Paving the way for today's "trans revolution," Amanda is one of the world's most famous transsexuals. In this poignant and revealing memoir, Amanda takes off the makeup, peels back the silicone, and reveals to the world the woman she truly is, all with a sense of divine certainty, humor, and charm. After transitioning at age seventeen, Lepore shed her troubled youth, escaped an abusive marriage, and recreated herself in the image of old Hollywood glamour. She worked as a dominatrix, performed at the Limelight, and had a close friendship with her one-time boss "Party Monster" Michael Alig. But, it was when pop culture visionary David LaChapelle walked into her life that she again transitioned, this time from a beautiful nightlife denizen with to an icon. LaChapelle's ingenious photographs made Lepore an international art, music, and fashion star." -- Publisher's description. 600 10 $a Lepore, Amanda. 650 0 $a Transgender people $v Biography $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Transgender artists $v Biography $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Performance artists $v Biography $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Celebrities $v Biography $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Celebrities $v Pictorial works. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Flannery, Thomas, $c Jr., $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20170913010130.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D13ABEAC984811E78C419DF896128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
