Regarding PONLIEN...

T
he one thing that attracts me to ladyboys more than anything is their femininity; that's why the type that I prefer is always small and dainty, very thin with a tiny build, and who act like ladies, even more than real ladies in some cases. Nothing personal against all the other type's of ladyboys, but everyone has their personal preference.

We had met Dina first in Chiang Mai last month; she was outside the Simon with a few of her friends and I approached them and told them what I do. Dina was the first one we were talking to, and then Yoh came over and I was surrounded by girls who were interested. A few came over, and then I got a call on my hand fone from a girl who said she was a friend of Dina, and would we allow her to come over for pics? Knowing the beauty of cabaret girls, especially in Chiang Mai, I booked her for a few days later site unseen.

When she walked in to the room she had 'my type' written all over her. Small, thin, perfect body, cute face, nice hair, feminine appearance and voice; you could bring this girl to thanksgiving dinner and no one would know she was a boy. So nice also; we started chatting and I realized I had a rare gem here; a mix of intelligence, beauty, grace, looks, style, you name it. Turns out she studied abroad in New Zealand for a year when she was a 'boy' of 14, so her english is perfect, and she is worldly as well. She has been outside of Thailand many times and wants to travel more, and I have a feeling she will. To say I was impressed with this girl and the way she handled herself is a vast understatement; even after the shoot, which went great, she stayed for about an hour and we chatted about everything.

About 2 weeks later I got a call on my hand fone in bangkok. It's Ponlien; she is in the city, and just saying 'hello'. Turns out she is down for about a week, visiting friends in On-Nut. Obviously my mind starts scheming about how can I possibly see this girl again? We do some small talk, and it turns out that she wants to check out the Big 3 bars in Bangkok for ladyboys and would I mind taking her? She has never been to these places, and wants to see if it would be a good place to re-locate; seems as though she is not making too much dough in CM because the cabaret is dead, so she is thinking about working in one of those places. Of course whatever was on the agenda for that night was now off; Ponlien was meeting me at the Nana BTS station at 9 and I was into that big-time.

Just before we met up she was hit on by 2 muscle- headed white guys who asked her 'how much' right on the Nana platform; no way they knew she was a guy. She looked unbelievable; tight black summer dress, following her curves nicely, nice handbag, high heels but not slutty-looking, just classic. She looked like she walked off the cover of Vogue and of course she was smiling ear-to-ear, like she always does.

First stop after a quick dinner was Casanova; it's always better for me to enter these places with a date, because I don't get mobbed. I had been there before with girls and noticed that the ladyboys are always cordial and nice to my friends, and this time was no exception. Art, Talesha, Bettina and a few others came over and were pleasant, and the girls that were from CM were chatting her up about home.

We stayed for one drink and headed down to Obsessions; this would be more her style if she was going to work out in these bars, because the smaller girls like her work there. as usual, I was mobbed in this place, despite my date, and after 20 minutes I was getting my usual headache in that bar [must be catchy because that seems to happen in KC3 as well; but not Casanova as much]. So we are in there and I introduce her to the Mamasan Jennifer, and they chat for a bit while I am getting hit up for drinks from the hordes of ladyboys surrounding me [well, it IS low-season after all!]. This lasted also for 1 drink and we were out of there.

Outside of Nana, i was ready to hail a cab to Patpong so she could see KC3, but she grabbed my arm and politely asked me not to, that she had seen enough. there was no way that she could ever work in a place like that, so why bother going way across town? She said she was way too shy, and even before we went to either place I had remarked to her that she was not aggressive enough to make it in those places; no killer instinct like the hardened veteran's who land all the customer's. She didn't know what the hell I meant at the time, but after she was in each place for 30 minutes and saw how the swarms of LB's moved towards each new guy that walked in the door, she realized that it wasn't in her nature to do that. In comparison, I could most closely identify Kui as having this same attitude; they just wouldn't last in those places because it's not in them.

Ok....so now we are outside Nana plaza, and its only about midnight. I say "ok, so what do you want to do now?" like a high school kid asking out the cheerleader to the prom. Not too many ladyboys make me nervous with their beauty and grace, but this is one of them. Som the post-op was definately another and I am like a little kid when I am around girls like this. So she says she is catching the train to her friend's in On-Nut, and now I have this sad and dejected look on my face and I am trying to get the point across that 'I live in the city much closer and we can be at my apartment in 20 minutes' and hoping she would buy it. We had already agreed on a repeat pic shoot for the next day [hence the Video you saw even before the pics from CM were released], so I gave her the lame excuse that she could see where I lived now so she could find it easier tomorrow. Hey, I never said I was a smooth-talker, OK??

In the interest of privacy, I really can't go into details too much here, but let's just say that all the dream's that I had had the past 2 weeks all came true that night; she turned out to be the most incredible girl in so many ways, and just being in the presence of a girl so beautiful and feminine, and yet so wild and care-free, was an unbelievable joy. There seemed to be some sort of connection between us back in CM, and it proved to be true that night in BKK.

The next day she came back and looked amazing; I had asked her to pick up something new and she bought another nice skimpy summer dress, white with flowers and a matching skarf, and she looked like a dream. We did another pic shoot and the nude video's, which you guys have already seen, and she looked great, needless to say.

OK....maybe I am rambling like a schoolkid with a crush and maybe this post was a little too long. But I just had to get my point across; if there was ever a ladyboy that had 'marriage material' written all over her, this is the girl. I will be going to CM in the fall for many reason's, but none more important than to see this girl once again.

(And i am happy she didn't take that new gig in bangkok!)
