Published to coincide with her 60th birthday, this is an exciting new book about the life of Carlotta, the Balmain-born boy who had Australia's first sex-change operation and became the legend of the all-male review Les Girls. She is the self-styled "Queen of the Cross".
Written by PR suprema and fellow 'Beauty And The Beast' personality Prue MacSween, Carlotta's trademark warmth, humour and honesty shine through in her story: the unsettled childhood, her transition to drag queen and the sex-change operation, her relationships with fellow artists and lovers, and her 12-year marriage.
This is also the story of Les Girls, the world-famous drag queen cabaret based in Kings Cross. The book relives the glamour of the old Cross - the most interesting people lived and partied there, and the best place to be seen or get smashed was undoubtedly Les Girls! However, there were sinister elements too, with Carlotta recalling ugly stories of Mafia types getting rough with the drag queens.
'I'm Not That Kind Of Girl' is a fascinating, hilarious and sometimes moving journey through Carlotta's extraordinary life.
