A different soul in Savannah
Review by Sukey Howard
"You can tell straight folks anythingÉ" and that's just what The Lady Chablis, with a little help from Theodore Bouloukis, does in Hiding My Candy. Born Benjamin Edward Knox, the self-styled "Grand Empress of Savannah," a.k.a. "The Doll" and/or "Your Mama," lets it all hang out -- or in -- in this no-holds-barred autobiography by the black drag queen who was featured in John Berendt's mega-bestseller, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Or, as Chablis would put it, provided the kinky background and the two best chapters in the book. The Lady reads; no one else could.
