LA: 11/9-Greet and Meet @ Queen Universe Pageant

[Realgirls4me]

(Hopefully this thread will remain buoyant between now and then)

Unofficial Greet and Meet at the Queen Universe Pageant. Here is your chance to meet not only fellow posters from this forum, but more importantly, hobnob with some of the TS women you have seen pictures of and read about on this forum.

What: Queen of the Universe Pageant
Where: Circus Disco, 6655 Santa Monica BLVD, Los Angeles, CA.
When: November 9th, 2008

http://www.queenuniverse.com/index.html

Come one, come all. I just got word this past week from Karina informing me that the Queen of the Universe Pageant is indeed scheduled for Sunday November 9th at the Circus Disco. This pageant succeeds the Queen USA Pageant which just took place on the 7th of this month.

I have yet to attend a Queen USA pageant to draw comparisons, but the Queen Universe pageant supposedly has more contestants as well as attendees (Maybe Felicia or Willie can pipe in to clear that up?), so come join the fun. Look at how much fun the lovely Celeste had at the more subdued Queen USA pageant recently? :)

For all of you from across small and big town America who have always wondered about the girls from Los Angeles, and have wanted to travel out here primarily for that reason, what better opportunity, right? Coming out here for ONE week/Friday night at a club such as Peanuts can be hit or miss as far as who is there. At a TS pageant you're guaranteed to see beautiful TS women, not to mention those TS luminaries always in attendance, so get off that John Deere tractor and make plans to head west for a cool evening.

For the women of this forum, what better way to see how we do such things on the west coast, hobnob with fans, or simply attend a large TS function in southern California? It would be so cool to see some girls from the midwest and east coast attend.

For you posters and lurkers, look at it as a night to affix a face with a handle (if you'd like), chew the fat with said person(s) in between those lengthy costume changes, and cavort with beautiful women on and off the pageant runway. Afterward, many of us head out en masse for a bite to eat at the same eatery. Cool, huh?... Seven weeks is plenty of time for you guys to plan for this, find a cheap flight, get a room,etc, and get out here. If memory serves me, the proceeds actually go to charity, so there is a noble angle to it also.

The pictures are from the two previous Queen Universe pageants I've attended. :)

[Willie Escalade]

This is indeed the bigger of the two. Twice as many people usually show up for it, and there are more contestants. Of course I'll be there...most likely hanging with Bob, Buddy, or Felicia...snapping pictures of course.

Lots of girls (and guys) in the community come out for this. It's fun!

[icarus2112]

hmmm 4 girls I recognize from their work and one other girl I have actually met, if the girl in pink bikini in 2nd pic is who I think it is. So hows the weather early Nov in south Cali? haha

[nevada64]

There doesn't seem to be what hour the pageant starts. Anyone know?
Thanks. And thanks for the heads up. I always learn about these events after they have happened.
Cheers.

[Realgirls4me]

Neveda64: Well, I believe the two that I've attended were suppose to commence around 7:30, but with the primping and costume changes involved my memory has them starting around 9:00. I recommend getting a VIP seat for a few bucks more if you plan to take pictures. Drive in for a fun Friday night at the Palms/Peanuts, stay through Sunday for the pageant, drive off Monday morning. Hardly any missed work for a memory that will last you a lifetime quite possibly. Easy, huh? :)

Icarus: The climate is actually quite pleasant in November. No downpours in other words. ...Um, you do know that it's held indoors, right?

Thanks for confirming that, Willie. By the way, Willie, as well as those he mentioned are some of the coolest folk you'll ever want to meet. ...They behave nothing like they do here in this forum. ;)

[nevada64]

Thanks for the info.

No need to drive in on Friday. I'm already here. I live in Hollywood.

Cheers.

[Realgirls4me]

Oops. I assumed given your handle that you hailed from ... um, nevermind.

[nevada64]

Most understandable. Thanks for the pic...

[Realgirls4me]

Most understandable. Thanks for the pic...

No problem ... the girl in the blue has such incredible legs, by the way. :)



... I just had a poster -- wanting to support her sisters by attending -- from back east PM me about lodging. Anyone familiar with that area better than I am? What are some reasonable, clean motels and inns within a few minutes driving distance?

I did warn her that places in that area do fill up quick for the weekends.

[LAGent4ts]

I attended my first last year and had a great time and plan on attending again. Celeste is correct, last year it started much later than the posted start time and ended around 12:30 or 1:00am if I recall correctly. And the VIP seating is reasonable and includes bar service. As far as Hotels, call the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, give them the name and address of the Venue, price range of hotel you are seeking and they will provide you with a number of possibilities.

Where does one buy a ticket?

[Realgirls4me]

Where does one buy a ticket?

You can purchase them at the door.

If you do get the VIP ticket (table seating near the stage for $10.00[?] more), get there around starting time and get a table near the stage or runway ... the only down side to this is that you have to sit there and hold on to it during all the wait because it does not commence on time. :(

[juliana_dominguez]

im still thinking if i should join... im in need of sponsors.

[Realgirls4me]

im still thinking if i should join... im in need of sponsors.

Hi, Juliana.

How much does it cost to sponsor a woman? It's probably pretty pricey given their elaborate costumes, huh?

I hope you can at least make it to the event?

[Realgirls4me]

LAGents:

Thanks for the help. I noticed that there are a lot of small independent motels and inns off of Sunset blvd, but the key is to get rooms at these places before Thursday of the coming weekend. These places generally have no vacancy on weekends.

For Icarus (My favorite female part -- the thigh) :)

[NYCe]

Not sure if I can make it out there for this, but this sounds like a blast.

[Willie Escalade]

More pictures. My buddy took these last year. 36 pages! :shock:

hey mr. willie escalade, lol, do you have Bob's photos from queen usa 2008? he said, it's gunna be on his site for free viewing, but i can't get a hold of it.

Is there a no tuck rule at this pageant? :shock: I see a lot of bulges in these pictures.b 8)

[nevada64]

Repeal the tuck rule...

[Realgirls4me]

Not sure if I can make it out there for this, but this sounds like a blast.

First, thank you for making this a sticky. This gives the event stature, and serves as a constant reminder to hopefully get some of the posters here, particularly the women posters, to consider taking a mini vacation out to Hollywood and support a TS event.

Secondly, I hope you can make it out here, NYCe. It would be an honor to meet -- and finally thank -- the man who made Hung Angels possible. In fact, if you do eventually commit to attending, every person who resides in southern California and frequents HA either as a poster or lurker, should make every effort to attend and thank you in person. It's the least they could do. You have provided such a window to the members here and this place can't be cheap to run. I hope you will make it.

Thanks again.

He hasn't posted them yet. I just went to the site to see for myself; they're not up there.

Great pictures! ... I really wouldn't mind coming home to numbers 2, 13, 23, and 25, among others. The shapeliest legs belong to number 23. Yum-yum!

Name dropper. ;)

By the way, y'all, Willie, like everyone else I've met through this site and TER, is one of the coolest people you'd ever want to meet. Right after I was introduced to him, his response was to ask me if I would be attending the next event in question at the time. He insisted I attempt to make it. This was after just having met him.

I think the reason that Willie, and many of the others I've met through sites like this, get along so well initially is because we are all part of a special/unique fraternity in what we are fans of. We're all family in a sense connected by the subculture we are part of. We share something special in what we appreciate and like the fact that there are many cool others like us.

I hope many girls and fans make this event their mecca this year. Come out and meet Willie. :)

[Willie Escalade]

Thank you for those kind words!

Juliana, Bob has posted the gallery from the pageant, but they are for members only. Sorry, everyone! A few samples, though...

So only Bob was there to take pictures? Come on, Willie, ante up. You must have more pictures? I want to see Juliana and other girls like her dressed to the nines and having fun. :)

Buddy took some; I don't know if he's posted any yet. Most of the pictures I took didn't come out too well due to my camera.

[Willie Escalade]

A few more...from Bob's site...and these are the last ones I'll post!

[juliana_dominguez]

aye! i love it! super thanks

[Realgirls4me]

Damn, Juliana, you have got some legs -- my favorite female part. :)

Thanks, Willie.

[tsntx]

i see so much of the clothing i sale on trannies all the time and theres always one in the group wearing it the "wrong" way lol

[Realgirls4me]

So, Jen, are you and your camera crew likely to pay the pageant a visit?

[icarus2112]

I was just looking at Celeste's myspace and she has a nice shot of Juliana during the Bikini contest standing next to Amiya, Maybe Celeste will see this and post it, Juliana looks great ;) as do all the girls

Who gives a fuck if the she is wearing it wrong ... no one would have known if you didn't point it out.

[Realgirls4me]

More reminders as to what this is all about ...


Get your butts out here that night. :)

[Realgirls4me]

That young woman has got some legs. Da-yum! :)

[Bob's Tgirls]

There's always plenty of lovely girls at these pageants. Here's a few shots from past years. Of course I'll be there again this year.

[Realgirls4me]

Less than a month from tonight, guys and gals. It's time to start planning your trip out here.

Get away from that farm and get your butts out here!

:)

[nevada64]

What happens when the show is over? Is there a cocktail lounge that everyone goes to on the premises, or does everyone go to a Tgirl friendly coffee shop like the Yukon?
I John Q. Public able to mingle with the ladies, or are we herded out the door?
Thanks.

[Realgirls4me]

Nevada64,

Well, there is a lot of mingling afterwards (lots of plumes and costumes to put in cars) on the premises, and a lot of them would head out to the Yukon after the pageant, but according to Felicia and Willie, it is no longer in business. In fact both Yuni and Kenya (pictured three posts back) were there last year after Yuni's crowning, along with many of the other girls and their friends. The year before that, the victor Yuni was there after her victory with her family and friends if memory serves me.

... I wonder where they will go this year? Willie? Felicia? Bob? I love the all night diner next to the Cobra Club in the Valley, but that's too far from where the pageant is held.

[nevada64]

Isn't Arena a huge bar? That is the location of the event, correct?

The coffee shop in the Valley is called Sitton's, and yes, they do have good food. Much better than the Yukon.

What is happening to all the old haunts? The Queen Mary, Peanuts, The Lodge, and now the coffee shop, the Yukon.

The Circus Disco is a huge venue, with a full bar obviously, but most patrons are not hanging out at the bar during the event. They're watching the show, either the one on stage or the one in the audience. :)

I don't know what is happening to all the former TS haunts. :shrug

[nevada64]

I've been to the Palms in the last few weeks, both on Fri. and Mon. and Im not impressed. The four or five times I was there, there was perhaps a dozen girls at most. Dead! Not at all like the other, now closed, clubs.
What a shame. I wish our scene was more accepted. Look at all the gay bars out there. I wish there were half that many for guys like us and the girls we love.

Wow! I have no idea who else will be sharing the stage with Yasmin at this point, but chances are Yasmin will certainly be the most illustrious woman up there.

I can't wait to attend ... as I feel a cold coming on. :(

[Sunny Dee-lite]

BEST OF LUCK TO YASMIN!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

[Realgirls4me]

So, NYCe, are you going to make it out here this weekend? It would be cool to meet you after all this time.

I hope all of you have a good time.

I'll try to take plenty of pictures. :)

[LAGent4ts]

Learned my lesson last year as I forgot about a Monday morning meeting in the office. Taking Monday off this time. Good luck to all the girls entered.
