Noche Gay (de Travesti) en Tijuana!

Ken Cooke - 3-27-2012 at 05:33 PM

Leidys and I took a short weekend trip to one of my favorite cities in the world...TIJUANA. Here are some of the photos from Gay Night in Tijuana!

After filling up on THE BEST TORTAS I have ever tasted at, "Tortas y Mas" on H Street in Chula Vista, CA - we were off on the Blue Line to San Ysidro and the International Border.

Leidys waiting patiently at the Blue Line station


From the Blue Line stop, it was a fast 10 minute walk to this point in Tijuana, Mexico.


Our Driver for the weekend was none other than, Nomad 'CG'!:bounce:


'CG's' new baby - Lucy The Pit! was purchased for $20 from a Homeboy in Tijuana. Look at the beauty!:bounce:


Because it was Saturday night, we had the added treat of visiting with neighbors from the Barrio!:bounce:



'CG's beautiful Mother-In-Law Elvira


Leidys was as excited as going to the Gay Bar as visiting with everyone in Tijuana!


"La Nena" has been a good friend for several years.


Quieres Un Cerveza???

Taxi ride to the Gay Bar!

Ken Cooke - 3-27-2012 at 05:37 PM

Look who filled up the front seat of the Taxi cab!:lol:


The back seat was overfilled with the guys! [ONLY IN TIJUANA!]



Women supervising the Men


$$Who Has To Pay??$$ [CONVERSATION TURNS SERIOUS]


Tension mounts as the conversation turns to Pesos...:?:


20 Pesos paid to the driver, and everyone began laughing and talking about the Gay Bar!:bounce:

Udo - 3-27-2012 at 05:43 PM

Thanks for sharing the FUN photos, Ken!

[Edited on 3-28-2012 by Udo]

30 minutes later, we arrive at Plaza de Mariachi - 1st and Revoluccion

Ken Cooke - 3-27-2012 at 05:43 PM

Leidys and 'CG' looking for the Gay Bar.:tumble:


We walked past THE NEW Hawaii Bar, Tijuana - located at 1st and Revoluccion (Plaza de Mariachi)


Alex met up with us - Alex was photographed (by Me) in Dirt Sports Magazine at the Reto 4x4 event.


After getting seated, the show had already begun!:bounce:


Chris and Miri were ready for a good show!:bounce:


This Transgender Performer looked very convincing as she sang to the original songs!


We sat back and had a great time!



[Edited on 3-28-2012 by Ken Cooke]

The singers kept on performing...

Ken Cooke - 3-27-2012 at 05:51 PM





After the 2nd Performer, a "Laura En America" skit was performed. It felt like we were in New York City with both the enthusiasm and talent in this small Bar was demonstrated by each of the performers.


Leidys enjoyed the performers at this exceptional bar.


More singers kept the crowd entertained.


The dancers shined throughout the night.


...And the singers kept on coming...




The photos began to get blurrier and blurrier...

Ken Cooke - 3-27-2012 at 06:07 PM





GLORIA TREVI!! My favorite performer of the evening.


'CG' gave this excellent performer a tip.

DirtSports coverage in Rosarito at Reto Hardcore 4x4!

Maybe this is the answer to the TJ Tourism Slump. Make the whole city completely gay. Gay gas stations........gay sporting goods stores.......even the trash truck crew will be gay.
Gay cops who will sashay around your car while asking for mordida............gay bus drivers.......and lets not forget the sewer workers, all gay.
Gay shoeshiners......gay sicarios.......gay car upholsterers....everybody gay.

They can change the city name to Gayjuana..the northernmost gay city in Gayja.

Yep, Ken....I think you're on to something here.

Actually during the economic downturn the last few years, and drug violence. A lot of Tijuana gay bars opened up in the Tijuana area. I understand a few of these new bars have sometime called a "dark room" in these news bars. I actually haven't been to any of these new gay bars, but unfortunately I also heard of new bar gay patrons were robbed in some of these "dark room" but then again that's not surprising that some opportunists thieves would do something like this in a dark area of the bar where there is close contact between people.

But the sin city element of Tijuana has always attracted a lot of Americans, and Tijuana should perhaps do a little more to attract gay Americans to Tijuana's many old established gay bars like the "Hawaii" on Plaza Santa Cecilia where Ken and his wife were at, and the new gay bars in Tijuana.

Perhaps in Tijuana could attract more American gays to Tijuana. Then perhaps other so-called straight Americans would follow too.

I also understand there is a gay bath house that is gringo friendly in Tijuana. It might be a great place for you Dennis to relax at. I doubt anybody over the age of 50 has anything to worry about getting "hit' on by the gay locals.

BornFisher - 3-28-2012 at 12:01 PM

Only $20 for that dog?

Well....that's a load off my mind. The last thing I want is some guy in Speedos bothering me in a bar.
Anyway....why does it have to be so dark? They should turn up the lights.

An after-thought to my post above..........Gayjuana could be called Gayjay for short. How do you like that, Joe?? Gayjay.....you know....kinda like TJ, but Gayjay. Do you think you could get used to calling your soul-turf, Gayjay?? Has a nice ring to it, huh.

Woooosh - 3-28-2012 at 12:26 PM

Never seen a man show off his "tramp stamp" before. I guess he didn't get the memo regrading those. ooops.

Looks like a surprisingly fun time was had by all. Very smart not to drive with no worries about your car while you are carousing. Was this our first drag show photo thread? JJJ is right that if the gay bars rebound, the straight ones will think it's safe enough to follow. But no cholo wants to take the chance of getting his butt kicked by robbing a Gloria Trevi impersonator either.

Thanks Ken, I think. Alonzo says he thins that club is "Villa Garcia", same owner as the gay cowboy bar "El Ranchero".

Hey, Woooosh....will you call it Gayjay when everything changes? It probably won't last too long 'cuz the birthrate is going to drop to zero.

Dennis you would be surprised how many so-called straight married men with children lead a secret gay life. So I doubt the birthrate will drop to zero anytime soon even if TJ would become a gay city of your dreams.

Dennis you seem mighty interested in this thread for some reason?

Dennis you're not homophobic are you? Cause you know what they say about "homophobes" and their latent (hidden) disturbances at the conscious and unconscious levels?

Ohh yeah??? Well they won't be doing any of that nasty stuff when it's mandated that everybody in the city be a little, or a lot, lite in their slippers. It's gonna be a Queertropolis, Joe, and you don't have to be biologist to know that gays have a hell of a time making babies.
Gayjay will be a ghost town with tumbleweed rolling down Revo and it'll look just like the Black Plague wiped out the entire population.
Pediatricians will be the first to go....even the gay ones. Gone. Nothing to do.
Just you wait and see.

Gays visit the TJ clubs mostly for the stage shows like this one, or the male strippers at the other clubs. Some of Alonzo's friends from Vegas drive all the way to TJ just to dress up like cowboys at EL Ranchero. High quality drag shows aren't that common NOB these days. Straight people like Hank Rhon in TJ love them and we have several "entertainer" friends who have performed at his parties. It's jun fun- not really a sexual thing. They raise a lot of money for charities with these shows too- one single bill at a time.

As the evening began to wind down, Alex shared a drink with one of the featured performers. They know each other and talked about the show and festivities at the nearby Hawaii Bar.




For the past 4 years, Alex has always been a real nice friend.


SALUD!:bounce:


And that ended our trip to EL CENTRO DE TIJUANA. We shared a taxi back to our Motel in Soler and there were no armed hijackers on the street to speak of. In fact, the streets were humming with activity. Our Motel - Villas de Santiago Inn, Soler was a hotbed of activity (no pun intended).

Alex talking incessantly on the ride back.



Leidys had a wonderful time in Tijuana!:bounce:


The Taxi driver made crude gestures behind my back. Not a smart move, Taxista.:!:

Ken Cooke - 3-28-2012 at 08:19 PM

The next day, 'CG' took us to a favorite restaurant of his - located in the hip 'Playas' section of town.



Restaurante Ruedo located on Calle de los Arcos
https://foursquare.com/v/restaurant-ruedo/4d052398a268548164...


This Restaurant was incredible! The stylish Tijuana city people crowded inside where the environment was made even more intimate by a singer/guitarist.


Ateo - 3-28-2012 at 08:42 PM

Gays are human beings (no duh). They are our daughters, sons, dads, mothers, cousins......

To say anything else is to say you're ignorant of human nature and to show yourself as lame.

Stupid that I'd even have to make a post like this.

Thanks for sharing Ken.

Ateo - 3-28-2012 at 08:46 PM

Ken rules.

Thanks, Ateo! I am also grateful to live so close to a major Mexican city where so many activities take place on a weekly basis. The Mexican people are warm and hospitable - in the cities, as in the Baja backcountry. 'CG' is also a great friend who introduced me to so many nice people in his extended family. I hope to provide more threads like this one in the near future detailing all of the interesting people and places that the state of Baja CA N. provides American vistors like myself.

Years back my oldest daughter and several of her gay friends took me to a club in Tijuana called Ecstasy I think? It was an outrageous evening and a lot of fun. Believe me that a lot of straight people (men and women) go into these clubs - all looking to have a fun evening with friends - gay and straight.

Durrelllrobert let me show you what I like below.

Her name is Raquel Pomplun, and she is a Tijuana, Mexico native, and goes to school part-time in San Diego. Raquel is also Playboy's Miss April 2012! ( sorry I can't show the "Playboy" pictures, but this girl is really special.)

I'm so proud of the Tijuana native Raquel Pomplun, and "Playboy" for featuring Ms Pomplun. I'm going to run out to the store later and buy me a copy of "Playboy" magazine. ( I haven't read Playboy in years)

As far a gay bars are concerned. I been to a few gay bars, but mostly in West Hollywood where I have a few gay friends. Gay bars don't bother me in the least, and I probably haven't been hit on by any gays since I was in my 20's.

In Tijuana I know where the gay bars are, but I don't stop and drink, but from time to time I pop my head in some of those bars like "Hawaii" when they are having a show just to take a brief look, but I don't stay.

A lot of those gay bars have "tranny shows" and many so-called straight tranny chasers mistakenly believe they could pick up T-girls in gay bars. I'm sorry to disappoint the tranny chasers, because most gays like their sexual partners to look like other guys, and not girls.

I do my best to try to educate forum members especially on some of my other forums I hang out at. It gets complicated at times, but like they say, "whatever floats your boat.

Wow, Raquel Pomplun is simply beautiful:


Cyanide41 - 3-30-2012 at 08:41 AM

Ken, was that's Mike's Disco? I have been in there a few times. My GF loves that place. I find that cross dressers in MX don't pull it off as well as the US. I once had dinner at Asia SF in San Fran. and if I didn't know ahead of time, some of those (wo)men would have had me fooled.

vgabndo - 3-31-2012 at 10:42 AM

My first experience with trannies was in the Phillipine Islands where the young guys were called "bennie boys". They dressed like high school girls did at home, the older cross dressers just looked made-up and ugly, the teenaged "girls" were mind warping for this young Marine half a world from home!

Viva la diversidad!

Thanks Ken. Your openness is refreshing.

What is really amazing about Raquel is all the weight she's lost, just look at all the extra belt she has these days!!!:lol::lol::lol:

[Edited on 3-31-2012 by vgabndo]


I think the correct slang word for transsexuals in the Philippines is "billy boys" not " "bennie boys"

Many years ago most of the strip bars on "Avenida Revolución" had a least a few pre-op transsexuals working on the bars and they would take advantage of unsuspecting gringo tourists, and many of these trannies were experts at picking pockets. I used to know guys that claimed they went to these bars just to watch gringos get ripped off more ways than one.

Most of these bars have closed, and it's doubtful any of the "Zona Norte" bars have trannies. But if you see a Mexican tranny on the street or bar. It's best to keep away from them, because many of them can pick your pockets clean, and you won't know it, until they are long gone.

No, we were in a Plaza off of 1st and Revoluccion behind Hotel Nelson. The Bar is called Villa Garcia - Plaza Santa Cecilia, Tijuana. I hope to go back again in the spring and later in the summer for my birthday celebration.
