Showgirl extraordinaire Kak Nina Boo was once told that she was not pretty enough, but she has since outlived all her naysayers to become one of Singapore's most beloved drag icons. The Tanglin Halt native and former girlfriend of Sang Nila Utama takes us back to a time when she waited tables and performed at the Boom Boom Room, and when police raids were all the rage at Changi Point. She also shows us who the real Nina is under all that makeup - an introvert with a penchant for horror flicks and an enduring beauty that transcends the stage.
