TV/TS CLUBS AROUND THE WORLD
the right places you can meet shemales!!!
Netherlands
Amsterdam
The IT Club
Amstelstraat
On Friday and Sunday nights the IT Club has a very mixed crowd of
gay, straight and transgender. It's a great club, very big and
get's crowded. You'll have a difficult time telling the
transsexuals from the real girls.
Song Thaew Cafe
Walk along Damstraat from Dam Sq. and it's the second canal on
right - go down 2 mins.
A friendly Thai bar that often has a lot of Thai transsexuals.
Don't be put off by the feeling that everyone else is Thai, it's
friendly and welcoming. I don't believe that the girls are
"working" but you never know.
Window Shopping
Redlight District
A trip to Amsterdam wouldn't be complete without a tour around
the redlight area. There are TS's working here but many are
post-op and it's unlikely that they'll advertise the fact if they
are TS. There are a lot of Thai/Indonesian girls working around.
Basically, you might have to go up and ask them!
Belgium
Antwerpen
Falconplein
In the streets near "Falconplein" you can find generaly
about 10-15 TS from Belgium, France, Spain and Latin America.
Somes are very nice. The price to suck and fuck begin at 1.000
bef ( 25 EURO).

Mexico
Nuevo Laredo
Boystown -
"Laredo is located just a couple hours south of San Antonio
down I-35. Once there park in lot behind mall and walk over
bridge to Nuevo Laredo.
Cabs will be waiting and will assume you want to go to
Boystown-$10 for the ride no matter how many passengers there
are. The first , biggest and best known club is Pappagallo's but
the girls are all "real"-not a bad place to dump off
your mates who arent into the shemale scene.
Mazatlan
"Mazatlan is a beach resort on Mexicos Pacific coast,
located just opposite the southern tip of Baja California in the
state of Sinaloa. Its popular with singles and families and
is definitely a good vacation destination for a single man, since
its beaches, bars and discos are constantly full of young,
attractive American, Canadian and European women.
That the town has a thriving--and legal--red light district is a
fact unknown to most of the tourists who pass through. It is
officially called the Zona de Tolerancia, though on local maps
its Francisco I. Madero and informally its also known
as Campo Siete, being the proverbial seventh barrack of the
nearby military base. Its female and t-girl prostitutes are
licenesed by the local authorities and are required to carry ID
cards and cards verifying that they have been checked recently
for venereal diseases.
To get to the Zona you have to take a taxi or an open air
pulmona-- negotiate the fare before departure to
avoid ripoffs. The trip from the Golden Zone, where the beach and
tourist hotels are, to the Zona de Tolerancia is several miles.
Your cab will stop for a moment so that a military policeman can
look through the window to check that youre not a uniformed
Mexican serviceman. Then youll travel a mile or so down
Calle Pino Suarez, a recently paved and lit but still desolate
road, past two isolated clubs, to an ocean of neon appearing amid
the squalor of tumbledown shacks.
There are four clubs here to consider. Dos Gordos is a rowdy
strip club and clip joint. La Fogata, riotously decorated in
Egyptian, Polynesian, Japanese and French boudoir themes, has a
staff of glum ladies and the occasional shemale, and a pronounced
cat aroma. At El Dragon Rojo, a club frequented by local couples
as well as single men, the women are friskier and the stage show
can range from the routine to the breathtaking. (Occasionally El
Dragon Rojo features the male- female couple Diego and Sade, who
must have trained as circus acrobats. Their act combines dance,
gymnastics, stripping and contortions in an incredible display of
dexterity and grace.)
Finally, there is El Famoso. Shemales are what El Famoso is
famous for. El Famoso's interior is el basico-- some tables, a
bar, a platform for dancing and shows, a bathroom that consists
of a single trough, with a barrell of water for rinsing your
hands, and a small room in the back, none too clean, for hasty
sexual encounters. Beers are 10 pesos--a dollar each. Girls'
drinks are 15 pesos or higher. The t-girls vary a lot in looks
and quality, but there are always a few stunners in the bar on
any given night, out of twenty or so shemales who live in the
neighborhood and work out of the bar. For a private party, you
can take a taxi to one of the town's hot sheet motels, where a
room typically costs 100 pesos--ten dollars. Los Cabanas, El
Real, and El Relax are all good choices. Each features porno
flicks in the rooms and an ingenious turntable payment system, so
that the management doesn't have to see the clients (and vice
versa).
The prices that the t-girls charge are ridiculously low by US
standards. Its my hope that the girls will eventually learn
that foreigners can always pay more than the 100 pesos they
normally charge their customers. Until then its virtually
pay what you wish. Taking a girl to a motel is less risky than
bringing her back to your hotel room in the Golden Zone. (If you
do insist on taking her back to your room, she'll explain that
it's customary for girls to order room service at the tourist
hotels, in order to keep the hotel management happy by cutting
them in on the transaction.)
Carnival, the week bafore Ash Wednesday, is the best party week
of the year in Mazatlan. (It's also when hotels are most crowded,
and prices are highest.) Monday of Carnival is traditionally
known as the Day of the Oppressed Husbands. On this night, the
annual Concurso Travesti, a shemale beauty contest, is held at La
Fogata bar. The elaborate show includes production numbers and a
competition in various categories, and the coronation of the
Queen of the year. For an affectionate look at this event and
more about the t-girls of the Zona see Sam Quinos article
at http://paper.mag.xs2.net/magazine/

Tijuana
"Noa Noa's is a very friendly ts/tg bar in Tijuana. It is
located just over the border in what is called the "Red Sun
"district. At least it was to me.
It is located at 1st Av. and D St. (Note one must read the street
signs carefully as they have other longer names as well)
Alajandra is your friendly TS Bar host and I personally spent a
remarkable few hours with Lucera a tall enchanting lady.
There was a floor show starting just as I departed with Lucera
and the entertainment looked extremely enticing.. " - Dan
"I have been going to the Noa Noa for years. Not only is it
one of the safer places in TJ but the girls are extrememly
beautiful. Many don't speak English or very limited. They are
friendly and even though there are many "working"
girls, there are also a few TS that go for the entertainment.
Many of the girls are looking for real relationships and very
discreet. I just love the place and every time I go I see more
new faces, all very passable and very beautiful."
United Kingdom
TS/TS PLACES in the UK Ok the UK is a bit weird for TV/TS places
and its not universally acceptable to go out dressed - its better
if you're more convincing - not only looks wise but also from the
view point of mannerisms - not every woman wears 6 inch heels!
The cities are better as they are more cosmopolitan - London
being the best, Liverpool being the worst. Here we go: Note - you
may be the only TV/TS/TG person in the venue

One warning for anyone attending venues in Manchester's Gay
Village. The main pickup zone for the red-light district runs
along two sides of it: Minshull Street leading in from Portland
Street, and Whitworth Street & Fairfield Street leading in
from Piccadilly Railway Station as far as Chorlton Street. There
is rarely any trouble, except possibly from being solicited by
prostitutes or punters (usually politely), but keep it in mind,
especially if you are convincing when en-femme. First-timers are
advised to enter the Village from Princess Street or Sackville
Street

There are other pubs and clubs dotted around the outskirts of the
gay village - these are TG ok venues - assuming you look
convincing and know how to be a woman - to go there otherwise
dressed as a drag queen or a bad Tranny will land you in trouble.
Places like Metz, Sound Garden, Yates Wine Lodge, Saturdays,
Jenny's - attempt only if you are VERY good and can pass as a
confident shemale.
London
- too many places to mention check out the fetish clubs and any
west end pub / night club will admit you assuming you are GOOD!

There are plenty of more Tranny venues but most of them are
rubbish. If you are looking for a convincing TG or a shemale you
won't find them there. If you are looking for a crap Tranny then
lots of places to choose from (email me for more information)

BRAZIL
The easiest and most convenient place to pick-up
travestis is along the world famous Avenida Atlantica right on
Copacaban Beach. Every night at around 11:00 AM, a bevy of
girls begin arriving and positioning themselves
strategically along the Western side of Avenida Atlantica. They
usually congregate at the same spots, and are pretty easy to
spot.
There are places where real girls stay, and there are places
where the travestis hang out. Usually the travestis hang out at
the beginning of Copacabana (close to where the Othon Palace
Hotel is located, at the opposite end of the strip of where the
Meridian Hotel is).
These girls are available for quickies in the car and
for extended stays at the many motels located throughout Rio.
Prices can range from $30-40 for a quick blowjob, to a lot more
for an all nighter. These girls are very flexible,
and they will gladly and enthusiastically perform any wish or
fantasy you might have, from the most basic to the most bizarre.
One piece of advice, do not get more than one of them into your
car at one time because that could present problems for you
(especially if you are not familiar with the language and/or
local customs). The later it gets, the easier it becomes to spot
the increasing number of girls who are out walking
the streets. They usually are around until dawn.
Another way to meet travestis in Rio is at the beach.
They frequent Copacabana Beach right across the street from the
famous Copacabana Palace Hotel. They usually begin arriving at
the beach after 11:00 AM, and the best months for this occur
during summer in Brazil (December through March). Take a walk
around the beach in front of the Copacabana Palace Hotel and you
will see many girls tanning, showing off their bodies
in extremely small bikinis known as tangas -- many
are topless. It is a sight to see. And dont be shy to
approach them, usually they will be open to
invitations.
Most travestis speak some Spanish and/or Italian in addition to
their native Portuguese. Very few if any, speak English. Sign
language will work sometimes depending on how willing the
girl is to work with you.
The third way to meet these girls is via the
classifieds ads in the newspapers. In Rio, the paper you need to
check out is the Jornal do Brasil that has the best selection of
girls. They are listed under the relax or
acompanhantes section of the classifieds section.
Most girls advertise themselves as
bonecas.
A boneca is a doll in Portuguese, and is the
expression that is used to differentiate them from the
regular girls that advertise. The girls that
advertise in the papers are usually high quality, and although
they may work the streets sometimes, they usually work from their
homes. They all provide pretty accurate descriptions of
themselves in the ads. The problem with this method is that you
have to know Portuguese, Spanish or Italian to communicate over
the phone. It is very difficult to talk to them if you are not
fluent in one of the above languages.
