She has been the advertising face for Heatherette, M.A.C, Mego Jeans, Swatch, CAMP Cosmetics and more. Fashion design company Heatherette has used Lepore's image on much of their clothing and has chosen her several times to model their brand during Fashion Week.
The child of a chemical engineer father and a schizophrenic mother Lepore was assigned male at birth in Cedar Grove, New Jersey. Unable to tolerate dressing as a boy, Lepore made the decision to go to school presenting as female, but was not allowed to attend school as a girl so she was tutored at home. At the age of 15, she began designing costumes for dancers at a local strip club.
