Today in Labor History April 22 April 22, 1946: Writer and director, John Waters, was born. Among his many classic films are his early low budget trash films, staring Divine, like Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, and Polyester (filmed in “odoroma” with scratch and sniff cards). His later, higher budget films include Pecker, Dirty Shame, Cecil B. Demented, and Hairspray. In the Cockettes documentary, he said the famous drag performers were an early influence on his films.

The Wild Hunt News

We need to be queer-as-f**k in the face of overwhelming oppression. Those of us who feel called to be visible can stand as lights for those trapped in the darkness of their closets. We will meet fear with pride, and a healthy dose of fabulous silliness. Because silly is a superpower.

don't panic!

I'm someone who thinks smiling when posing for photos is hackneyed & I much prefer a frown, a scowl or some other expression of emotion not immediately thought of when being photographed. When we were just about to pose for the photo, I asked him to scowl at the camera. He looked at me with a sense of disgust, scowled at the idea, then looked toward the photographer, who captured the moment perfectly. 2/2

Happy Birthday, John!

Wishing a happy 78th birthday to John Waters!

A bunch of years ago, I attended an art opening at a gallery in San Francisco that #JohnWaters held for his fine art. His social nature was in high gear that day, he was talking with everybody, all the while with a huge smile under his thin pencil mustache. I had the opportunity to speak with him that day, and at the end of the conversation, I asked if I could have my picture taken with him by a friend. "Of course" he beamed! 1/2
