The Virgin Daiquiri

When endlessly sunny, barmaid, Mary Kay and Avon cosmetic rep and yes - virgin - Daiquiri La Bouquet, is accused by her devious mother, Vivian, of attempted murder, Daiquiri flees her island home for another island...Manhattan, in search of two things: her biological father who Vivian drunkenly teased is "the richest man in New York City," and the storied man who will be "her first." While New York can be a tough town, Daiquiri quickly lands a job at Tigress, a bar catering to the trans and cross-dressing community, where everyone fall in love with the hard-working, quirky Daiquiri. With the help of Tigress's owner, Mercury, Daiquiri finds a place to live with Johnny, the handsome, brooding Tigress bartender and boytoy for Marilyn Hansen - wife of successful businessman, Schmitt Hansen - who Johnny hopes will back him in a business venture. And while Daiquiri can't help but be drawn to Johnny's handsome moodiness, she's equally attracted to the gorgeous, flirtatious Brett, co-owner of the local coffeehouse she stops by daily. While Daiquiri fantasizes that either Brett or Johnny will be "her first," her less-than-scientific investigation into the identity of her biological father leads her to believe that Alex Comier, a mega-handsome, mega-successful businessman is the man her mother slept with 24 year ago in the back of a cab. But when Daiquiri convinces one of the lonely transsexuals to allow her to give her a makeover, toning down her harsh makeup and giving her a softer, more feminine look, the results are astounding! Daiquiri quickly finds herself in demand as the makeover star of the trans community! What she doesn't expect is that all of these pieces will collide in a crazy series of events that could only happen in New York City, leading her to not only regretfully discover her biological father but to happily realize that man she wants to be 'her first' is not who she expected at all! But just as Daiquiri's life is falling place, her mother, Vivian, and Trueblood, the island police captain, catch up Daiquiri and she is arrested for the attempted murder, leading to a court battle where Daiquiri believes she can prove her innocence and an unexpected ally comes to her aid and proves he's more than a gross disappointment. This hilarious and heartfelt tale of charm and perseverance is in the vein of LEGALLY BLONDE and LIFE AND OTHER NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES, told in the unique and wonderful first-person voice of Daiquiri herself. This is a journey of a person searching for so many pieces missing in her life but finding the one she never expected...herself.
