Starrbooty!
Last Thursday I attended the press screening for Starrbooty, a feature length resurrection of the blaxploitation-style series of low budget episodes made by RuPaul in the Eighties. Ru was there (and yes, he goes by Ru out of character, somewhat to my surprise) and was witty and effervescent, as always. He confessed an unhealthy degree of excitement for the Judge Judy show, but gave a great pre-screening interview. Quick, clever, and thoughtful, as all great queens must be to survive.
Joe from Joe.My.God was there, and gives a nice synopsis of the thing over at his place. My EIC and I enjoyed the film very much, as evidenced by our constant level of obnoxious laughter. No punches pulled, this is not the safe-for-radio-airplay Ru of the Nineties. She flexes all of her drag muscles, and the result, with stellar performances by Candis Cayne and Sweetie, is a wicked old-school romp through the Meatpacking District with a bunch of tranny hookers. Kind of makes you nostalgic. We'll be interviewing Ru for noiZe soon, stay tuned...
What is an EIC?
