PATTAYA: -- Twenty-year old Kevin Balot, a nursing graduate from the Philippines, won the prestigious Miss International Queen, the worldwide pageant of transgenders and transvestites in Pattaya.

Kevin was also voted Ms Photogenic according to pageant organisers Tiffany Show and Piton Communications. Jessika Simoes of Brazil won 1st runner-up while Thailand's Panvilas Mongkol was 2nd runner-Up.

The yearly event held at the resort city of Pattaya, Thailand, on Nov 2, was aired live on Thai television and watched by millions. An offshoot of Tiffany Show Pattaya, a cabaret show, Miss International Queen has grown into one of the most popular pageants in Thailand and has attracted international media coverage.

It is also dubbed as the Miss Universe for transvestites and transgenders, whose aim is to empower transgenders, promote GLBT rights and provide a venue for showcasing their talents.

The pageant has also launched the careers of several winners including Ai Haruna and Treechayada ’Poy’ Malayaporn, who has become mainstream actresses and models in Japan and Thailand respectively.

According to organisers, the parents and sister of Kevin surprised him by flying in from Manila to Thailand to watch him compete and win the pageant. His mother was so proud she wanted to immediately join and congratulate him onstage after the pageant.

Kevin, who dreams of becoming a flight attendant, said he was proud to be the first Filipino to win the almost decade-long pageant, which has been dominated by winners from Thailand, USA and Japan. Three other Filipinos joined the pageant. One of them was Stefania Cruz, who won Miss Ripley's Popular Vote.

Other Special Awards Winners:

Best Evening Gown - Sunny Dee-Lite (United States)

Miss Congeniality - Noah Herrera (Venezuela)

Miss National Costume - Yuki Tachibana (Japan)

The Angel Talent Competition - Beni Tukishima (Japan)

Miss Perfect Skin By Asoke Skin Hospital - Matricia Mae Centino (Guam)

This world is getting sicker by the day.

Why? This event has been going for 10 years.

Ok so I am a little behind. Then I will rephrase. This world is getting sicker by the day for the last 10 years. I know I will be bombarded by the PC folks but I will just take it with a smile and not get into a pissing contest.

Why is this "sick"?

This brings up the never ending politics of disgust meme.

So many or most people aren't "into" transgender ladies. (Me either.)

So what? Don't go the pageant. I didn't.

I probably would go if you gave me free tickets though ... sounds like a fun show in a city with almost no culture, maybe such spectacles are better than nothing.

I recently saw a video exploring these kinds of issues.

A college professor asked his students, how does this make you feel, thinking about the two ugliest people you have ever seen having sex with other. Grossed out was the answer. Then he asked, would you want to make it illegal for these uglies to have sex, love each other, get married, etc.? Well, of course not.

Third!? First rice exports and now this? How long can this madness continue?

I'm banking now on the futsal world cup as a consolation prize. :(

You're just peeved that unlike millions of others you missed the live broadcast yesterday. Mind you, it may be a good alternative to the 'Saturday with the government' show or the normal soaps rolleyes.gif

Stay cool, grab a beer and keep smiling smile.png

It was on tv yesterday.

Had to watch for 10 mins to work out that it wasn't a bad plastic surgery pageant.

There must be 1000 Thai entrants more worthy finalists than what was on the screen that i saw.
