This came to me like in a dream but it wasn’t a story. I was asleep so thats why I’m thinking this was a dream. It was more like a flashback. LOL Or like a slide show of mahu’s I know, of mahu incidents of the past and mahu-isms. *L* If you are homophobic you may not want to go any further. Exit now. But you know if you read’em you going laugh and go eeewwwwwl. I not going tell you stay reading mahu stuff!
The first Mahus I knew in person was wen I was a junior in high school. Bobbie & Pauline transferred from a town school. Town get people “la dat” you know, country side no had. LOL These two were out right gay, they did not hide it, they were not closet cases at all. They use to come into “our battroom” cause if they went into da boys bathroom dey would get beat up. They could come in our battroom and do all their girlygirly things and we had no problem with it. In fact they were teaching us how to put on makeup.
Rememba back in da day fake eyelashes were in, and its coming back I hear. But they use to wear like 2-5 pairs of false eyelashes. They use to teach us girls how fo’do dat. So you can have beautiful girraffe looking eyes. *L* Have you ever put on fake eyelashes? I did and look like I stay making morse code signals wit my eyes cause they keep blinking 280. (whoa I neva use dat term in awhile)
One time I was talking story wit da janitor of our battroom. She was telling me, “you know how you can tell if as one wahine stay making shishi or as one kane stay making shishi? I coulda swear had one bugga in hea making shishi, but I neva see’um.” I told her, “Mrs B, you know da two mahus in school, dey use dis battroom cause if dey go in da boys one da boys going beatem’ up.” She was like, “I’m glad you told me I taught I was going nuts, I knew was one kane making shishi in hea.”
At my 20something class reunion I found out one of my classmates was gay. He was a Japanese guy and for some reason in high school I neva thought of Japanee guys being gay. I’ve always knew there were Filipino guys who were kinda girlish. In Visayan its called, “By-yoit.” Or something like that, its like “sissy” I think. For woteva reason I neva thought of Japnee guys being gay. Maybe its dat samurai family mentality thing, you know. Homosexuality is not race specific but I didn’t know dat back in da day.
I’ve always knew they were males dressed like females because of Hotel Street. Small kid time, sometimes on paydays our treat was to go cruise to Leonard’s Bakery for malasadas and going home us cruise Hotel Street. Da way my Fahdah explained it was, “You see all dis BIG WAHINE, as NOT WAHINE.” It wasn’t till I was high school that I understood there were Butchies & Lesbians.
I’ve always been fascinated how guys can be more gorgeous den gorgeous. Alot of it is smoke and mirrors. *L* Its all about makeup, how they dress and how they present themselves, the illusion they create. They create some great illusions. I’ve always wondered what they do with dey boto, cause wouldn’t there be a bulge? They don’t have a natural “camel toe.” Eeewwwl did I say that. LOL
One time I was watching a speacial on TV about mahus and they were getting ready for one of there shows. So dis mahu dey were following went thru the process of getting ready. So herm/shim puts on her panty hose anden she stuff pieces of foam on the sides and okole section to give the illusuin of curvey hips. Anden herm wen buss out one roll of Duct Tape and wen put tape from below da belly button down da crotch and come up da okole in back. I was cracking up. You duct tape your boto?! I guess you have to shove it down huh? Eh, I don’t have a boto. But I’m thinking cannot have bulge in front so gotta pushem down and unda. Downunda! LOL Doesn’t that hurt?
Who knew, another use for Duct Tape. A totally guy thing. Would a female think ‘duct tape’ when plumbing needs to be “fixed.” How funny. You know this use is not listed in the book of 101 Uses for Duct Tape. Who came up with this idea, a redneck? *L*
102. For the illusion of a camel toe when you have a boto……..
Mahu’s are fun. There’s a reason they are called GAY cause they are, gay as in happy fun loving. Gay never use to mean mahu. Gay means happy.
My mahu friends always slap me in their limp wristed way. Cause I just bust out and ask anykind questions straight out. (Cause you know I’m straight like dat*L*)
What made you want to be one wahine? When did you know you was mahu? When you go out in full drag, do you use falseys? What do you use to stuff your bra? What do you have in your bag? Do you always carry vaseline?
LOL Ok, I betta stop now before I get grosser.

Tita Lika, I swear your are my LOST TWIN!!!! Mahu’s are my favorite gang of people to hang around with. I have straight friends but I always come back to the gay ones. They know how to have fun without fights. Just socializing! In the straight Bar’s, I hate being around drunks who keep thinking I’m looking for one man to go to bed with. I usually have to punch the sucker.
Plus, the mahu’s have beautiful clothes, shoes, earrings! Well, most of them. LOL When you come, I’ll bring you to Club Kekai’s! You’ll have fun with my Gay friends! You can ask all the questions you like!

Two of my classmates went all the way with the sex change. They were two of quite a few mahus at Farrington but they were the two most popular. One even was MC for one of those Drag Queen Pageants at the Ilikai so a bunch of us classmates went and it was really entertaining. Maybe Aunty Lynn know her. Dina her name now she was Clifford before, lived inAtlanta and came home about 8 years ago. They used to go Yappy’s in Kapahulu when we were in High School. They came to our 30th reunion in LV ten years ago and they were the life of the party.
They were lidat from Kalakaua days and even before I guess. Shauna is a Hairdresser and has a shop on young Street.
Okay latahs.
