Blake Lively Feels Like a Tranny

Allure magazine is doing everything in its power to increase male readership.

First, the magazine featured Padma Lakshmi nude.

Now, the publication has revealed gorgeous photos of Gossip Girl star Blake Lively.

Inside the May 2009 issue, Lively dishes on a variety of topics. Among them: feeling like a transexual and dating co-star Penn Badgley:

On why she feels like a tranny most of the time: “I feel like a tranny a lot of the time. I don’t know, I’m….large? They put me in six inch heels, and I tower over every man. I’ve got this long hair and lots of clothes and makeup on. I just feel really big a lot of the time, and I’m surrounded by a lot of tiny people. I feel like a man sometimes.”

On her relationship with Penn Badgley: “You see people who will open up their relationships, who are very affectionate on the red carpet or are doing a reality show with each other, and their relationship just seems to crumble, so I decided to keep a vow of silence.”
