Just left my home, and on my way to the main grounds of the parade assembly area, weather feels so bloody hot out there esp at 5pm in the arvo and with tons and tons of people everywhere, cos the parade is happening right in front of where i live! yes, absolute madeness but fun and exciting i tell u!!!

Posing with the one and only, Miss Gay Universe 2006 winner, and the Thai traditional costume float members, arent they all stunning!!!! Massive costumes and extremely colourful, i wish i was one of them, i love dressing up outrageously and glamorously like that! Gotta get one of them for my shows, hehehehe!!!!

Well! what do u know?! 3 exotic asian Charlie's Angels, strike a pose girls! there's nothing to it! Me, Ching aka Miss Japan from the pageant n a girlfriend of mine Birdie, who was a candidate in the pageant a few yeras back as Miss Thailand. Threesome anyone??? hehehehe

Me & Miss Candi Stratton aka Cher aka Miss Gay Universe 2006!!! damn girlfren, so much personalities!!! check out her website at www.candistratton.com I have her dvd, she's an awesome entertainer!
