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.

A cis man playing a trans woman is problematic but I think Twin Peaks is the exception because it's the 90s and revolutionary and also Denise slayed.

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.

“I’ve heard it so many times – ‘I’ve got the bus!’ – that it gets boring,” says Stephan Elliott, the director and writer of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. When the History Trust got in touch to see if he could help verify the bus’s authenticity, he was sceptical.

“But I was astonished when they showed me the photos,” he says. “I said, ‘There’s two things I need to see: the carpet and if there is a side-railing on the roof.’ They sent more photos and I immediately said, ‘That’s it. You got her.’ My jaw was just on the ground.”

i love that their fundraiser to restore the bus is called Save the Queen
