This friday Tiffany Show World on Pattaya’s 2nd Road hosts the annual Miss Tiffany Universe pageant for women of the 2nd category from all over the world. The event is viewed by millions of Thais and hosted by the reigning Miss Thailand Universe, who is naturally feminine while the beauty of her ka-toey sisters are aided by breast operations and hormonal treatments, still some of the most beautiful women I have seen in Thailand are not women at all. Not that I’m fooled for a minute. A few seconds and maybe longer if the lights are dim and none of my friends are in the bar.
Thai transvestites start taking hormones as early as the age of 12 and some even undergo castration in their mid-teens to prevent further masculination of their bodies. Beauty doesn’t come cheap either, but it’s the dream of every ladyboy to compete in this contest. Not for the money, but the glory.
Well, also for the money.
I think it’s almost a million baht this year.
Hell, if I was pretty I’d give it a try.
“I feel pretty. Oh so Pretty. Oh so pretty and witty and gay.”
