Brandy Lee is one of the most exciting personalities to emerge on the Atlanta show scene in many a moon. . . I say the Atlanta scene as I have seen her at the ONYX. Really she is in town after just opening the club in Boston and now is rehearsing for the Atlanta opening of CABARET AFTER DARK. “I‘m very excited about being in Atlanta, everyone is so friendly, I think they like me,” she beamed brushing her long flowing lock from her beautiful tan face. ‘Tve sang at the Onyx, Roski Fernandies is my friend. We knew each other on the islands. One nite she asked me on stage. I didn't want to go up there, but I‘m so glad I did, I sang and they liked me.” She kind of giggled. . .Liked her, they loved her. I know what she imeant, not having her music and all ... A quietness fell over the place as she sang. “I‘ve never mimed, see I was trained in Honolulu, Hawaii when I worked with the community theatre groups. . . I did West Side Story, Showboat, no, no I did the boy bit in those shows. . . I just never had the feel for pantomine. Then I joined the show at the Glades there and came to Los Angeles state side. I love it.” In 1970 Brandy was appear ing at the Redwood Bar in Los Angeles, it was a famous show bar and I visited it and was just crushed not to find JUDY GARLAND there, a favorite hang out of hers. While in LA she won the “Internaional Show Queen Crown” and ‘‘Miss National Cotillian Queen.” Last year when BRANDY LEE walked on stage in New York revealing her obvious bosoms in a very slinky gown and belting out “Maybe this Time” she left a cheering audience and walked away with the title “MISS DAVID 1973.” “MAKE MINE BRANDY” opened in Boston at the Cabaret to smash reviews. . . she was their darling, and that's great in Boston. The review will be the same extravaganza type show, when they open. . . She has been invited out to Denver by the Political Movement Club for the Empress Ball later this month. Brandy Lee, Shawn (“Miss Gay America”), and Roski Fernandes (“Miss Club South 1974 ”), are really three great (pineapples) when they getr together, like they did at Roski's homecoming. . . Watch THE BARB for the opening of Cabaret. See the show and you‘11 be yelling “MAKE MINE BRANDY TOO.” —Phyllis Killer THE VOICE OF THE GAY COMMUNITY - SERVING THE SOUTHEAST AND THE NATION Vol. 2 No. 3 PUBLISHED IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA 25 cents
