Boys..not really!

Ladyboys of Thailand 

It was a proper show, somewhere along the lines of Moulin Rouge. 

Except none of the performers were born female. 

I mean..wow. No words.

It was a full blown performance. 

The fact that ladyboys are so commonly, normally accepted even celebrated, speaks a lot about Thai society. 

There isn't any stigma or hate. Ladyboys aren't some derided freak show, they're in fact a proper popular show. 

The theme was largely Old school Hollywood  musicals, with some bits of relatively new songs thrown in. 

 Lip syncing performers crooning to 'sound of music' numbers and a few Asian slapstick burlesque performances. 

It was a pretty fun night, and they lined up outside the exit to be clicked with interested tourists. 

Of course I got myself clicked with a femme fatale. 

There were some performers sporting thin beards and bikini bottoms, and I'm wondering if they got their man parts chopped off before their hormonal correction began to kick in or what? 

I think I need to interview a ladyboy. 

I mean goddamit, their bottoms were so damn tiny and they didn't sport any bulge, so of course they didn't have their manly bits, but they didn't have their boobs either, and there were bits of moustaches attached. 

So, did they learn to fly before they walked?

It's beyond intriguing, and I've so many questions. Ones that only a ladyboy can answer. 

And all that jazz! Hah. 

Totally made my night. It's late, real late, and we're still soaking in Thai nightlife. 

Tonight is probably going to be wee hours of early morning..just the way I like it. 

I'd totally forgotten how fun prowling used to be. 

Soon..
