Congratulations!
Vladimir Luxuria, the first transgender person elected to the Italian parliament, won the Italian reality show, Celebrity Island on Monday.
Love the name!
Luxuria served in parliament for two years as a member of the Refoundation Communist Party before losing his bid for re-election in April.
The reality competition show took place on the beaches of Honduras over the course of six weeks and in the end viewers picked VladLux as their favourite.
The show’s producer said, “I admired his capacity to defy the prejudices of his companions.”
As the winner, she walked away with $128,000.
Luxuria said half of her winnings will be donated to UNICEF.
Aw.. and she’s good hearted too!
