Trantasia is a fabulous, fascinating documentary now available on DVD about a transsexual beauty pageant that was held in Las Vegas where over two dozen entrants competed for the title “World’s Most Beautiful Transsexual” and the opportunity to perform in a showgirl revue. Bay Times caught up with three of the contestants profiled in the film – local entrant Cassandra, Erica and Maria – and asked them about their lives, clothes, and mission.
(Bay Times) Can you each please tell me about your background – where are you from, where you live now, and what you do.
(Cassandra) I was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa. I was like a country girl. I left at 18. I now reside in San Francisco, where I work in shows, and perform. I do high end cabaret.
