A 27‐year‐old makeup artist felt forced to defend her romance with her 33‐year‐old fiancée, known professionally as “Tiny Texie,” after being attacked online for the latter’s “peculiar” physical appearance.
Born with Kenny-Caffey Syndrome—a rare genetic disorder that causes short stature and skeletal abnormalities—Texie’s “childlike appearance” has propelled her into the adult entertainment arena, catering to a very specific market.
“There’s been times where it’s been very hard for both of us. She’s even got drinks thrown at her, she’s been threatened badly as well,” the makeup artist, Anastasia Graves, said in an interview.
