Brandy Lee is back for one night of risqu? entertainment in Waikiki
Brandy Lee remembers the glory days, decades ago in San Francisco, when a limousine was her standard mode of transportation, lines for her shows stretched around the block and fans loved her so much that they tried to tear off pieces of her clothing or hair for souvenirs.
