By Fiona Mallratte

Synopsis: Cartoonist Steve Lafler presents Tranny vixen Fiona Mallratte in a hilarious new book, wherein she holds forth on "The $99.00 Drag Makeover" and getting all dolled up for Halloween.
She also asks the eternal question: "Aren't superheroes just a bunch of Trannys?!"
Fiona appears on the “redlafler” YouTube channel, with over 200,000 video views and counting.

Ms. Fiona Mallratte considers the transcendent thrill of drag to be equal, at the very least, to the exotic rush experienced by Spider Man or Batman as they boldly take the city at night.

She holds that most anybody, male or female, can be transformed into a glamorous goddess with a simple $99.00 Dollar Drag Makeover.

Special Notes: Fiona Mallratte has never been seen in the same room with cartoonist Steve Lafler (Bughouse, Dog Boy).

Tranny got a review in Booklist (the magazine of the American Library Association) as follows:

The Web site for this sassy collection says that Mallratte and graphic novelist Steve Lafler (Bughouse, 2000; Baja, 2002; Scalawag, 2005; 40 Hour Man, 2006) have never been seen together. Yet they share the book’s copyright. Say, you don’t suppose . . . ? Well, anyway, the lead story, “Drunken Lady,” discloses that Fiona is actually a guy named Pete, who, as a preschooler, discovered a passion for wearing women’s clothing that he describes with shameless delight and augments with a four-page transvestite-superhero coda. Next up are four photos of Fiona in her finest, with captions including thanks to “my generous, understanding wife.” As for the other three stories, “Jimmie Ogler, Supergal’s Slave” is a fan-boy heart-warmer if ever there was one; “Halloween Mash-Up” shows a tranny’s night out, complete with wolf; and the long, ludicrous, but hip “Cat Suit” is a non-cross-dressing costume caper with a transvestite sting at the end. The black-and-white art (sure looks like Lafler’s cartoony urban realism) complements the campy dialogue mahhhvelously, dahling.
