'Carlos Batts strikes again. I know of no other photographer who can shoot such a bizarre and powerful blend of lifestyle and eroticism. Batts transports us to a Hollywood fraught with erotic contrasts: exciting bikini-clad girls, nude devils, gorgeous transvestites, shameless exhibitionists. Many of his creative ideas are downright attacks against the conformist, bourgeois tastes of the conservative masses. This is a book for everyone who’s open and uninhibited, and who occasionally enjoys seeing eroticism in the arts as an explosive mixture.” Matthias Reuss, publisher
