Flavorwire: Cultural news and critique from Flavorpill...
"Young boys of the Shan tribe in northern Thailand undergo a ritual known as 'Poi Sang Long.' They dress in bright colors, wear makeup, and adorn themselves with flowers. The purpose of the ceremony is to mimic the young Prince Siddhartha before he became Lord Buddha. To a Westerner, or person unfamiliar with the tribe’s customs, these adolescent males could easily be mistaken for young girls."
