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 Mexico’s Pacific coast, located just opposite the southern tip of Baja California in the state of Sinaloa. It’s 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 it’s Francisco I. Madero and informally it’s 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 you’re not a uniformed Mexican serviceman. Then you’ll 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. It’s 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 it’s 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/ mag_dec99/mexicanqueens/mexicanqueens.html.


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


6. Bar 37
A mixed up front winebar, free entrance - only attempt this if you are very convincing - the men are straight and very very manly. Capacity 600

8. Manto winebar

9. Paradise Factory,
situated just outside the gay village, a gay / mixed club hosting different nights, recognised dj's playing a mix of tunes, 3 levels, including the woman's (TG welcome) only bar. Admission £3-£10 depending upon night. Capacity 1000

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.

- too many places to mention check out the fetish clubs and any west end pub / night club will admit you assuming you are GOOD!

More full on club venue for TGs and their admirers, weekly cabaret, dance floor plus chill out room (doubles as restaurant). Admission £8 - £12 depending on type of Saturday night. 10pm - 4am. Capacity 500 - never reaches this limit! The trendiest Tranny club in town. If you look better than 7 out of 10 then go here. Info line 0208 363 0948

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 don’t 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.
