The all new Tranny Guide will be available in April, (so go on,
get YOUR order in now). I can assure you that you will find a
big difference to any edition you may have seen before. After
achieving the 10th edition milestone, it came to me that after
years presenting advice in my “WayOut of the Closet” section
there are now many readers that are “Wayout of the closet”
with tips of their own to pass on. I asked my email contacts for
pictures and answers to 14 probing questions.
Their answers and pictures create a fascinating
‘Profile’ while also giving a range of answers to the
questions I have always tried to answer in my
book. I was thrilled at the response, receiving such
quality and quantity that I was able to choose 36
very diverse ‘Profiles’ with beautiful pictures including OTV’s, RTV’s,
Transsexuals, Drag queens and even a woman that is mistaken for a drag queen. These
‘Profiles’ offer a glimpse into may different ways of living with the "tranny gene". These ‘Profiles’
bring a really exciting interactive aspect to this annual book.
The 11th book also contains many new and outstanding articles including an explanation of
exactly what has been happening in the fight for Transgender rights and the progress achieved
for UK Transsexuals. Fascinating new ‘Personal Reports’ with hundreds of outstanding pictures
from around the world remind us that the "tranny gene" is spread far and wide. You will find up
to date local listings in these reports and the UK listings have been thoroughly updated introducing many new shops, services and places to go including an ever-growing selection of
events. As I start each new edition I always think I am attempting an impossible task, but once
again my contributors have fed me with material that results in an even better book than ever
before - thanks to you all. I hope you will order a copy and enjoy reading it as much as I have
enjoyed creating this edition.
Celebrating 10 years of The WayOut Club
We find it hard to believe that Steffan and I have presented well over 500, non stop, Saturday
nights of The WayOut Club as we head up to our 10th birthday on 19th April.
And that’s not counting midweek specials at Berkley Square and Steffan’s nights at No3 Green
St. On every occasion we had a different show (well OK almost different). These shows are
instantly lost in memory and time, but luckily we have video
of many them and very soon we will be offering a new
WayOut ‘Home’ Video with a compilation of clips from
the entire 10 years.
You can read the story of how it started, along with
unique behind the scenes stories, with pictures going
all the way back to the first night at
www.wayout-publishing.com (click on wayout club).
[email protected]
Utterly FABULOUS
Every week we are told by visitors from all around
the world that nowhere else is there such a large,
diverse, relaxed club. Now that the Queen Mary in
Los Angeles has closed – I actually believe
them.
Steffan and I rarely miss a Saturday and both
of us still get excited as we get ready to join
regulars and new visitors at WayOut. Sure we
shape it - but it is YOU that make it what it is.
We are ALL very special and we love and
thank you all for over 500 wonderful nights.
I would also like to personally thank all the WayOut Girls (and
boys) that perform, Our DJs, Miss Sarah Lloyd, The bar staff
and management of our venue Charlies. Most of all I want to
thank Steffan for being such an extraordinary inspiration and
a loyal and loving friend who has always been a joy to be
with. I am blessed to have Steffan in my life.
On the 19th April we are hoping to see a record turn out to
celebrate. Steffan has asked many who have performed at
WayOut to give a performance as a birthday present and
Sarah will be dressing the girls in costumes from the vast collection that she has made. This will prove to be an outstanding show that must not be missed.
We hope you can be with us for a FREE champagne celebration after the show on the 19th April when we will make a
toast to the next 10 years.

REVIEW
Twice yearly the London Edge Fashion Trade Fair is held at
Olympia to promote the latest
designs for club, street, gothic and
fetish wear. This is one of the few
fairs that I suspect has knowledge of
our Lavender Pound, and is openly
receptive to the needs of us Tgirls
taking into account sizes and
designs that will work for us.
Here is a review of just a few of the suppliers
and manufacturers that I could recommend,
for some serious, affordable and up to the
minute fashion.
London Edge Fashion Fair –
February 2003
by Andrea
It’s always pleasing to come across a familiar
face at a stand – So it was great to see the
"lads" from W J Brookes – better known to
you all as Divine Shoes. I have longed for a
pair of their Galaxy range "skating" shoes,
which they import from the States. Alas
despite their efforts they have been unsuccessful in getting sizes larger than 8-9.
Nonetheless they have a great range of stilettos, platforms and thigh high boots in our sizes.
For some really exotic pvc fashion The
Stranger stall was a find – with dresses and
skirts with strategic cut outs that worked even
for us - provided you wore high waist line
briefs – as I found out when they let me try
on one of their long length pvc skirts called
the "Mermaid" which had lace panels high up
both sides around my hips. Their other speciality being those chunky platform boots with
rubber spikes etc.
The London Edge is an international affair –
and we came across a very friendly Italian
firm called Modamerica who had brought
along their ‘OUT-X’ range - largely of a silky,
stretchy, almost wet look material but sufficiently thick and robust for us not to show too
many bumps! I found out this was the latest
in Micro Fibre. I was so impressed – I
ordered a short mini skirt with holes formed
with metal hoops there and then!
The current fashion favourite for the coming
season appears to be tartan, camouflage,
and fake fur. At Phaze we found exactly that,
with some very vivid fur outfits in pink and
purple.
There were plenty of corset manufacturers
around – but two that caught my attention
were Josephine La Vey and GLM Body
Works both familiar with the Tranny market
and the needs and expectations of us girls.
The day ended with a real find – that being
clothing by Collectif. This London manufacturer (who also has a store in Camden) had a
wonderful range of skirts, tops and dresses
that would fit many a girl. Once again I was
drawn to the shortest skirts in vivid colours of
corduroy and tartan. The shortest being
about 9" was too tempting to resist – so I
asked if I could try on and buy there and
then! They happily obliged.
After three hours and three floors of the Fair I
was starting to feel the effect of wearing my
6" stiletto courts I collected my press packs
and headed off for a well-earned coffee!
(Many thanks to Don Allen Photographic for
taking the photos, and the organisers of
London Edge for issuing our Press Passes.)

Sisters under the Skin
“Beautiful minds make
Beautiful pictures”
‘Occasional’ or ‘Full Time’ we are all ‘sisters’ under
the skin and if we have beautiful minds we can
make beautiful pictures.
Occasional TV (right)
Jennifer is an “occasional” TV who does not have the
need or the opportunity to ‘dress’ regularly but enjoys
the overdose of a quality tranny session three or
four times a year. Just like a relaxing weekend at
a spa. Jennifer enjoys the pampering, relaxation
and preparation that leads up to a photoshoot
with a professional photographer and stylist.
To finish her “Spa” weekend she likes to
renew aqaintances with like minded others
at an event, restaurant or regular club.
Fulltime ‘Girl’ (opposite)
Priscilla is a student who without any
effort was often mistaken for a girl. It
only took a little styling (and a breast
enhancement operation) to ensure
she was always thought of as a girl.
As a ‘girl’ Priscilla feels more complete and at ease. In her regular
clothes at college she is a beautiful
student. However Priscilla also
enjoys dancing, performing and
taking her image to the most glamourous extremes in front of the
camera and audience. Priscilla is a
‘girl’ that is always a joy to be with.

TRANCHESTER
My boyfriend David and
I have just booked our
spring holiday - a 17day drive around
Europe centred on
Vienna and Prague in
May and June. It will be
our fourth trip abroad
together, and despite
my initial trepidation, I
have never yet encountered the slightest
problem or had a single negative comment
cast in my direction.
PASSPORT TO
HAPPINESS By Donna
Although people tell me I am quite convincing (blush blush), I am not vain enough to
delude myself that no one susses me out as
being TG. But either nobody gives a damn,
or they are too wound up in their own business to notice this particular ‘woman with a
difference’.
The only point where they definitely
DO know is at passport control,
since my passport remains in my
male name and contains a picture
of what looks like a shaven-headed
thug.
I still remember so vividly my first
experience of travelling abroad my trip with David to Amsterdam
just before Christmas 2001. The
young man sitting at the Easyjet
check-in desk in Liverpool took my
passport, looked at the page bearing my photo, and handed it back
to me.
‘‘Sorry madam, I need YOUR passport,’’ he said. ‘’Uhhh, but this IS
my passport,’’ I replied, handing it
back to him and casting a nervous
glance at David, who had already
checked his luggage through.
The young man looked up at the
neatly made-up woman in the
check jacket, polo neck and black
skirt, then down at the undesirable
yob on the passport photo. Finally, it dawned
on him. ‘‘Oh, umm, do you mind if I just
check with a colleague?’’
As if I wasn’t nervous enough after having to
doll myself up to check in at Liverpool Airport
at 8am. Now I had visions of a policeman
frog-marching me away, watched by several
hundred other, until-now, blissfully ignorant
travellers, shouting: ‘‘Now come along with
me please, SIR!’’
In the event, a young lady came over, had
my passport thrust into her hand,
looked at it, smiled at me and said
to Master Nervous: ‘‘That’s fine, no
problem.’’
These days I make a habit of
inserting one of my visiting cards
inside my passport, complete with
my female picture. This year I have
an additional ‘weapon’ - namely a
legitimisation letter from Dr Russell
Reid.
LAST LINE - Rumour has it someone is thinking of opening a clandestine northern version of the
WayOut Club. It’s going to be
called the ... ‘Say Owt Club’.

REVIEW - The Thai Princess By Jodie Lynn
The Philbeach Hotel in London’s Earls Court recently relaunched their restaurant
as The Thai Princess. Some may remember that 14 years ago the restaurant
served Thai before a change to French. Now Sammy and Jade, meet and greet
their clientele Monday to Saturday serving traditional Thai food once again.
The Wayout Club’s Miss Sarah Lloyd and I set out to sample this NEW
Thai experience for Utterly FABULOUS. We decided to go on a Monday
night, as this is "Lipstick", the hotel’s special tranny night where many
TG girls socialise in the basement bar. Upon arriving we found that the
restaurant was heaving with people and it was very buzzy and lively.
Sammy, a beautiful Thai transsexual, gave us a basket of spicy crackers to nibble on and a menu to read.
Once seated we were presented with the wine menu, by Jade, also a gorgeous Thai
transsexual who gave us excellent advice on their extensive wine and drinks list
including specially imported Thai beers. Prices ranged from £10 for still wines and £25
for sparkling. Unfortunately, I was driving and the lovely Miss Lloyd is a non-drinker (silly girl!!),
but others in the restaurant assured us that the quality of wine is always excellent at the Thai
Princess.
The food menu is amazingly varied to say the least and NOTHING was ‘off’ the menu, which is
always an excellent sign. I decided to start with the "Poa Pia" Thai baby spring rolls on a bed of
lettuce served with a sweet plum dip. Miss Lloyd decided to go for the "Tom Yam" – Thai spicy
soup served with either prawn, chicken or vegetables. Sarah chose the prawn variety. Jade told
us that the most popular starter dish was her very own recipe of spicy sausages, aptly named
"One night in Chang Mai" (as this is where she is from). These are quite a dry type of sausage,
which comes with a sweet chilli dip and a bed of lettuce. The other favourite is the "Wing of
Love" – Chicken wings with glass noodles and chestnuts. Starters range from £3 to £6.
Within minutes, our starter was served onto hot plates (another good
sign) and the presentation was immaculate. I noticed that every drink
and every dish is served with a beautiful pink, edible orchid, Sarah
ate her orchid and said it tasted like sweet cabbage with a very fresh
taste. My baby spring rolls were lovely, and the sweet plum dip was
to die for. The lettuce was very crisp and fresh too. Sarah said that
her soup was very tasty. The size of the portions was just enough to
leave you wanting more without filling you up too much.
Maybe 10 minutes passed and our main course dishes were gracefully delivered to our table. We opted for "Phad Ka – Holy Basil", aromatic stir-fried fresh chillies, garlic, green beans, onions and holy
basil leaves. You can have this dish with chicken, pork, beef or lamb
or with prawns or duck. We opted for pork.
We also chose the "Phad Priew Wahn" – Thai style sweet and sour.
Pineapple, cucumber, fresh tomato and onion served either with
prawns with chicken. We chose the chicken. We also decided on the
"Khoa Phad Kai" – Simple stir-fried rice and eggs with special soya
sauce. The stir-fried pork with chillies was VERY spicy but very tasty.
The presentation was again excellent and everything arrives with an
orchid placed somewhere on it. The sweet and sour chicken was
amazing. The presence of peppers and pineapple etc was just right
and the sauce was thick and incredibly delicious. The rice was light
and fluffy and not too much egg mixed with it.
Jade explained that she had her own restaurant in Chang Mai - Thailand, and had also worked
for many years in a famous Thai restaurant in London. The sheer variety of dishes in this very
impressive menu is down to her adoption of various recipes and styles. "Ped Sawarn" –
Paradise Duck, Jade told us was one such recipe that she had brought to the Thai Princess.
The dish consists of stewed duck breast with seven herbs combined with pineapple on top with
a special honey and Tamarind sauce. Main dishes range from £4 to £8.
Desserts are just as gorgeous as the rest of the extensive menu. The "Mother of Pearl" –
Quick deep-fried ice cream wrapped with pancake and coated in coconut flakes on fire with
Sumbuca liqueur was to die for. The "Slow boat to Chang Mai"- Chunks of banana poached in
sweet coconut milk and pondanus leaves looked very tempting and was clearly a dish close to
Jade’s heart, but we had to leave that dish for another visit as we were so full. Desserts range
from £3 to £5. Simple dishes such as vanilla ice cream or mango sorbet are also available.
Miss Sarah Lloyd and I enjoyed our evening at the Thai
Princess immensely. The atmosphere was lively and
interesting with a great mix of TV, TS, gay and straight
(there was even a family having a birthday party). The
food was faultless, immaculately presented and served
piping hot. The size of the portions are generous, the
hostesses were wonderful and the prices very attractive.
We would strongly recommend a visit on either a
Mondays or Friday, (their busiest nights) so try to book
on one of these nights for that bit of extra atmosphere.

In the heart of Soho is an Aladdin’s cave, which goes by
the name of ‘Mini Diamond’. It's a family run business
that has supplied the film industry, theatre and trade for
over thirty years and are happy to sell to the public on
the condition that it is not too small an order, around
£30 and upwards should be fine. This may seem a lot to
some but bare in mind that the items you buy direct will
retail for a lot more in other stores. They are famous for,
and specialise in, diamante jewellery. And will make
pieces to order if you have something special in mind.
They have recently supplied all the jewellery for the hit
show 'Bombay Dreams'. And their celebrity clients
include models Lelani and Kate Moss. So take yourself
to Mini Diamond and add a little sparkle to your life!

FILM PROJECT
Just thought I'd drop you all a line to let you
know how things are going with the film.
First off, I'd like to
thank each and
every one of you
for your kindness,
encouragement
and support over
the past several
months.
You have kept me
going through
what have been
possibly the
toughest times I
have had to face
in my professional career.

LIPSTICK POWDER & PAINT
UPDATE
By Jay Wheddon
Over the past year, the production has faced
near-collapse on three separate occasions
due to problems with finance. At one point we
found out that some of our funding was being
supplied by a foreign crime consortium looking for a convenient laundering outlet!! I could
write a new script based on that story alone!
And then we've had to deal with all sorts of
casting and crew problems: availability, costs,
that sort of thing. And then there was the
near-collapse of the British film industry itself
thanks to the chancellor changing the tax and
investment laws. This calamity saw the
demise of such rock-steady institutions like
‘Film Four’, ‘Winchester Films’ ... Believe me,
the list is endless.
But "Lippy" survived and now we're back!
And we've finally got our finance deals in
place. A top cast that includes three Oscar
winners, all signed up! And watch this space
for news about our very special leading lady!
(Can’t fill you in yet ‘cos the final contracts
are still being sorted out by the lawyers).
The plan is that we start filming this summer
and, as some of you know, that's a year later
than we had originally planned. But we've put
that extra year to good use. We've got better
sets, a better script (if I do say so myself)
and, most important of all, more money!
Those of you who applied to be extras last
year, rest assured that we still have your
details and will be contacting you in due
course. Those of you that would like to be
considered as extras in the WayOut Club
scene which will be filmed on a special set in
Pinewood Studios please email a picture and
your contact details to Vicky Lee and she will
pass them to me.
On a personal note I'd like to thank Vicky,
Steffan and Pandora for all their patience,
help and support over the past year. And to
all of you, thank you. I hope the end product
is worthy of your faith. All my love to you all.
Jay
Thank you all for your support and
for making 10 years SO enjoyable
All our love

OUR Utterly FABULOUS STEFFAN REPORTS ON THE NEW
The world renowned Pandora De'Pledge,
owner of "Image Works" has a few close
friends around for a candlelit supper and
moonlight dip in the jacuzzi at her beautiful London home.
So much has happened in the first eighteen
months since ‘Pandora De'Pledge’s Image
Works’ started.
It's hard to believe that the business has
trebled in size with a continually growing
international clientele, media appearances,
plus up and coming feature film and television projects. It's rewarding to see that hard
work and conviction do pay off.
Pandora herself has an excellent background for her business. She has over 20
years experience as a professional makeup artist and stylist, and was a model, and
showgirl at the world famous "Madame Jo
Jo's", at it's peak in the 80's. She has also
made several film and television appearances
Pan also enjoys doing Charity work such as
"Transfandango" which she is sponsoring
for the second time this year.
Pandora and I have been dear friends for
over sixteen years, her talent and charm
are beyond compare. I trust very few people with my appearance, but I feel totally
relaxed in the hands of Miss De'Pledge.
She has made ‘Image Works’ a “paradise
for trannies" with world class make-overs, a
fabulous dressing service packed with gorgeous outfits, stunning jewellery, and wigs
in many different styles. Her friendly professional and attentive staff ensure your visit is
enjoyed to the max. Their professional photoshoots are unmatched by anyone in this
business. And there is much, much more.
The new garden is now open to customers,
complete with summer house, solarium and
16
huge jacuzzi, (which I can personally vouch
is very pleasant). Why not take a look at
their stunning website for a glimpse of more
pictures.
We had a wonderful evening with lots of
bubbly, delicious food and good friends. I
wish the best for the future.

Sci-Fi-Fest “Drag Jim but NOT as we know it”
ou might think there could hardly be
two more different outlooks than
those of gay men and drag queens,
and the butch world of the London Fire
Brigade and Metropolitan Police.
Y
Therefore you might be surprised to know
that the London Fire Brigade and
Metropolitan Police have some of the best
equal opportunity policies in the public
domain – and now they’ve shown just how
much they believe in reaching all sections of
the community with a sponsorship deal with
Gay UK TV.
‘Out Of The Closet’ is a new series for
Sky TV. Fun, chatty, informative and
entertaining, the show offers wider
society a glimpse into the sometimes
humourous, sometimes serious world
of lesbians and gay men.
One of the presenters of the show is
my good friend (you’ve seen her at
The WayOut Club and in this column) Miss Steffany Starlight. She
Interviews a range of people from
Human
Rights
Campaigner
Peter Tatchell to
Erasure’s Andy
Bell.
The show ran in
February and is
repeated on
Sundays at
10pm on Sky
Digital Channel
687. It will be
repeated and
recycled in the
future and a new
series is
planned.

Where do
you like to
perform?
My favourite
place to perform, (apart
from of course The WayOut Club Club ), is anywhere that has
an "up for it crowd" that makes a lot of noise! And where you
get paid on the night (giggle). I loved doing the clubs and
hotels in Ibiza and also enjoyed working on a cruise ship.
Filming the opening credits for "Tarrent on TV" was a laugh
but took a surprisingly long time for such a small amount
of film that was used.
What are your
least favourite
places to perform?
Dead zones! Clubs with bad music,
no lights and a dressing room that looks
all too much like the ladies loo’s.
Where do you get your inspiration?
Miss kitten looks pensive at this question "hmmmmm", you
know how in Chicago, Roxy Heart comes up with a song and
dance routine for almost every little thing that happens in her
life? Well that’s me! Everything inspires me! And I’m off in my
dream world of how I would do it. As I hear music my mind
just tells my body how to use the rhythms that are in it, then
after I have the choreography planned and sorted I think
about what costumes would best show it all off and bring it
all together. Television and films are great too. I have a
great idea for an amazing show but it would have to be
staged in its own drag venue. I am looking for an investor
or waiting to win the lottery as it ain’t gonna be cheap!!
(Miss Kitten laughs).
You are so tiny how do you keep
your amazing figure?
Just cursed with it I guess! (shrugs shoulders). No not
really, I work really hard at it, being a fitness instructor I teach anything from 15 to 20 plus hours a week
of fitness classes!
Where do you teach
and what techniques?
I teach all over the south east of England, mostly
in Kent but I have recently been asked to present
at a fitness weekend in Somerset to over 300 fitness instructors and fitness enthusiasts, funnily
its called "Fitmouse" (giggle). I have also been
asked to teach on a course, for people who wish to
become fitness instructors. I specialise in BTS (Body Training Systems) which I currently teach.
Also BODYPUMP which is a toning system done to cool trax, using a weight bar, (this gives
me my muscle definition), and BODYCOMBAT which is a system based on fighting techniques,
marshal arts, set to some cool and fast music with kick and punch sounds put in! (This keeps
me really fit! and helped me to win the ‘Drag Olympics’ for the past 2 years!).
I am one of just 25 instructors in the South East to learn BODYJAM, which is a dance, based
class and is awesome. I would like to become a trainer in this technique and teach it to other
instructors. I also teach high impact aerobics just like normal aerobics only faster and harder. I
start at 136 beats per minute and go up to 155 bpm a bit faster than the music at the WayOut
club! (giggle).You can find out more soon on my new web site, which is under construction at
the moment www.bodyjam.co.uk.
You work with backing dancers, who are they
and how did you all get together?
My two regular dancers are Little Mizz Lady otherwise known as my panel beating baby sister,
(I often ask my mother what went wrong - I’m a drag queen and my sister mends and bashes
cars, she just tells me "none such queer as folk!"). And Miss Lucy. 8 years ago when I was still
at school I started a dance company with a friend, (which is still running I might add). We
trained and choreographed over 50 dancers and were affiliated to South East arts and represented the UK in an international dance festival. Miss Lucy was one of the original dancers in
that company. She is currently studying for a degree in dance and she was the rehearsal director for a production of ‘Chorus Line’ last year, which I was also involved in.

Muse @ House of Drag 1st Wednesday of every month
Congratulations to everyone involved in a very successful, fun filled,
launch of our new evening. The ambience was transformed to a swish
piano bar with Cabaret by Dee and Penny and a very exciting group
of lovelies "The Mussetes", to wait on you and make you feel at home
and have a great night. I look forward to being joined on the 1st
Wednesday of EVERY month by the lovely Dee Chanel and her team
headed by the fabulous Miss Penny Richards. We will offer a small
snack food menu soon and stage some more elaborate “Muse” shows
in the future.
The Miss Tranny Grange Talent competition
Silicone Dolls was proud to be joined by the amazing Miss Debbie
and Nicki to host their Miss Tranny Grange talent contest on Friday
28th March. Six entrants brought along a CD and performed a three
minute number and answered some pageant questions.
Embarrassingly, (but certainly NO fix), the audience chose Miss Nicki
herself to win the coveted tiara and sash plus a bottle of champagne.
Runners up received prizes too and a great night was had by all.

Mama Yvette - Fat Boy Slim’s Secret Lover
Mama Yvette recently appeared all over the
tabloid press as D.J. Fat Boy Slim’s alleged
secret lover and emotional shoulder to cry on
during his split from his wife Zoe Ball. I phoned
Yvette here’s what she told me "Truth is that we are just
good friends who met while
in Brighton when we were
both working at Paul Kemps
club ‘Wild Fruit’... We
became close but I was
only an innocent onlicker!"
She HAS however recently moved home to
Brighton where (by coincidence) Fat Boy Slim
lives! Yvette can be found entertaining the straight
boys at ‘The Honey Club’ on Brighton’s seafront
most Saturday nights. This DOES mean she no
longer has to hunt down trade under Brighton pier
late at night ... Which should save a fortune on
tights and knee pads. We wish her lots of fun living
in Brighton and will visit soon.
Most of them have been for
‘after show’ parties during
the recent London Fashion week - so of
course I went to them all. An ideal opportunity to indulge in two of my favourite things
beautiful clothes and free drinks (oh
please!!!, I’m not cheap, just practical).
There was a time or two that I felt a little bit
out of my league with all those stars and
starlets floating about. It wasn’t until a visit
to the bathroom at the Julian McDonald
party that I realised everyone hanging out
and partying is basically human after which
I felt totally at ease. It was while reapplying
my lipstick that I heard a god awful Fart
from the nearest cubicle, quickly followed
by an exited ‘Pink’ with a huge grin on her
face. The only thing she said to me was,
“Like my shit don’t stink either!”
As well as all the fashion parties, there
have been a few opening nights of new
clubs. My top of the lot has been ‘Drama’,
very fashion, very fun and very mixed and
the re-launch of ‘Pushca’ a chance to revisit
the halcyon days of my youth.
Christ!!!! I’ve just realised, I think I was at
the original WayOut club when it was in
Goodge Street. Oh by the way girls ...
Happy 10th Birthday!
Is it just me or is ’Drag’ everywhere now, if
it’s not on the ‘Salon’ we’ve got Ronan
Keating in the new Heineken ad to name
but a few, about bloody time. Our day has
come ladies!!!!.
Heard the most beautiful, but strange thing
at one of my parties, according to some
“people of transgender” are in fact the
essence of stranded earthbound angels,
my only quip with that one is, WHERE’S
MY WINGS? till the next time, take care ...
Laters,
Darcy
e all enjoyed working with little
Kelly Osbourne at Jeremy’s
G.A.Y in London. Especially
Rossita who appeared all over the

WayOut CLUB
All the answers to your most
frequently asked questions
about the WayOut Club ...
Q - HOW MUCH IS ENTRY ? 9pm -- 11pm Entry £5 trannies (£8 standard entry) 11pm - 4am Entry £5 tranny members - £8.00 other members £10.00 standard entry for non members
Q - DO I HAVE TO BE A MEMBER ? No, WayOut is open to anyone.
Membership IS available as a discount scheme for regulars at £25 for
12 months from our reception with instant discount on entry fee
Q - IS THE CLUB ONLY FOR TRANNIES? No there are as many
men and women as there are all types of transgendered people. Every
one describes it as relaxed and friendly.
Q - IS THERE A DRESS CODE ? No never. You can wear whatever
you like and you will always feel comfortable and in good company.
However the girls have far more respect for a guy who makes an effort
Q - IS IT EASY TO PARK ? Very Easy - There is ample free parking
available on single yellow lines and parking bays very close to the
club. Parking on double yellows, or with your wheels on the pavement
or in a designated parking space may still result in a fine, even very
late. This is a very safe and discreet area on Saturday nights. We are
supported by the City Police for your safety.
Q - WHAT WILL TAXI DRIVERS THINK IF I DRESS ? London black
cab drivers are the best in the world and have seen everything. It is
very unusual to find a driver that does not treat trannies with respect.
We also recommend two private companies :
Express Cars ...020 7403 3333
Freedom Cabs ..020 7734 1313
Q - CAN I GET A TAXI EASILY WHEN I LEAVE ? Yes we have a
licensed dispatcher in our reception who will normally have a car for
you immediately. Please don’t use the unlicenced taxi touts.
Q - WHERE CAN I STAY?
The favourite hotel where you can dress as you like
The friendliest hotel for trannies is The Philbeach Hotel, Philbeach
Gardens Earls Court 020 7373 1244 (you are almost guaranteed to be
among other trannies at the hotel) - enjoy breakfast en femme. Local
taxi service to WayOut approx £20
The following hotels are ALL regularly used by visitors to The WayOut

breakfast!
