KhuslenBy Rafa Carvajal & Michael Bustamante Khan Photos by David Vance. davidvanceprints.com

8 WIREMAG.COM #50 2017 t's been just over two years since we inter- viewed Khuslen Khan in November 2015 and showcased two sexy photos of him by renowned photographer David Vance on the cover and centerfold of Wire Mag- azine. David recently did another photo shoot of Khuslen, so we decided to turn his beautiful photos into our first special Calen- dar issue of 2018. We also sat down with Khuslen for an in-depth interview to find out how his life and career have evolved since he was last on the cover of Wire Magazine.

Rafa Carvajal: For those who missed our last interview, tell us a bit about yourself. Khuslen Khan: Well, if you haven't seen my last interview, my name is Khuslen Khan. I'm from Mongolia and moved to the States when I was 9 years old. Honestly speaking, I'm just like anyone else. I'm human, I have CATCHING UP WITH MODEL insecurities, I have doubts and everything you guys reading this have.

I was not born from a well-off family, the complete opposite actually.

Khuslen Khan I was born in Mongolia in the '90s under mostly poor conditions and people living in "OVER TIME, I UNDERSTOOD THAT BESIDES HAVING A NICE BODY, poverty.

n case you haven't heard yet, the circus is in town. No, I don't mean Cirque du Soleil. I'm talking about The Greatest Showman, the col- orful story of a man whose wild imagination turned him into the world's most famous en- tertainer. In the Michael Gracey-directed film, Hugh Jackman retracts his Wolverine claws for a minute to play P.T. Barnum, father of the legendary Barnum & Bailey circus. As the on- screen adventures unfold, Jackman is joined by Zac Efron and a band of misfits who come to- gether to build what eventually becomes known as "The Greatest Show on Earth."

As if featuring two of Hollywood's hottest hard-bodies wasn't enough to make us run to theaters screaming, "Take my money!" We also get the extra treat of watching them flex their voices too. That's right! You can add The Greatest Showman to the list of new musicals to hit the big screen. So, who do you call when you've got a musical in need of some original songs?

PALACE RINGS IN 2018

A Queen's Grand Ball alace Bar is celebrating 2018 in grand style fit for a queen with a New Year's Eve ball at their new 1052 Ocean Drive per- manent location. Harmonica Sunbeam and Joanna James will host with performances by Tiara Love Dupree, Elishaly D'Witshes, Kalah Mendoza, Shanaya Bright and Melissa Plastic Hilton. The New Year's packages start at $95 for a three-course prix fixe dinnerin that includes Royal a Style choice among two appetizers, four main cours- es, and two desserts, as well as a glass of Veuve Clicquot. There's also an à la carte option for $130, if you prefer it.

Owner Thomas Donall and his famous Palace drag queens have a lot to celebrate this year. In the spring, when Donall announced the restau- rant would be relocating, the community feared it meant the end of the long-standing mecca of food, drinks, and entertainment in Miami Beach. At its final blowout celebration on July Fourth, Donall vowed to bring it back at "a bigger lo- cation that has a hotel and make it an LGBTQ center."

Earlier this month, he made good on his prom- ise, re-opening Palace in a new home right on Ocean Drive. He had spent months driving up and down Ocean Drive on his scooter, talking to property owners. He had even considered spots off Ocean Drive, but realized they wouldn't do. "If I took Palace off the Drive, it wouldn't be the same Palace." The space he chose was one of the first locations he looked at. "It's perfect. It's a much larger space with indoor and outdoor seating areas and a front patio with awnings that will allow the queens to perform like nev- er before." That's a big statement, considering an average weekend at the old Palace involved queens doing flips and splits in the street and

running marathons in the park. BAR PHOTO PROVIDED BY PALACE

Back then there were no restaurants on Ocean $ Drive. Everyone thought Palsar was crazy to introduce one, but Palsar 14.95/mo. called 1200 Ocean Drive his "little slice of heaven."
