why hasn't this hit the nation by storm yet?

hat and i saw this magazine (wait for it) the other day at what is possibly the most enormous magazine shop in Malaysia. at first i walked past it, it was next to the pre-pubescent section. you know you need to get the fuck away from an area where twenty Mylie Cyrus', fifteen sets of the Jonas Brothers and six Taylor Swifts are eyeballing you, simultaneously, with grins that put the Cheshire cat to shame. in their glossy greatness, set against a spillage of the most hideous tones of fluorescent yellow and pink, they watch you below headlines that promise to reveal their deepest, darkest secrets (favourite colour, favourite food). as i distanced myself from the atrocity, something caught my eye. it was the british royal family, all lined up on a shelf, looking nothing short of delighted. the magazines called Majesty, which according to its website, gives its readers a colourful insight into the privileged lives of the royal families of the world. who the hell buys this shit?

anyway, whilst below this shelf of individual royals was an array of mags on lady di, above it was this mega find:


The Best Selling Lesbian Magazine!!!!

this is a slice of my insensitivity but i just couldn't resist sharing. come on, its kind of funny..especially because homosexuality is basically illegal in this country.

even so, drag kings are no rarity here. they're the underdogs who don't get enough international attention compared to the SEA ladyboys(mad propz to yall at Parkson and Topshop). perhaps because they are far, far less attractive than ladyboys. they're all kind of underheight and overweight, and look like they've been deep fried in lard several times. oh they also lovelovelove cargo trousers. perhaps they think that masculinity is measured by the number of pockets one has. anyway. the point is, as they are multiplying by the second, i think they need to be alerted that they can stop pretending to be interested in motor trader and start subscribing to a magazine that caters specifically to them.
