The New York socialite and entertainer has made a career of her looks and couture. Photographers squabble to flash her picture and crowds line up to marvel at her beauty, but this Amanda Lepore is far different from the person she intended to be when she decided to become a girl.
With a rare appearance and performance slated for Folsom Fair Weekend in San Francisco in September, I caught up with Lepore, the Diva, to speak to her about Amanda, the Woman, and how her world came to be, her new single "Turn Me Over," her friendship with Cazwell, and her getting into film and television.
