TRANS
NIGHTS IN PARIS Photographs by GILLES CRAMPES and text by ASSIA DRIDI / TAÏGA (319-50048) In the evening, transsexuals from Brazil, Peru, North Africa, Israel, Spain, Russia, and Tahiti ceremoniously prepare their gala outfits to last them throughout the night. As if to forget the discriminatory insults they are subject to, they wear high heels, strass, and excessive makeup in order to become singers, dancers, or entertainers in very private parties. Queens for a day, as Brigitte Bardot or Gina Lollobrigida in highly enticing skin-tight dresses, alluring cleavages, or transparent skirts, these unconventional beauties give these soirées a hysterical ambiance that other places of leisure do not offer. Trans nights in Paris, more than anywhere else, have become an essential gathering point for an entire fauna that seeks strong sensations and fantasies. To the torrid rhythm of salsa and hotly mixed music, the abnormal beauty of silicone-enhanced women, trendy young women, awestruck tourists, and distinguished old men blend joyfully on the colored beams of the dance floor.
