Because I love LIC and Transgendered Films

A hot tip from one of my favorite "secret" web publications, The Nonsense List. I have French class until 9 on Wednesday, so afterwards I might be screenprinting in my kitchen with Angela or I might hot-foot it down to this truly entertaining cultural event. I don't know. What I do know is that this movie is a hell of a lot more interesting (and scandalous) than my crafting has ever been. I watched it with my aunt and uncle once, after babysitting my cousin, and I highly recommend watching a film of slightly pornographic nature with your older relatives.

Fat Lipstick Program at Flux Factory

Here's the guideline for this one-month long film program: bad taste,
saturated levels of color, heavy make-up, cartoonish characters,
theatrical violence, domineeringly psychosexual women, larger than
life pop art settings, and a healthy disregard for all forms of
authority: religious, moral, legal, political, and aesthetic
tradition. With popcorn.

This week: Female Trouble (1974) by John Waters. A high point in low
taste.
