Estelle Asmodelle is a well known Australian transsexual. As a teenage male, she studied towards degrees in Physics & Mathematics, but chose a career in entertainment as a belly dancer and underwent a full sex-change operation.
Estelle traveled throughout Asia and worked in cabaret, appearing in many shows, including Les Girls. She then became a model and an exotic dancer, working in the clubs of Kings Cross. In 1986 she became Australia’s first transsexual centerfold girl, by posing nude in a men’s publication. A media storm pushed Estelle’s name in front of the public. As far back as 1982 Estelle mounted a person campaign to change laws relating to transsexual people, and as a result of those efforts on the 13th October 1987 Estelle became the first legal transsexual in Australia. This gave her an even higher level of notoriety. Since that time Estelle has lived and worked in Tokyo & Los Angeles, and has been a model, dancer and actress. In more recent years she continues her creative pursuits and has also become a successful internet entrepreneur with a significant web presence. Since 2010, Estelle has also become a features writer for the Institute of Science and Technology IST (UK), and then in 2011 Estelle joined the news team at COSMOS magazine as a science news writer, publishing many articles in a wide range of fields. |
