[trans-temporial]

I love you Priscilla Queen of the Desert I love you But I’m A Cheerleader I love you Velvet Goldmine I love you To Wong Foo I love you Hedwig and the Angry Inch I love you queer movies from the 90s that are fun and camp and over the top with characters that are messy and loud and make mistakes. We’re getting fun movies back can we bring back these

One Dress a Day Challenge

November: Oscar Winners

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert / Hugo Weaving as Anthony "Tick" Belrose (Mitzi Del Bra)

Year: 1994

Designer: Tim Chappel and Lizzy Gardiner

In a movie full of flamboyant costumes, this minidress adorned with pink and orange flip-flops definitely stands out for its original materials. It's got a definite 1960s vibe, between the length, the colors, and the "pop art" feel to it. Accessories include matching earrings, knee-high "gladiator" sandals, a cotton-candy-pink wig, and many large rings.

This was the first movie I ever saw Hugo Weaving in, so he wasn't cemented as "Agent Smith" in my mind, as he seems to have been for those who first encountered him in The Matrix. Consequently, I had no trouble shifting to viewing him as Elrond in the LOTR movies.

We need more drag queen road trip movies like we had in the 1990s but this time get real drag queens. Films like "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" (1994) and "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar" (1995) were weird and fun and poignant.

This means so, so much to me. Priscilla was so formative for me in my young years figuring myself out. I am so ready for this.

Ok as important as it is for you to know who Neil Patrick Harris is - I just realized from that video post, there's SO much more delightful historically Queer media to show you!

Have you seen Hedwig and the Angry Inch? Rocky Horror Picture Show? Priscilla Queen of the Desert? But I'm a Cheerleader??

I could stream things in your honor all year! (Not to get ahead of myself but also please oh please let me show you at least some episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer!!)

<3 your adoptive Feral Fandom Aunt

I have not even heard of all of those things. Except for Rocky Horror Picture Show. I've heard those words used in that order at least once in my life. I have no clue where.

Weeeeeeeelll Strumpet, as my feral aunt, I believe you'll have to settle in for the long haul, because we have very, very many streams ahead of us, it appears. And yes of course you can show me anything you like that's what I'm here for to be educated in the Real Things.

My Reign of Dumbassery is only beginning. Beware, world.
