Trannys to Tiaras!

For readers fortunate enough to have happened on Robin Anderson's book LA DI DA DI BLOODY DA!
the main characters in this wonderfully irreverent farce will be unforgettably familiar - our own Miz Miranda
Maracona and her compatriot transvestite Mis Kookie Kombuis - and the tale they weave this time takes
camp and drag and ludicrous situations from their MK Agency (servicing special clients with special
desires)in London to the exotic sounding Nambia. This time it is a diamond caper (Carol Channing would
be proud!) and the story is equally as outrageous and as the forerunner in this series.
Anderson understands that fine line between comic bliss and lack of taste, and while he allows these absurdly loveable transvestite characters to get as down and dirty as the e=English language will allow, he never steps over the threshold of impropriety. How he accomplishes this is a major conundrum, but funny he is and a fine writer he is and it is everyone's bet that he continues along this route for books to come.

"TRANNYS TO TIARAS! Where LA DI DA DI BLOODY DA! Ends Another Outrageous
Tale Begins!"
Amos Lassen - "Right Place, Wrong Time"
Yes, yes I know the title is very long but this is a big book–519 pages. However, it reads very quickly and I suspect that is because it is not only well written but a lot of fun. I actually read the entire book yesterday afternoon and I am still thinking about it. I am a real Robin Anderson fan and the only problem I have with him is that he writes too many books too quickly. I never have to worry about when a new one is coming out because I usually get one before I have a chance to worry.
With this being a sequel to "La Di Da Di Bloody Da", I was already familiar with the characters, Miranda Maracona and Kookie Kombuis (oops, I should have put "Miz" in front of their names but I am sure they will forgive me because I am going to say nice things about them). They are tranny heroines and are now involved in a diamond smuggling caper. However, some funny things happened on the way to the caper that takes them around the world from London to Namibia and they manage to get into all kinds of trouble and all because they were in the right place at the wrong time or was it the wrong place at the right time? It really makes no difference just so they keep us laughing.
Anderson's trannys are larger than life and so are their adventures. They are totally outrageous yet it is their outrageousness that allows them to deal with the people they meet–from Svetlana to wicked to HIV (Henry I. Victor), the nasty double dealer and Pedro Gonzales (el Senor), a devious evil smiling drug dealer. Let me just say that this is a helluva fun read and I do not want to give anything away to spoil your fun. Robin Anderson is not only a writer he is a total experience. You will never look at transvestites in the same way again.

ROBIN ANDERSON'S latest hilarious 'erotic romance' novel, TRANNYS TO TIARAS (SILVER PUBLISHING) is, to my mind, his funniest and wittiest yet. It features his 'divoon' creations Miz Miranda Maracona and Miz Kookie Kombuis, 2 outrageous transvestite 'private dicks' who double handedly put the kibosh on diamond smugglers in South Africa and drug runners in South America whilst wearing vertiginous heels and designer frox. They meet all sorts of other outrageous characters along the way, including a rather different type of 'boy band' and visit such hot spots - or should I say wet spots - as the Victoria Falls where oops! Kookie nearly gets pushed in by one of the horrid baddies....but I won't spoil the story for you, avid ROBIN ANDERSON fans....

I read and was utterly charmed and entertained by the first adventures of Miz M and Miz K in "La Di Da Di Bloody Da!", so I indulged myself again with "Trannys to Tiaras!" In the continued escapades of the dynamic duo - and the assorted, and wild cast of characters - I once more found myself joyously immersed in another of Robin Anderson's stories. And while I was completely satisfied, the hint of more to come was just the icing on the cake.
