Mimi Marks Wins Again!
Miss International Queen 2005



Chicago's own Mimi Marks has been crowned "Miss International Queen" in Thailand.

Mimi, indeed a Transsexual Superstar, represented the United States in the pageant, along with the top 18 finalists. The competition was broadcast live on ITV in Thailand.

It was the 2nd Annual Miss International Queen Pageant in the beautiful city of Pattaya, Thailand, October 25-29, 2005.

Miss International Queen is a competition for male to female Transgenders around the world. Its the equivalent to the Miss Universe pagent, with a "twist," as all contestants in Miss International Queen must prove that they are - or were - male through birth certification.

This year's competition was sponsored by Coca Cola, Tiffany's Show in Pattaya (the world's largest venue for female impersonation and the first Transgender cabaret show in South East Asia), Royal Garden Plaza, and Pratunam Polyclinic.

Mimi is currently on an international press tour promoting her crowning achievement and the Miss International Queen Pageant.

Mimi is a former Miss Continental. In 2004, she was crowned The World's Most Beautiful Transsexual in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I have written two accounts of THAT pageant (with photos):

Article 1 | Article 2

Mimi regularly performs at The Baton Show Lounge in Chicago, IL, her home for the past eighteen years. I inteviewed the club's owner, Jim Flint, in Article 1. Both Mimi Marks and the Baton Show Lounge are the subjects of a docu-series, executive produced and created by partners Nikki Weiss and Carole Antouri. Its being marketed to networks through The Endeavor Agency.



As you know, my website does not "borrow" photos of performers and pageants, I obtain them "with permission."

I hope to be in contact with the agency representing Mimi Marks for some photos from the event, as well as an interview with Mimi.
