Lesbian Girl Needs Boyfriend - Get £40m !

Men queue up for £40m job to 'convert lesbian' as she laughs at father's offer to any man who could turn her straight

    Property magnate Cecil Chao Sze-tsung offered the huge bounty to the man who can sweep his daughter of her feet - even though she is married to her long-term girlfriend
    Offers have already begun to flood in from across the world including from from war veterans and and gay men


Dismissed nuptials: Lesbian Gigi Chao, has laughed off her father Cecil Chao's efforts, to find her a husband after he offered £40million to any man who could convince into a heterosexual marriage
Spat: Cecil Chao, is said to have been upset when his daughter Gigi, announced at an event in Beijing that she had tied the knot with her long-term lover, Sean Eav, five months ago




Couple: Gigi Chao, right,and her girlfriend of seven years Sean Eav, had a church blessing in France

The lesbian daughter of a billionaire playboy has laughed off her father's 'marriage bounty' of nearly £40 million to any man who can turn his daughter straight.

One of Hong Kong's richest men, Cecil Chao Sze-tsung, made the offer after his daughter Gigi married her girlfriend of seven years Seab Eav in France.

And surprise, surprise, the offers have already started arriving thick and fast from men all over the globe.

Refusing to accept the gay union, the property and shipping tycoon pledged the fortune to any potential male suitor able to walk Gigi down the aisle at a traditional wedding.

But his daughter, a 33-year-old University of Manchester graduate said she thought the HKD500 million Hong Kong dollar offer - the equivalent of £39.8 million - was 'quite entertaining'.

‘War veterans from the US, someone from Ethiopia, from Istanbul, South America, Portugal, really just from all over the world,’ she said.

One American suitor wrote: ‘I’m interested in the offer. I am a male person, who also happens to be gay.’


Another put up his brother, a  body double to George Clooney  in the 2008 film Leatherheads, as a potential mate.

The hopefuls, however, seem to be wasting their time.

Miss Chao insists she will not be ditching her partner – no matter the quality of man her father’s millions can buy.

Hong Kong billionaire Mr Chao, 76 – who claims to have slept with 10,000 women – has refused to accept his daughter’s sexuality, hence his  ‘marriage bounty’.

‘My father has an interesting interpretation of me,’ said Mrs Chao, a Manchester University graduate.

‘Homosexuality is still an uncomfortable issue for many people.’

She refused to confirm reports of her nuptials on April 4, stating: 'I'm not afraid to admit anything. But I do want to respect my parents.

'Let time be the witness.'

‘I don’t mind whether he is rich or poor – the important thing is that he is generous and kind-hearted,’ he said of the ideal husband for his daughter.

‘Gigi is a very good woman with both talents and looks. She is devoted to her parents, is generous and does volunteer work,’ he told the South China Morning Post.

Same-sex marriages are not recognised in Hong Kong.

According to reports, the spat between Mr Chao and his daughter erupted last week when she announced at an event in Beijing that she tied the knot with her long-term lover, Sean Eav, five months ago.

A regular on the city’s social circuit and in celebrity magazines, Mr Chao has never been married. Gigi is the oldest of his three children with three mothers.

In addition to the dowry, he has also offered to start his potential son-in-law up in his own business.

He said the prize money was ‘an inducement to attract someone who has the talent, but not the capital, to start his own business’.

Miss Chao graduated from university in 1999 with a degree in architecture. She went on to work for two years with prominent British architect Sir Terry Farrell.

How To Teach Your Kids About Oral Sex ? Warning !

Fr-ooze Pop



So, for the second time we have to ask if the people designing products for children are just amazingly naive, or if they're a bunch of giggling stoners seeing what they can get past the marketing team. The Fr-ooze Pop is shaped like a dildo. Fine, you can say that about a lot of food. But if you lick the Fr-ooze Pop enough, a gooey substance squirts into your mouth.

The Fr-ooze Pop was marketed to kids in Singapore using a voice that repeatedly says, "lick it, suck it." Maybe they're just not as cynical as we are over there? And, uh, maybe over there penises work differently?

If so, then what's our excuse for...

The World's First Driving School for Homosexuals

Instructor opens first driving school for homosexuals after hearing about offensive jokes by other tutors

    Learners complained about having to lie to previous instructors
    Transgender learners faced questions on their gender from other instructors
    Discreet car used with no markings to advertise LGBT friendly service


Karis Smith, who works as a driving instructor for the AA, runs 'The Gay Driving School', aimed at making the experience of learning to drive easier for the LGBT community


A lesbian businesswoman is helping homosexual learner drivers dodge old-school driving instructors by opening Britain's first ‘gay driving school.’

Karis Smith, 27, started Gay Driving School Manchester after friends complained about jokes being made by instructors about their sexuality when having lessons.

She said stories of instructors referring to pupils as ‘faggots’ or grilling transgender youngsters on whether they are a boy or a girl had left her horrified.

And she said some gay leaner drivers pretended to be heterosexual because they felt uncomfortable revealing their homosexuality to a stranger.

Now Miss Smith's solo business is creating a stir amongst Manchester's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community with her promise to make pupils feel ‘comfortable’ over their sexuality when behind the wheel of her Ford Focus.

On her website Miss Smith says: ‘Gay? Lesbian? Bisexual? TG/TS/TV? Looking for driving lessons with a friendly driving instructor in a comfortable learning environment? Then look no further! I am a young, female, gay driving instructor.

‘Learning to drive can be a daunting experience enough, without worrying about getting on with your instructor.

‘You will learn much better if you are relaxed, comfortable and most importantly yourself! I am fully committed to teaching you to be a safe, conscientious driver whilst achieving that all important pink driving license!’

Today Miss Smith, from Fallowfield, Manchester said: ‘The response I've had so far has been very positive.

‘I have heard a lot of horror stories about people's experiences with driving instructors, where they have had to explain their sexuality.

‘There have even been stories about transgender learners who have had to put up with jokes about their gender or questions about their looks.

‘As a pupil you'll spend 40 to 50 hours learning to drive in very close proximity to a total stranger.

‘Part of feeling at ease during your lessons is building a good rapport with your instructor - this is much easier when you can just be yourself.

‘A lot of gay people told me that they had strange experiences and it quickly became apparent that many of them said they'd never felt that comfortable with their instructors.

‘I've had a pupil come to me halfway through her training as her previous instructor shared many of his far-right political beliefs and extreme views on race, immigration and sexuality during conversations in the lessons that made her very uncomfortable.

‘I don't think we should live in a world where all LGBT people should only use services from other LGBT providers - but I do think it's important for people to have that option should they wish.

‘With this venture there is no need to explain yourself and its a lot more relaxed. You won't be met with a barrage of questions about your personal life.

‘I think the people who have appreciated it the most are those who are transgender. Getting behind the wheel for the first time is daunting enough without having to worry about how a driving instructor will treat you.’

The driving school, which is gay friendly and not gay only, is set up as an AA franchise and Karis said the fact that the Ford Focus car she uses looks discreet is a positive factor for pupils.

The former Manchester University student said all of her pupils, more than 50 so far, have passed their driving tests in three attempts or less.

Some of the complaints made to Karis were issues such as constantly having to use ‘non-gender’ pronouns when chatting with their instructor, mentioning their 'partner' rather than girlfriend or boyfriend.

Another complaint was having to lie about what they did for a living rather than admitting they worked in a bar in Manchester's Canal Street gay district.

Sarah McNally, from the Lesbian and Gay Foundation Manchester, said: ‘Unfortunately some people still face discrimination and homophobia in society today, so you should be able to feel more comfortable accessing LGBT specific spaces or services.’

A Sexy Model Without Breasts

Andrej Pejic in Elle: fashion's love affair with a boy who looks like a girl






Does the success of a man as a womenswear model mean that the fashion industry is finally embracing difference?

Could it be that the fashion industry is becoming more diverse? Last week saw androgynous womenswear model Andrej Pejic grace the cover of a mainstream fashion magazine for the first time.

Pejic, according to the Serbian edition of Elle, is the ‘boy who shook the fashion world’ – a young man who, when dressed head to toe in John Paul Gaultier and strutting down a catwalk, or posing poutily from the glossy pages of a magazine, happens to look like an extraordinarily pretty girl. Indeed, Pejic embodies all the qualities model scouts look for – litheness, height, and something unique and extraordinary. In this case, it's long blonde hair, cut-glass cheekbones and come-to-bed eyes.

Yet Pejic is also clearly a man. No attempts are made to conceal his wide jaw and his Adam’s apple as he poses in women’s clothing, tiptoeing along the gender binary and flirting with either side. In an industry as homogenised as fashion, he has been seen as a breath of fresh air.

But others have questioned whether his success represents the scourge of female body fascism brought to its logical conclusion. Has fashion’s seeming rejection of female tits and arse meant that the only body now able to fit into the sample sizes isn’t a woman’s at all, but that of a (much less inconveniently lumpy) man? The problem with this line of argument, however, is that the correlation of mounds of doughy flesh with femininity is problematic, as we all know. Not all women have ‘curves’, after all.

Meanwhile, there are those who have argued that fashion’s preoccupation with the ‘un-feminine’ body shape is down to its being dominated by gay men who apparently want all women to look like little boys, a theory that has more than a whiff of homophobia about it and fatally ignores the huge participation of women within the industry. The message that we’re hearing is that the fashion industry says women’s bodies are always supposed to look like something else, perhaps anything else, other than ‘naturally female’. It’s a tempting conclusion - but the problems with its logic are glaringly inherent.

When you stand next to a fashion model for the first time, especially a ‘high fashion’ model, you become suddenly aware that you are in the presence of a very different kind of human being. More often than not, she’ll tower above you, Amazonian in stature, like an Alice with pocketfuls of empty ‘eat me’ wrappers. When you look closer, you’ll see that her skinny legs and arms are, rather than the result of months of starvation, usually part and parcel of her very specific body type: a body type that which is both unusually slim and statuesque, with hips and tits kept to a minimum. That’s not to say that some models don’t underfeed themselves, or that their working conditions aren’t often appalling or rife with pressure to do so (as we’ve stated in previous columns, the fashion industry has a lot to answer for) but merely that the ‘fash pack’ favours one particular body type, and one which is by its very nature uncommon amongst the general population.

It’s when there is great pressure exerted on that general population to believe a catwalk body is achievable that we start to see problems, and it’s only when you’re actually in the presence of that model (something most people don’t experience, ever) that you realise how utterly preposterous and definitely unachievable that body type is. And it is fashion’s worship of that one genre of figure that results in the skewed standardisation that damages so many young women. Never in history has so much been demanded of so many through the photography of so few.

Of course, the fashion industry will sometimes pay lip service to acceptable difference. Pejic is different in as much he is of the opposite sex than you’d expect, but he still ticks the same aesthetic boxes as any female fashion model. Occasionally, Vogue will put a black model on the cover, and that copy will (apparently) sell badly, and then they’ll stop for another year or so. Last week saw Italian Vogue put an Asian model on its cover for the first time, Chinese model Fei Fei Sun. She looks startlingly chic, and crucially, has not been made to look more Caucasian, a charge often levied at fashion magazines when they use non-white models or celebrities.

Sometimes, fashion will even embrace fat, as stylist Katie Grand did for Beth Ditto’s naked LOVE cover of 2009. Certainly we’re seeing different kinds of body, sometimes, on very special occasions. The week before last saw make-up brand MAC use a female bodybuilder to advertise their product, in a campaign entitled ‘strength’. As a brand, MAC has always been ahead of the curve, having given RuPaul a modelling contract, making him the first drag queen supermodel as far back as 1995.

Before his spectacular fall from grace, John Galliano’s habit of shocking the fashion world was already well established. His S/S 2005 couture show featured an array of so-called ‘freaks’ instead of standard-issue models – dwarves, child twins, fat women, old men, and a variety of others who are so often invisible in the world a la mode. The New York Times reported that some were shocked at the show’s ‘gross humanity’, while others laughed throughout - now, pop stars such as Lady GaGa make freakishness a selling point. Could it be that the rest of the fashion industry is finally catching up?

Well, yes and no. The success of models such as Charlotte Free, with her pink locks and her feminism and her hairy armpits, gives us hope. Meanwhile, last week’s ‘Body Issue’ of Grazia, in which size 8 model Daisy Lowe is breathlessly held up as courageous and atypical due to her breasts, demonstrate that there is still a long way to go.

Fashion will always have a place for the freaks, the misfits and the outcasts, and it will continue to fetishise them in a not altogether respectful or flattering way, along with perpetuating the unusual female body type which still dominates fashion imagery and which we continue to perceive as normal and attainable.

So long as fashion continues to do this, it may just about convince some of us of its inclusivity. But in reality, inclusivity means more than the occasional (and often snide) nod towards difference, and it’s hard to be optimistic.

In the audience at these catwalk shows and fashion exhibits sit rows and rows of diverse women, the norms who conform neither to one vision nor the other, and they rarely see their reality mirrored back at them. That reality exists only in the swimming pool changing room, or at the gym, or in the nation’s bathrooms – the only places where bodies that are uncompromisingly flesh which sags and wobbles lurk – here be monsters!

Elsewhere, these bodies are all too often airbrushed out. Fashion may occasionally be a freakshow, but according to them, the most monstrous thing of all is run-of-the-mill, non-aspirational, un-Photoshopped humanity. It just doesn’t sell clothes.

Penis Festival

Kanamara Matsuri: Fertility Festivals’ Relevance for Japan 









The Shinto Kanamara Matsuri (かなまら祭り "Festival of the Steel Phallus"?) is held each spring at the Kanayama shrine (金山神社) in Kawasaki, Japan. The exact dates vary: the main festivities fall on the first Sunday in April. The penis, as the central theme of the event, is reflected in illustrations, candy, carved vegetables, decorations, and a mikoshi parade.

The Kanamara Matsuri is centered around a local penis-venerating shrine once popular among prostitutes who wished to pray for protection from sexually transmitted diseases. It is said that there are also divine protections for business prosperity and for the clan's prosperity; and for easy delivery, marriage, and married-couple harmony. There is also a legend of a sharp-toothed demon (vagina dentata) that hid inside the vagina of a young woman and castrated two young men on their wedding nights. As a result, the young woman sought help from a blacksmith, who fashioned an iron phallus to break the demon's teeth, which led to the enshrinement of the item.

Today, the festival has become something of a tourist attraction and is used to raise money for HIV research.

On the afternoon of April 7, the grounds of Kanayama Shrine in Kawasaki, just south of Tokyo, were packed out with people who had come to attend one of Japan’s most unconventional festivals: the Kanamara Matsuri (Festival of the Steel Phallus), a Shinto celebration that revolves around the parading and venerating of a large phallus. Pictures from last year’s event can be seen here.

People queued up to pose for photos next to a large pink phallic statue, ate penis-shaped candy and dressed in comical costumes, wearing glasses with said organ protruding from the nose. Vendors sold sticks of grilled food and cold drinks (alcohol prime among them), while thousands of spectators slowly made their way around the shrine to see what all the fuss was about.

The highlight is the parading of a large black phallus on a mikoshi (wooden float), as Shinto priests play traditional Japanese music (drums, flutes) in the background.

The overall atmosphere is light and lively, and has become a hit among foreign tourists. If anything, the event was so crowded that people were lucky just to make it from the street to the shrine, underlining the festival’s popularity as a quirky “alternative festival” among travelers and expats in Japan.

“I’d never even heard of the festival before my foreign friend told me about it,” said Marie, a female attendee in her late 20s. “Many Japanese don’t even know it exists.”

This could be due to history. During the Edo period, Kawasaki was one of the final stops along the Tokaido en route to Edo (now Tokyo), where merchants would stop at the city’s tea houses, which doubled as brothels. According to a salacious legend, which can be read about here, the prostitutes visited Kanayama Shrine to pray for protection against venereal diseases (framed as demons).

Over time, other people began to frequent the shrine to pray for fertility and abundance. Similar festivals sprouted up across Japan, geared towards conception and a good harvest.

While all of this is lighthearted, healthy – albeit very quirky – fun for Japanese and tourists today, there is an underlying irony and more serious message to note. As the festivities move along, it would appear that many Japanese remain blissfully unaware of the nation’s own impending crisis, which is closely linked to the original intent of the festival.

Put bluntly, Japan desperately needs its people to make some babies. Seiko Noda, a legislator from Japan’s house of representatives since 1993, even called for Japan to ban abortion in the Asahi Shimbun this February, according to the Washington Post. Given Japan’s abysmally low birthrate and looming demographic disaster, maybe now is a good time to reconnect with its fertility festivals.

Gay in Real Madrid CF

Affectionate: Sergio Ramos tweeted this picture of him giving Fernando Torres a kiss at Spain's training camp

Someone still loves you, Fernando! Spanish pal Ramos puckers up for a birthday kiss with poster of £50m flop

Having endured a largely barren season at Chelsea in which he has seemed at times to be carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, being overlooked by Spain for this week's World Cup qualifiers was the last thing Fernando Torres needed.

But it seems the out-of-sorts striker is still loved by someone.

International teammate Sergio Ramos has tweeted a picture of himself kissing a poster of the £50m flop at Spain's training ground.

The display of affection was no doubt the perfect present for Torres on his 29th birthday.

Real Madrid defender Ramos wrote: 'I want to congratulate a great friend who is not here, missing him lots... Happy birthday!!'

Despite ending his Chelsea scoring drought with a goal against Steaua Bucharest in the Europa League last Thursday, Torres was ignored by Spain boss Vicente Del Bosque.

Transgender in Chinese Beauty Pageant

'Manmade Beauties' to Compete in China

Beauty pageant contestant Liu Xiaoping used to be a man.

BEIJING -- Her hair is jet black and curly, her figure trim, her face free of wrinkles. Liu Yulan looks at least a decade younger than her 62 years -- thanks to four visits to a cosmetic surgeon. Liu is one of 19 finalists in China's first beauty pageant for women who have undergone plastic surgery, part of the country's increasingly fevered pursuit of beauty as the economy soars and people spend more money and time on their looks.

The government says the country's fast-growing cosmetic surgery industry rakes in $2.4 billion a year as patients rush to go under the knife to widen eyes, narrow faces and fill out lips and breasts, emerging as ``renzao meinu'' -- manmade beauties.

``Before, I couldn't imagine that it was possible to have places where the old could become young and the ugly could become beautiful,'' said Liu, who attributes her youthful looks to facelifts and surgery on her eyelids.

Wearing a formfitting carmine Mandarin-collar dress with silver beading, she joined contestants Sunday as they waved and posed for reporters, parading on stage in glittering gowns and plunging necklines minutes after a team of experts brushed, spritzed and teased their hair.

The finalists, aged 18 to 62, will vie for the top prize next Saturday after a week of rehearsals. Other individual prizes will also be awarded for best figure, biggest change and best stage demeanor.

``This contest shows women's strong pursuit of beauty,'' said Han Wei, an organizer. ``We would like to use it to unveil the mystery of manmade beauty and let society have a complete understanding of every aspect.''

More than 90 people from other countries applied, including women from the United States and Japan, but she said none was chosen because they either weren't serious about the contest or had language or scheduling problems. Applicants also had to show certificates to prove they had plastic surgery.

The idea for the competition took shape shortly after an 18-year-old woman was disqualified from a Chinese beauty pageant earlier this year because she had plastic surgery. She sued for emotional damage -- and lost.

Organizers say they want to emphasize the upside of plastic surgery.

``Manmade beauty is a trend in China,'' said Xia Lingsheng, who heads one of the companies in charge of the event. ``We want people -- especially young people -- to understand that they should not blindly seek manmade beauty. They need to understand it.''

The quest for beauty has been part of Chinese culture for centuries. But after the 1949 Communist takeover, and especially during Mao's 1966-76 Cultural Revolution, the norm changed. Women were recruited for all jobs. Clothes became unisex as most donned army uniforms or shapeless blue or gray Mao suits and cotton shoes.

In the 1980s, as China engaged the international community, Hong Kong and Japan -- and, later, the United States -- provided inspiration for women's body images.

By 2001, Chinese were buying $5 billion worth of cosmetics products a year, according to the Web site of the China Hair and Beauty Association.

China has also hosted the Miss World beauty pageant two years in a row and will take on the role again next year.

Liu Xiaojing, a 21-year-old from the northeastern city of Harbin, was a man three years ago but doesn't feel that undermines her chances in the contest.

``Becoming beautiful is everyone's wish,'' said Liu, who was wearing a strapless turquoise dress. ``I am now legally a woman, and this contest is my first formal step toward womanhood.''

Liu didn't tell organizers she was a transsexual, and they didn't ask. On Sunday, she revealed in front of reporters that she used to be a man. Han said no decision had been made on whether she still qualified as a contestant.

``If they disqualify me, I will use legal means to seek fairness,'' said Liu, who has also had work done on her eyebrows, nose, chin and facial shape. ``This is a turning point in my life.''

Liu, the retiree from northern Hebei province, said winning wasn't her goal. Instead, she wanted to prove a point -- to herself as much as those around her.

``I want to show my attitude of my heart, my self-confidence,'' she said, tapping her chest. ``I'm fantastic!''
