george Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Angkookrat Warangnam beat hundreds of women to make it into the final of a modelling competition - and then shocked organisers by revealing she was a man. The beauty who beat hundreds of women to final of modelling competition revealed to be a man BRIGHTON, U.K.: -- Thai lady boy Angkookrat, known as Toon, was one of 200 'women' to enter the Brighton's Next Hot Model contest. Shy Toon sailed through the preliminary rounds, wowing judges with her deep brown eyes, long dark hair and slimline figure. After being given the green light by every member of the panel, the Lady Boys of Bangkok star, 26, revealed that she was born a man. Organiser Scott Woolgar said: "During the selection process it did not cross any of our minds for a minute that she was a man. "I know a lot of judges showed pictures to friends and family to get a bit of help and nobody twigged. "When we were deciding who to put through to the final she was on everybody's list. Everyone thought she was one of the prettiest girls. "The competion is based on approach, looks and personality and Toon has all of that. It is about beauty pure and simple regardless of whether Toon was born male or female. "We believe beauty is more than skin deep and would be honoured to have Toon in our final." Bangkok-born Toon, who has performed with the popular touring show for three years, will go head-to-head with eleven fellow finallists on the catwalk next Friday (May 25). If she is selected by the six-strong judging panel, featuring modelling star Sophie Anderton among others, she will win a trip to Dubai and the chance to star in her own professional photo shoot. Leggy Toon, who is mid-way through the group's nationwide 'Carnival Queens' show, is still listed as 'male' on her passport, which still features her birth name. Toon said: "I feel humbled to make it through to the final and to be recognised as a woman. "I'm excited and nervous about how hard it will be to win the whole thing. "I saw a couple of beautiful girls when I went to the heats so I know there will be lots of competition. I wil try my best to win." Lady Boys of Bangkok artistic director Phillip Gandey was proud of his star's achievement: He said: "It seems like they didn't realise Toon was a lady boy but our lady boys are so beautiful that every day people pass them on the street and don't realise these girls were born as men. "Brighton's Next Hot Model says it is looking for hot boys and hot girls and wehink Toon is a great contestant." -- The Telegraph 2012-05-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heng Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Publicity stunt. If he/she's been working a local show for years, surely someone (her competitor's camps) would have mentioned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post David48 Posted May 19, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) I know that it means nothing to most of us ... but to the person in question, Toon, I am sure is tickled pink. Let everyone live their life dreams ... I suppose the reason for revealing the gender issues now is part of the Face saving exercise and as Heng mentions above, maybe be better to be outed now on her terms then forced to be later on your competitors terms. It turns a potentially negative news story into a positive one. Edited May 19, 2012 by David48 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzMick Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Was this a dog show? Do the judges all have seeing-eye dogs? Even the photo creates enough doubt for me, and when in doubt, leave it out. Toon?

Soi Sauce Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 A Mamasan I know on Soi 6 n Pattaya says that the Ladyboys get four times the customers the girls do. In a country full of beautiful women, ain't it strange that the real stunners are blokes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
