The Sub Culture ‘Disco Trannies’, is quite hard to put a specific time stamp on. The Disco scene revolutionised the club/party scene in the early 70’s in America. However, the emergance of the ‘disco tranny’ is a relatively new concept. Inspired largelyy  by icons such as David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, and more recently Jodie Harsh and Mika Doll. The term refers to an emerging surge of transvestites, leading the gay club scene. They are infamous for having full faces of make up, wigs and large hair, wearing lots of bright colours and glitter and bold clothes. Well known clubs areound London keen on the scene are ‘Circus’ and ‘Punk’. The whole look and feel of the sub culture is glitter, glamour, glits, extravagence and exaggeration.
