eerie sense of transformation like he had never felt before. it
was almost as if he was watching from afar while his male self
disappeared and was replaced by a lovely feminine figure. What
surprised him was how easy it was to say a mental good-bye to the
uncomfortable figure of his male ego. He turned to try and thank
his newly found sister, but she turned him face forward and began
painting his fingernails with a brand new polish the same shade
as his lips. After she finished with his nails and he sat
waving his fingers in the air, she began teasing his hair. She
took a can of hair-spray and began alternately teasing and
spraying his normally medium length hair into a delicate pouf
surrounded by curls. He had never imagined that his own hair
could look like this. It was almost like magic.
Next it was her turn to re-apply her make-up, but when she
turned to look for her purse they both realized that it had been
left in the hall after the struggle. When she opened the door to
look for it, it was no longer there.
“It doesn’t matter,” she said quickly. “I never carry much
of value in my purse anyway. I just wanted to re-apply my own
make-up… ”
“But since we are like sisters, I would be honored if you
would share mine,” he said generously. She accepted his offer
gratefully and soon their lips were dyed in an identical shade of
red. Now it was his turn to apply the nail polish for his
sister, and he did so as carefully as he could, trying not to mar
a single perfect nail. Sharing the same cosmetics made them feel
even closer, though he would never have guessed at the time how
close they were soon to become.
At last they were ready to go out on the town and sample the
pleasures of Singapore by night and particularly this place they
called Bugis Street. When he had asked her what was so special
about Bugis St., she looked surprised at his ignorance and said
that it was the transvestite center of the Asian world. Girls or
pseudo-girls from all over the region came to explore their
femininity on Bugis Street she explained. And men with a taste
for the exotic came to explore this newly developing femininity.
