Lady Hen Boy Night

Right so last weekend me and all my coworkers headed out for a night of celebration and good ol' fashion shenanigans. Basically the plan was to meet for a cocktail, head on down to the tent in the meadows to gaze upon the lady boys of Bangkok and then see where the night takes us. Well it took us straight to me getting made a fool of. But that will come in time. First: the lady boys.

This show was the most incredible spectacle of the eyes/confusion of the mind I have ever witnessed. Basically its men dressed up as women while the lipsynch and dance around in sequin outfits. HOWEVER, when I say men dress up as women, I mean the fittest men with better bodies then the cast of the hills and tucking abilities that would get their mothers guessing gender, and by lipsynching I mean choosing epic audio gems and choreographed re-enactments of unforgettable movie scene such as- prep your self- Pretty women- with an Asian Richard Gere and five Vivian's in blue and white dress/blond wig number; Dirty dancing with ball room dance number with Baby and Johnny (the former taller then the ladder) including memorable lift move. And my personal favorite Unchained melody, Potters wheel Ghost scene. That one rocked me like a hurricane.

Another great part of the show was that there were a number of men and women in the audience that would get up and dance and sing along with the numbers, my favorite was a blond with terrible extensions that fell over midway through the second act while singing along to a Grease medley.

Once we were riding a wave of excitement I was pulled into the washroom and told it was actually going to be my 'hen night that night' and was dressed up in an outrageous outfit and everyone was given masks that said they were my bridesmaids. We went bar hopping and pretty well wreaked havoc where ever we went. We were collecting donations for my honeymoon as well (actually made about £75, which bought all our drinks and my groceries the past week and a half).

We ended the night at GHQ (aka Gay Head Quarters) where we partied with all the lady boys outside of costume - in regular ladies clothes. Stunning. I obviously got my picture with one of my new friends, and I'm not exaggerating but I look haggard and terribly unattractive compared to this stunning lady boy- and not even because of my horrid facial expression. See for yourself.

(please ignore the french maids outfit and focus on the fact that the person beside me is a man.)
