she’s fabulous...and,
she was a boy, but who cares...
One of my longime friends has definitely made good. Back in the day we could see Ms. CANDIS CAYNE on stage at MILK (one of the events i threw in NY) or around town dancing her beautiful ass off.
For many years her and sister (not really sister, but u know)....LINA
Would tear up the club scene dance floors and stages with unforgettable, unmatched performances.
Which she still does from time to time.
Early on u knew who the stars were. Lina was in the major motion picture WOO with Jada Pinkett Smith.
Then there’s the time Lina, Candis and Laritza gave 3 very famous actors their lessons in womanhood for TOO WONG FOO....who else could possible teach John Leguizamo, Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes how 2 do proper drag performance??? Well drag is way behind this diva. BTW, Lina always hated being put in those categories too...and know both of them are proper Ladies so there’s no need for such carryings ons....lol
However, in the mass market, when u used 2 be a boy and are now a irl...they cast u as
The Tranny Lover 2 Billy Baldwin...and this Wednesday primetime showis definitely the greatest accomplishment from the aforementioned group, at least in SHOW BIZ.
And i am so happy for her.
I eagerly await where this ride is gonna take Candis...
on her myspace page many transgendered people are professing how much it means to them as well.
If you are wondering why...just read the Bio below....
This show is important and happy and scandalous and witty and well, just fun...Great show

Brief Synopsis
As a boy, Nick George watched his father surrender his freedom and family as the trusted consigliere to the absurdly rich Darlings of New York City. Nick grew up being second to the overpowering family. Burned by his boyhood encounters with them, the idealistic Nick did a 180 degree turn and became a lawyer for the disadvantaged. After the death of his father, family patriarch Tripp Darling offers Nick the opportunity to inherit the responsibility of being the family lawyer and protecting the Darlings' secrets. But the ungodly salary that will allow Nick the freedom to be an altruistic do gooder is only part of the picture....
