Also
on a Sad note DITA wants to say 'REST IN PEACE' to Actor; ANTHONY HEAD who
played; 'GILES' on DITA's Favorite Show; 'BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER'.
He was very talented and had a great Singing voice which was hear in the Infamous 'ONCE MORE W/FEELING', Musical-Episode. Listen to the Song he sang called;' STAY' here> https://youtu.be/oltdYg3Fzbc?si=xaZbsDEhkQTXlJit
Also this w/Sarah Michelle Gellar> https://youtu.be/ZWhSk_V4OEw?si=ijR1tFumbhg1B3Vi
Now
DITA once saw; 'POLYESTER' on the 'Big-Screen' during a past Gay-Pride and hopes
the 'NEW BEVERLY CINEMA' will bring it back sometime this year.
It was shown w/'SERIAL MOM'> https://youtu.be/Ut9GvlhB9f4?si=AnLg_lMQ2U3CzND_
Now
DITA wants to tell you that my favorite Culty-character in this film that
'tit-a-lates' me to the full-moon and back is Divine Daughter LU LU!
Here is a picture of her, the ultimate Party-Girl; 'LU-LU' from the Movie.
DITA wants to be LU LU, just so you know!
But
First the film starts out w/DIVINE's character who can sniff out anything, uh,
literally in 'ODOR-RAMMA'.
See here about that Babe> https://youtu.be/VnvYhhd4tSU?si=dFaPYfJDt19lPg40
BTW; Before DITA forgets, here is one of the Movie-Posters for; 'POLYESTER'
DITA loves this Flick so much that when I went to see it at; 'THE NEW BEVERLY CINEMA', they handed out 'oderama cards' w/a movie poster-pic on one side and 'scratch and sniff' card on the flip-side.
Well
DITA saved that poster card and recently had it mad into a T-Shirt for myself,
and may even wear it this Halloween.
BTW; Here is that lobby-card I had made into a T-Shirt
A
Sign in a business window during 'Gay-Pride' here, where everyone Celebrates!
Well Kids, DITA can't tell you how much I love this
'CULT-COMEDY'; 'POLYESTER! It remains one of my favorite Flicks to this day!
DITA thinks it's one of the movies you throw on when your feeling blue or bored
and it immediately transports you to a fun, culty fantasy world that can 'only'
live in the Brilliant mind of JOHN WATERS!
This Film starts out w/one FRANCINE FISHPAW. A Mother of two, uh, three if you
count their beloved dog and a house-wife. What if anything could go wrong you
may ask w/this idealic family life in this culty-culdesac?? Well for starters,
she married to a big oaf who doesn't appreciate her 'AND' he's an Owner of a
'PORNO-THEATER'. DITA worked in a 'Gay-Porno Theater' once, for real my little
'Spider-Bites'. But I digress! LOL!
Back to my Review, Hon! Her 'cheatin-heart', Husband is also
sleeping w/his Secretary, played by the marvelous MINK STOLE. Talk about
stereotypes! Also, before DITA forgets, I want to say this is one of my favorite
parts I've seen the Late DIVINE play and plays well I might add, Dahling! DIVINE
btw will never be forgotten because of her great comic-timing and acting. Also
few know that 'DIVINE' was a CLUB-SINGER and had many Culty Club hits>
https://youtu.be/xeTz0mrUFmQ?si=0jJZs6mngudjHve4
DITA wants to let you know that my favorite character is the Actress who plays
her fun/wild party-girl Daughter named 'LU-LU'. Why, you may ask? Well where do
I start?
My favorite thing about her is the way she 'dance-walks' into any room, lies
about everything, dates a 'bad-boy' named BO-BO and makes her dad blush With
lines like; 'WE LEARNED ALL ABOUT MY CERVIX TODAY IN SCHOOL'. Also when asked
how she afforded something without a job by her Mother, she responds by telling
her she dances lewdly on the lunch-table for the boys and that she's gonna quit
school to become a 'go-go- dancer at the 'flaming-lounge'>
https://youtu.be/DtLz_1Q3EhM?si=3yFDXaCu_SdNk0Rd When her Mother
Francine asks her why she got 'all' F's on her report card, 'LU-LU' responds;
'Awwh, they changed the Grading System and now 'F' is for Fantastic>
https://youtu.be/jyyuCRR_YrA?si=W6AglGMoQ2RI5Z-c
DITA also loves it when LU-LU's mad at her mother weirdly albeit comedically
stomps up their stairs to her room, heavy on the drama as my good friend 'Dougie-Fresh'
from my hometown and Spanish Class pointed out to me when we watched back in the
80's. DITA also has to tell you that 'all' DIVINE'S Films are lewdly enjoyed by
DITA's good-friend; 'THE DIL-DOE LADY and her Artist-Hubby; ANDY!
Pretty quickly we find out 'LU-LU' is sneaking around behind her mothers back to see bad-boy; 'BO-BO!' In fact once when she sneaks out to meet him she slinks-up to her 'fake-date' and cooes; 'HI F-R-E-D-D-Y!' She does all this to meet 'BO-BO' and drive off yelling; Woo-hoo and drinking beer In short ,everything she does it super-dramatic and high-camp, my little 'coffin-creepers!'
Next we have Francines B.F.F.; 'CUDDLES, who used to be a Maid but her Employer left her all her money and now she wants to be an Official 'Old Deputante', PLAYED TO THE HILT' by EDITH MASSEY! Lastly but not leastly we have FRANCINE's Son, who is a secretive 'FOOT-STOMPER' aka 'MR. FOOT-FETISH'> https://youtu.be/JzY82ypKopo?si=WQ_gQu3Z4L4guG2e
It all starts going down hill for Francine/DIVINE, when she finds out her 'big-oaf' husband is sneaking around w/his secretary at a sleezy-motel and goes w/'CUDDLES' to confront him and his floozy Mink Stole and Divine even breaks the door down and takes Polaroids of them in the act of adultery and tells him she wants a divorce. BTW; DITA forgot to mention Francine's Evil Mother, who also treats her badly and even goes so far as to walk right in on Francine while she's on the toilet and states that; 'I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU EVEN BOTHER! YOU'VE ALWAYS RETAINED YOUR FLUIDS!' LOL! Long Story short, her mother is in cahoots w/Francines later on in the story's Boyfriend; TODD, played well by TAB HUNTER to try and get Francine's Divorce settlement money w/him.
Also one Halloween her Mother is attacked by angry 'trick-or-treaters', cuz she forgot to get candy> https://youtu.be/faZWL3iV9PA?si=vuyO1WGmtHUKlUty So one of them is found out to be BO-BO, 'LU-LU'S' Bad to the core forbidden boyfriend. She shoots him and kills him and quickly there after LU-LU'; walk in to find him dead. This is of course after she has gotten pregnant w/his child but then had to go to a school for 'unwed-pregnant wayward girls' and learns 'mac-kruh-may' and only uses it for evil just once, by strangling her Fathers Slutty Secretary.
Meanwhile her Brother has 'foot-stomped' his way thru
Baltimore, then caught and arrested and sent to prison, turned his rage into
art. What, did he learn to paint, you may ask?
Feet, of course, Silly! Also in between all these funny/'hey-nuss' things
happening, DITA will just say that after Francine's fake-boyfriend/TAB HUNTER ,
who btw , was banging her old-ass evil mother are both ,shall I say; 'TAKEN-CARE
OF' by accident by Francine's BESTIE; 'CUDDLES' and her new Fiance; Hines, uh,
her limo-driver.
This story is long but hysterical thru-out but DITA will 'try' to put it into my
infamous; 'DITA-THINGS-TO-LOOK-FOR-LIST' as Follows;
*Scene where Francine/DIVINE meets her fake- coke-sniffing
boyfriend at a 'car-accident' scene where a decapitated head lays at their feet
while they flirt. 'HOW ROMANTIC SAYS DITA! LOL!
*ALL SCENES W/LU-LU! Where she says things like; 'I'M GOING
TO GET AN ABORTION, MOTHER!' And when her mother asks her while leaving. Does
she have 15 cents for a phone call home, 'LU-LU' answers by turning around in
the front yard, thrust her hips forward and shouting; 'I SURE DO!' DITA LOVES
THAT!
*Scene where Francine/DIVINE goes shopping w/Bff; 'CUDDLES'
and because Francine ends up being a big alcoholic, she throws up in her own
purse, while 'CUDDLES' tries on Debutante Dress and rips them cuz she's too phat.
Needless to say, they are asked to leave the store.
*Scene where Francine's son gets sexually-aroused looking at
feet in sears catalogue.
*Scene where they finally have 'CUDDLES' 'Coe-til-yun'.
*Scene where FRANCINE/DIVINE Fantasies while sleeping about
getting plowed but good by a pizza-boy ,all while rubbing her big breast while
still sleeping. DITA LOVES IT AND PIZZA!
*Scene where Francines Faux Boyfriend;
TODD/Tab Hunter along w/her Evil-Mother drive poor FRANCINE crazy, so they can
put her in the 'looney-bin' and steal her divorce-money.
*Scene where 'BO-BO' & 'LU-LU' drive wreck less and hit a
'church-lady' with a broom on her ass and that lady first calls them; 'CRAZY
CRACKERS', then commandeers a bus to chase them down and rips off their car-door
scaring them to death, Hon>
https://youtu.be/k_iQykgS2RQ?si=w-BKQ6JVYF3JG6Dp
*Final Scene at the end of this fun Flick , where DITA says
all works out in the most violent way possible in a literal 'cul-de-sac!'
