Conchita Wurst strips naked for Austrian art project

Conchita Wurst, aka the Queen of Europe, has bared all for an Austrian art project, as reveleaded by Closer magazine!

The image is embedded with the quote "I don't go shopping in wigs and high heels!", referring to the fact that she lives her everyday life as Tom, outside of her celebrity persona.
In the article, Wurst talks about how she tries not to get recognised in the street.  The singer, who wowed an audience of over 180 million with her hit "Rise Like A Phoenix", claims Conchita was there for a long time, but never had a name. She says she begun to experiment with drag when she was 14 and that "you could say [she] experienced two puberties". 

The article becomes slightly more real when the article refers to Conchita's difficult time growing up. She moved out at 14, confused about her identity, to study at fashion school. She eventually ame out as gay at age 18. 

My favourite quote is "You don't have to love me. Nobody has to look at my photos. You just have to accept Mrs Wurst is there!" and that the girls in the women's toilets "love it when the drag queen helps them with their mascara".
