The show is about to get a little more interesting in its third season that kicks off this October Ray is about to get a pre-op transwoman as a client and surprise, surprise, she actually IS being played by a transwoman.
Jamie Clayton, who we last saw as one of the three hosts along with Laverne Cox and Nina Poon on the short lived VH1 reality series TRANSform Me, will be playing Kyla, a receptionist who hires Drecker for his sexual services after a rival anything goes gigolo starts cutting into his business and he has to consider going into the TBLG zone.
