You are now part of a group called <strong>Melbourne</strong> Thai Tiffany. Please<br />
tell me about the group and what sort of work you have been do<strong>in</strong>g<br />
around <strong>Melbourne</strong> and beyond.<br />
<strong>Melbourne</strong> Thai Tiffany is the first ever Thai transvestite cabaret show <strong>in</strong><br />
Australia. When I started I really had a vision that I want to br<strong>in</strong>g the next<br />
generation - the new evolution <strong>in</strong> Drag performance - and try to step away<br />
from the stereo-typical drag show style to be able to deliver someth<strong>in</strong>g<br />
different such as Fashion run-way shows and modell<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Production numbers that we do are very complicated because of the various<br />
cultural styles that we do (Thai, Korean, Ch<strong>in</strong>ese, Laos, Vietnamese and<br />
English).<br />
Our latest show is called “One night <strong>in</strong> Bangkok”. This show is a purely<br />
elegant cabaret show performed by beautiful Thai transvestites <strong>in</strong> traditional<br />
Thai costumes that have amazed our audiences across <strong>Melbourne</strong>, Victoria,<br />
and Brisbane.<br />
Is there anyth<strong>in</strong>g else you would like to share with the Q Magaz<strong>in</strong>e<br />
readers?<br />
We try to br<strong>in</strong>g diversity of drag shows to the greater community so I hope<br />
that the Australian gay community will support us go<strong>in</strong>g forward.<br />
q <strong>in</strong>ternet: TALKING POOFY<br />

F<strong>in</strong>gers…)<br />

as the footy be<strong>in</strong>g on <strong>in</strong>stead of Glee, but sometimes they have a po<strong>in</strong>t worth mak<strong>in</strong>g).<br />
The Carrie Bickmore Experience, where Talk<strong>in</strong>g Poofy dig down <strong>in</strong>to an issue. They very rarely get to the bottom of the issue, but<br />
they do spend a lot of time admir<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
surface.<br />
