ONCE UPON A TIME, I WAS THAT SHOWGIRL - Episode 10


From the last episode... Episode 9: Mengorak langkah... MISS WORLD 2002

The minute they announced Miss Colombia into the final 10.


So kalau rezeki mek tak der di Miss World, kat mana pulak dah? Perjalanan nak jadi showgirl nih, bukan senang ek? Or should I say, perjalanan nak jadik Ratu? Hmmm - well - since kiteorang nih insan 'special' insan 'ketiga' - I guess the world of Ratu also falls under the SHOWGIRL'S LIFE- so ape jadi pada kiew lepas tragisnya dua kali bertanding dua kali dapat 1st runner-up??? Org berkata2, yerrrr masih. Org mengutuk- yerrr masih. Orang memuji- sudahhhh mula berkembang. Eheheheh. Tapi still, ke mana pulak mek lepas tu? Takkan that's it jer? Tu baru April 2002??? Hmmm - what happens next, was this- A BIG STEP mek amik lepas pada Miss World 2002 itu. I ventured into something yang I sendiri didn't expected... ape ek? Tunggu lah kat "Once upon a time I was that Showgirl"- Episode 10 (CONFIRM!!! Sampai Part 20 pun mek tak sure leh habis ke idak this story! HARUS NZ MAKAN HATI, KAN KAN KAN NZ KAN KAN KAN!?!?!? Ehehehe - maaati la kau, MyO-QOI! (Haiyoh! Sempat promosi nih! Mek suke mek suke!!!!)

Muke sentap Miss Colombia dapat 1st Runner-up - AGAIN! Ehehehehe...


Episode 10: I once said...

I once said I do not wish to further my studies in Accountancy and Finance - what happened? I earned a degree.

I once said I do not wish to enjoy nightlife so much when travelling abroad - ado? Nan ado! Asalkan sampai London, tanduk sudah keluar dikepala. Asal sampai ke Amsterdam, Red District, here I come! Ehehehehe.

I once said I will never apply make ups (even so be it just shinning lip gloss) on my face - How? Day time also bibir dah macam spastic; muncung jer sebab penuh lipgloss yang hampir meleleh bagaikan air liur bebudak bayi itiew...

I once said I will not be in drag, full - semidrag would do - in the end? Amacam? Itu drag full complete siap buat show tube dress jatuh sudah nampak itu puting pon sudah buat!

And...

I once said I will only be competing with gayboys in drags (since I am one too) - and not in a million years will I compete with 'kakak2 seniors' (full time drags queens/ post ops or pre ops) - dan alkisahnye bermulanya... disini..........

Right after Miss World; my strunggles to bring the name up, thus enjoy the things I enjoy doing at that time (goodbye semidrags and "hello" "welcome" "hie" to full time gayboy in drag) - goin' out as a dragqueen in full (gayboy edition) continued. Although me stopped performing, still - goin' out in drag whenever I had the time, kire, macam, MESTI punye la. Ehehehe - be it just pegi ke Bukit Bintang or Budak Biru Club ke ape ke - janji, drag. And the name (mine) eventually went up sikit, hari demi hari... sampai lah I was convienced to masuk Miss Superdiva 2002.

I got to know Mak Ayam Noreen (Mak ayam is like, guardian lah for some newbies and stuffs - these ppl will teach, guide and so forth) through a friend, and it seemed that Mak Ayam Noreen was Zarina's mak ayam (Zarina was that dearly Miss Spain who won Miss World 2002 - yang I got second tu ler). And so after sembang tu sembang nih - baru ku tahu, baru ke kenal 'arti' Beauty Pageants....

Beauty pageants in KL nih ade two types; one is for Transgenders (gayboys in drag who drags part-time) and the other one is for Transsexuals (Pre-ops and post-ops drag queens; who lives like a girl 24-7...) So anyways, the last 3 contests yang I competed tu were for transgenders only. And this upcoming Superdiva, is for transsexuals. Now how can that be? Am not a transsexual - how can I compete?

Well you see now - for transgender contests, the ground rule is that the contestants must be a transgender - and those transsexuals tak dibenarkan compete as, kalau diaorang compete jugak - you know what it means? Sah sah diaorang lagi cantik dan have all the advantages in the world - sebab diaorang dah memang like girls - so? Go figure. Tapi, for transsexual competitions, transgenders are allowed to compete - but in order to win, damn you have to be REALLLY pretty to beat all those yang dah 24-7 pre/post op drags. Dan selalunye, jarang lah nak tgk transgenders akan bertanding dengan transsexuals - only those yang berani mampos dan nak commit suicide jer dibenarkan masuk. Paham dak? I hope I dah buat explaination yang akan memudahkan u ols paham - kalau tak paham2 jugak, tanye je kat COMMENT area tu nah? Ehehehehe...

So anyways - NO, waktu tu, I wasn't that keen and crazy to compete with these 24-7 drags dalam Superdiva tu. Namun, for EXPERIENCES sake, ku sanggup jugak merelakan diri nak bertanding.... like, sudah bersedia, nak gali lubang kubs sendiri la kirenye... maaaaati la mek!

"You can't go out there on your own - you're gonna need some help..."

That's what Mak Ayam Noreen told me each time I gi jumpe dia at her apartment in Sunway. And after explaining this and that, pasal itu ini, so that I yang dah sediakala confused nih gets even more confused, kan, so that's when - I was introduced, to the legendary... Shasha Penang...

So this is Shasha dikala waktu 'biasa' - tidak gemar bermake up pada waktu2 biasa; kecuali during shows ataupun pageants/ contests. Samer ke Shasha nih dengan mek? Tak kan? Tu la pasal - mek also dinch hui kenapasal org cakap muka mek sama ngan muka dia. Isk... Anyways, sah sah lah dia lagi der vast - natural woman dah! Kan? Mek nih jer yang terpaksa bertempek bedak 10 kati baru nak cantik; tu pun, cantik ke? Dinch! Eheheheh...


I think I've mentioned Shasha's name in one of my earlier episode - Shasha was one of the best showgirls and beauty queens in town - jarang kalau masuk pertandingan dan kalah. Dia selalunye ade placing dan she's definitely, one of a kind. Some say nothing so special about her, but I see a lot of qualities in her. Some say dia 'azab' bile dia biase2, try looking at her when she's up on stage! Va va voommm!

So- getting to know this beauty queen was so so so interesting - not only she let me see her boyform pics (PS- she dah 24-7 post-op drag queen dah... selamat dan successful now, in London) but she also very der tak kedekut ilmu, turunkan secrets steps catwalk, how to pose - gave ideas about dresses and what not. Waktu dedekat contest Superdiva tu, I remembered ulang alik ke umah Shasha Penang in Cheras, fitting dress lah (dress telah disponsor penuh oleh Shasha Penang herself; dan dia honestly jarang nak kasik to adik2 gayboys, normally dia kasik sewa to pre and post op drag queens only - tapi tetiber jer, dia nak mek pakai her dresses; note, bukan sewa ek, sponsor! Mek sungguh terharu time itiew... dan.. yer - SELAMAT la duit mek sikit! Ehehehe... ) dan oleh kerana kekerapan jumpe Shasha lah, gossip/ khabar angin baru telah diwar2kan....

"Lady Loreal tu now dah jadi anak ayam Shasha Penang...."

True enough, Shasha memang took me as her anak ayam but she prefers to let the relationship be like kakak and adik - sweet dan sooo down to earth kan dia? And dari situ la munculnye Lea Laurielle - idea bernas Shasha Penang. We became very close (even after the pageant tu) and I always enjoyed her company and vise versa; by then - she banyak kenalkan me to other 'kakak2' drag queens (when I say kakak2 nih, paham2 aje lah - those with boobies, feferinaz 'post ops' - basically lives the life of a girl 24-7) around town - Pasha (Shasha's housemate), Sherryn, and others. Tapi, its like, by becoming Shasha Penang's anak ayam (who so happens to look like the mak ayam when in drag), indirectly ppl talks and when ppl talk - that's when my name ade itu commercial value siket. Tapi I was like, either SEGAN or TAKUT nak approach these peeps - and when I don't smile, my face dah jadi itu macam 'masham' la sikit dan TERUS orang chop "Lady Loreal KEKWAT"!!! (Kekwat means sombong)- Tapi time after time I kept on saying that its just my facial expression jer, and stuffs - tak kenal maka tak cinta, kan? Ehehehehe....

Bergaya dengan dress yang dikeji sebagai "Dress bermaterialkan kain curtain" di malam semifinals Superdiva 2002 - Keji kan kutukkan melampau itiew? Adddee ke diaorang kate kain dress mek seperti kain curtain? Isk isk isk... sentap! Ehehehehe...


Time yang always envies us - terbang pantas, passing our lives so cepat sampaikan we tak realize pon masa dah berlalu. The Superdiva pageant went well (di pageant itu lah jugak I got a lot of new friends, a lot!) - although I became the one and only finalist in the top 10 who is a gayboy dragqueen, competing against 9 other full fledge drag queens, - still - it was definitely one of the best experiences of my life which I thought I WOULD NEVER have. Once I said I will never compete with full fledge drag queens - I ended up winning BEST LEGS award that nite at the Superdivas. REAL KEJUTAN TERGUMPAR!! Eheheh - but overall, I didn't expected anything - not even placing any hopes into getting into the top 5 (which I eventually memang tak dapat pon.. just the one time sub-title jer malam tu - jaaaaaaaaaaadi la, kan? Best legs woooo! Sapa mau cellen!?!?!?!)

Wajah gumbira di malam finals; though only placed top 10, but still - I won BEST LEGS! Hip hip, hurraay!!! Waktu tu I was so happy that night, dan jgn ditanye lah how happy the KJ girls were that night, yang datang malam tu memberi support kepada the only gayboy dragqueen yang managed to get into the top 10 finals. Bagai nak meletop China Blues Club Pearl Point International Hotel malam tu. Ehehehe...


Owh! Dan actually - di contest Superdiva nih la.... pengalaman PERTAMA mek memakai swimsuit!!!! IN PUBLIC! GOD! Malunye time tu - kepitan dinch melerts lagi, very der takut sangkak tau. Terpaksa amik kain dan buat ikatan ala ala pario gittu... bole? Org lain semua dengan bangganye menunjuk2 either kepitan mampanz bagaikan c*pap tembam, ataupun dengan rela hati menunjukkan cikpuks bedahan beribu2 itu, persis fefetz betul perempuan. Mekkkkk jer coverline - kezis... Pun begitu, Shasha said mek tak perlu risau - my name musti dalam top 10 dan eventually, true enuff, I was selected into the top 10 and then won myself a subsidiary title which Shasha said...

"Bagus la tu dik. Percubaan pertama jer, dah dapat top 10, dan menang Best Legs... syukur lah dik!" Gittuuuuu katanye. Ehehehehe...

Kekwat kan muka mek??? Very der masam like the cuka, kan? No lah - actually, time tu I was like feeling supermodel MALU sebab had to be in a swimsuit! Thank God it was a one piece; kalau two-piece, THAT'S IT!! This was during the heat-rounds of the Superdiva Beauty Contest 2002 - which I made it through quite unexpectedly. Ehehehehe...


Frankly speaking - that event bebetul will forever terpahat dalam hati mek - becoz so many things happened sebelum, semasa dan selepas dari Superdiva Beauty Contest 2002 itiew. And the 'later things' that happened in my life, yang akan membuatkan this story gets lebih intense dan lebih interesting. So, hmmm, ape lagi yang berlaku in 2002 ek? Ahhh... yes! To find out more - paham2 aje la. Nantikan kemunculan Episode - 11, Once upon a time, I was that Showgirl....
