Tranny Boys and Drag Who???: Talita de la Costa.

A clipping from G Magazine Vol. 02, Issue 11 that includes two relevant articles. One is about transmasculine people in San Francisco and London taking hormones and having gender affirming surgery. The other is about Brazilian drag queen Talita de La Costa's journey from Chile to São Paulo working in various clubs and winning several contests like Miss House, Miss Brazil 94 and Miss Universe 96. Translations of the articles are as follows: "Tranny Boys: Do you like the photo? Then be amazed: between the boy's legs lies a huge split. That's right, the mustachioed man in question is a woman. The new wave in San Francisco and London is that girls are turning into men, through hormones and breast removal. But in general they keep their female genitalia and, amazingly, have sex with men. At the end of the year, films such as Dandy Dust and Pansexual Public Porn will be arriving via the MiX Festival Brazil and we'll be able to check out how they get on in the flesh." "Drag Who???: Talita de la Costa. I'm sorry for the ugly ones, but beauty is fundamental...! Looking for new life, the vivacious Talita de La Costa left Chile for the lands of Brazil. Her début was at the long-lost Bug House nightclub six years ago, which launched her towards a starring role in show biz. Parading through various clubs in São Paulo, she established herself at Blue Space as one of the house's most significant stars. The owner of a magnetic smile and a striking personality, she has collected titles such as: Miss House, Miss Brazil 94 and Miss Universe 96. A former make-up artist for TV Bandeirantes, now a translator and interpreter in Spanish and, in the future in English, this goddess oozes talent and proves that beauty and culture are a perfect match to bring rainbow colors to the life of Cancerian Juan Carlos."
