Chaz Bono Shaving His Face for the First Time

Chaz Bono is one of this year's OUT 100.

OUT Editor Aaron Hicklin sent over this photo and told us the magazine's starting to roll out this year's honorees.

Says Hicklin of the shoot with Chaz (above - click to enlarge): "He's the first of 100 people we shot, our annual roll call of honor, which this year was photographed entirely by Jason Bell, and themed around school given that adolescence is the time when most of us start coming to terms with our sexuality and who we are. Given that Chaz is transitioning, we felt shooting him in a boys bathroom was a powerful representation of his real identity, albeit with a touch of humor. Chaz was obviously up for the concept, too."

Chaz will be appearing on Entertainment Tonight this evening. He tells ET: "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....Still not anywhere near what I will look like, but really for the first time I am feeling much more comfortable with how I look physically....The most important thing about this for me is that my outsides are finally starting to match my insides...I feel like I'm living in my body for the first time, and it feels really good."

It’s just lie after lie after lie until we’re at the end of the bowl and the last person to be burned from the situation is me."

The second-floor club has a darkened maze room and other "intimacy zones.'' The courtyard boasts a kumquat tree and a 50-man hot tub, possibly the largest in Tampa. If it sounds like a bathhouse, don't describe it that way to the owners. Technically, and according to the city, the Ybor Resort & Spa is a hotel and a men's health studio. Sex and nudity in public areas is not allowed."

Cher Releases Statement in Support of Chaz Bono's Transition

Following last week's news about Chastity Bono beginning a gender transition and her identification as 'Chaz' Bono, many were wondering what Cher thought about all of it.

Said Cher in a statement yesterday:

"She is embarking on a difficult journey, but one that I will support. I respect the courage it takes to go through this transition in the glare of public scrutiny. Although I may not understand, I will strive to be understanding. The one thing that will never change is my abiding love for my child."
