Here is Mommy and I after our visit to the salon. Isn't she pretty! Wouldn't guess that she is almost 72!
Here are the stylist at the salon. Mario and Alexis. They are both males. In the Philippines there are many transvestites. And it was common to see teenage boys wearing girls clothes. No hiding....very open about their choice of wardrobe. They call themselves "she-males". Nate was a little confused(he should have been!) and kept asking me "is that a boy or a girl" and "WHY is he wearing make-up!". "
Not sure Nate, not sure. There were 2 "she-males" manning(no pun intended) this souvenir stand we liked to shop at and that is how we classified the place. "I will be at the shop with the she-males"....the one next to McDonald's". :)
That evening "Alexis" was competing in the Ms. Gay pagent and we got to watch her transformation. Doesn't she look convincing??

Ewwww, that's creepy! The one with long hair is quite convincing though.
