Begum Nawazish Ali - Cross Dressed Late Night TV Host in Pakistan

November 29, 2006

A sari wearing cross dressing Pakistani late night TV host!  Also, starting to make a spalsh in India!

So a woman cannot walk the streets unveiled in Pakistan, and public homosexuality is a dangerous proposition in both countries, but a drag queen can host a serious TV Show? 

The Begum, as she’s known — the Urdu equivalent of Lady — has hosted a long list of Pakistan’s most prominent politicians, artists, performers and activists in a dizzying interview style that jumps between hard talk and a chatty tête-à-tête. In less than two years, the show has become a smash success.

 

And The Begum isn’t shy. She daringly brings together guests who would rarely be seen together. In one episode, she hosted the then-mayor of Karachi, Naimatullah Khan, then a member of Pakistan’s leading Islamist party, alongside one of Pakistan’s sexy Westernized top models. (Mr. Khan insists he did not know that "she was a he.")

I luv it! He schtic is awesome with her intimate interview space - an over the top drag queen frou frou space a la Pakistan! And a gold candle burning just for ambiance! Lovely! But dam only boyz dressed as girls get a chance! Emulate girl characteristic but dam don’t dare be one! Urgh!
