Upscale Thai restaurant Mango Tree’s now legendary annual ladyboy beauty pageant will return for a 10th year this Sunday night, the 15th of September. The 2013 event will feature a “safari” theme along with special guest hosts and judges as wells as DJs, musical performances and the “lively, buzzing atmosphere that Mango Tree is famous for”.
Guests will enjoy a night of “high-class entertainment” and be served a range of Thai canapés and cocktails while ladyboy entrants compete for the coveted Miss Mango Tree 2013 crown as well as cash prizes and more. Alongside these gender bending contestants, male contenders will compete for the same cash prizes and the title of Mr Mango Tree UK 2013.
Past winners of the Miss Mango Tree title have gone on to compete in Thailand’s Miss International Queen contest, and one of 2011’s male winners, Kirk Miller, went on to appear on the cover of Men’s Health, while the runner up from the same year, Stephen Box, became a professional male model.
Mango Tree is located at 46 Grosvenor Place, SW1X 7EQ. Doors will open at 6.30pm. The competition will kick off at 7.30 and lasts a couple of hour with the partying going on until midnight. Smart casual dress is required. Tickets cost £17 in advance or £20 at the door. To book ahead (a very good idea indeed as this event is extremely popular) call the restaurant at 0207 823 1888.
