Miss International Queen 2009 Beauty Pageant

In Pattaya, Thailand the largest TG beauty pageant was held over the weekend. Haruna Ai was the winner among 21 participants from all over the world.



I covered this in my blog on Tuesday and I dug up some more information that the news outlets missed, check it out if you want :)

You could never have smething like that here in the US. Sarah Palin and the conservative republicans would lose their ever lovin' minds.

Yea, that's a shame, eh? I would really love something like this here, of course I wasn't there nor did I watch it but it seems to have had an elegance and class about it.

I'm going to try to find footage :)

Has anyone even tried to do something like that in the US?

I've seen drag queen pageants on HBO and I think they were in Vegas

Yes, I saw a film about the one in Vegas, which is why I was surprised that you said there was nothing like this in the US, not sure if we have anything here in Good ol' Britain - maybe some of my fellow Brits could enlighten us?

Oh sure. The have drag queen contests. And if you catch the doc "Paris is burning" I think the name is there are several well known tranny balls are held annually. That's where Ru-Paul came out of and where Madonna found voguing. But it's all underground. You'd never see a contest like this sponsored by Donald Trump and shown on primetime.

The impression I got was that the contest I saw had transsexuals and transvestites in it - the whole transgendered spectrum - mostly TS - however I will agree that it seemed to be a bit underground- the sort of thng you can get away with in Vegas but not elsewhere for example and certainly not shown on one of the major networks .

The difference is Thai transsexuals in pageants look like women not drag queens.

In America most transsexuals beautiful enough to pass are
going to go stealth if they can.
