This John Waters film is probably my least favorite. And it has nothing to do with the wacko dog death or the meat penis.
While I’m well aware that John Waters films are weird and contain a fair bit of shock, this was still just a miss for me. It seems sloppier than normal. I’d watch it again though haha.
I just love John Waters.

“Liz Renay was my idea of total glamour.” John Waters
Born on this day 96 years ago: the fabulous Liz Renay (néePearl Elizabeth Dobbins, 14 April 1926 - 22 January 2007) – b-movie actress / burlesque queen / convicted felon / naive outsider painter / gangster Mickey Cohen’s moll / “Streaking Grandmother” / authoress of multiple volumes of memoirs (including My Face for the World to SeeandHow to Attract Men) and all-round kitsch icon. For John Waters fans, Renay is adored for her performance as murderess Muffy St Jacques in punk masterpiece Desperate Living (1977) - especially for her acidic delivery of lines like, “I was having an erotic dream!” and “I sleep in the room next door - naked!”
