BookPage Nonfiction Review:Hiding My Candy To describe The Lady Chablis as merely a drag queen is to minimize her talents somehow-she's blessed with a gift of the gab the likes of which you might not have encountered lately in print. The Lady Chablis first achieved widespread notoriety as one of an eccentric cast of Savannah characters in John Berendt's Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. The whole is punctuated by euphemism and an at-times startling in-your-face attitude-a coping mechanism that has served Chablis, twice marginalized on account of both her race and gender. www.bookpage.com /9608bp/nonfiction/hidingmycandy.html   (330 words)

TLC is the only real person to play herself) is something to be seen, but Cranky would have preferred to swap at least one scene's emphasis from TLC to Mandy. www.crankycritic.com /archive/midnightinthegarden.html   (809 words)

When the book kicks into high gear you feel as at ease in the gay bars that Lady Chablis has entertained in as well as behind bars where she found herself rightly, wrongly, indifferently.

:: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil (xhtml) My guess is that the Lady Chablis would be well known to the black middle class of Savannah (where everybody knows everybody), and the blank stares she gathers make you realize the scene lacks setup, purpose and payoff. Still, I enjoyed the movie at a certain level simply as illustration: I was curious to see the Lady Chablis, and the famous old Mercer House where the murders took place, and the Spanish moss. She has some one-liners that are real zingers, but her big scene--crashing the black debutante ball to embarrass Kelso--is a scene so lacking in focus and structure that it brings the movie to a halt. rogerebert.suntimes.com /apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19971121/REVIEWS/711210303/1023   (955 words)

Lust Magazine - What's tucked away in "The Locked Drawer"? This autobiography, written by the infamous transvestite The Lady Chablis, is a damn fine piece of literature. The Lady is renowned for her stage shows, TV spots, and most importantly, for her role in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, the book and the movie. Her tendencies are clearly there from the beginning of her life; her feminine attitudes and cross-dressing began early in life, in a small town where another like her was no where to be found. www.sataniclust.com /tld_book_chablis_hidingcandy.htm   (461 words)

The Austin Chronicle Screens: Video Reviews The Lady Chablis, a local drag entertainer, has her moment in the sun playing herself — a screamingly funny pre-op transsexual whose relation to the actual story is very slim. Law is talented, but is not rough-looking enough for the small role, and never, ever approaches believability as a hard-drinking, small-time drug-dealing boho Southern “trade.” The use of Savannah locals, sometimes playing themselves, is clever and entertaining. She does, however, manage to get a large share of screen time, including the funniest scene in the movie when she crashes a cotillion for black debutantes. www.austinchronicle.com /issues/dispatch/2001-07-13/screens_video.html   (541 words)
