Kan, a Thai transvestite performer, is pictured with her two-month-old pet monkey, Julian.

The duo were photographed backstage at the Tiffany's Show, a world-renowned transvestite cabaret located near Bangkok. The first Tiffany's Show was performed in 1974, and at the time, was a one-woman show, performed for a discrete group of friends.
