I was very sad to read that legendary Vegas showgirl Jahna Steele died of accidental drug overdose on Jan. 22. Like many, I first learned of her when "A Current Affair" exposed Jahna as being a transsexual back in 1992. (She was one of the Strip's most popular performers passing as a woman at the time.) But it was her appearance in last year's documentary "Trantasia," as MC of the first transgender beauty pageant, that really endeared me to her and her sweet, self-deprecating sense of humor. A huge loss to the LGBT population. My thoughts to her family and friends. (WindyCityTimes)

Wow, they've really perfected the male to female transsexual surgery. She's stunning.
It makes me so sad that she's passed away.
How sad. I just watch "Trantasia" on Showtime yesterday and thought what a great thing that was happening for the transgendered community to finally get the respect they deserve.
Such a shame.
