Fascinated
by the extensive cabaret scene in the city,
it was there that he started his luck in the
show business as a drag queen - interpreting
the role of Barbara Hitchcock alias Barbie,
the lovechild of Marilyn Monroe and John
F. Kennedy, who was sent to Mars to avoid
controversy, but eventually came back to earth.
Barbie then released one full album, which spawned
3 singles (Prostitution Twist, Johnny
Johnny and Rock It Up).

During
the process of recording a sophomore release
for Barbie, Alexander was accompanied
by Katanga and Farouk, later known
as La Camilla and Jean-Pierre Barda,
as well as the corpulent dancer Yazmina Chantal.
The four were brought together when introduced
by Sweden's leading fashion designer, Camilla
Thulin. Being competitors on the Scandinavian
club scene, they decided to hang together rather
than separately. The newly founded quartet released
two singles (Wham Bam and Barbie Goes
Around The World), but the album never saw
the light of the day. Instead Alexander, Jean-Pierre
and La Camilla formed a new group without Yazmina
- the Army of Lovers was born!
