Wigs are also inexpensive. Vicki wanted a long blonde stretch wig and finally found one with 18 inch human hair at $34.00 U.S. which needless to say she bought. There must be a hundred wig shops with a wide choice in colors and styles, human hair and synthetic. Duty on these is only 91⁄2 %.

While in Singapore a British friend took us to an unbelievable place called Bogie Street where you sit and drink at tables out on the street. It is located in the poor part of Singapore and the female im- personators are the main attraction. They wander around soliciting business as prostitutes and begin to appear around midnight. We counted around fifteen different ones before the night was over; Europeans, Malays and Occidentals. All were beautifully dressed and made up all very sexy. Vicki invited one to the table for a drink. Dressed in a slack suit with an outstanding job of eye makeup, she was a Thai and new in the area. She really was quite nice and refused our offer of a couple of dollars for her time. Her services (?) were priced at $8.00 U.S. Also available were "blue" movies, strip shows, stolen watches and the more common variety of prostitute. The evening ceased with a pending police raid. On some sort of a signal the girls all disappeared suddenly and dispersed into the surround- ing streets. We left before the police arrived. It was most interesting but one should be cautious about going there using the safety in numbers protection and dress modestly. However, Vicki's wife who was with us experienced no unpleasantness.

On our way home we stopped in Honolulu to rest up overnight. We found an impersonator show in the Waikiki area. We did not get the name of the place but it is located in the same block as the Merry Monarch. The show was fair but the acts were pantomine to records. One strip act was excellent. We then were tipped off to a show at a night spot called the Glades on Hotel Street in downtown Honolulu. It is located in a rough area but inside it was quite nice. The stage was fixed up in a two tier style somewhat like a small

Follies Bergere. There were eight girls in the acts and all were really very good. One singer could make her way in New York City, she was so very good. Again Vicki invited a beautiful blonde to the table. She turned out to be very nice and friendly after she found out about Vicki. We found that she had met Virginia at a party in Los Angeles. She was unusual in that she had had breast implants indeed beautiful. Vicki was invited (somewhat to her to heft one breast to see how heavy the implant was Please note that Vicki's wife was also there.
