It is not only the story of a public figure, in addition a transgender one, who underwent a successful transformation into a woman. It is also the story of an extraordinary media campaign that makes use of the most of the available tools of the traditional media and Web 2.0 tools, in order to reach the widest possible audience and build a completely new image of a forgotten American hero and a supporting star of the worldwide popular reality show.
