertainment Tonight to air his beliefs, feelings, and new look in a two part series (airing 10/29 and 10/30).

Via Popeater:

“I believe that gender is something between your ears not between your legs. That is something I discovered in the early ’90s. It was just a long process of being comfortable enough to do something about it. I was turning 40, and I thought it’s now or never. I want to still feel vibrant and be able to enjoy my life in a male body and not wait until I am an old man.”

Bono started taking male hormones back in March and noted changes right away, like the deepening of his voice.

Other changes are more gradual.

“I shave about once a week now. It kind of started to come in just like peach fuzz. I always wanted to shave. It is a very natural process. For my birthday I got a lot of shaving stuff.”

Hmmm…am I the only one picture Cher in the Norelco aisle of Target?

Chastity Bono Undergoing Sex Change – Photos

Chastity Bono, daughter of legendary duo Sonny (Bono) and Cher, is currently undergoing a sex change. Once complete, Chastity will be known as Chaz Bono. This is terrible news to the sports bra industry.

Chastity brought the spotlight to the gay/lesbian scene in Hollywood nearly two decades ago when she officially came out of the closet. According to her rep, Howard Bragman, she/he has considered this surgery for some time.

Via TMZ:

“He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by his loved ones. It is Chaz’s hope that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue, just as his ‘coming out’ did nearly 20 years ago. We ask that the media respect Chaz’s privacy during this long process as he will not be doing any interviews at this time.”

Um, am I the only one that was under the impression that Chaz already had this surgery? I mean she/he could give Cynthia Nixon’s fiancé, Rojo Caliente, baseball pointers.

In all seriousness, we wish Chaz well with his new venture. I am sure all of us ladies have thought about the potential of not having to wait in line for the toilet at a concert, or being able to watch hockey with one hand in a bag of chips and the other shoved down your pants.

The only issue with this transformation is finding the ‘man-bits’ donor. I can think of a few possible candidates (I’m talking to you Clay Aiken…you know you don’t need yours). Who’s on your list?
