Jay hits the bigtime

[mardhi]

In between opening her bar, shopping and getting drunk, Jay has been in discussions with a celebrated international photographer to be featured in one of worlds highest circulation 'lads' magazines. The photographer who's credits include shoots of Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Antonio Banderas and Anthony Hopkins flew in from London and undertook the shoot this week in Bangkok.

According to Jay, the pictures were absolutely amazing and will probably end up with about 6 pictures in various styles (no cock shots though) and are likely to be published sometime in the New Year.

It remains to be seen if the magazine will actually mention that Jay has a tool down below or if they just go ahead, print and see what the reaction is from readers.

Apparently the researcher for the magazine concerned found her pictures on this forum and this picture was one of the one's that sealed it for Jay to be the first ladyboy to have a full shoot in this magazine.

So keep any eye out on the mainstream print media for mens 'lifestyle' magazines and lo and behold you might be seeing Jay sometime soon. Incidentally the shoot may end up in mulitple country editions of the magazine and when it is, we will post details accordingly.

Cheers

Congratulations to Jay, both on her bar and her photoshoot. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting her, but she seems like a great girl and well-deserving of her success. Hope to see her good fortunes continue. Thanks for the update, Mardhi.

Depends how you define girlfriend. I am not seeing anyone other than Jay at the moment as quite simply I think she is one of most switched on gals I have met - I have no idea if she is seeing other guys although I suspect not but have been here long enough to understand all the games. Frankly for me, one is enough and that tends to follow through all my posts. I am happy that she is doing well for herself and was determined to stop working - how long it lasts for is anyones guess and I am sure she has the same cynacism about me - its natural in these kinds of relationships - heck neither of us are angels. Anybody that tells you any different is lying (not about us being angels, but about the LB scene in general).

Oh and no she is not working anywhere other than on getting her new bar ready.

Cheers

The photographer only wanted Jay - that was the remit he was given by the magazine - he has seen pictures of Jane and has met her but if anything that would form part of any follow up shoot should the first set be well received by the readers. This is a big departure for this magazine - they have never done this before and once you find out which magazine it is (and no I cant say yet), you will understand why.

A friend of mine in Malaysia was in one of the major Bridal magazine there. She, of course, looked unbelievable. They did not mention she was LB. It will be interesting to see if they exploit her gender, her beauty, or both.

Well, let's hope so. The new bar could use the publicity and she could probably use the cash!

I dont think Jay has many qualms about how the pictures are going to be used - its not a porno magazine at the end of the day and the financial arrangement is very sound and fair - I was surprised quite how fair the revenue sharing agreement is for the pictures as its all based on how many times the pictures are used and includes revenue for sms downloads of screensavers etc - basically its a full on pro model revenue sharing agreement written under English law. She also has right of veto of any use of the pictures if she so chooses - if she does not want the picture going into a article or magazine she can decline to approve it.

But also dont forget, to Jay, this is a dream come true - getting her picture in which she looks fantastic (and i have seen some of the pictures now) and will be published into print media has huge 'face' for her - not least of all as this magazine has never featured a ladyboy in the magazine before. And of course the publicity for her new bar is a major consideration as was the reason to do nude shoots on this and other sites - this girl is smart and wants to go places but has no issue that she was born as a boy and is totally comfortable with this situation.

Possibly the question might better be questioned as who is exploiting who.

Fuck yeah... I haven't even bought a drink in this place yet and the bitch is ripping me off!

The only people getting exploited in the Thai flesh trade (in the market that is aimed at tourists) are the tourists themselves! As for the domestic market for flesh... well - I've been here living in the boonies for a few years and you would not want to know how Thai fellas treat their bitches and the abuse that working girls suffer at the hands of the locals.

Hey Mardhi,

Your a lucky man - Jay is stunning and I have had the pleasure of talking to her on MSN. She is switched on and seems a really nice person. Can't wait to see the new bar when I next visit Thailand. Hopefully we can catch up for a drink if your in town. The one regret on my first trip was not having a beer with any of the forum members although it is the one place you can go alone and have the time of your life.
