Asian Shemales
(アジアのニューハーフ)
An Interview
With The Owner of AsianTS.com!
* *Editors note;** This is another special interview
we are
adding to the AsianTS website in October, 2008. This was the transcript
from
an actual Amsterdam broadcast back in August, featuring the new
owner of
AsianTS, Mario, being interviewed by Rob De Graaf of Radio One; this
was
aired during morning drive-time on the all-news station and it certainly
created a buzz! If you missed that, here is the transcript in
its entirety;

Rob; Hey everyone, today we have a special interview
with
Mario from the World Vision Media corporation; a well-known face
in the red
light district of Amsterdam and in the pornography business since
1998, we
want to get the lowdown on why this local legend is now venturing
out into
new markets, and one with a special twist; Shemales from Asia!
Welcome to
the show, Mario.
Mario; Thanks very much, it's good to be here.
Rob; Now, am I to understand this properly; you have
gone
from straight pornographic websites and have now dived head-first
into
the world of Asian Shemales? How did THAT come about?
Mario; Well, to be honest I never knew that the Asian Shemale niche
was so popular, if I had I would have been in sooner! In early 2007
we saw that
one of the most popular websites in the whole Asian Shemale industry was up for sale,
AsianTS.com; We bid the highest and walked away with what we
consider to be
a great new property for World Vision Media.
Rob;
Please explain why.
Mario;
You must understand; the market on-line for these
special people, at any time commonly referred to as Ladyboys, Shemales
or
Newhalfs, is getting larger and larger every year, mainly in Japan, China,
and Thailand and
other Asian
locations. It was a no-brainer
for us to add it to our group of websites and so
far it has proved to be
wildly popular, even more than we had ever dreamed!
Rob; What do you think is the reason for that; is
your new
audience considered to be gay males?
Mario; No, not even a little bit. Gay men tend to like other
gay men only; this is a special category, a Third Sex where beauty
is
portrayed in every new photo gallery of Shemales; the people who like Ladyboys
tend to
be 100% straight, but they have a curiosity for our girls. We are
here to
help them and to become more than curious, and to check it out for
themselves.
Rob; Straight males viewing Asian Shemales on the internet; who
would have ever guessed?
Mario; I agree, 10 years ago I never would think that so many
people would be interested in these beautiful Asian Shemales, but now in
2008 it
has indeed become very popular.
Rob; So you and your company just went out bought the rights
to the most famous Ladyboy website out there, correct?
Mario; Yes, AsianTS has been in the business since 2001, has a
great reputation, and we were frankly very lucky to get into the Asian
Shemale Photo
and Video business with this website; it took years and years and a lot of work
to develop and
market the website the way it was between 2001 and 2007; But
Jon and Andy
in Los Angeles, USA were all too ready to give up the business and
move into
other ventures, so we were just in the right place at the right time.
Rob; Would you say that these Asian Ladyboys are the wave of
the future?
Mario; Yes, I do very much so.
Rob; I am still a bit confused here; are these Shemales
that
you feature so prominently on your tour and in the Members area
all living
full-time as a lady? Or are they more similar to the Cross dressers
and
Transvestites we have here in Europe?
Mario; A Ladyboy who has considered it impossible to live as a
boy any longer usually becomes a full-fledged Asian Ladyboy at around
age 18
or 19; by that time most of the models are living full time,
24/7, as a
Lady; whereas Transvestites and Crossdressers only dress
up as women as a
hobby or a cheap thrill. These girls walk the walk,
talk the talk, and
look GREAT doing that.
Rob; Ok, understood. And now that World Vision Media
corp.
has started with Asian Shemales and Ladyboys, will your regular viewers
still get
the quality they have been finding in the past with your various
websites?
Mario; Of course, we have taken over AsianTS and came into the
market with guns blazing; we went to Daily Updates last year, one new
model
every day! We add the photos and videos of Asian Shemales everyday as well!
But we still offer all kinds of websites to the consumers,
one or
2 for every niche out there.
Rob; That's a hint; can we expect any more websites from you
involving these beautiful Asian Shemales?
Mario;
Well, time will tell! But to be honest we are still
focusing right now on just keeping AsianTS as the number one site for
this
topic on the internet; whether you call them Shemales, Asian Ladyboys,
Japanese Newhalfs or Transsexuals, we will keep bringing them
to the public
literally every day. And believe me, that audience grows each
day as more
and more new people are just finding out about the beauty and pure
sexiness
of our beautiful Asian models for the first time.
Rob; Well, I know I am convinced! Sitting here and looking
at
your new website these past 2 hours has left my mouth wide open;
as in, can
these people really be boys?
Mario;
I know, it's very hard to believe, isn't it? I have only
been to Thailand 2 times, usually Kyle or other members of the staff
here
take the photos and videos; but I can attest to the fact that there
are
thousands of Ladyboys just like this all over the place, and
most of them
you could never even tell that they were once a boy.
Rob; Looking over this website makes ME want to go to Asia
to
meet these Ladyboys also; do you have any special help pages
for guys like
me?
Mario:
Strangely enough, we just re-did the whole
Transexual Tourism page! Which means that if you or your listeners
are
intrigued enough and really want to go to Asia to meet these gorgeous
Shemales, you only need to read our tourism page to see where they
all live
and work!
Rob; This is all very fascinating to me to be honest.
Mario; Well, for me
also; at first I thought I could be a casual
non-observer and have no interest in these Ladyboys, but when you work
on
the website every day that is a hard thing to do! I am starting
to like
these gorgeous ladies more and more each time I see their photos and
videos,
it's simply amazing really.
Rob; OK, before we get back to the news we want to tell
everyone listening just exactly how they can see the same things
that we
have been talking about today, please.
Mario; Sure, Rob; to see the most diverse selection
of
beautiful Asian Shemales on-line, to see them in Video and photo format
literally updated 30 times per month, and to learn more and more about
their
lifestyles, all your listeners have to do is to go to the
Join page
at
AsianTS.com! For less than 20 Euro per month they can have it
all; and yes,
they will be amazed for sure.
Rob; That's for sure, I certainly know I am! Thanks
so
much for stopping by today, and best of luck with this great-looking
new
venture!
Mario; Sure, and thanks once again to you and your
listeners.
