Showgirls(1995)
“Nomi (Elizabeth Berkley) arrives in Las Vegas with only a suitcase and a dream of becoming a top showgirl. She quickly befriends Molly (Gina Ravera), who works at the high-profile Stardust Hotel, and lands a job at a seedy strip club. A chance meeting with Cristal (Gina Gershon), the Stardust’s marquee dancer, and her powerful boyfriend, Zack (Kyle MacLachlan), brings Nomi one step closer to realizing her dream. But, as she ascends to the top, Nomi begins to wonder if it’s all worth it.
First of all, what the fuck? What the fuuuuck?
It’s problematic, for sure. From the creep men to the cattiness to the manipulation to the horrifying r*pe scene of the ONE good character. This film is something else. It should have been titled Tits and Abuse in Nevada. Truly, this piece was a mess. The ACTING! My gawd! Though Gina Gershon looked too freaking good. I couldn’t get over it and it’s probably the only reason I watched it all the way through. Do I get why it’s considered a cult classic? Yeah yeah yeah. This is one of those movies you only rewatch if you’re exposing it to someone else for the first time.
A memory from Folies Bergère in Paris ✨
When I there as guest star of @jpgfashionfreakshow , the @foliesbergere_officiel staff kindly showed me around, and patiently too! I couldn’t help but marvel at the history, savoring each detail, asking what was behind every locked door. I even went up on the roof, behind the glamorous facades to get glimpses of the original circa 1869 structure. (see photo 2)
A highlight was going into this dilapidated backstage area, where, once upon a time, they’d hoist the #showgirls to the stage through trap doors on these glitzy showponies. Seeing all the ways they’d bring the showgirls onto the stage, including through the ceiling, made my heart race! It would never be allowed now.
Tonight was meant to be the opening night of #Glamonatrix at #FoliesBergere ,and while I’m feeling sentimental for all the joys that showbiz brings us, I am also grateful that we have new dates to look forward to February 2021.
Sending lots of love and best wishes to all of you in Paris, and beyond. ✨✨
The new dates up are at teese.us/shows
We are still working on scheduling a few of the new shows, even adding some cities, so thank you for your patience. We hope to have more news soon.
