Baby Dee, to put it mildly, is a massively hard sell. A 54-year-old male-to-female transsexual built like a rugby-union prop-forward (she's a former tree surgeon) and sporting a wild frizz of carrot curls, she plays perilously close to being disregarded as a Coney Island freak-show turn, which, indeed, she once was. That she named herself after a friend's neighbour's "retarded child" and has been championed, and produced, by Will Oldham (who has a perverse sense of humour at the best of times), also prompts a raising of the eyebrows.
