There’s “glamorous” as in Elizabeth Taylor and Princess Di, women who were always camera-perfect and beautiful. Then there’s “The Glamorous,” reserved for the sort of woman who looks as if she woke up with eyelashes adhered, hair just styled, lipstick glossy and rocking outfits mere mortals can’t even figure out how to shimmy into. Mj Rodriguez is one of the latter. Sporting a blunt, swingy bob and wearing a little black mini dress with sheer sleeves, the trans star of FX’s Pose set aside time during the recent Television Critics Association tour to chat with MediaVillage about growing up in Newark, the growth of her character Blanca and all the good things Pose has brought her way, including working with idols Patti LuPone and Billy Porter.
