Trust me when I say you will NEVER be able to think of the Hookey Pokey the same way again!!!!!!!!

Wasn't it fabulous?! I haven't laughed so hard since I saw Desperate Living when I was thirteen.

"Perverts are takin' over this neighborhood..."

I met John when he did a show here a couple of months ago, he's the nicest fellow. I got him to sign my "Trash Trio" book (scripts for Pink Flamingos, the unfilmed sequel to it, and Female Trouble) and my Polyester Odor-Rama card.

How did I know that you would love these movies ? I can't remember where I saw your post with the Desperate Living quotes...but OMG, those Grizelda lines...other than my closest friends, no one I know has ever quoted the handbag and tampax lines. SO damned funny.

Mink lives very near me, and I met her last summer while she was judging the Queen of Silverlake pagaent. She is such a hoot. One of my friends sees her all the time in her Curves class. How rich is that ?

I know. Desperate Living is my favorite Waters flick. The lines from that movie are just as funny each time you watch it.

"I'm out here working my ass off all day and you're out here f*ckin' midgets!"
"Bitch at the air, bitch at the tree, but PLEASE, don't bitch AT US!"
"Get it, Peggy, get it!"
"DOWN, BOY, DOWN, DOWN!"
"I ain't your maid anymore, bitch, I'm your sista in crime!"
"I've got a Barbie doll crotch!"

And that ending where they kill Mink, OMG, that's hysterical.

Your friend should go up to her and say "Pussywillows, Dotty."

One of my fav. exchanges EVER in a move was:

EDNA: Ooh, Tracy, what do you think about this one?

TRACY: I like it.

EDNA: Oh, Wilbur would kill us if we spent that much money.

PINKY: You look gorgeous, Bertha, simply exquisite!

BERTHA: Oh, I don't know, Pinky.

PINKY: Have an eclair. Eat up girls, eat up. Big is beautiful. Tracy Turnblad! Welcome to the Hefty Hideaway House of Fashion for the ample woman. Hi, I'm Mr. Pinky.

TRACY: Hi.

EDNA: Mr. Pinky, I'm Tracy's business manager, Edna Turnblad.

PINKY: Well, it's a pleasure to meet the both of you. Here, we cater to the big-boned gals like yourself who are stylish and at the same time frustrated by the lack of sizes in the department stores today. I saw you on TV. I want you to be my model!

EDNA: Would she be paid for this?

PINKY: One free outfit a month. You start tomorrow. I hope there's no diets in the works because I want to design your Miss Auto Show coronation gown myself!

EDNA: Could you throw in a couple of complimentary pettipants in the deal?

PINKY: You drive a hard bargain, Miss Edna, and rightfully so. Pettipants, pettigirdle, you just let Tracy take her pick.

EDNA: How about a fabulous frock just for me?

PINKY: Tracy'll have to work one extra day for free.

EDNA: It's a deal! Thank you, Mr. Pinky!

PINKY: Ha ha ha. I'm going to make you a star!

That whole scene was BRILLIANTLY played by Divine AND Waters actually used the word "pettipants" -- I laugh out loud in my car by myself sometimes when I think of this scene from Hairspray

Not only does she go there, but she was stunned and amazed that people recognized her and wanted to talk to her. About 7 years ago, I rented a house that she had just looked at in the same neighborhood as Curves. Very small world. By all accounts, she is humble and totally cool....
