On this episode of Beauty Translated, Carmen sits down with her childhood hero, Calpernia Addams to discuss her life and legacy. Calpernia takes us on a journey from her upbringing in the South to serving in the military and eventually becoming a Nashville showgirl in the 90s. The trajectory of her life took a tragic turn with the murder of her boyfriend Barry Winchell, which led her to move to Chicago and eventually meet Andrea James, with whom she started Deep Stealth Productions.

Calpernia shares stories about the making of the movies "Soldier's Girl" and "Transamerica," her viral YouTube videos "Bad Questions to Ask a Transsexual," and her hit single "Stunning." She also discusses her music and life today with her six pet birds.
