Ah! What a find! I'd love to know more about her...
I asked a Vietnamese coworker, and his answer was somewhat vague except to say there is a particular genre of song that is meant to be preformed in effusive costume etc. I want to know more. Honest;y, it resembled the song/performance that is run on contemporary Vietnamese state television, except with less nationalism and more Trans.
