Nanna Palösens

**Nanna Margrethe Palösens** (born 30 October 1944) is a Lashardian LGBT rights activist and former glamour model.

Beginning her modeling career in 1960, she went on to become one of the most influential and highest-paid Lashardian models of all-time. She retired from modeling in 1992 and devoted her life to campaigning for LGBT rights in Lashardia and the rest of Asmatys.

## Life and career

### Early life

Palösens was born on 30 October 1944 in Boras, Palsland. Her father was Pal Blömösens (1912–2007), and her mother was Marina Ögöburnödock (1915–2000). The family owned and operated a small ski resort on the outskirts of Boras. Both of her parents were former professional skiers who competed in the Asmatic Games. She was an only child.

While in primary school, Palösens skied with her parents but did not want to pursue it as a career. She excelled in primary school and wished to pursue a more academic profession, such as a doctor or lawyer. However, due to gender stereotypes at the time, she was discouraged from doing so.

Palösens graduated from primary school in 1960 as her class's valedictorian and prom queen. While originally planning on attending a culinary high school, she decided not to attend shortly before school began to pursue a modeling career.

### Career

Palösens first began to consider pursuing a career in modeling after being scouted in early-1960 while shopping with her mother. Her mother shooed the scout away, and told Palösens not to pursue a career in such a tantalizing industry. Palösens complied, but shortly before she was to begin high school, she told her parents that she wanted to pursue a career in modeling and move to Ubenmoor to do so. Her parents supported her.

Palösens and her mother then moved to Ubenmoor where they settled in Tenichi. She was soon signed to an agency and began booking several jobs as a print model. Her career steadily grew, and in 1962 she signed to Vorchez Models, one of the largest modeling agencies in the country. After being signed to Vorchez Models, she gradually transitioned from print modeling to glamour modeling. In 1964, she was named the "Sexiest Woman in the World" by Lashardian fashion magazine *Empress*.

In 1979, Palösens left Vorchez Models to sign with the newly emerging Natalia Model Management over concerns with her previous agency. She stated that executives and managers at the label frequently critiqued her weight and beauty, and that she was once almost sexually assaulted by a high-ranking officer when she first signed with them at 17 years old.

Palösens continued working as a model until 1992, at the age of 47. After retiring, she dedicated her life to campaigning for LGBT rights. She gave her first speech regarding the legalization of same-sex civil unions in Lashardia at the 1993 Ubenmoor Gay Pride parade. In 1999, she planned to speak about gay rights in Zakharia, one of the most socially conservative nations in Asmatys, but had to pull out after a planned assassination attempt was discovered.

In 2005, she worked with President of Lashardia Hans Grötöjohanes for recognizing same-sex civil unions in Lashardia, and in 2013, she was instrumental in working with President Olla Ottöfrenz to legalize same-sex marriage.

## Personal life

Palösens has been married four times. In 1963, she married Rentuscan billionaire Luc Brichero who was 22 years her senior. They had one child together, Milo, who was born in 1965. The couple divorced in 1968, and Milo was raised by his maternal grandparents in Boras. Through Milo, Palösens has three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

She married her second husband, Lashardian film star Albert Marköchens in 1975. They remained married for 15 years until his accidental death by automobile accident in 1990. In 1993, she married her third husband, Naxnic oil tycoon Vókram Plinthó. They divorced two years later. She married her fourth and current husband, Rentuscan actor Omar Bruno in 2003. They reside together in the Hoffmann district of Ubenmoor, in addition to owning a summer home in Cavarda. Palösens speaks fluent Lashardian, Pesan, Adoriamian, Rentuscan, and English. She has a genius IQ of 148.
