Did you know that Thai ladyboys are on average three to five centimeters taller than non-ladyboy Thai males? This means that in addition to becoming entertainers and sex workers, many ladyboys also play volleyball, which is a fun fact to remember the next time you face one of those slightly awkward silent moments at a holiday office party or family gathering. While most of the work in German editorial photographer Frank Rothe's portfolio rates higher in interestingness than wankability, it's still more than worth your while to check out—especially his "Lady Boys" series and "China Naked" series, the latter featuring (what else) nude studies shot in Beijing and Shanghai artfully juxtaposed with urban landscapes. And then there's the volleyball thing, which we'll have to take Rothe's word for since we have no way of verifying it: all the ladyboys around our office wear heels all the time, so it's hard to tell how tall they really are really.
