Re: Miss Understood's Thailand 2003!
I'm in Pattaya, the flashy trashy beach town with the giant drag shows I spoke of, ALcazar and Tiffany. I just went to both. Wow. Wow. Wow. These shows are multiple orgasms for costume lovers. They are overdone beyond belief! It's Vegas in Asia on a sugar rush! Yes, lots of pink and green. There are girls rising from the floor, flying through the air; name a stage effect, they do it. I want to drag all my friends here just to see these extravaganzas! I could see you all squealing wit...

Re: Nightclub Disasters
It will be interesting to see what happens because of these two tragic events. I hope the outcome is not more security in the clubs, I don't think that will help. Also, I don't think they should have rock theatrics in such a small place, leave that for the arena and stadium tours.
