'Sex Change
Georgia Ann Kutulas
She did it and she’s glad!
Interviewing Mrs. Geor
gia Ann Kutulas, owner of
the Basement Lounge in
Columbus, Georgia, was an
experience in itself. It takes .
a lot of courage for anyone *
to undergo surgery, but it
takes even more for a man
to have the sex change ope
ration. Georgia Ann is, a
pleasant, soft spoken fe
male, and would like to
caution our readers that
if they may be interested
in such an operation, first
see a reputable Psychia
trist; then have a com
plete medical check up for
hormone balance etc.,., it
took three years of pre
paration, psychiatric eva
luation, hormone treat
ments, thought pattern
changes, for Georgia Ann
to become the woman she
is today.
The operation was per
formed at Stanford Uni
versity in California. All
total, it cost only $5,000
Previous to this, Georgia
Ann had posed for young
held the 1969 Miss Gay
San Francisco title, but
her employment was ter
minated shortly after when
it was discovered that she
was taking hormones.
She is a Sagittarius, and
enjoys swimming, occas
ional horse back riding,
and just lounging around,
watching TV. Her favorite
personality is La Verne
Cummings, a female im
personator that has been
performing at Finnochios
for the past 15yea£S. When
asked her greatest ambi
tion, Georgia Ann had to
stop and think. It had been
to become a real woman.
This has been accompli
shed. Life has been kind
to her, she went one step
further; she is a mother
of a 20 month baby girl
that she and hubby George
have legally adopted, and
love dearly.
Thank you Georgia, for
your exclusive interview with
the Barb. We wish you and
yours much happiness.

Club in Memphis on May
3,. The theme will be “The
Legend Of The Captive
Empress. Costumes are
the best effort yet, and
that’s progress consider
ing -- these costumes are
not drag, but parade cos
tumes, as those associated
with Mardi Gras. The 1974
Bourbon St. award went to
one of the TQM’s members,
and an honorable mention to
another member -- so
that’s the type of costume
to expect to see during the
pageant.
Minimum attire for the
pageant will be black or
dark blue suits, white shirt
with black tie for the gen
tlemen and cocktail gowns
for the ladies. Tickets will
not be available at the door
(but in some local loun
ges that evening), and
there should be no reserva
tion worries as the Club
Paradise seats more
than 1,000.
Activities will be plen
tiful during the weekend
with the Memphis lounges
featuring special shows, etc.
More detailed informa
tion will be forthcoming in
next month’s issue of the
Atanta Barb.
