Industry Reviews "A brassy, forthright autobiography from the flamboyant, cross-dressing black diva....A funny, combative walk on the wild side, told with tremendous heart and charm." Kirkus Reviews (06/01/1996)
"As [John] Berendt pointed out to [Lady Chablis], 'The dresses and the dancing are okay, but your mouth is what's made you popular.' This autobiography appears to have plenty of mouth." Washington Post Book World (08/18/1996)
"This account--half in Chablis' sassy dialect, half in co-author Theodore Bouloukos' almost comically sober prose--is more introspective than we might expect. Chablis' story is brave as well as outrageous....And, yes, the 'candy' of the title is just what you think it is." Los Angeles Times Book Review - Michael Harris (11/03/1996)
