So I'm walking down the crowded sidewalk in this busy wholesale garment district area I'm staying in and I see a storefront with a big poster on the door for "Miss International Queen," a major pageant held each year in Southern Thailand, a recent winner being Chicago's Mimi Marks. I peer in the window and see brightly colored posters all over the room of advertising various "ladyboy" show and pageants. All of the writing is in Thai. The room contains a a main desk facing rows of plastic chairs, lined up like theater seats. Hmmm, could it be? Yes, it's a storefront trannie surge clinic! I'm really not sure if it's just for facial fillers and breast implants or for the whole enchilada. I just love how it's sitting out here on this busy block, not in any special neighborhood, boasting about the trannie clientele. It seems like something they would play down in New York so as to not turn off their more conventional customers.
