Death of a Salesman at Lyric
Tranny doll from trailertrashdoll.com

There are many things that go hand in hand. Salt and vinegar, marriage and divorce. But what about PlayStation2 and transgenderism. No, it's not a likely combination is it?

Not very likely, but with a product that is about to become obsolete (with the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles coming up), Sony execs are doing anything they can to milk the PS2 for what it's worth.

So milk it they did, and the resulting PR scam (albeit a fun one) is the PS2 Cabaret Room at Bistrotheque, which is soon to host some of the the most ludicrously inspired events. Our favourite being the Tranny Talent Show.

Treading familiar territory as last summer's Transvestite Lip Synchronicity, the Tranny Talent Show - hosted by the infamously fierce drag queen, Jonny Woo - offers any non-gender specific entertainer the chance to win themselves a £500 Grand Prize (is that it?) by their performance on singing game SingStar Popworld.

And while Rowetta from X Factor may be tempted to apply, you do have to adhere to three basic rules:
1. You must cross dress
2. Your act must last no more than 5 minutes

Cabaret Room at Bistroteque, 23-27 Wadeson St, E2
